So I never seen to stop by here anymore.  Probably because I've focused most of my attention to my website ...link below.  But I thought I would stop by again and see how ol' deviant art is doing.  In addition to that, I added some of the advertisements and covers I've done at my job working at a magazine.  Just to give everyone a heads up on what I've been doing!  Haven't painted in a year :(  but I did do a freelance design recently for a winery...unpaid, but I really enjoyed doing it and it always looks good for my portfolio.  It was a little cartoon illustration for a tee shirt..did it completely in illustrator with the pen tool!  whoo ho

so.........i havent been around much lately.  doing the whole work thing.  the daily "grind" indeed.  but i have great news to share with the art community:  after one whole year of struggling, i recently was hired as a production artist at a local magazine.  i start next week.  no more mindless office work!  no more temp agencies!  and best of all, i found and got it all on my own. im so excited. finally i will have a job utilizing my degree in art.  couldnt ask for anything more. well, better pay. but that will come eventually :)

I believe we as human beings are born with certain special attributes.  characteristics sewn into the fabric of each and every one of our unique genetic make-up, insisting that we do particular activities in life.  Of course, the whole premise of human nature is based on the notion of free will, and we can ignore those incessant commands to use our built in talents if we choose to.  Everything comes down to choices. I have met several individuals who had dreams in life.  I say 'had,' because they gave up on those dreams, and settled in their lives, believing there was no turning back.  And for some of those people, maybe that is inevitably
