The Meaning of Life!

I figured you guys would be interested in what I have to say…Okay so I don’t really think anyone cares about what I have to say. If I was Achmed the Dead Terrorist, then people might care about what I have to say, but I’m not so they don’t.

For those of you who don’t care, but have stuck around thus far simply because you can’t look away, great. You all get to read my inane ramblings. Isn’t that great? c:

So I thought that since I never use my journal (seriously I don’t…like…EVER) I would try to get in the habit of at least bringing you guys into the loop at least once a month.  So wish me luck with that and remind me if I seem to forget.  And I’m going to try to be neat and organized about it, separating my silly ramblings from my business ramblings from my miscellaneous ramblings…or something like that. And if that didn’t make any sense, just read on. You’ll probably figure it out.

In the DA World:
As you can probably tell, the majority of my art was done in recent months. I plan on uploading some of my earlier work sometime in September after I replace my computer. I also plan on uploading some of my larger works and more…3-Dimensional works around then as well. Hopefully I’ll be able to keep to that schedule (depends on how long it takes for my sister to agree with me on what type of computer we want). I’m also working on a webcomic over at (you can also find it on smackjeeves) so please, please, please check that out when you have time.

In Life:
Just finished an art gallery and portfolio class at CMU (Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh) and finished one 2x4 ft. and two 8x10 in. paintings. My sister already claimed the 2x4 for her next apartment and, provided none of my immediate family or friends show any interest in the other two, I plan on selling them on my website. I also go back to school on the 27 of this month (in ten days) so I probably won’t be uploading art as frequently.

In Commissions:
Commissions are open to anyone interested. Keep in mind that the price depends on how expensive the piece is, the difficulty of the piece, and the time it takes to complete the piece. I don’t frame, back, etc. my work unless it’s specifically requested (it may also cost a bit extra depending on what needs to be done). I also don’t cover shipping costs. So…I guess that factors in to the total cost as well. The good news is that I do try to keep my prices relatively low. I know what it’s like to not be able to afford something.

In Art:
As many of you already know, back in the spring I won a competition and now have a piece on display at the Holocaust Centre in Pittsburgh (Squirrel Hill). The topic/theme of the piece is “Children of the Holocaust” and it’s a painting of a young boy whose hands were sculpted to come off the page to cling to wires that span the length of the canvas. I’ll post a picture of it once I get my new computer.

In Gifts/Requests:
Art trades are open. Requests are open. And…I don’t think I have anyone waiting for gift art at the moment. The number of art trades I will take are completely unlimited. However, I will only take 10 requests at a time. You can find the number of open slots for requests at the top of my description under my DeviantArt ID.

In Everything Else:
Saw G.I. Joe the other day and I must say I TOTALLY APPROVE. Although I do think they could have crammed a little less into it and limited the amount craziness and flashbacks a tad. The insane number of flashbacks made it slightly hard to follow, but other than those little things it was totally worth it.
Also, am I the only person my age who wants to see Ponyo and The Princess and the Frog?


AND……………………I think that’s it. Thanks for putting up with me guys c:
I <3 you all!
Achmed the Dead Terrorist is from a Jeff Dunham skit. If you don’t know who Jeff Dunham is you need to Google him now.
