So it's been ages since I wrote in my journal.  I don't think anyone reads these but they are here for me mostly so I can look back and see where my mind was at that particular point in time.  Where is my mind at now you ask?  I'm pretty happy.  But I'm also scared.  Recently I quit my shitty retail job to pursue art more.  I've noticed, and others have noticed, that I haven't been spending alot of time doing what I love to do.  It's like a muscle.  If you don't use it, it starts to wither and die.  I'm hoping to not have that happen.  Now I may not be the best artist on DeviantArt, Society 6 or other online galleries, but I LOVE what I do.  

This isn't really a journal but more of a plea.... PLEASE STOP THIS MY LITTLE PONY CRAZE!!!  THERE IS TOO MUCH OF IT ON DEVIANT ART AND IT'S RUINING THE WORLD!!!!

Now I'm still rather new to the digital art scene, as I have come from drawing with traditional media for most of my life.  When I first started getting interested in it I was a little ignorant to the fact that you CAN get into digital art pretty cheaply and or free!  I have always thought that I was going to have to somehow save up 600+ dollars on my measly salary to buy the latest and greatest art software they had on the market.  Well it turns out that just isn't true.  Another thing I have found to not be true as well is the fact that you don't need said expensive software to actually create the most stunning pieces my mind could fathom u
