Requests: No
Trades: Closed
Collaberations: Closed

If you want to start a trade or collaberation with me, I would appreciate it if you would write me a note or contact me over Yahoo MSNGR. I can't keep track of the pictures I should be drawing unless they're all in one place. Noting me is the best way to get a response from me.

If you ask me for a request and you're not a friend of mine (i.e. you've talked to me outside of devArt or note me frequently), don't expect me to respond.

~Random Quote~


"We had such potential.. such promise. But We squandered our gifts, our intelligence."


- The Scientist (9)



That's right Mr. Scientist... humans are assholes.

Seems I've been touched with a bit of the seasonal downs. I had a horrible last week filled with little motivation and lots of sleeping. I think I'm doing better this week, but I still have the urge to just sleep all the time.

Which is odd, because I'm very happy with my life. I'm not depressed, just down for some reason. The only thing really giving me an issue is my job at PetSmart.

I've worked there 5 years now. I'm sick of it. Sick of the power hungry managers, sick of the people, sick of the horrible customers who should not own animals. I'm looking for a new job and possibly some freelance animation work. I can't stay there any longer, I just can't. Working in a pet store shows you just how many people out there have a complete lack of respect for life.

Which leads me into my next bit of information.

Yesterday at work I was approached by a man with a cardboard box. He explained how his 7 year old was sick of the parakeet he had gotten him (from another store) and no longer wished to take care of it and asked if our store would buy it from him. I then explained to him that it's against store policy for us to buy his bird. He said he'd just give it to us then. I told him we also could not do that.

He then started to get frustrated with my constant answer of no and asked me what he should do. I explained that he decided to get a bird and he should do the respondsible thing and take care of it. I was told 'it's just a damn bird and I don't want it no more'.

I told him I was sorry I couldn't help him. He then told me he would just let it go outside. I explained that it was 30 degrees outside and the parakeet wouldn't last a day with the Chicago winds, a nearby river and lake, and clipped wings. He said he didn't care if it died and was going to release it in the parking lot.

*sigh* I really... really hate people.

Meet Caesar, everyone XD

Yes, I know... I'm a softy. But I couldn't let him kill it. The poor thing isn't in very good condition and was probably not taken care of at all. He's got the sniffles and is INCREDIBLY thin and lethargic. But I've got him on meds and am slowly trying to fatten him up. I've been calling him Caesar because frankly I think he looks like a Caesar XD

As you can see my current parakeet Valentine is in love. I was worried he would hate me for getting a new bird (he's been alone for awhile now) but he took to the new roommate almost instantly with comforting chirps and lots of kisses. It's a bromance XD

So I'm pleased and hopefully V will help me get Caesar back into shape. He's been grooming him all night. Wish my new little budgie lots of luck in his recovery. I'd hate to see him not make it.

Salutations. Though I may not be all that conversant at times, I'm still around and still like the goodness that you share with us all.

Take care, my dear, and may you have much goodness come unto you.

You are a very good artist. :) I like how your art seems fluid and how you add your own style to the fan art.

Oh, and you live in Chicago. That makes you extra cool.

Hello, I have browsed through your gallery and I'm very impressed. You have an amazing ability to adapt to many different styles. You also appear to be a nice and pleasant individual. I admire how you want advanced critiques unlike some people I have seen on here.
