News!

Hi everyone! Sorry I've been gone for most of the month. I've been really busy with work and the holidays. It's been a bit rough but I'm glad for the most part it's over. I did get to take my first solo road trip up to Richmond to reconnect with some close friends. It was really great to see them all again.

In Art related news: I'm going to be teaching a comics class with my local adult learning center. All the info is here. I'll be making fliers tomorrow to drop off at my local comic book store this week. I'm pretty excited! I'll be sharing my love of comics, and what I learned about them in school, with others. They are also going to let high school kids ages 16 and up take the class too so hopefully I can inspire some of them to per-sue doing comics. 10th grade was when I first realized this was what I wanted to do; even if no one will pay me, so it'll be pretty rad to see other kids with the same passion and help nurture it.

I'm also gearing up to do some painting soon. My mom passed down all her acrylic paints and supplies to me so now I have a lot more to work with. I'm working on a little personal water color painting but I find myself in the state of 'I really want to work on something but I want to skip the layout work and just jump into it!' which never works out, so I've had to slow myself down. I've also been getting back into some jewelry/accessory making and just bought some supplies from JoAnn's fabrics today. Yay for sales! I'll be posting anything I come up with if its' nice enough. I haven't gotten a lot of overall comics or work done. I've been stretching myself out so much I'm feeling a bit flustered. But my time should be opening up soon so I'll have time to get grinding on some art works! I'll also be working on my Etsy store, so I'll post that here and around when it's finally running. I'm hoping to be selling comics, artwork, and hand made accessories.

Well I'm off to work for now. I'll be posting more work here soon. I hope you all had a fantastic holiday!
