Dance is one of the few last frontiers of things i'm really interested in, but haven't explored that much. It's such a beautiful thing, and as an artist, visual, martial, and musical, i feel compelled to learn this performing art well.

Unfortunately on top of school, and working out, my two dance classes are really adding an extra physical burden. Oh well, at least it's showing, my abs are shredded now.

I was ill for 4-5 years, and i played alot of games to pass the time and forget about the pain. That's a long story in of itself, but WoW was my first and only mmo.

Gaming isn't my favorite thing to do, but if i was labeled a gamer, i'd be called a 'competitive gamer.' This means i revel in besting others, usually in a player vs player environment. I enjoy a coop now and then, but at heart i thrive in competition.

WoW is definitely successful because it appeals to so many people. Most are just casual junkies who chat alot and do some adventuring. For my friends and me, it was about pwnin nubs, trashtalking, and rising to the top, and then rising to the top with handicaps. A nice hangout on ventrilo to bullshit about life and make fun of each other, and plenty of prey to annihilate in game, was the main draw of WoW.

The game got stale though, and required too much time, and my improving physical health meant it was time to move on, to pick up school, fitness, and everything else where i left it off 5 years ago.

I hope my WoW buds keep in touch, theyre funny guys, like guys you'd go out drinking with, or play ball with.

been a while, but i'm glad to be painting again.

I always wanted to be skilled at illustration, because since a child i loved creating things in my mind: big killer robots, battlefields, knights, lusty maidens, dragons, etc. I have an eye of appreciation for abstract art, but it's just not my thing.

Abstract art is usually expression of the mind/ soul, with provocative imagery. While interesting, i would rather stare at an immersive illustration, vividly depicting a story or world the artist created. All it takes is one painting, and i can think for a long time, fantasizing a backstory, a world setting, and a conflict. An entire tale can be told in one picture, and revisiting the picture from time to time revises that tale.

To me that is far more interesting than abstract art, and i hope to become a vivid illustrator of the plethora of tales i have thought of and yet to think of.
