~Professionally :
Currently I'm a graphic design/commercial art student at Nossi College of Art. I'm in the second year of my Bachelor's in Commercial Illustraion and love every second (including the stressful projects that I hate). This school really opened a new world to terrorize with my artwork, and attain to be a freelance artist within the next ten years.
I can design almost anything you may need, business, musically, personally, but I set up a temporary site for thats called Eclectic Designs (see below).You'll be able to see more of my work for hire or for sale there.
As this page is my personal site, I'll continue about myself, instead of the images that drive me with whips and chains.
~Personally:
I draw to live, and live to draw.
I'm polite and cautious
blunt and volitile
short and sweet
poetic
harsh
creative
imaginative
realistic
and scared.
Loyalty for friends runs deep and strong. However, that doesn't mean I allow people to use me or control me. Break my trust and you'll likely never get it back.
My moods run rampant at times and though I try to keep them in check, they do get the better of me occasionally. I can be affectionate or cold towards you; your actions, my moods, and how well I know you determine which side of the scale you get.
Conversing with a stranger happens if I'm the one doing the approaching, or are drunk, which seems to be the few times I do approach strangers. I like to know who I talk to. Just a few things like names and where you're froms don't mean much. I'll listen to you for a while, then I'll share what's going on in my head. It might offend you anyway, so why ask?
My sense of humor runs on the sick and dry side and tend to curse like a sailor very casually. I won't censor myself but will warn you that i am offensive.
consider yourself warned.
I don't suggest just walking up and hugging me unless we're good friends or on good terms. I'm not a grabby-touchy girl and really like my space. Really. Even my boyfriend has boundaries that he doesn't break. Why strangers think they can break them without being broken themselves is beyond me.
I don't like being cornered or shocked. It scares me on an instinctive level and I will respond like an animal, fighting. Sorry, it's something I'm trying to get over, but let's save you a punch in the face or chest while I do, yes?
Don't say I didn't warn you.
My boyfriend, Shaun,
is probably one of the few people who have been able to handle my moods, passions and tantrums without posing threats or throwing tantrums himself. He seems to thrive on my craziness, creativity and this gray matter between my ears (i always thought it was just built up earwax).
I thank him everyday for being so caring, understanding, supportive and patient. Most of all patient.
Honestly, without him, I wouldn't have the confidence to do many of the things I'm doing with my artwork and school careers.
My son and his father, Matthew, live in Murfreesboro. He brings the boy to see me as often as our schedules allow, which during this semester isn't often. Yes, he's a big bugger, even for two, but he's shy with strangers, which is good, and flirts like hell with the ladies, which could also be taken as good.
Hopefully next semester brings more chances to get to that hellhole to see him more often.
I live to draw and write what I observe. Literally. Being unable to think is hell, but being unable to hold a pencil is an ever larger hell. If my hands were ever chopped off, my head may as well be taken also, I would never use it afterward.
With all said and done, should you still be reading and plan on continuing to do so, hold on...you're in for an exceptionally boring trip.
