Hellooooo out there!








...OK, maybe I should elaborate: I know I've neglected y'all here on dA the last year or so, so hello!  Hey!    I'm in design school now and should have plenty of doodles to upload again.  For you to look at.  And buy.  Because I'm in college.  And poor.  Huzzah!

IT LIVES.

It's been busy and still in the throes of a massive art block, but... IT LIVES.

I've been thinking of selling off some of my old hard copies of artwork I've done over the years.  You know, just lineart and pencil stuff and junk.  I've moved into a small-ish apartment (or at least one with big rooms but seriously inadequate storage space) and I need to offload some of my old artwork!  I figure, instead of stuffing it into a folder for the next ten years, or just trashing it, maybe it'd be better kept by people who actually like it, yaknow?

Anyone interested?  Eh?  Eh?

Just curious-- does anybody else have the issue while thumbing through your DevWatch deviations, when you select all 24 on a page and delete all 24, it doesn't delete a damn one but instead boots you back to the message center?

I have two computers with two different operating systems and it does it on both.  It has reached the point where deleting them individually has become quicker.  :/

Is it just me, or is there such a learning curve that comes with learning to use tablets that just makes you feel dumb?

I've gotten so used to doing drawings with a mouse, my tablet doodles are comparatively horrible!  I used to sit there and drool over tablets on eBay thinking to myself, "If only I had one of those, I could do anything!"  Then you get one and no, it's not that easy.  Which is a serious blow to my fragile little artist's ego.  And that's not the worst of it.

With digital drawing, one might think that would take care of the sketch clutter piled up all over your desk and floor and... and house.  You know what I mean: all those light-lined half-scribbled doodles on a sheet of paper you decided you disliked but were too lazy to erase, so you flipped the paper over, scribbled a little more, then put it in a pile and pulled out a new, clean sheet.  But you can't bear to throw out those old things.  You've become your own collector.  I know I'm not the only one out there.

No.  The only difference is now your hard drive, once populated with only your best finished and scanned drawings, has also become a clusterfuck of semi-intelligible aesthetic chickenscratch.  No matter where I look now, floor or monitor, I'm simply constantly reminded of the dismal deficit of my attention span.  It's really disheartening.  And damn it, it's snowing again.
