Yeah, everybody probably thought I was dead by now, but I'm not. I just kinda left without telling anyone, my bad, sorry about that. Probably most of my friends are long gone from here too so this post is mostly for myself I guess, but here we go anyway. Well first of all, a lot has changed since the last time I logged on here. I'm a business owner of two divisions, which is pretty awesome, but eats up a lot of my time. I still live with the same people I did last time, in the same awfully crappy house that is falling apart and nobody cares to fix. I've gotten seven more tattoos since I posted the pictures of the last ones. I still never finished the two remaining years of my program but nobody cares so hey, let's have fun and enjoy life! I'm a published author now as well, my dream finally came true! I still take photographs and play around with digital art mediums, but I highly doubt that I'll be adding very many deviations in the future. That doesn't mean that I won't be around the site, because I will, after all I came back didn't I?!

But my art career is pretty much over. Terminated at my own hand, because I wanted to. I switched to arts of a different kind, and that's artisan jewelry which I have been very successful in getting to 15 foreign countries. Sure, I can post up a few things once things get settled at my end. Bottom line is that I wouldn't consider myself to be the same person I was when I signed up for this site almost four years ago now. Although I must say that some of my best times were spent here within the art community and I'm not giving up on any of you guys soon. There's just going to be a sort of change in management. So what's y'all been up to in my absence?

A LOT of things happened in 2013 to say the least. I'd say it was equally good and bad, bur that the good outweighs the bad all to nothing. Got kicked out of two houses... had a sweet love and I lost it.... but found one that's even better. Quit school in my 4th year but joined a different program. Got in touch with long lost people but lost touch with some that I love. Barely made any new art but reminisced about the good old days since 2011. Can you believe I will be starting my 4th year on here? I have no idea where that time went, but I don't doubt that it was time well spent. I didn't work on my book project AT ALL but found out that I had written 5 chapters in 2012 instead of the 3 and a half that I remembered. Blame it on the whiskey because I just haven't been around this year.

Met some nice people and some really nasty people, lived in nice places and some really nasty places. The nasty people generally accompany the nasty places.... Got really serious about making jewelry and my artisan jeweler company really took off, and I'm expecting even more success in 2014 with that. I'd been dabbling on the professional artisan market for quite some time and this time I took is seriously. It paid off, literally! I might have lost touch with certain types of art, but I think I found my true passion, which is making artisan crafts. After three years of searching, you would think that I found it by now. Well now I did.... as ironic as that might've sounded.

I could ramble on all night into the new year but I think that my story is history. I don't think that the past matters so much anymore. It's important to know where you came from but not as much as knowing where you're going. That's probably the most important thing I leaned this year, and I don't doubt that my future art will reflect that. Don't just think about how far you have to go, but how far you've come. You might not be where you want to be, but you are mightier than where you used to be. I've never looked forward to the future so much.

Happy New Year 2014!

I just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and happy New Year 2014! Looking back at this year, words just cannot express how thankful I am to have had the opportunities presented to me. This year, 2013, is the year that brought the most changes (good ones) to my life and I am very grateful that all of you have been here by my side the whole time always supporting me. Thank you!

First of all, I owe you all an apology. I'M SORRY! Things didn't exactly go "according to plan" with my return. Two months of useless crap later, hello. I'm not stuck living in a dingy apartment building and I didn't get internet until this morning. I hope y'all can understand this girl's been through hell and back in my absence. Didn't even have email access. How wonderful! But you know what? I'd say 98% of the problem is solved. However, I still haven't wrapped my head around such a quick change of lifestyle so fast. If you haven't heard, let me catch you up....

I dropped out of university, in my 4th year of 5! And I'm going back come January semester. I finally moved out of that disgusting house I lived in and moved back in with my grandma. I've been busy taking care of her to say the least. I hate my landlord but the neighbor is one of the greatest people I've ever met and we are very close. He's been mentoring me when it comes to SLR photography. I've lost my touch and I'm just starting to get back at it. I haven't written a single word for my book, but it's not scrapped! I've been dabbling in portraiture as well despite the fact that I haven't even finished uploading some artwork from two years ago!

While I'm catching up on old art, I've created Redneck-With-A-Rifle for some newer and more up-to-date stuff. However, this account is still very much active, and I hope things can go my way for once in my life... Oh yeah, been thinking of donating my hair to the Breast Cancer Foundation of my country. And I dare you to do the same! I'll reply to all the notifications sometime in the future and once again, I'm sorry!

As you can all see, I haven't been around very much in recent times but my personal life has just been crazy! Not necessarily in a bad way, but it's certainly been draining! Don't worry y'all, I'm ALWAYS going to be here! I still have plenty of art to upload, which I will be doing in the months coming up. I need to catch up with myself but I also have plenty of art waiting in my Sta.sh until I finally take the time to submit it. But otherwise I wanted to thank everyone who wished my a happy birthday! I had a great day, not very eventful but certainly a birthday to remember! Thank you all again!

I guess there isn't much to say right now apart that I am just in the process of moving yet again (3 times in 3 years, so sick and tired) and getting a second tattoo on July 19th! I'm not saying more about it until it's done, you'll see it then. For those anxious deviants who have been following my book's progress I have some disappointing news for you; it won't be finished in 2013. I took on way too many projects that I can handle right now and while I WILL finish it and publish it in the future, you'll have to wait until 2014. I have a good portion of it written already, but I need to get other things done first.

For the ones who haven't heard the news yet, I am not returning to school in the fall. I have finished my year but I now know beyond any sort of doubt that this is not the program for me. I still haven't decided if I'm going to pursue anything else but for now I am taking a year off to get back in touch with myself. I need to, because I don't remember where I left my mind!! I am confident I will find it, however. Until then, I hope all of you will stay devious until my return!
