Time flies when one is having fun, in my case it's reading books and playing games for the past month. I feel bad for not having completed a good size picture in the period of time I've quit deviantART, but I feel as if my artist career is going no where in life now, so why bother pursuing false dreams? Sure it's fun to paint family and friends painting, but as far as making money off it... get real people! Unless you have an actual art degree or draw furry p0rn, artwork is NOT going to make you any money, no matter what people say. EVER! As far as my career in life going, I'm wanting to fulfill my love for sciences, mainly earth and astronomical based sciences. In the background I've been reading up on a lot of Ryan's old biology books as well as hitting some of his old math books trying to figure out some of the scientific equations on my own. So far it's proving to be a rough start, but it's a good start considering I'm basically teaching myself. Being in an actual college class would be better to show how much I'm understanding, but since I have no way of getting back into college at the moment this is far better than nothing. It also gives me a good jump start for when I do actually get back into classes I'll know enough to get me one step further than starting afresh. Anyway, I'll be on vacation starting Monday of next week. I'll be getting back sometime around the 28th or 29th, not sure when exactly but sometime then. Going to see my grandparents in Illinois since I haven't seen them in a few years now. I honestly wish Ryan could come with me since my grandparents are so eager to meet him, however he must study for his Ph.D comprehensive test June 6th. A weeks worth of study time isn't enough for reviewing 3 years worth of college courses. Maybe next time. Anyway, it'll be a relief to get away for awhile. Being out in the country away from the hectic city life will do me some good. AND... no more of that damned rap music crap! (Nothing against the African American race, but they have a horrible taste of what they call music.) I'll also be able to do a bit of fishing or once, that will be treat for me. Can't wait for Monday now. :)
As time goes on, it seems that I loose more and more interest with anything that has to relate to the computer. It's been well over a month since I've even touched my tablet pen and even longer since I've actually stated any new digital work. What's even more depressing is the fact that I've grown tired of the online art community, deviantART, I've been a member with for over 4 years. I guess it's because of the news article I started last year. My popularity has grown not because of my art, but because of that stupid news article and I feel it's creating a negative vibe. People don't visit my gallery anymore for my artwork, they visit it for the news article. I honestly don't feel that's right on my behalf. Sure, my artwork isn't the greatest in the world, but I'm trying my hardest to make it the best I can. That's why I've decided to pick up from there and make this my new online gallery. I won't have to worry about people coming to me asking me about that bloody news article and I can focus on my artwork instead of having to stress out over something I once did for the hell of it. I really don't want to separate myself from dA entirely, but I feel it's what I must do in order to be happy with my artwork again.
