Nighttime thunderstorm playtime

First thunderstorm at my new apartment.

I felt like taking some dumb pictures.

Thanks to Hillary Johnson, 

who contacted me via deviantart.com, my photography has been featured on the cover of her novel "Physical Culture". 

I am so proud to be given an opportunity like this. Words can not describe how happy I am. I never thought I would get this far at this age. I'm so happy she liked my picture "no grip" which is now the cover! I hope I can continue to be apart of her website. I can't thank her enough.

Hillary runs an independent printing company dymaxicon and her novel is now up on her site for pre-order here.

Please support her and her company by purchasing a copy of her amazing book!

Here is a sneak preview of the layout. 

Bullet shells.

Well today I went off to the rifle range with one of my friends.

We were on a quest to find some gnarly used bullet shells.

Bullet shells you might ask?

Well when I was browsing tumblr the other day,

 I came across necklaces that used bullet shells. 

These  are the fantastic necklaces I wish to make. 

Our bullet shell quest probed fruitful.

I can't wait to acquire some nice gems and crystals to fill these bad boys with 

If anyone knows a good place to get a lot of gems or crystals for a good price, please let me know!

Stick with it

The other day I was feeling a bit down.

I felt as tho my artwork was nothing.

I thought that being a fine arts major was going to do nothing for me in the future.

I felt like I needed to do something like Social work, or Psychology so make it in life.

But I hated those things, they are not interesting to me.

So I sat down and decided to draw...

I was forcing it, I wanted to make something awesome but I only became frustrated. 

I got angry at myself cause the picture looked like shit. 

So I gave up and walked away feeling even worse. 

I got up into my room and sat down and an idea came to me.

But after what had just happened I was reluctant but I began a piece anyhow.

I spent a good time drawing it and it looked awesome, 

So I thought I should start painting and during that process I got really .. flustered.

I didn't wanna mess it up.

So I stopped and I have been working on it every night for 3 nights..

and this is the result...

I was pleased with myself,

and I no longer feel like I suck.

I just hope I can find that place in the future for me. 

<3

I'm going to stick my thumbs into your eye sockets..

Meh, I most likely will not do such a thing. U

nless you wanted me to cause in that case I'd take pictures of it. 

That is the only logical thing to do.

I did in fact take new photos of my newest model, Leeann.

They came out amazing, I have no issues with them what-so-ever. 

I did a little bit of gore,

a little bit of nasty,

some creepy dolls,

and a weird little beach filled with drift wood..

I feel like these were a good accomplishment. 

feedback is always appreciated :]

So far so good.

I only have tonight to finish the book! 

I have 10 pages to do and I am sending it back tomorrow! 

eek.
