New Year Drawing.

First drawing post of 2007.

This year, I hope to draw more than

I've ever drawn in my life in one year.

The most I ever drew was probably

during school where I went lifedrawing

at a regular pace, about 10 hours per week.

It'll be a challenge but I said it. So, I'll do it.

Cafe sketching will be the majority of it.

Here's a few from this week.

This is it.

Well, I hope everyone had a great break.

I had enough dinners and gatherings to last

me until next Christmas. For some of you

guys, this is it! it's the last semester of

school. The last semester of school for

me came with a pleasant and warm feeling

of complishment for having made it to that

point. A couple of years ago, it was getting

into the program that had you guys worried

and during the two and a half years of studying,

it was deadlines upon deadlines that had you

sacrificing sleep. Trust me, all the struggle

has built something of all of us, a character

we're all building our character, our style,

our expression and our professional selves.

So, congratulations for having come this far

and here's to another four months of struggle

and pain. To the end of something and the start

of what will become our lives and careers. Let's

struggle together and help each other become

better. Yay.

television ads for Fallsview Casino.

and of what i like to call an extended gesture.

going to school full time and teaching at the
same time is a lot harder than i thought.

am ready for the next semester..

blog these few months. i will try my
best to do better.. and to start that off,
