Hello there my deviant buddies <3 I know, I've been gone for months, and I haven't been active for more than a year. The truth is, I really am SUPER busy. But artistically, my life has been FABULOUS.

I just finished my AP Studio Art portfolio for Drawing and Painting (Last year I did 2-D Design and got a perfect 5 on the exam ;D). It went by great; I'll be posting pieces from it soon.

I just had my seventh art show at the San Leandro Art Gallery earlier this month, and I'm preparing for another one this summer. Seven out-of-school art shows for a 17 year old, that's good right? Haha.

As for college, this fall I will be attending a private, four-year art university: THE CALIFORNIA COLLEGE OF THE ARTS It's a dream come true. I received a $40,000 Merit Scholarship from the school along with many other scholarships totalling $57,258 so far. I'm excited for my life ! The school is very prestigious and I'm SO happy I get to be a part of that.

I'm doing commissions on the side to make some extra money. To be honest, LOTS of money +_+ I'd post some information on that, but I already have a full to-do list :3 Maybe next time~

Life is wonderful Whoever says art can't get you anywhere is an idiot. I hate to say it, but...FOLLOW YOUR HEART :3
