Hey!
Still super busy with school and work, but I have actually had time to do some artwork! I was asked if I could custom-paint a Gameboy for my boyfriend's friend and I decided to take on the challenge (even though I have never done anything like it before). In taking that challenge, I have found a new love of airbrush and paint pens! I will post up photos of my paint pen practice doodles and process photos when I have some more time.

I hope everyone is doing well! See you again soon!

Whew. The past two weeks have been busy! I finished one class and have a short week or two break until the next half-semester class starts. The other two are full-semester and I just got over that midterm hump!

I have a little mini-project (commission?) that I have been working on between schoolwork and work-work. I'll upload photos of it when it is all done (it's artsy)!

When I have some more time at home, I will upload some more of my commercial/product photography, which is perfect since Halloween is just around the corner!

I keep hoping that I can produce some new stuff, but it might be a while until I have time to. So, for now, I will just continue to upload old stuff until I am all caught up!

Here is some information about the photo series I have been working on uploading!

Not too far away from one of the main highways here is what used to be the "old highway 89." Off that road, there was a beautiful house made back in, I believe, the 70s. Past that house were two much smaller farmhouses, what looked like could have been a workshop, a barn, storage area, and horse stalls. There were also two or three trailer homes. This area was enormous. I have been there twice, about a year or two apart. The first time, the graffiti was minimal. What was there was more "artistic." There were poems, flowers, people, animals. It was nice. The home was still in somewhat decent shape for being vandalized (broken windows, broken kitchen appliances). The second time I went is when this series was born. However, that visit made me sad. The graffiti was no longer "tasteful," but gang tangs, personal tags, drawn over the original artistic stuff, devil-worshipping stuff was on the walls; it was not the same. Vandals had further broken the house down and tossed trash everywhere. I fell in love with that house my first visit. If the land hadn't been sold to a home development agency in California (yes, I did some digger on the area), I was seriously considering finding a way to purchase the dilapidated home to renovate it. 

I noticed a few months ago while driving on the now-highway-89 that it appeared the main house, the one I fell in love with, had been completely torn down to the ground and cleared away. Nothing has been done to replace it. I felt my heart break. The house had probably gotten so bad that it became a big liability if anyone were to get hurt in it. The smaller houses, like the one that the tree fell through, might still be there. I'm not entirely sure since you couldn't see them well from the "new" highway.

So, that's a short little rundown of the area. I loved it, had to go back to photograph it, and managed to capture it in photos for eternity.

As for the equipment I used, I used my Panasonic camera that has been converted to an infrared camera. The original photos are in hues of blues and oranges. Some photos look great just like that, but most I have gone into photoshop to remove the "raw" color that the photos were shot in to give them that trademark "black and white infrared" look. I had played around the with camera before on occasion, but this was the first time I REALLY got out and used it.

Hopefully you guys enjoy the photos as much as I enjoyed taking them. I'm hoping to be able to find a new place to take my infrared camera to. <3

Just as a note to anyone who read it and followed it, I am currently revising it what I have so far. I reread it and - my god - it was bad. I forgot to add details, it was confusing in spots, and relationships/friendships formed way too quickly! I'm working on adding new content to the chapters I already have in order for the story to make sense. I'm still not entirely sure where I want to go with it, but I'd love to hear any ideas from those who followed it.

If anything was confusing, or you thought could be elaborated on, let me know! Or, if there are any scenarios you think would be funny/dramatic, also let me know and I'll consider them! I still am unsure where I want Jade to go: Kenny, Craig, someone else??? Autumn I know I want to obsess over Cartman, but, at this point, I don't plan for anything to blossom from their strained acquaintance.

So yeah. I do plan on re-uploading everything as I go and moving what I have uploaded now into "scraps" as they will just be my rough draft.

So I'm Core again. Woo. Maybe this will help keep me active. Xp I missed my page looking pretty.
