There will be new content!
I now own a scanner that works with Linux. Or, more importantly, after a 2 hour struggle, I beat both the scanner and Linux into submission and I can finally begin scanning in some of my incredibly old ieces of art so you can see (if at all) how much I have blossomed into a more powerful and, well, lets face it. I know how to draw boobies better, if nothing else. This also means that when I do do new pieces, like I have been, I can finally scan them in as opposed to hoping a photo will work.

So, to sum up, you will be seeing a lot less pictures of me, friends, family, pets, and places on here and a lot more art work which is what this site was meant for, if I recall correctly.

Thank you, Pat!

New Content Indeed!!
Need to do a major overhaul on this website. I don't like how I have things labeled or the folders that things are in and I think this weekend I'm going to kick this scanner into working order (even if I have to use my other computer to do it with and shift things back and forth) and get some of my older pieces and even some of my newer pieces up. I think I'm going to start tonight and just work through most of the weekend, taking a break mostly for the pillow fight and cleaning house a bit.

Expect this thing to be working more ship-shape eventually. And hopefully I will get my butt in gear and finish editing my story so I can start getting it out there for people to read. Hopefully before the next NaNoWriMo. I hope.

Back from Hiatus
The novel writing went really well and I'm hoping to work on a few parts and pieces to place up on the site at some point. Things such as illustrations for the novel (which I probably wont put in the novel but it would be really fun to do them anyway) the cover art and all sorts of things like that. There are lots of sections of the novel that I would love to put excerpts up of as well. For now, though, just know that I'm slowly working on editing and will, eventually, self publish. Hey, wouldn't it be fun to try and market off my book next year at Genericon? Maybe I will think about that.

Anywho, I'm back and I have tons of art I'm working on and even more that I still need to scan in and put up on here. So, with any luck, you will be seeing more here in the near future.

Hiatus!
And this is the last of my sites that I need to update on this information. And as much as it would be easier to just copy and paste what I've written to my other forums and journals and blogs, I think I will just give a brief summary.

I'm taking a hiatus. I'm not sure how long of one, but a month in very least. You see, I joined NaNoWriMo and so this month, at the very least, I'm going to be typing my socks off to the beat of a different drum.

In general, though, I've been feeling more creative lately and so I'm going to nourish that instead of impeede it by sitting on the computer wasting my days away. This means that this hiatus might last longer than just through November, but I will try and give an update once a week, at the least, with my latest creations and to check in to make sure it is not direly important that I be somewhere. I have a few paintings in progress and I shall update here when I get the chance, but it will all be art work and, possibly, my NaNoWriMo if I finish it.

See you all in December! Maybe!

Commission Works and Purchasing of Old Pieces
I am more than happy to offer both my skills to do works directly for any interested party or to even sell pieces I've already done. No reasonable offer will be ignored! I would also be more than happy to do art trades.

If there is anything you would like, or maybe you would just like to see me try my hand at a piece you have been interested in seeing, or if you want to purchase something from me, you can always just get ahold of me in various different ways in order to, well, place your order. When I have the time, although seldom as that is, I am more than happy to do what I can! So please, don't be shy, just ask away!

You can contact me through various venues. The best would probably be through my email address as that is something I check incredibly regularly.

Have special photo requests of me, my home, my friends, my life? Just ask! You never lose anything from asking and never gain anything by keeping quiet.

Hopefully tonight I shall be able to update some more photos and varous pictures onto the site. Please be patient as work has been taking up a lot of my time as well as various faires.

Photos
Slowly I am placing photos in the photo sections and I'm coming across some snags in placing them as well as a few movies I'm trying to place, so putting anything on recently has been rather slow going. I basically have most of the renaissance faire pictures up on the site that were taken this past Sunday. I would like to place a few more up as well, though right now I'm going to try and work on whether I can place written .doc files up on here as well. Everything will need to be seperately placed, I guess, but I'm going to see what I can do.

If there are any desires of what people want to see up here sooner than later, give me a shout out! If you don't know how to get ahold of me, you can just email me.

Update
Slow going progress, but eventually I will get the image I have all stored on my computer onto the site. I'm about 1/3 of the way finished as it is. Once that is finished, I will have to begin sorting through my various other pieces, perhaps even go out and buy myself a cheap scanner in order to properly record many of the other pieces. If there are people out there viewing this site and I have drawn something for you and given it to you, if you could be so kind as to photograph it or scan it and send the image to me, I would be most grateful.

In journeying this this system, I found I can place files other than photos on here, so I will shortly make a section for novela and for poetry. I have two movies, so I may place them up, but I fear they are too big. It is nothing more than me spinning my  sculpture so that the entire 3-D of it can be seen.

That is my update for now. I will play more tomorrow, I'm sure, and let you know how things go from there.

And here I am!
I'm back, which delights me. And many million thanks to Pat for making me a happy site again! It's been forever! I hope to use this for many and various different purposes. Both for my artwork and self portraits which will be in the form of photos and drawing. There will also be poetry and stories when I can get around to it. Oh happy day! For anyone who is happy about me having a new site, give many thanks to Pat who is the greatest and awesomest!

YAY PAT!  You are a pirate after my own heart. *grins*

Look at me! I'm a vet tech! All of these photos were taken at various points during my college life and a few were taken at the place of employ. Either way, they all just show me in my field.

Danny had asked me to pose in my faire garb in Times Square one frozen evening in February for an art project he was doing. How could I not oblige?! Here are all the photos from the shoot.
