I really didn't expect to get a Daily Deviation today! Well, of course, if I did it would ruin the surprise. Thanks so much to Atramina for suggesting it and Pixel-Spotlight for featuring it!

Well anyways, I haven't updated my Journal in almost a year, so I might as well make one now. What have I been doing since I graduated last year?

Quite a lot of things actually.

*I started a webpage for my portfolio, but then I realized I didn't like it so I'm revamping it.
*I traveled to China (all by myself no less) to visit my relatives and got to see the sights.
*I learned to cook a lot of stuff. Chicken, beef, pork, shrimp, lobsters, noodles, Chinese, Italian, French, Mexican etc. You'd think I'd be a chef instead of an artist with all the stuff I cook every week.
*I did a bunch of freelance work, alot of which I haven't shown here.

Despite that I still need find a fulltime job so I can support myself. I'm thinking Game/Film/Animation industry, but I don't have too many connections there (because it's WHO you know, not what you know). In the meantime, expect a bunch of concept art of various things.

Also I'm always open for commissions! Prices as low as $3 for simple stuff!

A Grand Finale

2 min read
On May 30, 2009, I graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design and received my diploma as a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration.  
But I couldn't have done it without my friends, who are all talented people and have been great influences throughout my years at RISD. So I am dedicating this journal to the RISD Illustration Class of 2009!

You should check out each of their galleries as they are all wonderful and excellent artists.
(Sorry if I missed anybody!)

WTF this is the busiest week ever in my entire life! FFFFFUUUUUU-!!!!!!

On Wednesday, I have a Portfolio review. I've never been to one, so I'm a bit nervous, but at least I have my portfolio prepared.

On Thursday, I have to present a project in front of an entire class. At least, I'm not doing it alone since it's a group project. But still, why did it have to be this week?!?

And right after that, I have my Senior show. Now, this is one thing that I'm actually excited for since it's basically a chance to showoff some artwork and we're gonna have music and free food and everything. The only problem is I still have tons to do to prepare for it and I don't even know why I'm posting a journal because I should really get back to work!

Friday couldn't come soon enough....

Holy crap, I got another Daily Deviation? aragornbird.deviantart.com/art…

What a pleasant surprise! And almost exactly the same day that I got my previous DD: aragornbird.deviantart.com/art…

But as you can see, the difference between those is nearly 3 years ago and a lot has changed in 3 years!
Many thanks to savagebinn for suggesting it and Quelfabulous for featuring it! :D

So anyways, in case you weren't keeping up or in case you don't know yet, I am currently a senior at the Rhode Island School of Design. In a few short months I will be...*gasp*...graduating?!? Probably the most important event in my life, but before that I'll be working hard on my portfolio. You'll probably see a new piece from me every single week until the end of May.

Oh God, the last time I updated this journal was January 22nd. I was in the middle of Wintersession back then. Now it's May 23rd, over 4 months later. That means....I am done with the entire spring semester! No...wait...it means I'm done with my entire Junior year of college!!!!!

Holy crap, time has passed so fast! What happened during those 4 months? Well, quite a lot academically. I can't really explain it all right now though, since I packed up my own computer for summer storage and so now I'm using a school computer. Tomorrow afternoon, I'll be moving out of my dorm and taking a flight home. I can't wait! I never really miss home in the middle of the semester, but when it gets closer to summer, I start wishing I was there again.

So...I haven't really submitted any deviations since....last December? Right. Well, it's not like I haven't done anything new (I've done a lot really), it's just that I'm really picky about what goes into my gallery. For example, I have LESS images in my gallery this year than I did last year. I was just cleaning out old pics and felt that some weren't worth displaying anymore.

But don't worry, all you watchers (new and old). I'll definitely be more productive this summer. But first I have to clean my dorm and finish packing...:p
