On Monday, Sean et I will have been together for threee yeeeaaaars.

It's not long, especially when you consider how fast the years fly, it feels a whole lot more like three weeks--but still, three is a good number and is well worth celebrating :]

In the mean time, I've been working on stuff for jury crit, which is nearing closer and closer and closer. I feel like I've only just dipped my feet into the possibilities of things I can accomplish in my studio practice, but I'm excited--and hopefully that comes off in the crit.
For those who are unfamiliar with the concept of Jury crit, it's when you put your work up in front of three instructors who then proceed to give you honest input/critique on the stuff you've displayed.
I'm actually pretty excited about it, while a lot of people seem nervous. I'm so used to receiving critique that it's really no fret to me unless they say something like, "YOU DON'T SEEM TO BE TAKING YOUR PRACTICE SRSLY"-but then, that's not so much input on my work, but rather a blow against my work ethic--and kind of stings in a personal way.
So I'm doing a lot of work for that. Speaking of which, I need to head down to my studio today and paint more beees.


enyways, hope you're all doing well! 8)

Cheers!

Currently working as a full time artist at a video game company, and finishing off her final two years of art school, Mandy is a busy, busy art making machine.
She can't wait for school to be over and things to slow down so that she may actually spend time on her personal work once again.

I'm glad you liked my Turu fanart.
And I'm gonna go post a journal now about the guy who's getting ripped off!
:iconkijonaia:
Ziros-Lover is right! Your art is so incredibly inspirational! Such an original concept! Tu has such a saddening story and some of the pictures you draw; the accompanying poems or text sometimes make me wanna cry. Other times, they make me feel so inspired and ready to do pretty much anything I want to. One image that I found especially moving is So What If We Could Fly.

I, honestly, think that you should turn it into a comic. I would DEFINITELY buy that comic! It would be money well spent! I believe you could truly become famous; bigger than any manga or comic out there. I believe your story could become the Harry Potter or Twilight of comics.

Please, PLEASE keep up drawing pictures of your Mut character and don't ever leave dA or I will cry. XD *adds to watchlist*
