# About me

I'm 26 years old ,a college graduate, though I've done nothing with the degree. I'm no artist, I just fiddle whenever I feel "inspired." Which was about two years ago until a month ago when I drew myself as a character in a Steampunk rp I'm working on.
Well,I'm 27 now, and am still working on developing my steampunk rp, and still trying to upload all my OLD OLD OLD art, but my crap computer and connection have managed to make that very slow :D.

Now, nearly 28, and trying to decide what to do with my life. I'm thinking of going into costume making and learning how to do resin and sewing and whatnot..it's..rather daunting.

I love art and nearly all my friends are artists in one form or another. Comics, Renfaires, Star Wars, Roleplaying, and so on are my hobbies/passions. I'm just a big dork.

Current Residence: Motown, WV
Favourite genre of music: Rockish
Favourite style of art: Serious comic book style? and awesome photography
Skin of choice: Anything but my own? kidding..sorta..i need to be a shapeshifter :)
Favourite cartoon character: Last Exile cast, Batman Beyond, Shego,Venture Bros, entire group of Avatar, the Last Airbender, New Thundercats series,
Personal Quote: er...

Now, just freshly turned 29...(11/2011) and I'm all over the place, Finally got a camera, may finally learn how to sew and/or make lightweight helmet/masks!

now, at 30. I've slightly learned to sew and barely know how to use my camera, but I'm slowly edging my way into being able to do more things that I enjoy and be creative. Photography, drawing, and costumes for the most part with game and character and story creation sprinkled in. Learning how to do costumes with foam and lights.

Now, 31. I've recently come to terms with calling myself an artist. Other people began to refer me as an artist. I used to deny it because I feel that "artists" are these amazingly creative and talented people and I have always felt that I'm not. I still don't feel very talented or creative, but I do feel that I'm an artist. I'm only truly content when creating, whether it's a costume, a drawing, a gift, or jewelry. I'm learning how to do costume work faster and faster, I'm slowly teaching myself skills in both costume work and drawing. I feel all kinds of drive to create, create, create!

At 32, I finally feel like I'm ever so slightly becoming a better artist. At least with drawing/illustrations.
