I'm not sure who is still watching my DA, but I feel a bit bad that the last update I wrote for the journal was back at the beginning of the year, so here is a little update of what's going on with me.

I got a job working on a video game back in July. It's my first full-time job and also my first in the video game industry and it's kept me very busy. I'm not allowed to talk about what I'm working on, but I've been having a great time and I dread the end of the project every day! I wish this would never end.

Unfortunately though it means that I have very little free time, and what free time I do have tends to get booked up quickly by friends and family and just daily life stuff. Which of course means, no time for art.

Aside from that though, I am currently experiencing probably the worst art block I've had since I began taking art seriously over ten years ago. I feel as if calling it an art block is an understatement... it is more that I no longer enjoy doing art in my personal time at all. I have spent the past several weeks trying to remember what I enjoyed personally about art and am having a hard time. I guess this is one of the pitfalls of turning a hobby into a career. Even without the obligation to upload artwork online, I am having a hard time picking up a pencil or a pen in the rare moments I am free to draw whatever I like. The truth is, I have no idea what I like to draw.

So this is a long roundabout way of saying that it could be a while before I am back here with something to show. It could be a really long time. Or it could  be a short time. I don't know. I know there are not many people who left who particularly mind. But for the few who do, I'm sorry.

Okay. I actually like the Open Door so that's no problem.

Hey Tigrin,

I was going though a bunch of my old faves and I happened upon your gallery (which I had forgotten life, college, work). your work still makes me smile especially your animations : ). Hope you find your enjoyment again.

There are those who have the time and talent to pursue their dreams as artists and those who just plain suck. I'm not mean, but it's the truth, the llama made me say it. [link]
