So here I am. Alive, doing the whole college thing, balancing jobs, bills and school, and not dead yet. Its rather surprising really. I apologize for like... not updating since January. I got into this really big research project that I got a scholarship for and stuff. Some nice stuff... like Nobel Prize winning stuff. Anywho, the other day I had a slight mid-life crisis.

The lack of the wonderful energies of Creativity and Art that I have lacked for so much in my life, and the realization that I should stop being a hypocrite when I say that most artists always say that they're work sucks and stuff but its not really true. I'm no good at most artistic things, that is true, I lack creativity and motivation, but I'm gonna change that I also just realized i think the last 2 sentences probably made no sense o.o Okay. So my mid-life crisis is that Ive decided to take my skills at printing, and well... color and stuff, and learn more about Photoshop to make pretty things These include making CG wallpapers, Stationary sets, designs and stuffs. I realize that I'm not to good on the drawing stuff out or my head area, so I will mostly doing wallpapers and graphics and Stationary sets for people who request, or I ask to do them for using some of they're art. Obviously giving them credit and for they're work and permission is a must, but I think in a way I could do some decent stuff, and maybe after a while and some learning I can do some really nice CG's and hopefully actual original art.

So yeah... Anywho, Ive got my first project underway which should be up within the week. It is a stationary set, Notepads and Postcards Im thinking. Im going to post the notepad designs one at a time, and then a zip file of the printable PDF contents all ready to be printed and cut. The original art work is done by who is a rather amazing artist by the way, everyone who watches these should go look at her page

Anywho, I figured this would be a nice little update In which I hope to better my lack there of. So look forward to some stuff, I hope. Till next time. Toodles.
