New Years Eve

 The future belongs to those who change it.

Reflections

On a personal level, this year has been good to me. I got to travel to places I’ve never been before, I got to see my sister on the West Coast, and I’ve managed to improve my art.

I know I mention Amazon’s The Man in the High Castle in every single post, but I want to give the creative minds behind it, the actors and actresses, and all of the people who work on the show credit. Without them, I’d have never branched out into unknown and untested artistic waters.

I’d have never met some wonderful people whom I now consider friends.

I’d have never gotten into making black and white photo aesthetics.

So thank you.

Thank you a million times over!

A few highlights from 2017:

What will 2018 bring?

I know it will bring more travel (I have an awesome job!), more artistic endeavors, and new experiences (that goes without saying).

My goal for 2018 is to finally—once and for all—to crack out of my shy Internet-self shell! I’m not a Marvel character with a quick, witty quip for every occasion. I’m not the most hyper active conversationalist, especially on the fast-paced platform that is Twitter (home of High Castle happenings).

The challenge for me will be jumping into a conversation my way. In years past, I’ve tried to be that hot-shot comic book character with an instant, witty answer for everything, but it never worked for me because I either thought of nothing or posted something bizarre. [ lol ]

So here’s to 2018 cracking my shell and figuring out how to dive in!

My other 2018 goals are
1. Taking my art to new levels
2. Getting my novel, Sisters, polished and ready to publish
3. Creating more black and white photo aesthetics

New Layout!

I was satisfied with the old one…but only for a few days. The more I thought about it, the more it ate at me, so I finally changed things up and made a new banner.

This layout is here to stay! It’s simple and basic; one can’t go wrong with that!

I’m working on another doll costume and will upload it to Needles and Pins once I’m finished (I’m waiting for the doll to come in). The costume is ready, and I’m proud of it! Finding a suitable doll was tough and took some time since Barbie smiles more broadly than a Walmart happy face sticker!

I will upload my latest Alfred Bester drawing in the gallery momentarily. I am thrilled with my latest piece of him. I used a combination of my style (which tends to be cartoonish) and realism.
