Jem was right... it DOES burn.

Dave's all like...
You should make an artblog out of your livejournal.
And he's right. Though I don't know how... I thought you had to have a paid account to really be image heavy on here, or whatever, so advice?

Really, it would be more pleasant than listening to my occasional emo, which is really all that ever happens on here of late, as it is an Outlet which Most Of My Friends In This State... or Texas.. Do Not Read, In Fact, I Have No Idea Where Anyone Who Reads This Journal Is, So I Just Say Things.

On that note, for those not in the know, I have a boyfriend and he is also in my dept and also a former high school art teacher out west who fled here for greener, more fulfiling pastures. He's a little bit older, very driven, a very good inker especially, and our department head's pet.

As such, he is always getting random portfolio reviews and recommendations with important people. I, on the other hand, feel looked over a lot... and usually I'm kind of GLAD, since I'm so insecure anyway. So I am, in general, pretty okay with like, NOT getting this kind of attention, except when it is so often and so boldy brought to my attention that I am not getting this attention, and I am developing a very unfortunate jealousy of my sig. other.

And its not his fault, but whenever he tells me how well things are going for him in the dept and his leads on jobs and commissions I know I'm supposed to be supportive but mostly I feel like the lame younger sister who wishes she was half as cool.

I really should just turn this into an artblog.

And, from an objective point of view, (that is, not relative to my awesome sig. other here, artistically,) things are actually pretty fun and learningful for me right now, so I should be pleased with and proud of that, I know.

Ugh. Jealousy. (Doesn't it burn? Yes, Jem, yes it does, thank you.)

art, school, ink, insecurity, portfolio, work, ink all over me all the time, homework, nauseating fear, jealousy, dating, scad
