My Bio

I am not an artist.

I hack a living as a graphic designer. I got an associate's art degree before I started on graphic design. I didn't continue because I realized I don't have what it takes to be a true artist.

But I still enjoy drawing and painting, as well as the digital art forms I make my living from. And I post stuff here because, well, why not?

Enjoy. Comments are both appreciated and reciprocated.

Current Residence: Miles from anywhere
Favourite genre of music: Rock-alternative-NOT country
Favourite photographer: The first one who takes a picture of me that I like.
Favourite style of art: Cave paintings. Yes, really.
Operating System: OSX
MP3 player of choice: New iPhone!
Favourite cartoon character: Brian & Stewie (they are inseparable and therefore count as one)
Personal Quote: Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there. (Will Rogers)

And she lived happily ever after

This month I moved out on my own for the first time ever. I've always lived with family or roommates in the past. I actually like it. I'm in a cute little 1920s-built house with creaky floors and arched doorways. It has two bedrooms, one for me and one for my cat. I think the crazy cat lady hermit life is going to work for me. My time online has been practically nonexistent since I moved. I think in the past I just hung around on the computer so much to hide from whoever I lived with. Or maybe the internet is just getting boring. No one actually posts about themselves on Facebook anymore, it's just one long string of youtube links and George

I am so lazy. I bookmarked a good Illustrator tutorials site and was looking forward to trying some of them out this weekend. I just started looking over the list of cool things I could learn to do and though "eh....too much like work." I blame my job for sucking out all desire to do anything at all related to graphic design at the weekends. I can't really paint either because most of my stuff is packed away, some even at the storage unit. We're getting the house ready for my sister to sell, which means I'm basically living on necessities only from now until it sells. It's kind of a pain, but I'm looking forward to moving. Even if it's just

5 Thoughts for the Day

1. Actually, I think I do like it here in many ways. True, there's not a lot to do here, but there's enough. And more lively places are within easy traveling distance. And in the mean time it's a very safe, homey place to live. I think what I actually hate about it is the feeling of being alone. There are plenty of things to do here, it's just boring to do them by yourself. I'm a lone single girl in a town full of Leave It to Beaver families. 2. Why is it that every time the weather gets cold, hordes of people walk through the doors and smugly say "So much for global warming!" and they think they're being clever? Not only does it sound ridic
