- - - and I'll see you guys again in... what... six months maybe. That seems to be my current pattern of behavior. Well, I am still working, just very slowly and highly distracted. Of course, I'm always full of ideas that I want to do, but no time and/or energy. But I'm also very distracted with irrelevant drawings and sketchings (which I can definitely filter through and find gallery worthy stuff) that clutters up my imagination and won't stop bugging me until I actually manifest it on paper.
But good things have been happening. My husband is finally in an HR position for a company and has finally found his happiness and I have applied for graduation, thus I will finally have a bachelors in art history by December.
I've been looking at what I do here, and I think I've realized that I'll probably never be a "professional" artist, but it is the thing that makes me happiest in the end
And I will always keep working and learning on my own time; at my own pace.

Well, Hello again in the new year
Well, January has been a pile of suck so far. Well, maybe that's a little unfair. I'm in my first quarter at UW and it's looking up since I should have my BA by next year. I'm just really sleepy all the time now from the combination of early mornings every day, making the days long, and terribly cold Northwest weather, so things are getting to me a lot more easily. Plus some other curve balls being thrown, but what else is new. It is part of life.
But all that is important is that I am still producing art. I've been working more on rendering and finding ways to improve my time and efficiency so that I can keep on pumping it out while still k
Guess Who's Back From the Dead
I really have to stop this bad habit, though my husband and I both had to deal with our own freak out moments throughout the year and it's really hard to want to do anything when you're losing your mind depressed or stressed. That's all passed for now and I can say that in my absence I have had some pretty significant artistic epiphanies that I feel have vastly improved my skills and production efficiency and I am very excited about that. But most of all, I need to train myself to be sure to follow through on anything, whether it be comments, requests, or real life arrangements and not let things sneak up on me and pass me by.
I have also ap
Time to Update
So it's been a while since my last journal entry.
My first Halloween in my new home was amazing, though I think I've finally managed to recuperate from that weekend. I did work that night, but the city I live in and the theater I work at is amazing. I work at an 88 year old single screen theater that is privately owned, so we get to do many fun things that the chains don't get the luxury or authorization to do. We did a Halloween mini film festival along with our normal film. Friday night we played "Rocky Horror Picture Show." The true horror was the clean-up job afterward. Saturday night we played "Beetlejuice" and Sunday afternoon we pla
New Journal by Mara
Journal titles suck.
Anyway, PAX in Seattle was awesome! We've admired the Penny Arcade crew for years and are so happy that we can now regularly attend now that we are Washingtonians. This was my husbands first convention and my eighth. It was a great learning experience for both of us, especially since we are new to this place. Now I'm really looking forward to Sakura-con in April. We had very early mornings (for the sake of parking) which was rough, but very worth it. On Saturday, as miserable as it was, we sat in line for two hours in direct afternoon sunlight to watch the Acquisitions, Inc. Dungeon and Dragons game that the boys play ev

No worries. I still check in here from time to time myself. I'll look forward to anything you have to post. I can relate. I've not posted anything in a long time and while I haven't exactly not been arting I'm just too distracted to filter through what I've done long enough to post any of it on my art Tumblr. Break a leg with your graduation!
