Announcements:
Due to my busy school schedule, I will not be able to take on any commissions aside from greeting card and tattoo design* until Christmas break.If you do have a commission that you would like me to work on from December 21st until January 27th, you can email me with details now and I will let you know right away if I have room for them.
*greeting card and tattoo designs are relatively small, short-term projects that I draw, but the customer prints/hands over to a professional tattoo artist. I will not be painting any greeting cards until Dec 21st, only drawing them by hand or digitally. If you have any other very small, very short-term projects, email me and I’ll determine then if I have the time before Dec 21st to complete them. I reserve the right to refuse any commission for any reason.
Updates
11/20/08 Today I've added two pictures to the main artwork gallery of drawing's I've done in school. I've also updated the information on the Freshman Exhibition that my work will be in. I hope to have pictures from the event on the site soon.
09/14/08 I'm in college! Lot's of work to be done here! But I have added my first self-portrait drawn in college to the main artwork gallery! I hope my professor likes it. :)
08/27/08 I am leaving for college very soon. Because of this I may be slower responding to emails. I may also not be able to complete commissions on short notice. Of course, I am still willing to work--just no rush orders, please!
08/15/08 Today I've condensed the Commissions page and the Commissions Gallery into one page. The Commissions page will now hold both the gallery of past commissioned work, and information about requesting work.
I have also updated some exciting announcements concerning my participation in this Year's Arts on the Common.
08/03/08 Today i've added a painting of the Rockport shore line to the commissions gallery. This new painting will be hung with the following painting. I've been keeping quite busy this summer on commissions and with drawing lessons and workshops. But the summer isn't over yet, and I still have time to take on a little more additional work. Once September roles around I will be starting college, and who knows when I will be selttled enough to take on new commissions while attending school. So, if you've been browsing my site and thinking of requesting a painting, don't wait any longer!
Speaking of commissions, I would like to take a moment to sincerely thank everyone who has commissioned me in the past. All my clients have been wonderful to work with and I've enjoyed every project and challenge given to me. I am especially greatful to the local libraries who continue to give me the opportunity to share my passion for drawing and cartooning with Massachuesetts' school children.
07/16/08 Inspired by the fun I had at the Anime workshop that I just got home from, I have added a picture of a library classroom all set up and waiting for students to arrive. It doesn't have me in the picture, but hey, I needed to hold the camera.
07/15/08 Today I've added a painting that I just finished of Rockport, MA. I am very happy with this one and can't wait to paint some more! You can see the painting in the commissions gallery. :D
06/16/08 I've got some exciting updates today. I'm trying out a few new things here--we'll see how it goes. First, I've added a game at the end of the site on the contact page. Y'know, for when you're done looking around but want to continue to waste time on the internet. Second, I've added a chat room. I have no idea if this will be popular or not yet, but I'm hoping to use it to communicate with people interested in my work live. Of course, I can't be online all the time, so visitors can also talk to one another for free and without a registered screen name. Just visit the contact page and click on 'chat now.'
06/02/08 Added pictures of a mural to the commissions gallery.
05/27/08 Today I've updated the about me page. I've condensed the text and added a list of achievements split into several categories, sort of like a resume.
05/17/08 Today I've figured out A, how to upload videos to the site, and B, how to hide pictures and videos behind links! So today I've uploaded an animation that I created. It is under the main artwork gallery. :) I've also taken down the preview gallery for volume two of celestial condemnation and have replaced it with links to the preview pages. I also re-did the commissions page to make it simpler and more to the point. I also made a commissions gallery, instead of a page of pictures that you have to scroll through. Check it out.
05/15/08 I've completed the How to draw Workshop page! At least for now. At my next workshop I'll have to try and get a picture of me teaching or something to put up on the page. Today I've also added some pictures that I created in my digital arts class to the main artwork gallery.
05/14/08 So if you've read the announcement at the top of this page, you already know that I am updating the entire website.....probably slower than I would like. But so far, changes include changing the other artwork gallery into the main artwork gallery, now located near the beginning of the navigation bar on the top of the page. Next, all of the anime and manga has been put together under one page: original manga and anime, with links to more specific pages located there.
05/11/08 I've added more artwork to the other artwork gallery! Horray. I still have more from this year to add but It's on display right now so I haven't taken pictures of it all yet.
04/29/08 I updated my events schedule, as well as the about me page! The highlight of that little update is my choice of college: I have decided to continue my art education at the Hartford Art School this coming fall. But in the mean time, I am very busy wrapping up senior year! I have a mural to finish, two shows to prepare for, two large drawings to complete, and a competition to enter. And I only have a few weeks left to do it!!!
04/13/08 Due to super spam by spam-bots on the guest book, I have deleted it. :P They found me. >.<
04/12/08 Updated other artwork gallery and upcoming events! I have a lot more artwork to add to the gallery but it all tied up in preparation for shows and things so I will have to take pictures of it later!
03/12/08 I have updated the up-coming events section above. I am super excited for Anime Boston. Only nine days to do. This year I decided not to get a table, and just enjoy the con with friends. However, if you are DYING to get a copy of any of my work, contact me before the con and we can arrange a spot to meet.
03/07/08 Today I've added pictures of that mural that I finished in my last update. It's in the other artwork gallery. even though its a commission.
02/24/08 Yesterday I finished painting a mural at Sammy's Deli in Burlington. They reopen for business on Monday the 25th so you can go see for yourself. I've also added a commission that i completed quite a while ago.
02/08/08 So quick update! I added a picture to the other artwork gallery as well as pictures of a very complicated wig that I recently finished styling.
01/30/08 Third update in January! Woo! Okay so today I made a new logo for the top of the site ^ look up ^. The other one depicted a much younger me, and it was time for an update. I also put the picture of myself that I drew for the logo at the bottom of my bio on the About me page. I also updated a sentence in that page because I just won a silver key in the scholastic art awards for an oil pastel self-portrait! Yay! The piece is in my other artwork gallery. Its the one with all the dark reds and oranges and my face is at a 3/4 angle. I also updated the footer for the website. It used to say "yay summer." It is so not summer anymore.
v look down v to see what it says now.
01/22/08 Two updates in one month!? That's much better than I did in November and December. Today I've updated the about me page. It's all re-written and hopefully written better.
