Yeah... the title pretty much says it all. I have been so busy this past month and a half, it's ridiculous! So remember that good news I mentioned (and have neglected to elaborate on for quite some time)? Well I got excepted for an internship at Obsidian Gallery in the Houston Heights area. (Yay! *does a happy dance*) And I've really been enjoying it. (Here's a picture cause I think it's a really pretty space. hardakerandhardaker.com/index.…) So in between that, working for my uncle, babysitting, doing paper work for some of the artists, and my own personal art endeavors, well, to be redundant, things have been busy. But in a good way. It's just tricky going from completely unemployed to basically having two jobs.
But I definitely prefer the latter. Being unemployed sucked so bad.
But any who, for those of you I still owe work to, sorry it's taken this long. It's just both the job and the internship where (pleasant but) unexpected surprises and I've had to put a number of things on hold. But they will be done soon, so have no worries and thanks for being patient.
Oh, and some group pimpage. I recently joined which is a group that basically every month does art trading cards. What's an art trading card? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artist_t… You don't have to do it every month, which is nice if your scedule is too busy, just for the months you sign up for. So check it out. I've rather enjoyed it so far (even if I need to finish mine for this month! XD).
Hope everybody has, had or will have an awesome Spring break! Enjoy the weather! Loves!

Hey Gang...
So I really haven't had much time to be on DA lately. I've just... well, had a lot to do. But no worries, my spirits are good. (I had an awesome day yesterday) I'm just probably not gonna get around to looking at anybody's stuff for a little while. But rest assured I'll go through everything when I get the chance. I'm not ignoring you guys, promise! I hope everyone is doing well.
Loves!

Holy Crap! A Year Already?
So come a few more hours and I will have officially been on DA for a year now. Which is crazy because I feel like I joined only a couple of months ago... I joined mostly for two reasons: 1.) To get over my shyness of showing my work to other people and 2.) To meet and connect with other artists.
And I think I've achieved both of those things. Before I joined the community, I barely showed my artwork to anyone but nowadays I give my gallery link to anyone even mildly interested in my work. I still have some insecurities that I need to get over but I think I've definitely come a long way. And even though I'm not as sociable online as I'd like
Screwin' Around + Feature?
Just playing around with my journal. My Favorite color is red so I tweaked it a bit, added a to do list, etc.
Just curious, anybody like a pic or two featured? It'll just be a small one but I wanted some pretty stuff to go in my journal. Just send me a link to your favorite pic and I'll post it. I don't expect to get a lot but I'll probably cut it off after the first 10 or so (If that). Loves! :heart:

Some Updates
Soooo... As I'm sure a number of you might've noticed, I'm definitely back from my DA break and I figured maybe a bit of an update was in order:
The beginning of the year sorta "artist retreat" (if your own apartment can count as a retreat :P) went pretty well, actually. Despite my family's attempts to constantly distract me with promises of booze and live bands, I was actually able to get a lot of brainstorming and just general practicing accomplished. I made out my list of artistic goals for this year, figured out how to solve some (although definitely not all) of the artistic problems that'd been bugging me for a while, and made a lot o
