No Regrets!

No Regrets is the way I have claimed to have strove to live my life. In truth I have been living a half life. I have been afraid to fly. It was easier to walk the dusty roads that were well worn and well traveled than to make my own path with the clouds of my dreams. It took me over ten years to face this facet of myself and decide to be brave and leap off the cliff and see whether or not I would fly. I tell you all this to say that I am scared shitless and flying is scary but being scared has never stopped me before and it will not stop me now. So welcome to my blog. The chronicles of my beginning as an artist.

Granny's Painting... among other things...


Hello GUYS/GALS and who ever else is listening...

This has been a crazy week.  

Last saturday, after I posted my blog, a guy I know contacted me wanting to restart a project he was excited about last year.  Its my first big commission so now , I am super excited.  Its a two year project recreating the God's of Greek Legend with a modern twist.  I stand to make a large sum of money which will go directly to supplies and this will be a great way to incorporate all the new things I am learning.  This starts in march!!! My saturdays are gonna be nuts for the next two years if this goes where it should.

My old flame asked me to photograph him NUDE… i was like OK… i figured this would be a great opportunity to photograph people which i rarely do, and not only did we have a great shoot.  I took some great shots.  AND... He wants me to do some more work.  By May!!! Not to mention the drawing of himself he wants me to do.  Can we say when it rains….  

My frat has me doing two pieces for him thankfully there is no rush, I have finally finished the pre sketch so we can maybe get started on the actual items.  

Soooo... what I've been waiting to show you guys for a couple weeks, is the picture requested by granny.  ITS FINISHED I am so proud of myself.  It took forever it seems but its done.  I finished last night.  I want to send it off to her ASAP!!!.  So more than likely this coming saturday.   It normally takes me months to do something once I have gotten started so this is AWESOME!! 



I also thought I would throw in a few photographs of what I been taking this year.  Some manipulated, so not.  

























Oh yeah… the independent study is going off like a rocket.  I have so much to learn and so much to do… This year is going to be monumental. 

It's been a helleva week… until next time. 

Toodles ;-)
