It has come to pass

Today is a rather sad day for me. One that I knew was coming and tried to deny. Its hard dealing with change. Sometimes it can come up on you unexpectedly while other times you feel it moving towards you like a wave about to break on the sand. I have never cared very much for change. Maybe its my Scorpio nature that makes me want things to stay as they are. Especialy when those things make me so happy. But change is inevitable, its a necessary part of the universe. The only constant they say is change. And so I am excepting this one.
So what has happened? Well if anyone knows me they know I have two jobs. One is working in an after school program with middle school kids. The other is my dream job which I love so much. I work behind the counter at a small privately owned metaphysical book store in Old Town. I spend my days surrounded by books and crystals, talking to cheerful wiccans and other folk. At least I use to.
Today my boss, a kind man , sadly told me he was giving up on this old book store. The economy just wasn't there for us this time around and he just cant afford to stay open any longer. Any longer literally means that. Tomorrow is my last day at the store I have come to love so much.
The saddest part is that we had just moved the store to Old Town. A wonderful soothing community with old historical buildings that you can feel the life in. I was looking forward to seeing the trees blossom outside the large store front window this spring and getting to enjoy the local festival es that where soon going to be held. Its a pity, a real shame.
However I do believe everything happens for a reason. I don't know what this reason is yet but I am sure something even more wonderful will come along for me. I feel that Old Town hasn't seen the last of me and I know for certain that spirituality is going to stay a strong focus in my life. Even if I lose the nifty employee discount on all the neat things I liked to buy. *la sigh*
So friends, have a heart for me in my time of morning. I am determined not to get depressed but if anyone else out their loved The Mountain as I did then mourn with me at least a few moments over this sad news. Then tomorrow we can smile again.

More Homework

Okay so much is keeping me from finishing my comic. One of those things is homework. I am having so much fun with images I am creating for photoshop class it makes me want to spend all my time playing with stock photos, filters, brushes, and the like. I just enjoy the pretty pictures I get. Such play has lead to beautiful images like this one.



The other thing that has been distracting me is my co-comic I am making with my friend Monica. I hope to have something to show you guys next blogg. But I am not making

Lately I have been kicking around some new top secret ideas that I might reveal in my next post.

Within A New Realm

Well I am done moving into my new house. It was alot of work and I am so very tired and sore. I will miss my old place but I am deeply in love with my new one. .... Now its time to get to work unpacking. *sighs* The work just never ends. Oh well.
Anyway I though I would upload this beuatiful image I created for my photoshop class. Its made using stock photos but I think the result is so beautiful I though I would share it with you all.

Wish me luck unpacking. If no one hears from me by Friday it means that I got barried under a landslide of boxes. Heheh at least the kitties love all the boxes everywhere. And they adore the new place. Even if they havent left the basement yet.

Comics For Cures!

One of the fellow artist from comics obscura Josh Heusinkveld invited the entire group to take part in a special fundraiser called Comics For Cures. So I made up these two 2.5x3.5 cards of my characters from Internal Essence. They are going to be donated to the cuase so Comics for Cures can aution them off on April 4th 2009 along with works of over 200 other artists. The procedes of the aution will go to the American Cancer Soceity.
I'm very happy that they turned out so well for simple sketches. It makes me want to do more sometime. Also my friend Monica and I are working on a new comic together its about on orc and a girl. Since we are going to a comic con we desighned a few buttons for it. I think this is my favorite.

Sexy Wild Cat

I am suppose to be finishing up issue 4 of my comic but I took a break now and again to finish up this little drawing of my ffxi charter Nyrissa. I think she turned out REALLY good. She is my first drawing done 100% on the computer with a tablet then finihsed up on my new toshiba touch screen tablet. (I love my babby!) Let me know waht you think ^^
