OMG I SUCK.

hahahahahaha haiiii everyone. how ya been? ^___^;;;

okay so I know I haven't been too active here, but as always I update my blog a lot more which you can find here at 15 Tangerines!!!

OH AND COOL THING IS THIS AND IT EXISTS NOW~!

not much is up yet, but it's a miracle I even got as much done as I did.


umm...update on last entry...well my omi's doing much better, she's tough and not even a broken leg is slowing her down, she's already walking pretty well with a cane and stuff. I'm very happy about that. OH WAIT I didn't say that here yet, did I? yeah, well the story goes that my art gallery opening didn't go so well, and my grandma broke her femur on the entranceway. it was a crazy night, but a memorable first show experience. but she's tough and will be all right.


what else to say? school is going well. I have only two 'studio' classes, but my lecture classes are absolutely fascinating so I don't mind. My one illustration class with the great Donato Giancola are AMAZING, he is such an inspiring teacher and genuinely great person! I can't fully express how awesome it is to take a class with someone you've admired for so long and that he's just everything you thought he'd be and more. it's just...very awesome. lol XDD;;

hmm...thesis preparation is coming along, we're almost ready to start drawing the actual comic, but I still have to finalize thumbnails and charrie designs, etc. It's going to be a very...f*ed up tale about the Persephone and Hades story, and that's the only way I can really describe it. It's like a psycho-thriller type thing. And that's all I'm giving away for now! lol


I have like...a lot of stuff I need to scan in. It's just that I don't have enough time in my schedule where it works out that I can get to a large format scanner. but good works will be on the horizon, so please stay tuned!


All in all, I just want to say thank you to everyone for sticking with me through all my bouts of becoming invisible around here. It really means a lot to me to read all the inspiring comments and see that so many people still like my work, even when I have the urge to just hit 'delete, delete!!' on everything. lol



Love you all, I look forward to the future here!
