Just FYI

I got the call and I'm heading in for pre-admission testing. It's still not a guarantee but here's hoping.

Just FYI

I wanted to quickly update everyone this morning on the fact that I just got a call that they have an organ for me. They're doing tests on it and will know more by this evening. Nothing is set in stone but we'll see. I'll keep you all apprised on the situation as it develops.

Oh Happy Day!

So as you can tell I'm not on extended leave and did not get the organ I was waiting for. I titled this post "Oh Happy Day!" not because I got a transplant or rather didn't, but because I just ordered a Wacom Intuos4 Medium Tablet and it will be here in 2 days. I absolutely cannot wait to move back into digital art. I say "back into digital art" because I used to do lots of digital art. I took a year off to improve my drawing skill because I was unhappy with my abilities. I spent that year getting back to basics with mostly just a pencil and sketchbook. I'm in the middle of my 7th sketchbook and I'm finally happy with my basics enough that in addition to traditional work I feel comfortable getting back to digital work as well. Drawing with a mouse would be too difficult though and this Wacom tablet will help me more fluidly transfer my skill. Anyway, here are two pieces like usual.

Screamer 2

Screamer 3

These are two more pieces in my screamer series. I went through a large stretch of depression due to my chronic illness and whenever it hit me like a bag of hammers I drew things like this. I often felt like screaming but instead I drew these. I still draw them when I get depressed as they have become therapeutic although I draw them much less than I used to. I'm not as depressed and hardly feel the need. Anyway, I can't wait for my tablet to arrive. I'm so excited. Thanks for reading about my brainsplosion.
