Guess who is realllly bad at keeping up to date on stuff? Me! Which is why art is my hobby and not my career. Haha.


Just a preview of a little something I'm working on. It's gonna be a lot busier when it is done, but this is just the first part. I'm also working on some pieces for some contests on deviantart. OF COURSE. I know what you say, "Laura, you enter all these contests yet you only win like subscriptions." Well, when one cannot afford subscriptions than it really is a lot. Haha. And they get my creative juices flowing.

Jason broke my glasses, so I wanted to show you guys the snazzy new ones I ordered off line.  (Orange ones)

snazzy, right? if those come out okay, i'm going to order a "normal" looking pair, too. and maybe this other pair im in love with. haha.

Okay, that should be it for now. Oh, except I'm still trying to get a table for Otakon. They haven't posted anything yet and it's getting so close..........

acrylics <3~ im planning to sell one at otakon and the bunny one on etsy. i have to take better pictures of it though.  the frames are made out of wood.

lol rose art markers.

marker, white correction pen and a black sharpie. hohoho. im getting a little better with them. they're still very crappy markers. haha.

markers! i love using them =) they hurt my hand a little after awhile. cheap rose art markers. haha. oh and some cheap highlighters my mom gave me.

I just haven't been in the internet mood lately. I've grown bored of it as of now and spend a lot of my time playing my playstation. But no worries, these phases come and go and we all need time away from the internet sometimes. Hope everyone is okay!

the fish was on iphotostock.com somewhere and i just used it for reference and the cupcake totally was bullcrapped. you can tell from the crappy shading. =)

world's end by =pronouncedyou on deviantART

I'm debating drawing the rest of my giants out in photoshop. Maybe I'll just scan them. :D

I got a letter from Full Sail University saying I should apply to them and go to their college. After some research, I had decided not to attend on the account of the poor reviews.

Don't get me wrong, there was a handful that said it was a great place to go if you could afford it and had the drive and dedication to succeed but a lot of people said it was more of a crash course in "the industry" than a fully explanatory curriculum, which is what I want. So I'll stick heading to community college for a couple of years and transferring to another college for art.

But it made me feel nice that a school dedicated to art/music/design sent me a piece of mail intended for, well, me. Haha.

makes me wish i had markers. i so have the urge to do traditional but i only have colored pencils and cheap oil pastels. oh, and watercolor. but none of those things have the vibrancy im going for. oh well. its hard to be original nowadays. i find myself frustrated with my mediocre talent and lack of ideas.
