  I'm hoping to produce a lot more art this year than the last 4yrs.
my little's one is 4 1/2 and I do a lot with her, also my other 2 which are a lot older and can't leave out my lovely wife. Family first. 
  
   I remember being in a DR. office and I c'n some beautiful pic's hanging around. I asked who's art work and they where the secretaries art. 
  
  So we started talking about her art and me being an artist. Come to find out, she told me she has quit doing her art.  
  I asked why, she pretty much told me, kids, life, just to busy, no time. 
  
   I couldn't just quit, I had  @ age of 17, close to when I got out of school. Well, I kinda made a vow to myself when I started back up @ the age of 30 to not quit like I did before, but I have slown down a good amount, due to a new family member, life.   
  
  I wanted to be there for my little ones needs, not just put it on my wife, but be a loving father, husband and enjoyed the time, and will still enjoy much more time with her along with all the others I'm surrounded with.

   In time, a child can do more and if you got one like mine, kinda wants to start becoming little independent. LOL! 
  So I have been able to take some of my sketches worked on throughout the last few yrs and last 6 month doing more with them. I'm gaining the ability to do more with more time. 
 
  I don't really have much of a following, but to those that have been fav'in these new pic's I recently added  and pressing on the watch button, well, thank you so very much. It truly means a lot to me. I ask that you stay tuned in, If all keeps going, I have more to come that I hope you will enjoy. 
  Oh, and the llama, much appreciation for those cute furry things. 

 So, to all my jibbery jabbery, I'm really trying to bring a point, that I'm sure you all know, but it doesn't hurt to just share for encouragement to anyone that is going through busy times, so busy that you aren't getting to draw much, just keep going. Even If you only can draw 20 min one day and 35 min next day, shoot, even 10 min,  just keep doing what you can. It all trains your membrain. 

  If you are self teaching, keep on. You will get better and better as time goes on. I'm self taught, not that I'm here trying to impose that I'm great or anything, It's that  continuing even when it was here and there it has helped me fill that void I have a passion for. 
  Just don't be like the secretary (hope she started back up again), do it for your hearts passion, and if you don't get fav's, or comments, O well, just keep doing it. It is part of you. It's not about what others think all the way, but you.                      
  I cherish all art work, especially those that are self taught, seeing a person when they start out to what they are doing when they get that job creating concept everything. 
  I don't really care if I get a big job for my art, as long as I'm able to create, I'm filling that void.  
                     
                                                 Remember          
                           Slow Progress, Is Better Than No Progress.

I have both books that I have been wanting in my library, not that I have a big library, but  HOW TO DRAW AND HOW TO RENDER are a must for me I fill. Especially for a guy that can't afford to go to art school.

 I have had HOW TO DRAW  for some time now, just took forever to get serious because of my issues in the past. But here in the last 6 months I've been going at it, learning all kinds of forms and methods of creating boxes, weather in perspective or just flat boxes. There is so much more to learn from these books that will help make your art better. I think they give the foundation part and the corner stone at the end. If you have the chance, I strongly recommend these books. I'm far from a good artist, but I know a great art book when I see one, these art great.

I have finally been awakened. I have always battled God and gone the other direction. The road away from JEHOVAH has always brought me trouble. Weather being close to death or possibly being behind bars. These things were right in front of me, could have happened, but I must say that the ppl that truly love me have spent their time praying for me. Back in August I got into a fight with a big man, and I was not in the state of mind to be fighting. My jaw was broken. I had to go through 2 surgeries and work my way through the withdraws of pain med's. It has been vary hard and I'm still having trouble to this day with pain and head aches. There have been so much chaos in my life that should have woken me, but I was stubborn and it has taken a broke jaw to wake me up. The reason I'm sharing this is that I do believe in a Creator, I have always believed and of course doubt has always been in my mind as well. But when I look back at my life, I have to say I have seen the invisible force working in my life and wished I would have straitened up back then. But this is now not then. So I'm ready for the walk of a new man.

       I do have a talent, drawing has been something I've done since I was a little kid. I love to draw, it gives me time to chill, think, meditate. I have been drawing much more in the last 6 months, it feels great. Working on form, strait lines and shading. This is what I'm to do, and this is what I will focus on instead of my past sinful ways. I have so much peace within my soul that I can focus and get things done. I thank JEHOVAH GOD for allowing me to live, so that I may bring glory to His name. 

      So, if you are reading this and have not given God a chance, then I ask you to call upon Him. Study his word. Read of His son Christ Jesus. What is so bad about a man that does nothing but good to ppl. Why must the world hate this good, why. Christ came that we may except him as our Lord that we may have everlasting life. I don't know about you, but I want to live forever, not the other way around. 

   I hope to get to know you through this site. I hope to see your awesome art work. I believe awesome is not wether everyone likes it but what you put into it. This is what is awesome to me. Lets do the best we can with what has been given to us. I know that I'm going to be doing a lot, for I am a new man.

Been a while since I've written anything in my journal. No Internet and phone service is laggy. Not that I really care to put much on here do to ppl not really into my page. Not like its really poppin at the moment. Since no internet connect I haven't been uploading my drawings. But I have been sittin on my hands. I got a book by Scott Robertson How to Draw and have been studying it. It is so awesome. I strongly recommend it to get better drawing technique. Also I have gotten the book by Scott Robertson THE SKILLFUL HUNTSMEN. Shows some awesome techniques on how to create thumbnails and the processes to finished characters. These thumbnails as I mentioned are characters as well as weapons, vehicles, landscapes and cities. I love both of these books. So if you are reading this and don't have these books look into them.  Till next time. Peace.

I was hoping to wake up and see my maker, but I quickly realised I was still in my bed as I opened my Eyes. I thought to myself, this is kinda like heaven to me, but then I got up and relised I was still on earth when my knee, ankle and toes popped. Maybe the next end of the world prophecy we can see Him, if not sooner.http:
