ALMOST A YEAR

I am really bad about keeping up with this blog. Seriously.

Since the last post I graduated with honors, joined an honors society (Alpha Beta Kappa), became the recipient of the Dean of Student Service Cup award, moved back home to help parents (dad had a stroke and mom had knee replacement surgery - neither could really leave the house), had my own art exhibit at the Lawrence County Art Council (also may have some of my art at the Hartselle art gallery), modeled for a competition and advertisement...

I'm sure I skipped some things, but those were the main highlights.

Right now I'm doing freelance work and making tons of amigurumi dolls in my Etsy shop: Check it out, guys!

Since there are hardly any local animation/art jobs in or around my hometown I started working in retail again. Part time has some really unreliable hours. First few weeks were 32-20 hours a week. Next week I have a total of 4 hours. I'm in this awkward position where I would like to move to a larger city for more opportunities to get a job in animation, but can't earn enough money where I am able to move nor am I completely sure if I'd even get a job in animation since I feel intimidated with my lack of any animation work experience. School related stuff was good, but knowing I have to apply that to the real world kind of frightens me. And next month is the first month when I need to start paying for student loans. Bye bye grace period!

Anyway. Here are some things I've doodled since this year began! I think my art is getting... cutesier?
