[lay.in.rest - broken.souls]

Well this is my deviantART page and I welcome you to it.
Information about me and my art can be found below as well as my journal. Take a look at my gallery which is currently under description construction [still...] or just stay and chat if you'd like. I am online most times of the day and willing to help out people if they ask.





Well, as per usual I'm not too certain what I really should say. I haven't been very active lately, in both uploading work and commenting.

As all my watchers probably know I leave extensive in depth comments which take a lot of time and effort to write. So comments sometimes are a fairly rare thing from me, but remember I'm never ignoring all the wonderful art work everyone has been producing. I'll always look and take in everything that lands in my box.

I've been doing a lot of sewing, studding, and painting lately which is why I haven't been drawing an overly large amount. Also school is kind of draining, especially since I'm working on art all day. For the past couple weeks I've been designing a tattoo for a friend which has been the first thing I've drawn in a while.

I still have my Frakenlady, insane boot, and numerous other things to ink and colour it's really just been getting myself to want to do any of it. But look forward to some of the above mentioned things or anything else you know I'm working on.

Since the new galleries, I've decided I will probably be uploading much more than just my drawings as I have so much other stuff it's pathetic. The biggest issue for myself is just a comfort issue. I feel kind of uncomfortable uploading some things because of the quality of photographs or the lack of presentation, etc.

Since my last journal, I've just been going to shows, pushing my views personally a lot, becoming more in tune with some desires but moving away from others. For instance I've been feeling less and less inclined to want to go to college. I've felt no rush to get my resume up but I know I should, because a job is fairly nessicary if I am to go to post-secondary school.

As I said, I've been pushing my views, and this has been leading to greater lifestyle changes, or well not so much changes as much as different goals? I don't know the words to explain at the moment, but for those who are close to me they've probably noticed this. Also for anyone who knows about my hair, it's long, lush, and amazing, but it's been fucking annoying as fuck lately and I'm just caring for it less and less, so I'll be cutting most of it off fairly soon. [There are some conditions I must meet before I'm allowed to get my mohawk [get a job]]

I guess that's pretty much it, of course any questions or further inquiry is nice.

Peace






To start, I felt that I would open up and write a little about myself and my art. I really honestly don't expect most you or read all this but if you do, I really respect that. And you don't read this, I understand, and please don't worry about it.

I've been around for eighteen years now and with that I have seen and experienced a lot. You may disagree, doesn't really matter to me, I feel we all are knowledgeable about a lot more than we realize. My interests span a huge sector of things, nerd things, natural things, and creative things. Other interests usually lay on an emotional scale. Which basically sums me up - I am a very natural oriented artistic kind nerd.

Creative interests include all kinds of art, music, fashion, story making, animation, body modification, role playing, etc. I pretty much always been into creative things and some things I've explored in great depth. I feel as I will continue exploring areas until I feel content with them and then I'll probably move to learning more about another area. But there is no reason why one should ever stop exploring more within an artistic field. Drawing will always be something I continually explore, as with many other things.

I have been drawing all pretty much my entire existence, with some dry periods. I originally was into comic books due to my father being a very large avid collector, but as I grew my interest in comic books withered and I grew into anime. I've come to realize there was no reason why I needed to have separate interests from my father and grew back into comic books, then animation in general. Right now I'm pretty much just all over the place, I've feel I've kept elements from comic books, cartoons, anime, and manga all within my art.

I also enjoy photography, although I am not very educated within it. I just dabble and enjoy taking pictures sometimes, usually things fairly abstract or in nature. I am however educated within black and white photography, but I definitely would need more practice if I were to do anything large scale. I Love how much a picture can capture, how many memories can be held in a little polygonal shape. I would like to attain a Polariod camera as there is a large scale project I'd Love to tackle.

Within body modification, I enjoy majority of things. Minor modification and more extreme things. I personally have twelve piercings, and plan to continue getting more as time goes on, and I'd like to explore more modification for myself too. Currently I have, six helix [three per ear], four three [lost one at The Misfits/Balzac show] horizontal nipple [one left, two right], one vertical labret, and one navel for piercings. Something I Love about modification is one can mark their body for a very personal reason, something that is only that person’s.

I tend to be one of those people who dress out there a lot. I dress with how I feel at the moment, which changes all the time so I look different a lot. I Love taking something I wear and turning it into something new, I do this with just about everything. I enjoy taking safety pins, scissors, beads, lighters, patches, material, paint, or anything else to my clothes. I take things like beer caps to make into buttons and pop tabs to make into accessories or other things I can wear. I sometimes make clothes from scratch, but I'm a novice when it comes to sewing, so I really just need more practice.

Over the past while I've become more aware of how I spend my money and where it goes. So I tend to be cautious where I buy things. I normally just shop at thrift stores and small businesses due to the fact I know directly where my money is going. Many thrift stores in my town uses the money directly for things like the seniors or the hospital. I'm not saying every corporate company is evil, or uses the money it makes wrongly, and I do buy things sometimes from corporations. It's very hard trying to figure out where my money goes, and therefore I usually just stick with thrift and small businesses. For this reason I no longer personally buy from fast food franchises. I enjoy free things, and I’ll never stray away from using something off the street.

My beliefs have been developed from my heart, and life experiences. I believe in Love, and it tends to be the biggest part of my beliefs. From Love stems my beliefs in forgiveness, peace, nonviolence, learning, creativity, fairness, and so on. Love is what I look to for motivation, and what I appreciate in life. Although my beliefs tend to be looked at different from a lot of concrete Religions and ways of life, I have nothing against anyone’s beliefs. I really have nothing against people, I don't hate people, I find it quite hypocritical. With most things I do spawning from my beliefs I tend to be a very compassionate and caring person. Caring for people is something I like doing. I like helping people and I am open to anyone and everyone, their ideas, beliefs, and feelings.

I enjoy educating people in anything I'm knowledgeable in if they ask. So please feel free to ask me anything, about myself, my art, modification, anything.

Enjoy your stay.

Your going to cut your hair off?! I LOVE your hair... Funny, since I only ever see it in pictures. But that picture with the pink background and tiger stripe shirt... Damn.

Course, I'm being hypocritical--my hair, once at midback, is now just barely at midneck. :D

If you do put stuff up, I'm going to be happy. I want to see what always has you so busy, whether there's presentation or good pictures or not.

Anyway, take care. :hug:

Comment me on my writing and I'll comment on yours. :flirty:
:icongimpykitty:
wow. cutting your hair off. :] I think it will still look great, even if shorter.

I don't hang out with you, but I've noticed changes as well. Can't put my finger on anything in particular, but I have noticed.

:]

Hope you have a great day.

i don't mind that you aren't commenting. i don't do anything besides cartoons, so they don't really merit the beautiful long comments you give out. i think it's great that you're concentrating on school and yourself, because that's what's most important. i like your updates, but take as long as you need and just don't rush. art is about yourself anyway, so drawing just to update would sort of dash the meaning.

hope all goes well! XD

Well that's definitely a leopard print shirt =)
But yes, it's been a pain, but I do Love my hair. I'm just looking for a change, something different for a while, I'll probably end up with long hair again at some point.

haha, I used to have a buzz cut most my life, having long hair for the past few years was definitely catch up for lack of hair. Now I feel I'm fairly due to do something different, something in between.

Well, that makes me feel happy, thank-you.

I will, please take care too :hug:
:iconprotest-love:
Thank-you for the compliment =)

I'm glad, because I believe these things have been for the better.

You too my friend :aww:
:iconakatriple-t:
You! Cheer up! Heh I know it's not easy to do, but you're simply getting bored of a few things (from what I hear) Which, in my view, means you need more things. And if you want to show those pictures of the things you made, then don't worry about the quality of the picture, but the quality of the product.

Heh, I probably shoulda asked ya for tattoo designs since I got 2 of'em myself. ^^; But, it was before I got online again.

One more thing. I can't get on MSN right now because I moved out of my house, but I'll have it up and running shortly since the guy I'm staying with has MSN Mess. on his computer.

But, you better take care. I miss you man. Hope to speak to you tonight, if I get on. I'm sure we'll have a lot to talk about ^_^

Guess who's back...back again, Tabby's back. Tell a friend.
:iconkyouko-kun:
I saw it was last night when we talked. :lmao: I felt a bit stupid then.

I can understand that. I cut my hair, and I don't know if I'll ever go back--I love it short. I don't have to brush it anymore! But we'll see--I'm a very changable person.

Of course! :hug:

Your hair is very long. I can see how it's annoying. Perhaps change will bring some sunshine to your clouds. I wish it would give me some sunshine! School has just been a hassle lately, and the more I'm there, the less important everything is to me. I'm someone who cares about every little tihng, and I've been caring less and less each day...
