My first completed book!


Okay - it's been a while since my last entry - life has been a BIT crazy demanding me to make decisions which I managed to avoid making for a while, but had to eventually face. Now that I have made these decision(I decided to go back to school), life is so much brighter I wonder what the heck took me so long. Other areas of my life also started to improve - things suddenly started to fall into place almost as if life had everything ready for me but wasn't going to let me have'em until I made this very important decision.

Anyway I didn't completely turn off my creative faucet and worked on a little project here and there and*drum roll* at last, I have finished my little project called "Pictures & Words."

The completion of this little books is significant to me for many reasons. Most importantly, this is the FIRST personal project I have COMPLETELY finished from front to back -and there is not a iota of incompleteness (although at the time of recording there was ONE little paisley that wasn't drawn in the book yet, but it is now) or something I wasn't happy with. This was also the first altered book I ever made - originally this book was a 3.5 x5.5" Moleskine weekly planner(I left some informational pages in the planner to show that) which was converted into my little doodle book. I also have pieces made by friends, pictures that inspire me and many pieces which I directly copied from an artist I admire - all things I don't ever include in anything with my name stuck on it; but they were very helpful in keeping me motivated so I may start to include them in future projects...who knows?

ONE MORE THING: this is also my first video and I apologize for the poor lighting and bad cameragirlship.
