Several months ago I contacted a poster on Craigslist that was looking for pieces of art for the group, Epica.

One of the things I love about my boyfriend, Ryan, is his crafting skills. No, I don’t mean scrap-booking. His sort of crafting, or ‘projecting’ as he likes to call it, is in the form of creating garb. You might think it’s slightly feminine for a man to make his own clothes, but his response… [Read more…]

I’m on my third submission on Talenthouse.com, with my first two submissions being unsuccessful.

I’ve been working on updating my site for the past several weeks since it’s in dire need of some content other than photos. I’ve also stumbled across a site using one of my images who shouldn’t be, seeing as I didn’t give them permission to do so. Oddly enough they don’t seem to care that… [Read more…]

I suppose it's about time I start making more of an effort to get this thing going. I don't expect much from my blog since as it seems everyone and their mother has a blog these days.
