I even had a few drawings that i wanted to post here for Halloween, but i didn't get them finished in time. between sadistic teachers (i kid, they arent that bad) and lots of homework, i havent had a lot of free time for drawing the things i want to. Not to mention the fact that i was busy all of Halloween. i spent the afternoon working a face painting booth at a carnival my church did, went trick or treating, sat around watching old recordings of the Addams family, and went to a haunted house. my friends and i are all 16 and up, but we went trick or treating anyways. we went as Mystery Inc. from Scooby Doo and everyone thought our costumes were amazing. (they were really simple...)

hopefully by the time Christmas rolls around, i'll have plenty of stuff to post here. i have and entire new story i'm working on that i'm rather obsessed with, as well as the long awaited second and eventually third issues of Super Hyperactive Chipmunk Man. i'll also have some stuff from the art class i'm taking this semester that i'll put up. so, sad to say, due to my lack of free time, laziness, and lack of focus, i don't have anything for you today except to wish you all a happt halloween. ...a day late.

i have returned! (for those few people who care/acknowledge my existence here on deviantart...)

i haven't been on in months. for a while, i actually forgot i had one of these accounts...i've just been so busy lately. i've had huge resaerch papers for my english class, like 3 different speeches to do in the past month for my speech (public communications) class, plus a jazz concert and life in general. and i've been doing art homework instead of my manga drawings. yes, i'm taking an art class and learning how to draw real stuff and be a real artist. (kidding.)

i actually like my art classes, even though my particular style and abilities aren't really called for or used. (although i did have some artwork put in the school yearbook. i was kinda surprised at that. i had people i bareley knew and people i didnt know at all come up to me and be all 'omg, that's amaizing i didnt know you could draw like that!' so yea. that made me pretty happy. anyways...)
i'm actually learnig to do some realism and how to draw real people. not cartoons.

unfortunately...i dont really know if any of my art class projects will end up here on dA. sure, the manga will keep coming, but i dont know if you'll see anything else. some of my other pieces are really cool and i'm pretty proud of them, but they're also pretty big. my art teacher has this thing with us doing huge projects. (i love her, though. she is easliy my favorite teacher.) they're normally like, 1 and 1/2 feet by 2 feet or so. she thinks that if you're gonna do something creative, you might as well do it big. (which isn't necessarily a good thing for her. she came to school one day and said she was going to end up half blind. apparently she had been working on a painting the night before. on a five foot canvas. in here favorite color. yellow. needless to say, she kinda screwed up her eyes since the only thing she saw for 2+ hours was yellow. and lots of it.)

i'm also really pumped to start a couple of new projects of my own. i recently went to an art fair where there were a ton of different artists who had all these booths set up to display and sell their art. and it was amazing. i felt so...mediocre. i just kind of stood in awe at these amazing works and was all like "yea! and...i ...draw comics...right..." fail. but i was inspired. in the midst of all the self pity and crushing blow to my confidence as an artist there was a new hope, a new fire stirred within me!! (yea, really cheesy, i know.) anyways, i got over myself and looked at these pieces and told myself that that's what i wanted to be someday. i want to be that amazing. i still have a long way to go, but i'll get there.

...if anyone has found it, please let me know.

i'm going absolutely stir crazy. i've just had two snow days in a row and i wouldnt be surprised if we have another one tomorrow. too much free time is not good for me. at least in the summer you can go outside and do something. but no, in the winter you have to stay inside and every snow day that you take off is added onto the end of the year and takes time out of summer vacation. i'm rather sick of all the snow and i miss the sun. the only good thing is that i've had the time to sit down and draw and color a whole bunch of pictures over the last couple of days.

i dont like winter very much. i miss the sun.

... you know, knowing my english teacher, i wouldnt be surprised if she gave us an essay like that on the first day back from winter break.

ok, i'm a little late (surprise, surprise) but i hope ya'll (that's right, i said ya'll.) had a good Christmas and i wish you a happy and prosperous new year and all that stuff, etc. etc. etc...

now, on another note i'm gonna try to not procrastinate as much this next coming year. i'm following my buddy note626's example and i'm actually gonna try to get stuff done. this means more art and coming soon, the long awaited second issue of super hyperactive chipmunk man, complete with all new villains, bad catch phrases, a real plot, and twice the chipmunk goodness. (i also hope to make a third issue, but that's still being worked out.)

however, other than super hyperactive chipmunk man, you probably wont be seeing very many comics from me anymore. i cant remember the last time i drew a comic. i've been drawing real pictures instead. you know, fairies and mermaids and stuff. much more serious work. (sarcasm, much?) but i dont really have the desire to draw comics so much anymore. i cant even remember where the notebook i had them in is... but i will continue to make issues of super hyperactive chipmunk man.

holy freaking cow, i havent been on in forever! but i'm back! and since i last updated...
-summer has ended, (like, 3 months ago, but i havent updated in that long!) and i'm well into my sophomore year in high school
-i have had my 16th birthday (back in september)
-i have taken (and passed!) my driver's test
-i have written and drawn the second issue of super hyperactive chipmunk man! however, it still needs to be inked and colored, so it will still be a while before it will be put here on deviantart.
-i have started to plan a third issue of superhyperactive shipmunk man.

so, yeah. give it a while and i'll have a whole bunch of stuff to upload here. i have several colored pencil pieces that i am currently working on, along with several assignments from my art class at school that i may end up uploading on here just for the heck of it.
