Added 2 new pieces. One is my first vector of a person. It's a work in process so please comment with feedback. My other piece is a pretty crap wallpaper... It's pretty-ish but it's nothing special, in my opinion.

I got invited to join National Art Honor Society! Yay! This means more art-related stuff to put on my college application. Fundamentals is alright. We've completed one piece. I'll take a picture and put it up when I get it back.

Another update: One new photomanipulation that I made out of boredom and because I loooooooooove Foto Decadent. It's not amazing but I was bored.

---------------------------------------------------------

Augh. School is coming in 5 days. My schedule is on my xanga and my myspace. I'm signed up for Fundementals with Petecki (Yay Petecki!). That means that I'm going to have stuff that I actually drew on here. That's scary. I haven't seriously tried to draw anything (by hand) since 8th grade.

Update: There are 5 (I think) photographs that I took of my sister. I'm no photographer but they came out pretty good. It's just something that I did out of boredom comments are lovely.

Also, on the 12th (my birthday), I went to downtown Chicago for an interview/tour of the American Academy of Art. It was a very nice school. It was a little to small for me. Plus, I don't want to go to a school that's focused on one thing. I want to get a degree in computer graphics or web design or something but I also want to minor in things like history or programming or english or at least explore these fields further. I want to go to the University of Illinois. Still, it was a cool experience. And the guy who interviewed me loved my portfolio (pretty much what's on this site). He says I have great potential and a good understanding of what's visually appealing. Yay for a confidence boost!

So yeah. Summer. Plenty of time for art, maybe. I am working though... Hopefully I'll find time.

Update: I submitted a new logo from my computer graphics class. Comment please!

As you can see, this is pretty much a portfolio that is updated once a month, at most.

I love helpful comments (critiques, if you will).

From now on I'll put up updates everytime I add things. There will be more coming soon as I take things from my drive at school and upload them. My school blocked deviant so I can't do it there. Otherwise, it would be updated regularly...
