OMG. I can't believe I haven't put a journal up for this yet. Did you guys know that I have my own website? And that I've already uploaded over 40 comics there? It's true *wink*!

Check it out!

I'd stuff bricks in my purse and get other people to carry it for me.

The crappy anime pics I drew three years ago are still getting more faves then what I'm drawing now, despite the fact that I've improved as an artist and I'm no longer a shameless japanophile. I'm still getting faves for that corny Garfield comic I made where he didn't even talk in thought bubbles. Plus, after spending so much time learning how to draw, the most talked about webcomics out there or Cyanide and Happiness, xkcd, and qwantz... all of which don't value art. To be fair, they're great writers and when I say "I can draw" that doesn't mean well (just well enough so I can qualify to say that...I hope).

Well, I guess the next step is to heavily concentrate on learning how to write. Time for another four years of bashing my head into learning something I'm not cut out for.

Disclaimer: I'm not being emo or anything. I know that if THIS is the worst thing I can complain about then I'm a very fortunate person. I just thought this needed to be said.

I'm on vacation and nobodies paying attention anyway.
But I'm going back to school today and I've still been drawing.
In fact, I'm now a cartoonist for my school paper I believe

I keep not submitting things I draw because they're utter crap. But I need to draw utter crap to get better. Otherwise, I neglect drawing totally and end up not drawing anything. If I do that, I end up drawing crap for the rest of my life.

So, starting now, I shall submit something new here each day. It doesn't matter how bad it is. It doesn't matter how lazy it is. It doesn't matter how stupid it is or how cliche, I will submit something new each day. Then, years from now, I may not be creating utter crap anymore. Or I will. Either way, I won't have any regrets about not working to my full potential. Because, let me tell you, if I had done this 3 years ago when I first discovered deviant art, I'd be a heck of a lot better now.

So, I offer a piece of advice to those who watch me and occasionally comment on my stuff (a total of 2 people, rightfully so), Unwatch me. Now. Otherwise, I'll be loading up your inbox with piece after piece of senseless crap that I'm putting online because I'm not happy with simply putting it in a sketchbook for some reason. I don't want to be a burden on your inbox and I don't want to be a nuisance.

Because maybe, in another three years, my art won't be a nuisance.
