Update:
I saw this in =NadezhdaVasile's journal and thought it might be fun! ^^
~~FREE SKETCH RAFFLE~~
This is how it works... I offer three FREE sketches to a random three people who comment in this journal! (I will choose by picking names out of a hat to be fair.. or if only 3 people post.. well then you know the drill.)
To take part, though, you must give the same offer in your own journal and post a link here with the COLD HARD EVIDENCE.
Let the games begin! (I will pick names in a week or so.. depending on the volume of people who actually play along. :-p)

NEWS:
So, first off, exciting news! I have been asked to display my work in a local exhibit for the month of April!
This gives me a month to pick through all of my stuff and hopefully also punch out a few new things worth being hung up on a wall (in PUBLIC) for a month. lol I'm thinking I definitely want to get some canvases and do a few paintings! I already have a few ideas for ones I want to do!
Currently I'm working on an Art Trade with ~Zipti3
EDIT: Here's my half (finished):
AND here is her half of the trade:
It is of my horse Phoenix. He's an Arabian. img.photobucket.com/albums/v95…
A full list of the things I'm working on can now be found on my profile (for those that are interested.) I have a feeling this is going to be a busy month, which will be A-Ok if it's mostly art related. Finally mailed my Gradschool Application!! So I don't have to worry about that anymore! YAY!
And speaking of YAY.. Jared Leto won the vote for #CelebrityPortraits "Celebrity of the Month!" Say hello to the month of Jared! So, of course, I'll have to add another portrait to my list of things to do! AND, maybe I'll even bring it with me when I see 30 Seconds to mars in concert next month and try to get it signed by him! ^^ (Yup, bought my Into the Wild tickets last week. SO excited! It's been 4 years since I've seen them live! )
I couldn't decide what to feature this month and so I'm just going to feature a bunch of random stuff that I think is awesome. (Basically went through my favorites and picked some stuff. A lot of beach/ocean things because I miss living near the beach.)

2019 New Years Feature
Happy New Years everyone!Each year seems to go by ever faster than the one before! It's getting a bit out of control. How do we slow down the time vortex?
All jokes aside, it does feel like the past few years have flown by at lightening speed. One of my goals for 2019 is to slow down and try to take time to actually work on my dreams and goals (before time gets too far away.) Part of that is taking more time to work on art.. and growing my business!
Here's some of my most recent work..
I'd love to do more craft fairs and even venture to a comicon this year. Part of that goal is creating more items paintings for merch (Prints, bookmarks, ma

February Feature 2018
I can't believe how inactive I've been over the past year! Woops! I have gotten really busy with work and life, but am trying to make more time for ART again! I'm slowly working on getting back into the groove.
Here are a few pieces that I've completed recently..
I have been playing around a lot lately with gouache paints. They are so much fun and I highly recommend them to anyone who likes working with watercolors. I won't plaster them all here, but if you want to see more of my gouache paintings (so far) you can check out my gallery.
But without much more ado.. I'd like to get onto my favorite part of these features... Sharing the ART o
