been working on this painting again, i hope it turns out good when i finish it, its been giving me a hard time. I seem to want a specific look with her..an expression, I'll get it soon i hope.
So ive gotten out of the habit of posting here... :(
I mentioned a few posts back, that I had started a blog on blogger ..and was double posting.. & That is where I'm posting these days.
i think I will now permanently move over there, and this will stay as a sort of archive. I might make a feed thingy for livejournal of my blog, that way it can stay in your friends page feed. But I'll do that later if i do, and if you wanted to comment on something it would be cool if you made the few clicks to my blog so i can have pleasure of reading what you have to say :)
anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I HAVE been updating just not on lj so much.
blogger seems more official for it to be linked to from my website.
please come say hello at my new blog if you want, update your links, or stay tuned for the rss feed address.
Thanks for all the support & love, this isnt a good bye goodbye, :P I might come post in some of the many lj communities i used to like posting in.. like I said, I just wanted to let you know that Ive been updating my blog on blogger instead.

here's a peak at what I'm currently working on.
Just a small peak. Yesterday, since I'm working digitally, I lugged all my necessary things (17in. Laptop, drawing tablet, in giant backpack) to a local coffee shop called Lolas and worked & focused wonderfully! I like I there lots. Especially with good company :) |

Ive come up with some goals for the end of this week, probably by Friday.. (ive recently lost a bit of motivation.., its hard to keep working when i dont really have any deadlines. I just want to make lots of paintings). anyway, here's my goals:
WEEKLY RESOLUTIONS
*glaze/color octopus heart painting, as much as i can..
*sew/gesso/paint 3 doll heads, for upcoming new dolls..
*2+ watercolor drawings (some collaborations are being planned for some of these, more info later)
*& work on my current large oil painting for at least 4 hours
I think these are pretty reachable :)
I'll check in next Monday and see how it went. |

My "Discomfort With Finding Yourself" print was featured on etsy yesterday morning. I dont know how those features are set up, but it was really exciting, I came to find out through facebook! (because its connected with my etsy, so it did an automatic post) . Thanks Etsy. |

I couldn't paint yesterday during the day, running errands and driving to different cities and helping my mom. I actually came home, and felt pretty bummed out that I hadn't done any art all day. So i made a little watercolor doodle. this is from a reference photo i used, from a maxim magazine.
 I think I will make more of these watercolors. I will also make print versions of them.. the print will be different from the original. Both will be available in my shop! |

real title will come later, if I can think of what it is.
this is more of the under painting, just black and white, I'm really happy with the level of detail im seeming to be achieving.. after i finish this part im gonna do the coloring.
It feels like i have a lot of these paintings, in this phase of waiting to be colored.. But I know that I will finish them and add color.. cus I have to!! ha ha :) |
