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 to be(or have the time to be), I've really met a handful of awesome people this past year. You guys are great and are seriously a source of inspiration for me! And the same goes for all of my watchers. You guys make me feel like maybe I can actually get somewhere someday. And I appreciate that more than you know. So thanks you guys! I've got nothing but love for you all!
Oh! And I've got some good news to share that I'm very excited about. But I'm gonna wait till it's hands down official before I do so that I don't jinx anything. But I'm very pleased. And a little terrified.
I wish everybody the best! 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!

Insanely Busy!
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. http://hardakerandhardaker.com/index.php?p=1_8_Obsidian-Gallery-Upcoming-) 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, thing
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
