Hey dA, it's been a while since I last put up a journal.

It's kind of funny thinking back about how much my life revolved around deviantArt back when I was in middle and high school. Not to say I don't still love this place, it's just I obviously haven't had the chance to uh, show my face around here as frequently.

I'm still college-ing it up, and finals week have just started. I hope it doesn't seem like I've been too absent this quarter, since I still do like posting stuff up here, hahaha! It has been a relatively easygoing quarter but now that finals are happening I have a feeling I might have a lot more art to show up...and to help me at least get my head back in the game of comics, I hope. That front has been alright. There was a gallery show I took part in, which was cool, and I really should post the comic up here at some point! *Samurai-Sky also visited last week, which was a lot of fun. I don't normally meet up with people off the internet except for at conventions, so it was very nice being able to just chillax and stuff, as well as draw with a friend I have known for quite a while only online. It was very nice and natural and I enjoyed the time we could spend together (even though I got sick)...oh no, I'll STOP BEING SAPPY BEFORE I GIVE MYSELF A BAD CASE OF THE GOOD FEELS. Anyways, Sky has all the doodles we did though.
So uh

I can't post none of that shit up yet!



I've been playing around with self-publishing and producing this quarter -- printed out like 75 copies of a minicomic (the one I mentioned above), printed small leave-behind postcards, worked on my portfolio, printed out REND as a booklet (WHICH WAS FUCKING AWESOME), and was a lot more productive than I expected...even though I started the quarter a bit on a bad foot with my mentality. Things are getting better even though I just got over a cold, heheh.

I really hope that sort of productivity is also happening on my dA. I don't like to neglect this place hardcore. What do you guys think? Am I taking too long to post art? Post responses? I won't say these responses will affect my activity, but I do like to know since I know there are quite a few of you people who're sticking around, and I do like to keep in touch with you guys even if I am god-awful at it.

Anyways, that's all from me for now. Hope you all have been doing well. As my final remarks IF ANYONE WANTS TO HUMOR ME (you don't have to answer any of these or all of them!) What have your endeavors with art been lately? Have you made any art that you were really proud of, or experimented with new mediums? Or have you done anything cool IRL?
