The melting snowman has become my new symbol for some reason.

Arts!

First, the artsy doodly things, in case that's all you read my journal for. This way you can skip the rest. :D

( huge images inside. )

School.

Omigod. I left lala land behind and entered crush-your-bones-with-a-toothpick land.

I know. My metaphors suck. But they make sense in my head and that's all that counts.

For some reason, I feel completely overloaded this quarter. I'm taking the same number of classes as usual, but every class feels so heavy, so full of projects I need to have done now... It feels like I barely have time to learn anything before POOF! I'm expected to perform it, do it well, and be out of the class. Next week is registration for summer classes already! I'm almost halfway through this freakin' quarter.

Sadly, my personal projects have taken a nose-dive. Whatever time I had before, it has become effectively squashed like a bug under the tire of a two-ton semi. I apologize if you have commissions pending -- if we set a deadline, I will most certainly have them done before the deadline! If not, please e-mail me so we can talk about a deadline, because otherwise I'm just going to keep back-burnering everything in lieu of pesky things like sleep and food. <<

On the plus side, I'm loving this quarter with the exception of one class. I've always loved to be overwhelmed for some reason (it's a personal flaw or something? I dunno), so now that I have so many project my head is spinning, I can be happy.

Ugh, I'm so weird.


Journal-ness.

In light of being more open, I'm going to start posting more public entries -- especially where art is concerned. This means that if you wanted to see my art before but couldn't, now you can. I don't know why. I just feel like friends-only-ing everything really defeats the purpose of an online journal somehow.

That and I feel bad, because I haven't kept up with most of my friends' journals on this thing. Sorry guys. ;_; I don't even have time for myself these days.




... I think that's all I can write, because my brain has gone numb. :D

I remember a time when this was all I had to do.. >> sigh.

Wee... I like, sped through this to get one up today. >>

Look! An update!

Okay, it's been forever and a day. I just got through my second week of school, my body is starting to get used to four 17-hour days in a row, and I actually had a couple spare hours today to slap something together. This is only because I'm working overtime and can't work on my 18 x 24" charcoal messy homework. I think they'd get mad at that. Although they didn't seem to mind when I was working on my clay sculpture up here... >>

Anywho! Hopefully I can tear out one strip a week. I'm not trying for anything more right now, since my schedule is already about to kill me.

long overdue. x_x. I got caught up in... um... procrastinating. Yeah.

Just for the record, it's nowhere near Roland's b-day, and if I posted it near his b-day he would probably glare at me. >.>

Happy b-day, Josh.

Chapter 200 -- Rules of Conduct, policy number 200.02.

"... Avoid knocking your knees against the console or equipment and protect your fingers and hands from becoming pinched between the chair and console."

The same policy also advises: "Avoid 'free falling' into the chair when sitting down and do not lean too far backwards."

Pirates! >>

... I blame them for things now. Like this late comic. Or the lack of comicky goodness for the last week.



Hopefully I'll have a new WA page up today or tomorrow.

And then... back to pirates! >>

mel and gal, part two. >>

Confusingly, Mel (the girl) was Roland's character, and Gal (the guy) was mine. ~.~

( WA, page 5.15 -- master and slave )

Aaaand if you're into tutorials, go to mutedfaith -- I started a tutorial process where you get to choose what I do next. >>

... >>

.. Contrary to Roland's belief, I'm not abusive all the time. >>

See, it wasn't even me in this strip. <<

Because once again I don't expect to be around tonight, or until late tomorrow.

Squee!

That is all. >>

because I shan't be on tonight to post it. :P

wish me luck tomorrow!
