Alo there.
It's been quite a while since I've done anything on this site. Mostly because I've been handling real life things like planning to see a really good friend, helping to take care of my parents and such stuff. But I also started a new blog: The Secret Life of Autism.
I'll hook a link off to the side along with the other blogs I run and follow.
In any case, as the title of this post told you, it's officially my 28th birthday.
Considering they way the economy has been going lately, I wasn't expecting much in the way of gifts. I mean, normally I just get money and I either buy food or spend it on going to the movies or something like that.
This year turned out different as I actually got some really cool things.
One of those things is the Bamboo Create: Pen & Touch. I've heard that a lot of graphic design students use things like that. Even a younger cousin of mine who likes art got one recently for his birthday. I was more than shocked to see that.
Normally, as most can tell by my previous drawings, a very traditional artist using graphite and colored pencils. So I had no clue how to use this thing at all. Seriously, this is the first item I own that comes with a stylus.
So, I figured why not just learn by trial and error and see what kind of artwork I can come up with. Well, I think I even surprised myself. I may not be the top of the line yet. One look through some of the art on DA and I know that. But maybe I can slowly get better over time and become a better artist. That's all I can hope for.
Anywho, nuff of the verbal, time for the visual. Hope you enjoy.
