More on the Horizon

I just got out of a meeting with my Academic Director and as far as things go I might just be able to transfer to the East Coast. Which is good news for me because Las Vegas is doing whatever possible to drive me out of town. I think the fresh air and nature will do good things for me, if I'm not at ease with my environment then I'm not going to do well no matter what I do. Plus I DO NOT want to spend another summer here, nor would I want to move during the summer either. I learned my lesson when I came here in August all those years ago. So anyway East Coast, looking mighty fine as of right now! I mean good people and good everything!

On the art front, not a whole lot done but I did get this piece for Skip almost finished for his project. So far I'm proud of what I accomplished on it. It's 15x20 on hot press illustration board, I used only Prismacolor Markers and opaque white watercolors.
Here's what it looks like so far:


I'm working on a few commissions at the moment including a 13 page Child friendly Doctor Who piece and some artwork for a friend that renewed my Deviantart subscription (love ya!). Look forward to it!

Things Go Round and Round

Things seem to be looking up for old Gil... err Danielle. Things outside of work and school, can't say what just yet, but I have a feeling that aside from all the injuries I've collected as of late, fate could possibly cushion my future.

I've been working on a piece for a friend of mine which is turning out to be the best (and most difficult) thing in recent memory. It's all cool though, I'm really excited with it so far and can't wait to post it.

In other news, I'm looking forward to moving soon. I have pretty much 90% of my stuff squared away when the time comes. I just need to tie up loose ends in Vegas some of which include school and settlements. But, I look forward to a time when I can finally catch a breath and start doing things I really want to do for a living and not have so much drama in my life. A customer told me that there are places in which you know you aren't welcome, that you weren't meant to be. Signs have been pointed out to me that I'm not safe here in Vegas, I've had too many close calls, and too many real accidents to feel at ease in this city. The city itself will find a way to drive you out. And now it's my time. I just want to thank all of my friends who have been with me throughout this time in my life, it's been hard, but I couldn't have gotten through it without you all. (You know who you are!)

Also, a shout out to my friends Leanne and Rod who have gone through some tough shit lately and deserve some cheering up. And to April and Brian on getting hitched recently, you guys are awesome!
