I've been so busy for most of the year that I haven't had any time for much art. To quickly recap this year:
-I was promoted in March

-I graduated in May with an Associates of Graphic Design and I am hoping (fingers crossed) that I can finish up my bachelors starting next year.

-I went to Anime Wichita Festival 7 in late June through early July which was a lot of fun. Got to meet Eric Vale and Troy Baker who is an extremely awesome dude. Eric Vale is too of course.
-I moved to my own little house late July which was exciting and oh so new.
-My poor car that I've had for many a year may no longer be in working condition since November so I have been driving a temporary car. I'll probably have to buy a new one.
-I turned 27 on Decemember 3rd.
-Corporate people came for a visit on Wednesday. I was extremely stressed out over it but now it's over with and I did better this time around than last time. The store as a whole did better too. I'm very happy and relieved.

-Two days ago my roommate was in a car accident. She's fine but understandably upset. The car is going to need some work before it is usable so I'm having to take her to work and my temp car might be going on our trip instead which is cool. I'm just glad she's fine but it's more money we'll have to put out for stuff.
-Christmas shopping is done!
-And lastly from December 30-Jan 1st I will be in Austin,TX for Ikkicon IV. Jerry Jewel will be there and I managed to (finally) finish my Russia painting for him to sign. Technically it's just going to the roomie because I made it for her in the first place but I think having him sign it will make it even more amazing for her.
I look forward to the next year which will hopefully be full of more art. I've been so stressed most of this year and I haven't had the time. I need to make time for it and I will. I'll make an early New Year resolution to do more art and to continue to improve in it.
