Holly Crap! This has to have been the best year of my life so far! I've really grown this year, and I can't wait for another year of adventure.

So lets see. My Art resolution last year was to draw more Freedom art. That went down the drain pretty fast. Simon and friends seemed to dominate this year, and I've added a TON of new cohorts of theirs. I've also expanded Simon's story, lets just say, life is fleeting.

Art wise, I've come quite a long way. My style may not have altered much, but that's okay, I like my style. It's like a mix of cartoon, realism, and manga to me. It feels original and I like that about it.
I couldn't do any digital stuff because my computer broke, and I JUST got my tablet re-installed, so this is the only thing I was able to do digitally this year.
I got a new phone this year, and I've been doing what I can to make my boring monochrome pictures pop with color. I took to filters, and have been playing with getting the images to be clearer and more vibrant.

I started an Instagram a few months ago. It's totally random. You get first look at drawings there, and I take lots of pictures. Of everything. Also, you get to see my lovely face a little more often than you would here.

I got the grandest opportunity last year to go on a trip to Europe. I raised a good $3k, which is great, since I live in the middle of no where. I traveled on my first plane to Atlanta, then overnight to Dublin, Ireland. I spent a brilliant week there, then ferried over to Wales where I scaled down a castle wall. We drove around England, and spent majority of our time in London. We ferried over to the Isle of Wight where I learned to sail for 5 min before getting knocked into the water. I got major tan lines, but I had a fantastic time there! After that, we overnight ferried to France where we landed in Normandy and walked the beaches and graveyard. Then off to Paris to climb the Eiffel tower. Had to walk up the damn thing in about 2 hours, ouch! Totally worth it though. If you want to see my 1000+ photo and video documentation, you can go to my Facebook Page.

I can already tell 2015 is going to be a real rollercoaster. I'm scared, I've been scared. I'm a Senior now, but I'll be a freshman soon again, that's right, college is coming up. I only applied to two places, thank god one place took me in. I really don't know what I want to do, which makes me hesitant to actually go to college. I've been thinking about where to work. I haven't had a job yet, and I've considered that being a Flight Attendant might be where I want to go first. I'd like to study music, and I was really hoping to get into Berklee in Boston, but I missed the online audition submission deadline, so that dream was killed before I even got a chance. I dream of singing on stage with in a happy-go-lucky band. *sigh* I'm still really confused. ... I've been wishing for this for a long time, but I don't want to let go of this. I'm going to miss my friends, and I'm scared to step out there all alone.
