After spending the last six years of my life living in Dallas, i am happy to say that next month i'm finally getting out of Texas!
There's a lot of good things about Texas, and the people here are really nice, but I never managed to feel at home here and it has been a big source of stress in my life.
I'm moving up to the Seattle, Washington area, where my sister and many of my good friends now live as well. I want to get back into photography once i move, as well!
i'm visiting my parents back in Pennsylvania this week, and I do have to say, i think i'll always consider the Lehigh Valley my home, no matter where i live. I miss this place, but the nice thing about working for myself is the ability to travel whenever i want and work anywhere!
Ever do any big/cross-country moves?

2017
After a brief period working at another larger game studio, I decided to start the new year as a self-employed artist once again.
2016 was a pretty rough year for me at times. I realized that many of my long-held career dreams and goals really aren't feasible, or are no longer the possibilities that they once were. I struggled a little, and suffered a period of burn-out, something I never thought would happen to me as I love making art.
But I got through the year, and going into 2017 I think it's time I re-evaluated what my main goals are as a professional artist, where I want to be, and what path I should take to get there. Overall, I'm
More surgery
I underwent another ligament reconstruction at the end of January. I don't want to get too ahead of myself, but there is a good possibility that #3 will be the lucky number and this will finally fix my messed up wrist after almost 15 years of pain and problems. That means I have to get through another month of my arm being in a cast, so hopefully it will be worth the inconvenience!
I'm still working, but it's a lot harder to hold/control the pen, and I'm still getting a lot of random nerve pain and stabbiness from the four pins holding my wrist bones in place.
FOUR MORE WEEKS. I can't wait til I can start drawing/painting/modeling again
Whoa, a DD!
Wow, thanks so much to MidnightExigent (https://www.deviantart.com/midnightexigent) and Phreja (https://www.deviantart.com/phreja) for featuring my Dota 2 Crystal Maiden Winterbringer loading screen! That was a big surprise this morning; I'm super thrilled and so glad you enjoyed it!
Also thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes! :)
Movin' again o:
I've been living outside of Seattle since September, and just got everything approved and set up to go sign the lease at a new place in the city on Wednesday! It's a one-bedroom and a little smaller than my current place, but it has a dog run on the roof (which is awesome for safety at late hours), and I get to live on the 9th floor, which will be awesome for getting over my fear of heights! I've got relatives coming out to visit in early July, then I'm going back to Pennsylvania a bit for my mom's birthday (and because I love PA in the summer), and then my parents are coming out to stay with me for a bit before The International 5 tourname
