8/28 a new month approach-eth. saturday is for squandering my hard earned pesos. i havent picked up a guitar for couple years, and every morning on the way to my car, ive seen a guitar pick on the ground, so i went and bought a guitar. i mean come on. i found a pick, i NEED a guitar to utilize my new found treasure. im in sales so im not hard to sell. salesperson 'we have a protection plan for a year...' me ' i probably wont use it but you can sell it to me.' josh the salesman was very pleased that i bought every recommendations. im easy.
also, i dont harbor resentment anymore. so here's repost of an old friend. hope all is well in your neck of the woods biker chick.
8/26 acorn tree sketch - woman swirly hair sketch (semi nude NSFW) trying to get back my momentum. i know recently ive been doing unfinished unpolished images, and the trend is going to continue for a bit while i brush up on some techniqiues. i feel that a new direction is needed. more loose with strokes, more artistic than rendering. anyways, HEY SIGN MY GUESTBOOK! or SEND ME COMMENTS.

8/12 finally got ELITE! after trying for a year, i have finally obtained the 'Elite Artist' title at gfxartist.com. over ~25,000 members, currently only 77 are Elite. Artists submit their artwork to be critique and rated, and each month artists with the highest ratings are nominated and voted for Elite Artist Position. To all my supporters, THANK YOU, without you, I would not have been able to succeed. there is no spoon.
8/07 feel free to send me comments with the formmail at the bottom of the screen. if you see any web layout problems, defintely let me know.

7/07 whoOhoO! vanity?
7/01 im nominated. cross my fingers. this is my 5th time since becoming a member to be up for Elite Artist. also got recognized/awarded at work by the big dog for some volunteer artwork i did (see 6/16) pretty flattering and unexpected. the work i have been doing is starting to finally produce harvest. still... miles to go before i sleep.
JULY 2004 Well it's a new month, the year is already half over. The past two months, I have improved noticeably in producing portraits. For a while I was producing a piece everyday. It seems to go in phases. Right now I am creating a 3d model, so the progress is relatively slow. I would like to thank to all those that follow my progress, as if I did not have any audience, I probably would have no motivation to continue. By the years end, I hope to get Elite Artist (if not this month), sell a portrait or two, and revamp the site to look more professional. Beyond that, continue to pratice and get better. Can you imagine what I will be able to do 5 years from now if I continue to practice? Better request pieces right now, cause in 5 years, Im going to have to charge beaucoup. ;) THANKS!
