Woah, I've noticed a pretty big spike in faves/watches in the past day... is someone pimping me out or something?
Whether it's a person's doing or just a freaky happening, thank you all for digging my stuff! It's crazy, I don't know if I'll be able to thank you all personally, but I'm making my way through the inbox now, cheeks a blushin'.
Many hugs,

~Shanti

Hey hey, just wanted to say thank you! to those of you who've hit me up for commissions; It's really flattering that you guys want me to draw for you. Hugs and kisses for all :blowkiss:

I'll stop before this journal becomes one giant, glowering hurlbag of happiness. The point is, I've now got a nice balance of commission work on my shoulders to keep me busy for the next couple weeks, without things getting too heavy or competing with normal school work/routine. I won't be accepting any more requests for the time being, but I'll update again as soon as I'm done with the current ones.

Status List for the Time Being:
1.)Bluekillerdonkey
2.)Highsight
3.)Ronsostryder

(3 is a nice number. Not too complex, not too empty. just thought I'd lament on that.)

Until then, stay cool, peeps.

So as of today I am no longer 18; I found that out by opening an inbox exploding with facebook notifications -friends and folks all wishing me a happy birthday. This is the second year I've celebrated without family around, and since I was expecting a quiet repeat of last year, it shocked me to see how much care my roommates put into planning a celebration. They made me cupcakes, iced and served in spiderman cups, sang happy birthday so loud that the floors below and above our apartment could hear every word, and one even tailored me a beautiful dress! I am so thankful to be in touch with so many loving, caring individuals; I don't know how to ever repay them asides from spreading the good vibes around. Thank you friends, and thank you all out in cyberspace who follow my work :)

If you're wondering about the rest of the title, there is no bag of chips. However, I am considering opening commissions in the near future -you know, small pieces, sketches, watercolors or digital work - whatever the commissioner wants. I do have school to balance out, but undoubtably there will be moments during the week where I'll be sitting around the apartment thinking about how I can put time into good, creative use. Also, making a few bucks here and there for art supplies/food is always good, too. So if anyone's interested in commissioning me, just send me a note! I can provide samples, and negotiate prices with you, one on one. What would you like to see me make?

Also, I haven't forgotten about submitting work tonight; I'm just.. a little indecisive about what to post. You'll see.
Hugs and kisses for now! Until the next journal entry,

Augh. Sorry for not responding to anyone's comments in the past week or so; school has started off with a bang this year (and what a bang indeed! Already I'm knee deep in producing 3 illustrations per week plus an animation project and book report about the history of Baltimore's homeless community) and I've been working nonstop on projects ever since*. My poor drawing hand has already crumpled and smudged its way through a few illustrations, but some day I will reward it with a nice carpel tunnel-proof brace.
Anyway, just posting to let you know I will be making my way through the comments and notes you've all generously given to me, and apologies for keeping anyone hanging. I might even upload some school art for you guys within tonight or tomorrow ;)
Thanks for holding tight!

P.S.- Excuse the derpy title; a repressed flair of artistic angst decided to so cleverly reinvent the title of a song to fit these journal needs.

*may be exaggerating just a little.

I didn't even try to think up a catchy title for this. I'm that excited.

Sooo, 2 days ago my roommates and I moved into our new apartment (which is uncannily spacious, especially in the bathroom, haha! But that's another story...), and ever since then I've been completely stoked for classes. This year I finally get to fully immerse myself in the Illustration major, and finally get to take courses that pertain to my artistic interests.
So now, without further ado, I will share with you this semester's schedule:

Monday - Illustration 1, 4-10 pm
Tuesday - Stop-Motion Animation, 9 am-3 pm
Wednesday - Free Day
Thursday - Modernism and After, 1-3:45 pm & Wet Media Kitchen, 4-10 pm
Friday - Inking, 9 am-3pm

I'll also be attending Sequential Arts Club, Illustration Club (lol, since I've been dubbed secretary I better show up), and yoga courses in weds./friday afternoons.

(I'm not gonna lie, it's going to be hectic, especially towards the end of the week.... but even still, right now I feel like I can take on the world!)

Huzzah! Guys, guys, I'm sorry to rant about how happy I am, but today, I will be walking around campus positively BEAMING.
Hope you all (being artists in some way, shape or form) feel the same amount of passion for your work, and for those of you who're staring school/have started school recently, I wish you luck, good health, and as few all-nighters as possible this year :)

-Shanti
