They build buildings so tall these days
Bit of an art update~ Just some the products of a couple classes and one of my own little doodles. When I get around to photographing some stuff (and get a sunny day around here @A@;) I'll get some of the stuff in my notebooks and news pad, as well as the stuff from drawing class.
As a future note- this will probably be more active then my DA and Y for a little while, just because it allows me to post more of my rough things and organize things in a way that makes sense to me, and also it's faster >w> I'm sure I'll update there too eventually though.

Wow, where to start?
So this is college, I can see how one could complain about a busy schedule. I'm sure everyone reading this has either A. been there, B. can imagine, or C. doesn’t care, so I'll spare you the bitching bits.
I love this school, first of all. I honestly do. Some teachers are better then others as always, I've met kids whom I find detestable and I've found others I respect and admire. More so the 2nd then the first by a long shot. Anyone who’s taken an art course in college- especially for a technology oriented kid like me (who really wants nothing to do with art in the 'art' sense when they go into the workplace) there is a lot of 'butthurt' involved in the college Drawing class.
Let me explain.
If you know someone like this, or are someone like this; my heart goes out to you. Be strong.
I'm not sure what my grades are so far honestly. Part of me is insanely curious, part of me doesn’t want to know. But anyways, that’s school- lets move on from school now.
PAINTCHAT. WHERE ART THOU?! I've not been able to caress your sweet cheek in a decade it seems. If you're one of my homies at Nikos, I'm so sorry my friends, but I won't be seeing you for a while more. To Dee and Pepper and Liz and all those groovy folks in the RP rooms whom I was just really starting to warm up to- an especially large sorry goes out to you- I was really looking forward to doing some nifty BGs, but it seems that this just isn't going to let up :C
Y-Gallery and DA You're going to get updated at intervals. I always check you, every day even, I just never get the time to sort out what I do and what I don't want to submit. A lot of the stuff I've done lately in the non-abstract variety is either schoolwork or RP orientated things with someone who I consider very special to me. Not only do I not want to bore you all with my fangirling, but it's also a little private just on the nature of who and what it was created for- so I'm afraid I won't be posting much, if any of that. Anywhere.
To My Mom who, thank god, will not be reading this. Thank you for not freaking out when I confessed to joining the gay alliance, maybe I haven’t told you I'm gay yet, but at least that’s one step closer to allowing myself to be completely honest with you- something I've missed being able to do for a while. Also thank you for finally seeing how much going to England means to me, and ending of your threats to disown me if I did go. Maybe it took getting a couple jobs, begging for half a year and opening up my own bank account to do it, but that vote of confidence when you said 'better bring cold weather clothes' is something else I've been waiting to hear. It was also really nice to hear your voice today.
Now that that’s all out of the way, I won't have to do so much typing with any of the next journal updates. This is my current life, caught up and squished into a little LJ-cut. Now here is the arts. Moar coming later I promise.
Bath
Just xig and lux chillin’ in the bath, a little something from rp and a quickly done in paintchat for the first time in a month or so.
Pride and Prejudice
Done for INM, my favorite novel- redone in paintchat over the course of 8 or so hours- thought it could still use some polish (I ran out of time) to demonstrate the fact I can add text to things.
Past and Present
Teen Lux and Adult Lux (Posh Sommerset teacher version) in a project combining scanning, photoshop art, photography, and internet-found textures. It's eye-searing contrast I know- but it was made to be printed and it looks fine on paper I swear *A*;;
His Affects
The belongings of one man's beloved.

Let me explain.
- Butthurt noun, Butt-hurt
- A stinging sensation originating from the hind-quarters caused by a deep and sudden blow to one's ego
- The 'we're not in Kansas anymore, Toto' feeling you get when you realize that this is not your high school art class and there are people here who can actually draw, and in all actuality, draw much better then you.
- The feeling you get when you receive the first grade below an A on an art assignment in the past 4 years
