So! Here's this journal thing. There -> [link] is where much stuff is rambled on. This is sort a continuation of that.

I've hidden a bunch of old stuff and will probably hide more as time goes on, also going to rearrange my gallery folders and such; probably based on age/technique/media instead of the current mess of... well... It's a mess.

I'm starting to photograph my classwork from the past couple semesters for submission here, and really can't wait to get them posted, especially my work from spring '11 in Basic Design and some of my pots in Ceramics this semester. ( Raku! Wood fire! So pretty!) Some of my writing and poetry is also imminently going to show up, since that's the most accessible for submission and I've been told a certain piece is very good.

I've fallen out of the habit of sketching constantly like I used to; and I'm still trying to wrap my head around the idea of not drawing exclusively characters when I open a sketchbook. Basic Design started to break that mental habit, and both Ceramics and Jewelry are continuing to erode it - thinking outside the character art box. Probably a very good thing for me, and probably a thing that will actually get me practicing more. Not to say that I'm going to abandon character art, I've spent too long learning and growing there to just dump it... */ramble*

On the note of classes! I've thus far taken three art classes: Basic Design (a 2-design survey of sorts), Ceramics 1, and Jewelry 1. Design was last semester (spring '11) and the other two are this semester. They also eat most of my time, since I'm having to take extra lab time to get my required projects done by the end of the semester. Everything can be blamed on that.

Kinda having to get the hang of DA again, too. For everything that's changed with me, three dozen have changed with DA. Good lord. Groups? Points? Llamas? Muro? Stash? Plz?

WHAT ARE THESE SHENANIGANS. o_o
