Hey everyone, I'm going to be gone for a while. The motherboard for my laptop died recently, so for now I'm limited to accessing the internet from the library. Sucks, I know, but I should have a new laptop soon, so I'll update when I return 
In other news, I have recently rediscovered my love for painting traditionally on canvas. I bought new brushes and am enjoying using acrylic paint immensely. It seems much cheaper then using Prisma color pencils, and ends with a similar result in my opinion. I think I'll be using this medium for a while, it's so cool!
New brushes that I am exploring are the round brush, and the fan brush. Both seem very different from the brush type I was originally used to, which is the flat brush. This is opening up new worlds to me, and the prestige of painting the same way as the old masters did is also a very special treat. So awesome!

Learning Blender
I was surprised to see that most of the tutorials at 3DBuzz are now subscription based, which is a bummer. I'm contemplating becoming a member of the Blender Cloud, so that I can access official tutorials to learn Blender more efficiently. I know that I can always go back to Maya, which is what I originally used for my modeling, but I just have this burning desire to learn Blender so that I can always have an open-source program available to me for my art needs.
I'm hoping that I can really do something with this software, as I've seen some truly amazing works by people who used it. I remember feeling put to shame actually, that someone usin
Finding new jobs
As I mentioned previously, I'm currently thinking about putting in my two-weeks notice and looking for a new job, and have turned up a few interviews. I actually have one scheduled later today at 9am, but after reading reviews about the job from sites like glassdoor and indeed, I've lost my interest in the interview. I think I'll still go anyway, to see if I can network myself with other people who will be attending, or, who knows, maybe the interviewer will surprise me with what the job actually involves.
In other news, I'm going to try designing some graphic resumes to use in future jobs. I may or may not share my templates, we'll see! =)
Tired of Wal-Mart
I've been working for Wal-Mart for the past 3 years, and am thinking of moving on finally. Things that have caught my eye are courier jobs with the USPS or FedEX, but we'll see what is available. I'm still not confident yet in my abilities to start taking commissions or doing graphic design work, but who knows, maybe in the future that will change ^^
Back home
After 8 days, Dad and I were finally able to return home, having evacuated during Hurricane Florence. By the time we got here, power and water had already been restored, and there was no major damage to our home. We did have a collapsed floor in one of the rooms, and some damage to the roof, but we'll take it and be happy. It is so good to be home, safe and sound!!!
In the coming months we'll work on repairing our home, and doing our best to rebuild and return to normalcy. Some people were not as lucky as us, as a few homes had collapsed trees on them, and some people lost their lives. I'm definitely taking this as a learning experience on j
