[Oh hey, 2014]

Well hey there-didn't see you hiding in the dark over there!

Anyway, it's 2014 now, and I'm pretty excited. And that's saying something, because it's against my policy to get excited.

Firstly, I have a girlfriend. So that's exciting. I know that only my prof's will read this and be like, "what the hell, I didn't need to know that." But I did, and it's nice and stuff.

Secondly, I was able to get a bit of Illustration done. Not a ton, but I made a few fun things:

{1}
I made this box set of cards for a Christmas gift. I illustrated them, then printed them off and made a cute little box for them. It's real sweet

Adorable, I know.

{2}

I managed to get inspired enough to crank out an illustration piece in the style I love most: cut out. I built a model using hand cut and painted paper pieces, then photographed it. It's like playing with paper dolls. But more manly (which now I sound sexist, as if guys shouldn't play with paper dolls, but really, they shouldn't.)

Finally, I was able to break out the ol' paints and just do some paint on canvas stuff. It's been fun.

And I know that self portrait of me looks super bipolar and disturbing, but I'm really not that way. I just wanted to use dark purple as a shadow. And every artist has to have a tortured self portrait, right?

Anyway, that's been my break. In case you were interested.
