What piece of art are you most proud of and why?
Honestly that is a toss up between many of my works. It depends on my mood and what I've done recently that makes me think of them. At the moment there are two that I can't decide between. This one was completed back in 2006. It was the first colored pencil drawing that I found successful, that was done outside my class. Yes there are things in the image that I will never be completely happy with, but overall, it was a big stepping stone for me.

The second image that I am most proud of is a life sized, full body, self portrait, shaded completely in ink and hand written text. I wish that I had a better image of it. I've not been able to hang it and get far enough away from it to take a proper picture. This project wasn't only a challenge in the amount of work and time I had to complete it in, it was also a challenge with getting the paper back and forth with me from home to campus, and the instructor wasn't an easy instructor to deal with. I both adored and hated having her class. Where with most teachers, I could sale through most of my assignments easily, this instructor had the nerve to tell me my work was nice but that I could do better and there for I received lower grades at first in her class. I still came out with an A- in her class, but wow she made me work for it.

If you could be any animal for a day, what would it be?
A service dog. Think about it. No boring day at home. people out there look and don't touch... normally and there is still potential for being social.
Favorite food?
Strawberry rhubarb pie with a chocolate crust and either whipped cream or ice cream. All other pies or cobblers I have trouble eating. I don't like cooked fruit. I like it fresh or minced in bread. Strawberys and rhubarb are the exception that I only discovered two years ago.
Best childhood memory?
The horses. Yeah yeah yeah. If you know me or follow me on other sites you should know that I'm a little horse crazy. It's been 3 years since I've been able to ride because of a lack of access to them. My days in the country have been traded for days of relying on the bus for transportation and there is no bus rout that takes me to the barns. I started riding when I was 8 so the horses have been a large part of my life. Right now the memory that is my favorite is dressing a pony, named TJ Teddy Boy, up for a costume contest at the local fair.
The movie Men In Black had just come out to theaters and I was an instant 13 year old alien fan girl. Our costume made up of a mix of cloths and halter from the showman ship class right before costume. (For the record 5 minutes is barely enough time for a tack and clothing change. Thank you mom for dressing Teddy. I almost didn't make it back in the show ring.) The white shirt and tie were my dad's. The jacket was purchased from good will and navy blue instead of black. and everything else was made out of things I'd found at the dollar store. Teddy was so good to stand for those giant sun glasses.
We'd entered the ring on the last call for my back number. There were all sorts of pony costumes that were a lot cutter than mine and that didn't contain parts made out of black trash bag materials. The audience was something else. To start off when I entered the ring I heard one lady ask her son, "What are they? Are they the FBI? Are they X-files?"
To witch she promptly got an answer. "No They're MIB. They're Men In Black!"
"Look she's even got the blinky thingy!" That little camp flashlight with a red lens was a wonderful investment.
Ok. So that was a good start. I had recognition. Well. Recognition with most of the crowd. It had seemed that my mothers best friend wasn't completely up with the extraterrestrial cinema times as she asked my parents questions. "So what's that thing She has strapped to the pony's back?"
My mom answered. "It's an alien."
"Yeah but what is it?"
My dad answered. "It's an Alien."
"Yeah but what is it?"
My mom and my dad.... Answered. "It's An Alien!"
Am I really that much of a dork?
... Probably shouldn't answer that....
Anyways, we were called to the center of the ring for final inspection and to await the final decision. Teddy, having been in and out of classes for most of the morning stomped for the first time in impatients, but that was to be expected. He'd had a busy day. Other than that, He stood quietly.
oh yeah. And we'd gotten first place. I think it was the comments from the crowd that had sold it.
Something new you learned in 2010?
Sales manipulation. For part of the 2010 year, I found work in small business marketing company. Part of my job was being a graphic designer for the businesses clients. The other part of the job was being a sales men and talking to different businesses to sell our products. There are so many things that I'm catching in different sales speeches, and commercials that I've learned from my time in the marketing job.
