For the first time I have artwork that I like enough to hang in my house, I think I have found my place with these waves and now I have way more waves then I have house. I need to find something to do with them, I would love to sell them but not sure that anyone beyond my close friends will like them as much as I do.

Finally

I am finally getting the hang of my Tablet. Right now I am waiting for parents to show up for parent teacher conferences and I am making the most of my time. I am pretty proud of my orlando Bloom pic. I know he is not perfect, that is not the point. the point is I am getting the hang of my tablet and having fun at the same time. It is about time I was able to do some art just for me. And you know what else I love that it still looks like a pencil drawing (unless you zoom in) but I dont have a forearm covered in graphite. or pencil shavings everywhere.  I could use a bigger computer screen though the netbook is kinda hard on the eyes. may

LOVE

I love my wacom bamboo tablet. I am still getting the hand of it. I think that I am going to buy autodesks sketchbook pro program. I have the one that came with the tablet and I really like it but it is not the full version. Classes are going great this semester, I am so proud of all my students they have been working really hard. Now I just need to find a little time for myself that is not designated for husband baby cleaning house or work. Then I could really jump into some art stuff!

Thanks for the watch!
how is school going? you have to show me some of your stuff!
It's going really well actually. I've been passing all my classes with a B or better and I will totally bring some of the stuff we did in some of my first classes when I come visit again! 8D We're getting ready to start out third quarter soon I think cause we have registration next week. How's the baby?
The baby is good. She is trying to get her first tooth so she has been grumpy this week. Hope it comes in soon so she can be happy again.
