For those who even remember me, let alone give a rip - I had an "incident" with a feline a few weeks ago that has left my two index fingers in a semi-useful state. The good news is I do get to keep the fingers, the bad news is things are ALOT harder to do, like turning a doorknob, reaching in my pocket, or signing my name. I know I've been inactive so long probably nobody cares, but I'm afraid drawing is RIGHT OUT.... For a while until I heal.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
With he dawn of 2013, I think it's high time for a profile update!
My fingers have healed quite well, but it's taken them years. The cat did some somewhat permanent damage, as the fingers can tire out quickly. Nevertheless, I can still churn out an occasional drawing!! (Happy dance)
Still railroading. Still voice acting. Still loving it all!
Last year, I bought myself my very own place! A nice little waterfront two-bedroom condo in a big California city.
I still can't believe First National Title saw fit to give me a home loan! o_O
Year one of mortgage payments down - 29 more to go. Wish me luck.

well in truth i want to do more then just anime. i wanna do cartoons, video games, commercials maybe, those toys you see at kid stored where you push a button or pull a cord and it says some stuff. Though mainly video games, the reason being is that i really like gaming and I wanna contribute to the video game indrustry in some way. Im not good at programming and such, plus my writing it's not that I don't think I have good idea's but I'm not great at putting them to paper as they'd be riddled with spelling errors and poor sentence and paragraph structure, much like this comment. Anyway. voice acting seem like the best thing cause I do like acting and i tried stage acting in high school but it did'nt really work for me.
As for education other then a Theater Cass in High School i have no education, as for taking going to an academy I don't think i have the money to go to such places and I it would probably be really far too go to one in the first place. But that not saying Im not willing to learn. In fact i would try in a heart beat if i knew where to look. that was reliable. Truth is the being to far is as important but almost everyplace I found is out in califiornia or Arizona or some where in the west and I live on the east coast. I just don't wanna go that far because i wouldnt see my family for a long time if i did. So right now Im kinda stuck in my prusuit. though if you have any advice Im all ears or eyes since I would be reading it.

Thanks!! I just got done replying to one of them. Very VERY informative! Thank you! I can hardly wait to hear what else you happen to send my way. By the way, have you ever seen 'Adventures in voice Acting'? I haven't, but it is SOOO on my wish list, & has been for a long time. I was just wondering how good it was. (I wonder if it's a good Idea to know, it might drive me crazy that I don't have it. XD) Thanks again! ^v^ Chat with ya later!

Ohhhh!!! I can't thank you ENOUGH!!! That was sooo Awesome!! It may have only scratched the surface, but I definately picked up some great tips! & you actually get to work with her? I just can't get over how cool that is. I actually got myself to experiment with some more original character voices tonight rather than impersonations, & it was an absolute blast! Then my sister walked in on me so I stopped. XD But I favorited that site & I'm going to watch it again. Thank you so much for sending it! I hope things are going well for you. ^v^ Chat with ya later!

Oh no!!! That's terrible!! Losing three & a half hours?! You have every right to be angry!!! I've had so much trouble with that kind of thing. So I started to select & copy my letters before I send them so that if something happened, all I'd have to do is paste it back again. It has definately saved me lots of trouble. but don't worry about it. I'll be excited to read your e-mail when ever it comes, so feel free to take your time. ^v^ I'll be looking forward to it! Take care. ^v^

Hey! Thanks for the comment! I'm glad you like my work & the things I'm into! ^v^ Yes, guitar is one of my most favorite ways to pass the time. I like to play instrumental fingerstyle guitar mostly. haha, I've tried the Ukulele once, In fact I have one, but I haven't looked into how it was tuned, so I haven't been able to play it. I think that's great that you can play one! ^v^
I have never met anyone who was studying to become a professional voice actor. This is so cool!! I'm afraid voice acting isn't my highest priority right now, since I'm not one of the most promising voice actors around. XD I guess that's why I decided to leave it as a hobby 'til I get more skilled with animating, which I've been looking into online courses for. I'd really like to one day be capable of creating my own animated productions & know every aspect of how it's done. The animation, Voice acting, Music... everything. Maybe that's too ambitious of a goal, I don't know. XD But that doesn't stop me from dreaming or trying! I just LOVE to sing & play with as many different voices as I can. Mostly when I'm working. XD Though I'm sure it's nothing pretty. XD But you are in your 2nd year of studying voice acting?! That's great! Oh gosh, that must be fun. Could you tell me what it's like? & What kind of part you are auditioning for? I'd love to hear about it. I'm Sorry, now I'm the one who's rambling. thanks again for the comment! Hope to hear from you again.

i am going to try to set my own gallery. plus i have come to the solution that i really need to buckle down on my comics. if i want to get published i need not be distracted by fanart.
I did change my mind slightly so far tho.
I'm going to create a new name here. my old gallery was too sucky. i want a fresh start.
but! i'm still going to check my profile and such on this name. sooo...you can still talk to me.
when i put my new name up i'll post the link.

Dude, I wish I would have remembered the site, but Your Unicorn w/ Train pic...Well its on someone elses site and they said they drew it! I don't know where, but I thought I would tell you. I was at Google.com and was searching images...Unicorns (Pics) and there on a site I saw it. Unless you gave that person permission, they used your pic!

Thankyou for commenting on my profile! Not many people mention my use of colour in my pictures, except my art teacher. I really like bright colours, especially contrasting colours, lol. You have a really nice gallery too, I especially like your realism, the amount of detail you put into your last picture must have really made your hand hurt!

Thanx for the comment! =P I used to be terrified of coloring with computers because I was afraid it would look horrible. When I found out I had photoshop I was excited because ive seen many very good pictures thats have been edited with it. When I installed it I realized it was very easy to use! Im sure if you had it, it would make you more comfortable with coloring on the computer too! Once again thanx for the comment! =) (By the way I LOVE your art! ^^)

Unfortunately, my first wasn't the Aero... I was only a half an hour late. No woories though. That car was in very rough condition (Let's say you had to use a "magic key" to start the car... *cough-a screwdriver-cough*). My regular '86 SS is in better shape, not to mention loud and fast... Which is the goal of most cars! Later.
