Thank you everyone for the kind comments and favorites.

I read everything and it's a good mood enhancement.

BONUS
As of today, I am offering harsh, horrible critiques to anyone who asks. Note me if interested, and include a link as well as any kind of pointless rambling that you'd like me to know before I rip into your deviation. YUM!

Well it looks like New York was a lot bigger than I was expecting. Too big for the internet, anyway...Every day I would come home exhausted, and my weekends were always packed!

If you wanna ask me for stories, I can be reached at my AIM, which is Runik12. I am also setting up a nice Flickr stream for the 700 or so photos that I took.

What have I been up to ehhh? Well mostly puttering around the shop and keeping all the printers happy. But get this! I got to do a full intaglio edition of a drawing! Super awesome! It doesn't get the ULAE chop or anything that would make it particularly valuable, but I am going to treasure these tiny prints and give them to a couple of special people and sell a few.


On trades and stuff:

~fongmingyun, my half of your art trade got folded over by some dumb UPS person in the mail. YEAH. A cold press art board, practically snapped in half. I intend to show it to you anyway but I am also making a new thingie for you because the old watercolor painting looks like craaaaap.

~lemurkat, I am expecting a certain tool for Christmas that will help me soooo much in making your art cards. Thank you for bearing with me. Not to brag but, everyone who's seen the dinky prototype I made has thought it was 'real.'

If YOU want a trade, don't do it, for the love of God, I will never ever get it done!! AHHH!

In one week, I'm leeeaving!

If you want to hang out with me, now would be an excellent time to make plans!

Just so everyone's clear as to what I'm going to be doing on the internet while in New York, here is the blog that I am going to update:

[link]

Put it in your bookmarks. There will be photos, sketches, and (if I can swing it) video posts.

You are welcome to comment there. I will write stuff worth commenting on, promise.

One month to:

Change the oil in the VW.
Receive my credit card so I can rent a car in Long Island.
Finish my tea-box.
Finish all of my projects at work.
List and angst over the stuff I'm taking/leaving behind.
Box the stuff that'll be left behind.
Deliver a handmade present to a friend.
Put a deposit on a place to live when I come back in the Spring.

Stuff will be turned blue as I get it done.

Stuff I've completed as of writing this list (Written here to make me feel like I'm getting somewhere):

Ordered my credit card.
Signed up for my online courses (Ethnic American Music, and...uh...Juvenile Deliquency).
Purchased plane tickets.
Contacted the kind people who will be paying for my stay.
Completed the previously-mentioned handmade present.
Adjusted my diet, exercise, and spending habits so that not only am I living less expensively, but I look and feel better too.
Nearly done with getting a better grade in Marketing.

I think I'm correct in assuming the real, full game is going to be completely wonderful. Right?


On another note, for my next uploads, I have a few projects that I'm bringing as close to perfection as possible before sharing:

-Tea Boxes
-Christmas Cards
-Animated PSA about bike-riding
-Playground comic pages

Please bear with me. The lack of an impending due date is really hampering my work ethic, and I've also got a full-time job. SOMETIME I will have some cool stuff to upload, I swear. It's looking really good so far!
