So after today I probably won’t be using this blog anymore. I keep getting bots and a family member of mine just recently had her site hacked. So naturally, everyone is worried. I really would like to just keep everything in once place so, from now on this will just be an updates blog and the website is going to get redone AGAIN to accomodate this change and to also make room for the comics I will be working on in the near future (I hope).
So if you’d still like to keep in touch with updates, keep the RSS feed, or add my sketchblog to your bookmarks. If you have a livejournal or a facebook, that is the best way to keep up with me and my life in general. My LJ is friends only, though, sorry.
Thanks for understanding. I doubt anyone really read this blog anyway unless they checked the site for updates. I am trying to update more since I am comfortably at home now. There have just been some things that needed my attention before the internet. ( a hard concept, I know)
So hang tight, I’ll be back in a few days. Thanks for sticking with me thus far.
I went out with the dogs the other day. Since I am currently working on art right now I thought I would tide everyone over with some photos. It’s been a long time since I got to spend any time with Max, my old man I love him dearly. Too bad its been to cold out for us to really go and play. Cold or wet. He doesn’t like either and neither do I.
And of course, Ginny got to come too~
Ginny kept attacking Max whenever I tried to play with him. She wanted to play fetch but like most dogs would rather run off with the ball in her mouth than to drop it and let you throw it again.
He has the most beautiful eyes
I try not to post so many photos~ but there were too many not to post.

Okay so I haven’t really updated in a while. I haven’t had anything to really update WITH. I haven’t drawn anything and I’ve been writing but not as much. I guess the Christmas season just has me a little down, but also a little optimistic. I was excited for the cold and stuff but mostly I just wanted to see snow. Well, here in TN there is no snow. Just carpety yellow landscaping grass everywhere. But I did finally finish my Christmas shopping today so there is something. I’m very excited for Christmas and getting to see my family and friends and spend time with everyone. I just tend to be pessimistic and think “oh god please nothing go wrong” which I think is a common mindset during this season. Haha.
Anyway I recovered from my stomach flu/virus or whatever it was and now I think I am getting a cold (woopeeee) but I am trying to remain optimistic despite my unemployment and find ways to keep myself busy and to keep plugging away at Half Blood, because that’s all I breathe and eat these days. I don’t tend to post much of this stuff on blogs nobody really reads but here it is. I am looking for help on Half Blood. I already have a few people interested in helping and I’m so so sooo grateful to them! But I thought I would post this out there, and not make a thing of it. So if you are a reader of my sketchblog then info is HERE. That’s all I can really say right now.
Other than that, I have many plans for the future and for the new year but I don’t want to say anything because, well, I just might jinx it
Later dudes~
By the way, I have the new issue of YEN. Ajah is HAPPEH.
-EDIT- OH. First of all. I checked my site stats today and OMG. I have soo many viewers from all over the world. Thankyouthankyouthankyou! Even if you really hate me and my work, I appreciate it ^^; At least you took some time to look. I hope that doesn’t scare anyone away but holy cheesestick I was pretty surprised. So I hope everyone keeps reading and I don’t really know how everyone is finding my website but I promise I will have things to update with soon, after Christmas things should get back on track. Hopefully. Maybe. *crosses fingers* I are to be promising for no more boring. Yus.

So in case anyone hasn’t noticed i have removed Half Blood and Torwyn from the selection of writing and from the front page. Why is this? Well, Torwyn I still feel like i am not ready to work on it yet even though I thought I was. I was really excited about it and wanted a new project to keep my imagination clean when things got too bogged down with my other stories. It was going to be a kind of let loose and go thing and I kept a link up on the site because I wanted everyone to see what I was working on but life has become a factor and, well, I just can’t have something extra lying around making empty promises to myself.
Half Blood is not on hiatus though, nor is it gone. The idea to make it on its own little mini site was a dumb idea though it seemed like a good one at the time. For a long time I have been waiting to make my website the home of Ajahli’s world and stories but I realize that Half Blood is also about her world and Rakka’s world and the two are intertwined. Yes, that means Ajahli is important to his story too. So in January or February when I have the time I will redo the website yet again but hopefully it will be in a way I can relax with. The only problem with some of these ideas is I can never see how they work until they are put into action. Plus, I love this layout way too much to really change it just yet and keeping this blog has been a lot of fun for me and a great way for me to update easily and share with everyone stories about my life, my work and what I’m interested in.
Back to the point:
Half Blood is just getting some slight renovations is all. I struggle daily with what format it should be in, what point of view, what setting, what point on the timeline, and everything in between. I struggle with how much art to include and how much not to include, how to mingle the comic artist in me and the writer in me to make a successful work of art and storytelling. But people have been telling me not to give up just because of what someone else thinks or because someone might be illiterate or misunderstand. I have to do it for me rather than for someone else. So I took it offline momentarily so that there is no pressure, so that I can focus on what I want to do with it. I do like that everyone is excited about it though. I think that’s a real plus when it comes to drawing comics and writing because when others are excited about it I am too and it makes me want to work harder.
But I just kind of have to take Rakka by the hand and step aside and point to the stars and say “aren’t they pretty?”
His answer would be “no” of course but, you get the point.
In real life I am battling a stomach virus. That’s about all I can say right now. I haven’t drawn anything or written anything. But I did win a contest.

I don’t think youtube quality does this anime any justice but, I always have this song in my head. Yus.
gfff I love this son,g I love this video. The cinematics are awesome, Riyu Kosaka’s voice is so beautiful and I just love everything about it. I only watched one episode of Claymore and I’m not sure if I like it or not but I love this song so I guess it doesn’t matter.
Yes I like Japanese music. Shut the heck up.

This is Teddy, my new hamster. I fell in love with her the moment I saw her. She’s a tiny little thing, but she’s smart, attentive, adorable and energetic. And she’s nocturnal. ^^;
Ginny doesn’t know what to make of her yet.

I love him dearly. Too bad its been to cold out for us to really go and play. Cold or wet. He doesn’t like either and neither do I.
