My Bio
So much to say but not much to tell...

I'm an artist and photographer with a degree in art and a specialization in graphic design. I dabble in almost all things artsy and crafty from digital to traditional art, drawing and painting, sewing, paper crafting, even the occasional 3D work (mostly in the realm of clay).

My day job is graphic design and CSR work with a printing company. In my free time I prefer to photography, drawing, painting and making awesome works of art out of some stellar longboards with my amazing fiance. I'm a super-proud mommy of an absolutely awesome little girl who is the center of my universe so my creative time is limited but that's okay, it's worth it.

I love the normal things in life too, a good meal shared with good friends or the man I love, the beach (nothing quite like warm sand between the toes), horseback riding, museums, music (show me an artist who doesn't like music and I'll show you one that's dishonest), puzzles, naps on rainy days and really most animals. I could go on and on but I think that's a nice glimpse.

Of course there are always things we dislike, which I think also tell a lot about a person. Mine include but are not limited to: spiders, dishonesty, low self esteem (of which I am horribly guilty), closed mindedness, those whose goal in life is to pull people down (often connected to low self esteem, luckily not in my case) people who update facebook every time they fart, people who admire talent and assume they could never accomplish something like what they see and never know because they never try, being alone, the cold and all things associated with it and seriously, no joke here - SPIDERS! OMG SPIDERS!

I love doing custom art so if you're looking for something in particular, feel free to contact me.

Other Interests
My baby girl, spending time with the family and good friends, the usual.
So my actual drawing has become a bit stagnant while i've been focusing on photography lately and it's been bothering me. I mean, i've not been drawing much at all and certainly not enough to be improving. Since i've not yet chosen a New Year's resolution (well, other than continuing to loose weight) I've decided to draw every day. As a take on the Deviant Art's 100 themes challenge, I'll be using one theme a week and doing at least one drawing a day inspired by that theme. Each week (hopefully) i'll post here what i've come up with. This will have me drawing for 100 weeks - about 2 years and hopefully will have me going through quite a few s

So, i've decided to embark on a new and interesting journey... making kinesthetic (based on the way your body moves) moving kitty ears and tails. This will eventually spread out to fox, puppy, bunny, etc. but for now, kitties. It's going to take some funding which should be interesting to raise but we'll see how it goes. I've already had a $32 donation to the cause by BurleyD_SM on fetlife (huge thanks and hugs!)So it seems this is a worthwhile endeavor. In short though, this seems like it'll be freaking awesome! Feel free to contact me if you're interested in donating or supporting in any way. i even have a few great models willing to show o

I know, I know, I need to get better at updating this more often... So I've moved to Houston and am looking for a job and/or freelance work, if you know of anything, please feel free to message me! I've been taking new photos and now that it's officially summer and it's nice out, I'll be taking even more! I've also been drawing a good bit lately and hope to keep that up as well (uploads soon). I got a graphics tablet for Christmas and have been playing a lot with that, some pretty cool stuff has come of it (though my computer had to be reformatted so I lost a bunch of it) So keep a look out for a bunch of new stuff from me here pretty soon!
