I'm starting a rather small but ongoing fundraiser to help pay for supplies used in my art projects, and until recently, all I've been doing is plastering this all over my Facebook Page.

Now that I'm (almost) back on deviantART, I'd like to share that love with you all as well. Here are the specifics;


I'm currently selling small prints of a few recent pieces at an approximate size of 5 x 7 inches in diameter (square pieces will be approximately 6 inches, other sizes may vary). These prints will be at 15 bucks a piece, and, as of now, will be in limited quantities. The quality of these prints will be presented in lovely Giclee glory and will be fitted on matte paper, so if you get one, make sure to treat it nice :)

I'll be putting together print variants of my other works also, along with varying sizes and whatnot, so please keep your eyes peeled! Also, be sure to hit up my Instagram and Tumblr pages if you want more up to date posts on my upcoming projects. The funds, like I mentioned before, will primarily be used for supplies regarding paints, canvases, etc...but every so often I might have a flat tire emergency, so you might be helping with that from time to time.

Thanks for your time folks!

alright folks, i got some cool information for ya in regards to the stencils that i've been putting together. i started a setup to where i can have people send me commissions for their own custom stencils at a price that's reasonably affordable; around $100-$160 plus shipping and handling costs on large scale canvases, many of which can be seen in my previous works.

this is kind of my first time dealing with selling my work over the lovely internets, and i really hope it kicks off. if anyone has any suggestions as to how i should conduct this sort of business, please, feel free to let me know. until then, here are the current details;

The Breakdown:
-stencils are created using various spray paint and paint marker brands on canvases of various sizes.
-stencil pricing ranges anywhere from $100-$160, depending on the amount of materials used (spray cans, stencil layers, size of canvas), plus time spent during the composition of the stencil's digital process, as well as the time spent putting together the project. pricing will be determined before the project is started.
-any extra colors for these stencils, as well as any additional layers, will also be taken into consideration for the total pricing.

-I am currently putting together stencils of various family photographs, such as aunts and uncles, children, various animals, etc. i also make stencils of various themes (such as video game or movie related, special holidays, etc.), so if there are any special requests for these, feel free to leave me a private message explaining the details.

-please do not ask me to put together stencils of other people's artwork (digital or traditional), which includes, but is not limited to, anyone else's linework, painting, drawings or sketches. if you have any questions about these limitations, please leave me a private message regarding this matter.

Hey deviantART. Time for another update :)

Outside of dealing with the usual "go to work, pay bills, try and be content with how your life is" outlook, i would like to state that I am, in fact, extremely happy. I got accepted into the Illinois Institute of Art-Chicago this past Thursday, and i can't stop thinking about it. What does that mean, my fellow readers? Well i guess that means a lot of things at this point. The other thing that i can't stop thinking about, however, deals with the whole concept of "having faith" versus "giving into doubt" idea that i'm going to attempt to explain.

Doubt was the very reason why it took me so long to put things together, in relation to putting stuff in place for a career. I didn't want to be a scientist, or a nurse, or a teacher, or a regional manager; i wanted to do something that i enjoy doing, and a career in the Media Arts field offers me just that. However, i always managed to put together some type of excuse as to why i'm not able to, such as worrying about having enough money to get things started, or if my skills are good enough to fit in, etc...I mean, don't get me wrong, there's some things that are just unrealistic at the moment(such as moving out to Chicago NOW and screwing over my roommate, putting everything on the line without having my bases covered, not being able to afford to invest in things etc...), but i was wrong for letting certain excuses hold me back.

i'm not in a situation where i can rely on people in order to reach my goals, and i'm fully aware of that. Any steps or any options that i needed to take i had to make for myself, and so far i've done just that. I came up with some decent money and visited the institute on the 17th of April...was it a coincidence that their only available day for Open House around that time was on my birthday? i'm not so sure about that lol

Then i started seeing opportunities, such as having an aunt that could possibly help me with a place to live temporarily, having friends that took time out of their schedule to show me around town a bit, being able to directly speak to a few of the school's instructors...and so i later realized how easy THAT was to accomplish, when before i didn't think these options were available. that tiny bit of experience put things that were going on with my life in a completely different perspective, and ever since then, while still seeing things from a realistic point of view, i've been having faith that it'll all work out for me in the long run.

and so far it's working. i got accepted, so now i'm trying to save up as much as i can before i make my move this upcoming month of May. Doubt can kiss my ass.

now granted, there are some things that i still worry about. but at the moment, i just see them as obstacles that i'll be sure to overcome once i get to them. just wanted to get that off my chest, so now i'm off to sleep...

jeez it's been well over two months since the last time i was here!?

Anyways, i'm currently in one of my "required" classes right now...some computer literacy course. not fun. very boring. so i decided to whip out some paper to sketch on...then i thought of this place lol.

my apologies for being away for so long, without any artwork to show. i'm still working on some character designs, just not as much as i am doing other things, such as work and stuff.

I'm still working on some stuff involving my Project Pups novel, involving "exiled Tigers". not sure where i'm going with it, but i'll talk about it soon enough...

I'll touch base with you soon!
