is offering a few $25 portrait slots at the moment to help pay for bills.

Check out 's gallery and journal for some awesome free stock textures Gorgeous, useful stuff.

I recommended ~jashawk's "steel robot" and it got the DD yesterday His gallery's full of cool paintings and awesome robots, so go check him out if you've got the time. The DD: [link]
(And it's always awsome to recommend stuff and share with people.)

Meanwhile, *sapphire-shadows is still open for commissions/selling things as well.

OFF devART: An indie pop band called The Bubbles has made the third round for the ACL Music Festival in Texas. One of the band members has been a long-time forum member over at AnothArtist (where I hang out a lot lol). Anyway, in this third round, they need a lot of online public votes, and you can vote once a day, every day. Give 'em a look at at their myspace (below), and if you think they're worthy, head on over to the ACL site (also below) and give 'em a vote Be sure to watch their incentive vids--they're a lot of fun.

Sharin' the love 'cause 1) I'm biased and 2) I love their stuff--reminds me of oldies music, but the sound is fresh and chill

Two weeks under me, yeah! School's been keeping me busier than I expected, though I think I'm settling quite well and finally getting used to my work schedule I have to plan and schedule just about everything though, so sadly art is only getting about an hour or two a week. For now I expect that to decrease, so it's just as well that I pushed my own comic deadline back. I'm excited to work on the pages whenever I can though; the comic is slowly starting to come together. (Agh! I want to post right away, but I must have patience!)
I've also re-taken up piano in the meantime. I've got lessons, and I practice daily. It takes a lotta time too, but it's worth cultivating that interest again

Anyway, that's why I've been so absent lately. Expect low activity for another while yet. I don't get another break until October, so I don't have a lot of time to check deviations and answer things. Bummer, but what can ya do? :/
Just give me a poke through notes or so and I'll get back to you if you need me.

Cheers~
