- Hello folks! How is everyone? C :
I am...well, tired, which has been pretty regular lately. While I'm not complaining, per say, work has been almost unusually rough. I have to wonder if it's due to the difficult times we're all experiencing - what with taxes going up, along with everything else. There has been a pretty significant rise in the number of suicidal attempts in LA County and it's running us ragged. We try to smile when we show up at three in the morning to gently carry folks off to locked facilities outside the city, but sometimes it comes with half buttoned uniform shirts, messy hair, and un-zipped boots. So, needless to say, I've been pulling energy from I don't even know where for the last several weeks, haha. <: )

All that aside, things have been well. I've certainly been drawing a lot more often and working out more, which is probably what's keeping any tension in check. When I'm not doing either of those things, I've been reading or - doing my absolute favorite thing - sleeping. C :

I went and saw District 9 last Friday and...I honestly believe that everyone should do everything in their power to see this film. It was definitely one of the deepest, most profound, films I've seen in a long - long - time. I won't say a word more, since I don't want to give away any details for those who haven't yet seen it, and I urge those who comment to do the same, but please feel free to say whether you've gotten a chance to view it yet or not. Just completely amazing. I was totally silenced by the end and it lingered for nearly an hour.

Lastly, congratulations to musician Adam Young, better known as Owl City. I have been following Owl City for quite a while now, but this new album he's released is just amazing; he's finally receiving the recognition he's always deserved. It's always rather inspiring to see a modest artist make it, ya know? C :

I'd like to make myself believe
that planet Earth turns
slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Because everything is never as it seems...

- Now, down to the art business. I've been doing a lot of work lately, though it's been just a lot of sketching and burning off the ends of old unfinished work. I've got an entire folder full of WIPs that I've promised myself to clear out over the next couple of months; So within these coming weeks I should be posting pretty regularly. C :
Among these are art trades, RP work, Space Pirates, Subeta work, and memes. The work ranges Digital to Traditional.

On top of these, I've started a cute project with ~ExposedWires. While laying around in his room, we decided to create a wall paper - the kind that is simply a strip along the top of the wall that meets the ceiling. The paper is a two foot length and on it will be a robot marching band. Several folks visit his house daily, so each of them will be asked to draw a robot. He is doing the leading robot with the baton and I'm working on a snare-drum player behind him. It will be in full colour in whatever medium the artist wants to work in, so it should be rather cute and diverse. C :

All that aside, I'll end this entry with no previews, since they'd just be the same ones from the previous entry. Instead, I leave you with a four year old oekaki that was one of the first I ever did and is still rather close to my heart.

Take care!
