As some of you may know, I entered a drawing contest sponsered by the school and the public library. It's a "We love to read" bookmark contest. Well, after entering the same contest every year since 6th grade, I finally won the stupid thing. Hooray! So during my 3rd period class, the principle came in with some city council people and the school's librarian and they congratulated me, gave me some balloons and a copy of the book that the contest chose to sponser this year, showed off my bookmark to the class, gave a short motivational speach on reading good books, took my picture, and left. My entry was my picture, Native Spirits. shells124.deviantart.com/art/N…
The funny thing is that I had heard that the contest's sponsered book was about native Americans, which is why I came up with this particular design. The book they handed me was a book about a native American who entered the civil war. Not exactly what I was expectling, but, hey! I still won. It doesn't matter.
Oh, and just FYI, I'm having scanner difficulties which accounts for my lack of recent pictures. My parents moved the one computer that I can use that hooks up to the scanner to a location that it is not impossible to hook up to the scanner. I am currently trying to remedy this situation, and hopefully I can get back to posting pictures soon.

Going on a Mission
Hey, everyone. I thought I'd give you all an update before I disappear off the face of the planet. I'm going to be serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I will not be able to paint anything while I am out there, though I will have a sketchbook with me. I also won't have access to a computer. So don't expect any updates from me until I return. I'm leaving on June 17th 2013 and will return somewhere around mid December 2014, and most likely won't resume my activities on deviantart until January 2015. So don't be sad that there will be no new paintings until then, and don't be sad if I don't respond to any of you
Frustrated
Alright, I really don't like ranting about things usually, but I really need to just vent for a second. The good thing is that I know that not many of you (if any at all) will even see this journal (if past experience is anything to go by.) So I am feeling rather frustrated at my own apparent lack of skill. This is probably something that any artist goes through at some point in their life, but it's more than that. See, I have many people who see my drawings or paintings and express how wonderful of an artist I am. And yet how many paintings have I sold? None. How many views do I get regularly? A few. If any. It's sad when my greatest achieve
stupid journals.
The more I try to update journals, the more I realize I have not a lot to say, but the journal still needs updating and so I update.
I am a college student studying studio art. My DA gallery goes back from when I was in seventh grade, so don't judge my earlier works too harshly. I'm still improving, but I find that my best works are my painted landscapes. That being said, I love to draw fantasy and am doing a lot of fantasy work on the side. I ocassionally do fanart, though I prefer to do my own original works. I also have a few comics up like FableTales and am currently working on a larger comic that will most likely not be posted any time
ummm
So, it's about that time again where I find that I haven't updated my journal in almost a year, so it's horribly outdated and needs to be replaced. Update Time! :D
Well, so as some of you know, I'm out of school until next January. Normally, this would provide me with plenty of time for drawing and painting and such. And it has! ... It's just that I've been working on a project thingamajig that isn't really ready to post and won't be for a very, very long time. You may recall that I posted a superhero drawing. Well, I decided to turn it into a comic. I've been doing lots of character sketches and such, but none of it is really deviantart wor
