Well, what do you know. My computer is (finally!) running again so I can actually get some artwork done again. Look out for scraps, for I have a few doodles going. I've been working on that project I spoke about back during my birthday and every thing is running amazingly well.

Work-wise, if all goes well, I should be able to quit my job soon in favor of taking an internship (sadly, I don't think I'll be able to give them much notice, but such is life.) I'll be a production assistant. Starting off working on an indy film, but hopefully this will lead to working on feature films and getting paid in a couple of days what I usually get paid in a week. What I'm really batting for is t be able to get in on the Art Department 'cause folks, it looks like fun (and the pay is pretty sweet, too.) Given, the days are long and the work isn't constant, but still. It's something where I'd be able to go home everyday feeling pretty good about myself. I mean, if I'm gonna be sitting around trying to figure ut what I cann use stuff for, I might as well get paid for it, no?

And really, to e able to acutally be on a set where amazing things are happening and be in near constent motion, it's awesome. And, dude, they FEED you. It is the LOVE!

Well, folks. As of today, Tuesday, November 14th, 2006 I'm 19 years old. Do I feel wiser? A bit. Older? Kinda. At the same time, I'm currently at a bit of a empass. I've just recently graduated High School and am really not looking forward to college (please, do not try to convince me of whether or not I should go. I've had a bit of an earful lately), though I do finally have a job wit decent hours and not half-bad pay. My relationship with my boyfriend is rocky at best, but appears to be improving as of late.

On top of all that, I'm trying to start a business with said boyfriend and his best friend. Things are progressing a bit slowly, but they are indeed moving (the domain for said business should be up soon). Furthermore, I'm trying to (unsucessfully) raise money for a straight to garment printer.

As for my personal issues... well, there e quite a few of them. I'm considering having my head checked out. It's like, my brain used to fire off at a mile a minute, and now it's sluggish as all Hell. It seems that as I get old, I'm getting dumber. Conceptd that were very simple to me are now beyond my grasp. Perhaps it's a side effect of no longer being in school, or maybe I have a tumor or something. Maybe, just maybe, I'm loosing my fucking mind. That would be new and exciting.

As of right now I'm trying to build up my credit while at the same time havng enough money to eat. I'm also trying to save up cash to get an apartment (it's not looking so good... eck...) and have realized I'd need a fixed schedual of a good 30 hours a week at LEAST to be able to get an apartment, even with two other people.

Okay, my previous journal entry wasn’t very clear as to what I wanted to do exactly. I’ll try to be here. I’m trying to raise money to run a T-shirt/Print selling business. The most expensive thing I’m trying to get is a Straight to Garment Printer [link] It’s $14,995. I already have a domain and web host, I just need to get the pages up.

On top of that, I need to get the shirts, but they’re not hard to get. Nor are they too expensive. Especially when bought in bulk.

So far, a lot of my designs shown on this site (those not down with stock photos or someone else’s brushes) will be printed on the shirts along with snarky/humorous/political comments and new designs I’ll do just for the shirts. Originally, the shirts will either be black or white. As time goes on (and depending on my success rate) I’ll be using more colors.

As for prints of my work, I’ll likely get them done with Orange32 [link] because they rock my socks.

At the moment, I have a CaféPress ([link]) store to help raise money as well as a donation system set up with Paypal (link is on my here---> [link]). Though, it makes more sense to go to CafePress since then you get stuff.

Furthermore, I’d like to point out that I DID NOT get an ad on DeviantART to promote my business. I did it because I wanted more people to see and read my work. Simple as that. Call it silly, but I like the attention. While I do my art for myself, I like to know that others appreciate it as well.

Please donate.

So, I'm trying to start up my business. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me raise the money to start up. Everyone who donates will get something special. I'm not sure what exactly, likely a free t-shirt or something. So, please, help me out. I'm trying to raise $20,000. Steep, I know, but every little dollar counts. Even if you only submit a buck, you'll get something.


I'll make a poll later to ask what people want.

The donation link is here on my writing journal.

Thank you.

So, as of late I've been suffering from a (likely stress enduced) multimedia block an it's been driving me bonkers. It's been noted that my last two pieces appear rather forced and my wrting has been suffering greatly. So, for as long as it takes I will likely be taking a brake from art in general. HOWEVER, I'll likely take this time to start loading up my stock images (of which I have hundreds... I think... >< and the odd photograph (really doesn't take as much strain as everything else does).

I've been pretty depressed lately, which is likely contributing to this block. GRAG!

Eh... I'll get over it.
