Sickly

I have been through hell and back with this damn cold. I have gotten nothing done for school or for play and on both occasions I find it more than annoying. I have not been sleeping or drawing or playing or anything lately. It's quite depressing. To be honest I have no idea where all my time has gone. All I know is that it is not going towards making pretty things or doing school work. I skipped classes within the past week. I thought I would go to he gym every day but that is a failure and a half since coughing up phlegm and running are a totally perfect combination I promise.

I'm submitting a lot of my pieces to different clubs on DA and that's not working out entirely well but it's the idea that counts. I'm also working on making myself the perfect layout for Gaia and that is not working out very well either. Like I said, with no motivation to do anything but sleep... I'm on a ball for letting shit hit the fan... Although, Thankfully, my doctor called in a prescription today :)

My Begginings and Towards the Future

I started with playing on neopets. And working on stupid guild layouts. And that's how I got into the whole photo-manipulation and putting one image over another concept. From that I started a website called Graphix Nightmare and that lasted give or take 3 years and turned into Wonderland Effect.

Durring that whole spiel I began to adore Vector Art. Those big fancy wallpapers that have little silhouetted islands on them with like swirls and things. And from that I read several tutorials on how to make said vector art. It has only recently been that I have taken the same ideas and applied them to drawings instead of photographs.

When My parents had begun the whole college search with me I had no idea what I wanted to do. It was everything from a Play therapist in a hospital to a Historian. But None of those Ideas worked, It wasn't really until my grandmother had told me that I should be a graphic designer that I had any intention of doing that.

From that I chose a liberal arts school and declared graphic design as my major. It wasn't until this year that I had any formal art classes. And I am planning on taking more.

Although I had wished that I had started art classes in school and that maybe looking back I should have gone to an art school. I still have chosen to make this my career, and seeing every part of the field makes me happy.

Fuitalicious.

So I am going to enter a fruit Contest for one of the clubs I am in. I'm not entirely sure which fruit I am going to use. I'm thinking either strawberries or bananas. I really want to try this. I hope that I at least get given a chance to be on the poll to win! Wish me Luck!
