Commission Info:
I finished a commission and now have an opening for another. Yay! Oh so busy lately though, so I won't be getting to it very quickly. No, not very quickly at all...
For You!
Having finished a commission, I have updated the gift art section. Not my best work ever, but then again, it's been almost a year since I've drawn anything.
Shop:
All of the "newest" designs have new products in them. Not that the designs are new, but there are new goodies to be had, still.
Radio Station:
This month is brought to you by the letter "R". Any artists on my station who have a name or band beginning in R are featured this month. Yeah, I try to keep it fresh. ^_~
I am forever and a day between these updates although I have been trying to update my site pretty regularly. I was pretty happy with my commission for Starry even though it's been a while since I've made anything, until a friend of mine said in no uncertain terms that my craftsmanship has deteriorated. *sigh* I am a big fan of honesty and I tend to be pretty blunt myself at times, but this was a time when a little sugar-coating to the honesty might have been preferred. I've been really down about my artwork and lack of time to dedicate to it. I am well aware that this picture is not my best, but I wouldn't call it my worst either. Feel free to have a look and make your own opinions. I don't get mad about constructive criticism, so feel free. "What the hell happened to you?!" isn't exactly constructive though...
Moving on. I am so happy when things sell in my shop! I love getting those little emails telling me someone has bought something. I wish so much that it was quicker to update so I could do so much more with it, but just updating one design onto 5 new products took well over an hour today. Danged dial up. Thanks to the person that bought something this month! *hugs*
Work is alright, but I'm not paid anywhere near what I was making before and that makes things a little more difficult. Okay, a lot more difficult. Rent just went up and my budget is stretched to the limit. I am currently paycheck to paycheck and I hate that. I miss the financial security, but I don't miss the jackass boss. Just so you don't think I'm all about bad news, I just heard that porn was found on Six's computer. NYAHAHAHAA! Eat Karma! Oh the little things help get me through these days. ^_^ You have no idea how bad this guy was to me (and still is to others). I blame him muchly for my current situation. Not entirely. I have to take some responsibility for myself. I did decide to stay there for as long as I did.
I've been doing the Artist's Way again. I love that book! Thank you, Tiana! I just got to the chapter where I have to not read for a full week. I don't even know how that's possible. I work in a bookstore... But anyway, until next week I won't be on Gaia, DeviantArt, any other forum that I frequent, checking email, IMing, reading diaries, no NPR, or even listening to music that has lyrics. I am allowed to write, just not read or overstimulate my brain with other input. I had better magically turn into a better artist, become enlightened, or at least get some wild spiritual trip out of this! >_< But if you're trying to reach me, I'll be sitting here in silence, trying to figure out my Maya project without a froggin' book for a guide!
Oh yeah, I've started working out this week. I'm using the weight training from The Body Sculpting Bible for Women. It is very cool. I feel like I'm getting a great workout without all of the agony the next day. I'm enjoying it so far. I'll let you know how long that lasts. Hahaha!
Well, time to get back to the Maya. My project is due next week. 0_0! AAAAAAH!!!
I love food scented candles. *chews*
XOXOX,
Loch
