I am writing this from a cafe, so if you're all wondering where I've been....I've been in Georgia for a little over two weeks now.
BUT I have no internet...boooo. We just so happen to live outside of many internet providers limits in the Atlanta area.
it's been rough...I take that back not having internet at every waking moment has been rough. But everything else has been great....awesome really. I'm slowly getting to know the area, and my friends friends. It was pretty awesome to come here and be anticipated. Everyone practically knew who I was! That was a good feeling.
I still don't have alot of furniture, so drawing and sewing are out of the question at the moment. I know alot of people were anticipating my debut....that I keep pushing back. Well....it's being pushed back till spring...again (I'm not excited about this fact, I was very pumped to get a line but I guess I just gotta put it up to circumstance right now...oh well)
There will be periodic updates until we get internet at the house which will hopefully be in a few months. During this time I will be drawing and designing....so I'll try to post those updates when I can.
I love you all and thanks for sticking with me during my absence, and shoot maybe cutting myself off cold turkey from the internet will help me a bit....though I will sadly admit I feel creatively cut off as well...but I'll get through it!!!
Till next time suckas
Peace

life happens for a reason
Well hello there everyone! I'm back! Yay! I had alot of fun on my mini getaway!
While I was at the beach I was given the chance to meet some very wise older women (like my great-grandma's age...80s), I'm not knocking any of my close friends and family who have had my back through everything, but to have these two look me in the eyes and say flat out: You have the drive, you have the talent...you're going to do very well.
It made me very happy. I'll admit, sometimes I don't believe what people tell me (that know me) because I feel like it's usually said to get me to shut up. But know I understand that, most people are like me....lying takes alot more effort than the truth...and my friends and family wouldn't lie to me.
So if I sucked...they sure as heck would tell me...in a nice way.
I think I'm finally at the point where I'm ready to get on with my life...it also can be called growing up..which I try to do a little of from time to time.
I'm stoked about my new ventures....that tiny light has become a huge opening and I'm stepping through.
All of this being said, I will be diving head first into my work. I will be opening my online store by October (at the LATEST). I will be selling my own designs, reworked vintage clothing, vintage clothing, and possibly...artwork as well.
I'll say it here first, I am currently working my way to opening a stand alone store selling what I'll be selling in my online store. I would like to have this done...well started in the next few years.
Extremely excited, the Lord has put me through pain and sadness, only because 1. He knew I could get past it and 2. Without trials...one cannot enjoy the good times in life.
This is an extremely good time, even if yeah I don't have a job nor do I have alot of money, but creativity is flowing and I'm going to create like crazy....it's what I do!
To everyone that has helped me through good and bad times (you know exactly who you are), I thank you with my whole heart.
Now! Day 29 of 365! This is a sketch I did for a client...it's a preliminary sketch thus why I'm sharing it with you all.

I'm pretty excited about this project. It's the first time I'll be actually making artwork like this....I don't know why I haven't done it before. Ah well.

it's for the fajas
Happy Papa's Day!!!
My dad is awesome, I'm just saying. He's a pretty cool guy, even though he can be incredibly dorky at times (but for real tho)
I finished his gift about an hour ago and had my brother try it on. I must say, it's pretty snazzy. Pictures will be posted tomorrow, since my dad won't be here till late (he has to work EVERY holiday...seriously) soo no pics until he's here. Plus the gift doesn't look good unless it's on a body.
...I made him pajamas <3
Oh and you heard it here second (I posted this on FB last night)...I am moving to Atlanta, Georgia the week after Labor Day (probably like the next day or two haha). I've never been to Georgia..or for that matter the East Coast besides NYC. It's going to be a great adventure (I am driving cross-country with my two buddies...Miroku and Tsuka) and I'm pretty excited.
Why? I'm going to go to grad school out there.
Again why? California is just not working out..and plus how am I going to let THAT opportunity just slide by. Never...
Ok! Well now that that's all said and done it's time for Day 6 of 365!!! Whoo!!! This is Brigette

She is the only character that I've actually modeled after a real person. Brigette is modeled after a good friend of mine in both personality and looks <3
Hats are difficult...I'll work on that...and my perspective..
COLOR PICTURE TOMORROW whoooooo!!
Till next time suckas
