Here is the finished drawing of Acacia. Enjoy!

Here's the latest progress on my drawing of Acacia. I will post the finished drawing by the end of the week, along with the progress of a new one.





The camera caught the glare of the light so the shoes are really alot darker. I was in a rush lol.

These are the two latest that are in the works. I'll post the progress soon. Thankyou both for your support. You keep me inspired.

Yet another drawing...enjoy!

This is my most current work, Caprica Suicide and Acacia Suicide. It's a picture of a drawing so it looks alittle different than the original. Any way......Enjoy

I have a crap load of drawing I need to do, and I've been tasked out to paint a huge friggin' rock outside Westpoint, NY. I'm artisticaly draind at the moment. Someone inspire me please.

Also here's another Masuimi Max I did when I was still in Iraq. I drew it just after a guard shift. Enjoy.

I think I'm going to become a hermit and live in the woods. I can't stand drama anymore. I thaught dating was a trial thing. You know, you go out with someone and have as much fun as you can and if it doesn't work out you both move on. If you don't feel something for someone than there's no reason to stick around in a relationshit! How can someone create so much drama over 3 weeks? I don't feel anything anymore. Not for anyone. What happend to me? Am I wrong in thinking this way? I've been able to get over the one I really liked cause she's happy with her new guy. Good for her. Now where do I go to get a new start? Can I find the right girl or should I stop trying all together? I guess I'm stuck in my own weird mood now. I'll get over it all by the end of the week. In the mean time I have some wicked drawings I'm working on. I'll post them soon.

As I'm looking back through pictures and drawings that I've done, I can't help but think how my life has changed. I was a happy kid growing up. I played ball on the street with friends and I had hobbies such as drawing, building models and rockets. I once built a hot air balloon, it drifted high into the air, and I never saw it again. Haha. I always learned by doing and rarley by reading about it. I've never been the type to be able to retain knowlege from what I've read. I envy those who can. When I got to high school level, I became detatched from my peers. I honestly believe that I just matured faster than they did. I needed to challenge myself but I wasn't sure how to do it. I droped out of high school and started working odd jobs. It wasn't the smartest move, but at the same time I don't regret it. I honestly don't regret anything in my life. I was coaxed by my cousin to visit a Roman Catholic monastery. My cousin was and still is a brother of the order of St. Benedict. I did all sorts of things while I was there. I worked in the field and in the house. I learnd how to do landscapeing, cooking, cleaning, and repair work such as carpentry. I played sports and climbed mountains. I earned my GED and later took college classes such as Latin, psychology, history of philosophy, and history of music. When I left it was because I felt I had another purpose in life. I still didn't know how to challenge myself. I worked more odd jobs such as meat cutting at a local grocery store. It was there that I was approached by an Army recruter. A little side note to anyone reading this, If ever approached by a recruter...RUN! Haha, but seriously I don't regret doing that either. I'm now in the Infantry and have done more in the past two years than most have done in a life time. I found out while in basic that I have three forms of scoliosis. I'm twisted like the Euphrates river. haha. I developed an open wound from wearing the gear and ruck marching around Gods creation. I found ways to get by. I put pading in my protective armor and I took alot of pain killers. Just before I deployed to Iraq I broke my right ankle. I was told that it would delay me deployment so I left after the exam and never returned for a follow up. Luckily it was contained in the joint so I realy didn't need a cast. I bought a cane from Walmart and drove on. In Kuait I started running again. By the time I got to Iraq I was good to go. I've done alot in my 15 months over there. Too much to get into now, but I will say that my eyes are open to the cruelty of men. After being back for afew months, it's become my 1 priority to get out of the army and go to school for art. I can't stress enough how those around me have helped influence my decision. My former Comander and First Sargent are very suportive of my decision to get out and go to school. I believe the future holds alot for me. I think Arizona sounds pretty good for school but my options are still wide open. I'm willing to go any where for school. Only time will tell.

I'm bored so I'm going to write for alittle bit....I can't wait to get out of the Infantry. I've been in for only 2 1/2 years, but that's enough for me. For those who don't know, I'm being medicaly discharged from the army. I served a 15 month deployment to Iraq. I lived on the banks of the Euphrates river in the village of Qarghuli. I should be out by June. After that it's off to Art school for me. I plan on going to Arizona State University next spring. I've never been to Arizona before but I'm pretty sure that I'll like it from what I've heard about it. I can't wait to be a civilian again. Anyway, later all....like anyone would read this. Hahahahaha...why am I laughing?
