So, I've been doing plenty of stuff, it's just that a.) it's all been for school and b.) it's been pretty much crap.
But since I have the summer to do some artwork that's outside of school, I've been keeping an art journal of one drawing per day.
Nothing too fancy, and I only started it a few days ago, but it'll be the main place I'll be doing drawings... I'll try to photograph some stuff from school and things for here, but otherwise I may just disappear..again.

Anyway, happy trails.

First of all:
Yes, you know you want to -- [link]
Anyone who takes the challenge, and succeeds... well, I'll do some art for you. How about that?
Which means I already owe Bram something, I'm sure


And second of all, Oxy tagged me. And as much as I loathe being tagged, I can't sleep and am bored, so here it goes.

<Rules>
1. Post these rules
2. Each person tagged must post 8 random (hopefully interesting) facts about themselves
3. Tags should write a journal of these facts
4. At the end of the post, 8 more bloggers are tagged and named
5. Go to their page and leave a comment telling them that they're tagged.
6. Make the last one embarrassing and/or shocking. Please, nothing nasty.
</Rules>

1. Because I transfered and PSU's art major is about three times as intensive as UPS's, I'll probably need to take another year.
2. This is actually my third year writing for NaNoWriMo, but it's my fourth book... Fifth, including the (not-yet-done) colab I'm doing with Ash. I am in no way a wonderful writer, but I do enjoy it as much as doing artwork.
3. I actually really... really hate painting. If I never paint again, save for watercoloring, for the rest of my life, I will be content. Painting on the computer, different story. But, I just... hate.. painting! Haha!
4. I grew up on a ranch. Yep. Doesn't really seem to fit my personality, but I definitely spent a good part of my young(er) life with animals such as cows, geese, goats, chickens, ducks, and pigs. And even a donkey, once.
5. I haven't done an AF comic in more than a year. Not an entirely good sign, I understand.
6. Talking on the phone with people terrifies me. I am just that socially awkward. Even though I love my friends to death, I will find every excuse possible to avoid calling them back. It's terrible, I know... but it's just one of my quirks.
7. Even though I wanted to live in Japan before even going there, I'm kind of wondering if I still do. Loved, LOVED the time I was there. But could I really live there? Still trying to figure that one out.
8. I am still afraid of the dark. There, are you happy?

I'll try to name eight people, though it may be difficult.

and... I dunno, whoever else cares to go. But be forewarned: I don't do tags... or rarely do, I guess. Please don't be surprised if I coldly ignore you if you tag me.


As usual, I promise to photograph some art soon. I actually have to take some for class, so I might just roll it all together at once. We'll see.
Okay, time for sleep and things like that.

I'll be taking off for Japan at around 6:30am tomorrow.
I cannot keep still.
Hopefully I'll bring back lots of pictures and exciting things. Hopefully I'll be able to post some things up here while I'm there.
Dunno whatelse to say.

Be back around the end of August

In 18 days, I'll be on a plane to Japan.
I just don't know what to do with myself.
Grades were posted a little while ago. I got an A in Japanese Art History, an A+ in Painting, and a flat B in Japanese Writing. I'm not terribly surprised about the B, but I'm kind of mad at myself for not getting a B+. I worked hard, really.
I'm just not destined to be good at this language.
But, once I get back, I'll be able to school everyone in my class.

(hopefully)

I'll catch up again before I leave. Hopefully by then I'll have gotten up off of my lazy butt and taken pictures of all the stuff I've done over this year.

I feel the need to pimp my art.

Adrian's mom, Holly, introduced me to the concept of doing really itty-bitty pieces of artwork (2.5 x 3.5" to be exact) and selling them on ebay. Apparently, it's a rather large community and I'm surprised I hadn't heard of it before. So, of course, what else do Kus do when they're excited? They jump right in.

So I made one, and it's on auction until Sunday. It's one of maybe 5 in a series about people representing fruit.
Curious?

Beginning bid is just a small $0.99.

The main thrill of this is making little pieces. It's really fun.
And the prospect of making money... especially since I got accepted into the Japanese summer program over at Waseda Daigaku, and I need money... bad. I don't want to have to ask my parents for it again, though I really doubt that ebaying my art is going to pay off the entire tuition. I mean, seriously.
Anyway...

Oh, and yeah, I'm still alive. Writing a journal just didn't take my fancy for the last four months, apparently. I may be uploading some new work soon (hopefully).

Ku, over and out.
