Graduation
I have had a nasty case of senioritis since my last post, and though I have gotten some awesome work done, I have been sleeping as much as possible and neglecting my blog.
However, my last classes are Wednesday, and then I am forever free of the shackles of school!
My art will be put into the A.T. Hun Art gallery this weekend after our senior illustration student exhibition. My art being put into a gallery permanently was my career goal in highschool, so now I have to come up with new goals… which will involve either painting traditionally or starting a successful freelance illustration. I’m taking the summer off and going to the ranch to clear my head and to lose the laziness. Mucking stalls all day sure does do the soul some good. Hehe.
I have been forced into productivity by my final classes, and here is my brand new shiny website and a lot of art that I never put up here on the blog.

Donuts
Last night a weight watchers commerical came on TV.
It had a donut in it.
I promptly stood up, walked to my car, drove to Kroger, bought a box of donuts, came home and ate three.
Take that, advertising!
Our Deepest Fear
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
-Marianne Williamson
Maybe most introverts have fear that they recognize, and extroverts have fears that they choose to ignore and forget. I’m reading this book called Art and Fear, and you know… i think at the root of all discontentment, restlessness, sadness… there is some sort of fear.
What are we all so afraid of?

Immune System Sketch
What If by Emilie Autumn
I know you’ve got it figured out
Tell me what I am all about
And I just might learn a thing or two
Hundred about you, maybe about you
I’m the end of your telescope
I don’t change just to suit your vision
‘Cause I am bound by a fraying rope
Around my hands, tied around my handsAnd you close your eyes when I say I’m breaking free
And put your hands over both your ears
Because you cannot stand to believe I’m not
The perfect girl you thought
Well what have I got to lose?And what if I’m a weeping willow?
Laughing tears upon my pillow?
What if I’m a socialite who wants to be alone?
What if I’m a toothless leopard?
What if I’m a sheepless shepherd?
What if I’m an angel without wings to take me home?You don’t know me
Never will, never will
I’m outside your picture frame
And the glass is breaking now
You can’t see me
Never will, never will
If you’re never gonna see.-What If, Emilie Autumn
