Two of my pieces were on display this week at a local fair! Every year, they have an art exhibit and judges judge the art, giving out ribbons to winners. I entered my drawings of Gideon (who is a German Shepherd mix that belongs to =
Christianonfire7) and Matthew Gray Gubler.


Unfortunately, Gideon did not place. However, my drawing of Matthew Gray Gubler got first place in the "Pen/Pencil" Portrait & Character Sketching category!
I admit, it felt really great to see people walk by in amazement as they looked at my work. As William Turner stated in
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl:
"A craftsman is always pleased to hear his work is appreciated." 
On to other news...
I feel like I have been soo terribly inactive here on dA, and I feel awful about it. And school starts for me on Monday, which makes things worse. I have three days left of freedom and I still have a load of stuff to finish. I feel like I got very little accomplished this summer except for what few drawings I managed to get done. :C
and I didn't even convert Into Depp to Wordpress, which I'm seriously torn over. That was the ONE thing I wanted to do, and it looks like that will be a winter break project. Uunless I have some time during the school year to start what will be a
very grueling process.

and I never got the chance to start my Victor series! Sigh.
At least Victoresque is nearing completion... I will probably be spending the next week or two dividing my time between school, finishing Victoresque, and finishing up with drawing John Wayne.
Hopefully I can manage to squeeze in the AJ Cook drawing as well. Hopefully before the new Criminal Minds season starts, which is September 21. I am so bloody EXCITED about that!!! It's going to be awesome having AJ and Paget back.

ALSO. I never thought I would find another band/singer as awesome as Coldplay but John Ondrasik (Five for Fighting) comes pretty close. <3 Once I get the spare money, I will most definitely buy all of the music I can of his.
That's all for now. I'll be writing here again this weekend once the trailers for
The Rum Diary and
The Hunger Games are released.
