Hey everyone! With graduation right around the corner, I just wanted to let everyone know that my illustration website is finally up and running. It showcases the work I've done while here at MICA and will hopefully be of some help in getting me a darn job after school this May.

I actually went to a portfolio review at the gaming company Big Huge a week or two ago, but they have so many kids trying to do concept art; it's totally overwhelming! So keep your fingers crossed that I end up hearing back from them, because that would be incredible.

I also received my promotional post cards the other day and should be sending them out to children's book publishing companies as well as comic samples to independent publishers soon.

All of that aside, I wanted to officially post the link on here to my new Portfolio Website. It's about 99% done, aside from tweaking the front splash page just a pinch (by adding in an updates text block rather than leaving it blank). I truly hope you guys enjoy it.

Let me know what you guys think! It took me DAYS to hand code it with the incredible help of my best friend and roommate ~Cabbitsu. She literally sat next to me and told me word by word what to do whenever I got stuck or confused (which was pretty often). I truly couldn't have made it without her.

Aside from that, I'm just going to try my best to finish up school strong. When things finally ease up this summer, I was considering opening up commissions again if anyone would be interested (except first I'm going to draw Sae like, 20 pictures because she commissioned something from me last summer and still hasn't received it because of my cheap-ass excuses of being busy with school. I owe her 20 drawings just for her sheer patience and kindness. Also, anyone who has contacted me regarding CD related artwork, I'll be 100% open to those commissions this summer too).

Thank you again as always, you guys. I'm really honored and flattered you're enjoying the recent artwork.
