So it has been a little of three years since I have been on here posting art or whatever the hell it was I posted on here. I have been sucked into a dark abyss of laziness and self doubt in my own ability to actually do more than watch TV and play video games, that I have neglected what little talent I have in the creative arts. Or simply put (and stealing a line from Shawn Michaels) "I lost my smile". Over the past few months I have found the fun in writing and drawing again. I'm not great at it, but it brings a smile to my face. I hope to post some stuff on here again in the very near future, as it may help me work through some of that lingering self doubt that won't seem leave. It's like trying to fan a fart away in closed off elevator.

To be honest I am not sure who I am writing this for, as no one is really following this. Perhaps it is more a therapeutic way to release those thoughts that have bottled up over the past few years. Or maybe it is in hopes that people may actually read it and be all like "Eh, what the hell, I got a few seconds to kill. I will read this post." Well, whatever the actual point is, it is being written. If you are one of the few that stumbles upon this .... blog? .... journal? .... whatever the hell it should be called, and are even the least bit interested in what I write then check this out ...

It is just fan fiction for a cartoon called The Loud House. I have become a fan and enjoy the lack of pressure when writing things that are just for shits and giggles. I may post some original stories on this site if anything pops into mind. If you are interested in my art I will post some new stuff soon (I hope). What little talent or promise I may have had feels as if it were coming off a three year bender of drinking box wine and cheap ass vodka. My new profile pic is the first digital thing I have done is a long while.

I have been a very lazy person and was taking too much time off from my art. I have been working at getting back in the habit of drawing. My hope is to put more stuff on here for people to see. I have alot of old stuff, alot of it I do not feel to be very good. But I think I will post it anyways to see if anyone out there likes it. I know that alot of my friends like my art, and I do appreciate that and all, but I sometimes feel that is like your mom telling you that your handsome. I crave the attention of strangers and new friends, people to tell me that my stuff sucks, but then to tell me why and what I could do to improve.

So I am writing a journal entry for the first time here. The only problem is that I am not sure what to really write. Guess I will explain a little about my style of art and inspiration. Sometimes my art may switch styles, and that's because I am still learning alot about how to do certain things. I have a couple of large stacks of art books, comic books, and comic strip collections, that I use to study. I also spend alot of time searching the internet for artists and drawings that catch my eye. I pick up lots of different random things from each artist, taking a way they draw something, or color something, or whatever, and try to adapt that into my own, in the hopes that it will help improve my own artistic skill. So yeah, that's a little more about who I am and what I do.
