I haven't updated my dA in YEARS!! I'm thinking I should totally get back to it. I just can't post things I do at my job, and I don't like to post things that I've done for freelance...quite the predicament, lol. I'm trying to get back into the habit of sketching, drawing, and painting again. I just couldn't find any time for it because of my job. I also bought a new watercolor set, and a shiny Wacom! so...expect some art....soon....yeah...

would really appreciate it if you guys respond to this post. I know that, ultimately, I am the one that has to make the final decision, but I would greatly appreciate some input on the subject matter...

Grad School vs. Job
Which one sounds more appealing? (I guess...I dunno)

~ Apply to school (for Fall 2009)
~ Stay with current job for a second year in order to save up money for grad school
~ Get another job (in the US) in order to save up money for grad school
~ Apply to school (Fall 2009) AND apply for a part time/freelancing gig
~ Go to Japan (actually -- I kinda want to do that after grad school)
~ Get another job in PR and stick to it until I have enough money to go.

I want to go back to school, but I don't know when the right time will be. I definitely don't have money right now to fund my Masters, and I'm probably going to have to take out yet another loan (hurray...). I'm too young to be all tied up with these loans. I don't want to wait more than 5 years because I don't know if I'll even would want to go back.

I'm looking into getting my Masters in Industrial Design at RISD...making Pratt my second choice. Those are the only 2 schools that I want to get into.

I don't know what to do. It's not like I can email my advisor from college. I don't even know if he remembers me...not to mention that I am an "adult" now...I should be able to make my own decisions or something...

I kinda even have a few things 'planned' as to whether or not I decide to go to grad school for the next term. If I get into RISD, I want to see if I can finish my Japanese minor at Brown. Or at least pick up Japanese again. I found this design firm that I could apply to so that I can freelance or something.

Fuck....I dunno...

help!!!

I'm unemployed....bah. All I do is send resumes and portfolios to job postings day and night, work on my website, and post on forums. I can't even get a retail job around where I live.

I had an interview to teach English in Japan, but at the time I was so overwhelmed with work and graduation that I declined. Technically I blew it with that. I could apply again and I'm sure I'll get the interview again, except that I don't know when. I think I might try for it again when I finish grad school, and I'm already waiting like 2 - 3 years before grad school. As a graphic designer, it's recommended to get experience first before going off to grad school. And I think it's a good idea too....

BLAH!

Since when do you have my permission to move my COMPLETED deviations to the SCRAPS pile. Do *you* think it's shitty? Well let me tell you something, look at all the crap ass fan-fucking-art people make about fucking Naruto and other anime and video games. It's not even an original creation!!!!

Could you KINDLY move back my deviations to its original classification. I was under the impression that things in the Scrap pile where things still in the process of getting made.

Also, I haven't gotten my check from that ONE print that a user bought. I paid $25 for that stupid account. I would at least appreciate getting sent the 15 miserable cents that you would pay me back. Fuck me senseless, I thought that those $25 were going to get paid off eventually. I seriously feel bad for my parents, who at the time helped me get those $25. We needed money on the side and I suggested to sell my prints and be an art whore....but it WASN'T WORTH IT! Nothing pays off!!

I'd like to conclude this by reminding you to move back my 2 deviations from the scraps to the submitted entries. Not only did you move it without MY permission, but you didn't give me ANY reason for you to move it.

How rude. I'd like to remind you that it's my art, I do what I want with it. And I respect other artists too, unlike the one person in your staff who was apparently caught stealing users work, pathetic.

Signed,
