pardon the dust

Ok, so I got away with it yesterday but I can't get away with not posting 2 days in a row for no reason.


Well not NO reason, I have a reason....


I'm currently updating the look of the blog...notice how it looks different? Well that was an accident, this is not what it's going to look like.


So far it's looking pretty decent, but I'm brand new at this HTML hoo haw so it's taking me a lot longer than I originally expected.


Tutorials are really vague these days man....seriously vague.


BUT I am making progress...it should be done by tomorrow's post WITH a scheduled illustration.


Sorry about the wait!!!!!


I love you all 


Till next time suckas


Peace

phew!

Hi! I'm baaaaack! I had an awesome day yesterday...and man am I beat! 


Good news everyone! I found my Wacom pen! All is not lost! I also got my boxes too! Time to start packing


....it'll be nice to see the carpet in my bedroom again. 


Now since my Wacom pen is back and I can go back to being the normal digital artist that I am, I present to you day 32 of 365, the afrodesiac logo (yes...afrodesiac is NOT uppercase...why? Because I don't like uppercase...it's still the name and it's proper...it's just not spelled with a capital letter...get it?)

What I like about this logo is that it's interchangeable...meaning I can put whatever pattern color or what behind it. Ahh, I love vectors!


Till next time suckas


Peace


(p.s there will be a surprise tomorrow...so tune in!!)

fall preview

Fall is my favorite season. Not necessarily because the clothes are cuter than in the Spring (I don't know about you but I love all clothes all year round) but because I was born in the Fall.


Didn't expect THAT did you.


So to celebrate the fact that Fall is coming, that this heat will subside, and that I will have a very happy birthday in the early Fall....I give you a Fall Preview of my line that will be coming out this Fall! Look out for it!


Day 31 of 365, Fall Preview!!

Who says you can't wear shorts in the fall? 

Look out for the Hardwire Fall 2010 for Afrodesiac coming soon!!!

Till next time suckas

missing...wacom pen

OK! So I'm really mad right now haha....I cannot find my Wacom pen, it was on my keyboard when I left a few days ago...and of course upon noticing that my lamp and screen had been moved when I got back...I didn't notice that the pen was gone


I'm pretty pissed actually.


I'm going to wait till it's like 10 pm to look for it because it's still too hot to do so right now..and me being mad and hot only makes me more angry not a good combo.


I had something nice and cool to talk about but this has put me in a bad mood


Why so mad Chadae? That thing cost 70 bucks to replace! And I've had it for 4 years and never lost it..but someone comes in my room and knocks stuff around and now it's gone...UGH!


really really reaaaaaally irritated


Day 30 of 365, 11 more months to go! So this is going to be my logo. It was SUPPOSED to be colored and neat and clean but...can't do that without my pen. So here's the sketch version for now

*grumbles* I'll get you the completed version as soon as I find that pen.  I may be messy but I have things organized in the way I want them to be....so it really rubs me the wrong way when my stuff is just thrown around and messed with.

now I have a headache

ugh.

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.

Till next time suckas

Peace

a promise breaker

Okay, I almost didn't post today because I was so busy!! Blah!

And I apologize for not having a picture today. Sorry. I think that I'm not going to catch up or play catch up when I miss a day, just continue on when I'm able to do it. No this doesn't mean suddenly it's going to become all sporadic and I'll never post, just there will be some skipped days...like today, and tomorrow, and the next day!

I'm sure you all don't mind...and if you do tough lucky buddies!!

Till next time suckas

Peace

doing what you want

For a long time I've always done what others wanted me to do...to a certain extent. And when I didn't I would get called selfish and defiant..yet it was always okay for them to do whatever they wanted.

Yes I am stubborn, while doing my undergrad there were many a time I would clash with a teacher over my own personal style.

They would always say stuff like 'You'll never be able to do what you want.' 'You can't expect that' and blah blah blah

Why do we have to submit to others when we don't think it'll benefit ourselves? And I'm not talking about a higher power, I'm talking about from man to man.

I think it's b.s.

So lately I've been doing stuff for me..and boy do I love it. Not that I completely disregard others, I just accommodate...like you're supposed to do.

If you're feeling like you're being pushed around...do this for yourself..you'll feel great later.

Now that that's over onto day 28 of 365, another guy!!!! It's Samir!!

I am working on getting better at drawing men...it can be difficult since my style is so feminine...wish me luck!!

Till next time suckas

Peace
