A Nice Life
My efforts this year will include speaking up when I like something.
I've oft followed the phrase, if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything.
But I have also become guilty of not saying anything nice either, and I think that's not productive - just surrounding myself with a bubble of silence because it's safer, because then I can't be ( Read more... ) -
Be your own fan
Just read a nice little article on tumblr about writing your own characters and staying motivated.

Got my scanner fixed.
Thought I'd share some Saiyuki sketches. I was practicing drawing the ikkou (a few months ago), so of course I had the manga-books open in front of me.
