Who I Am

Hobbies
I am an art major and draw often, I am driven to improve my skills drastically and practice daily. Usually I am at my computer, drawing on Photoshop while watching Firefly, Breaking Bad, or any Studio Ghibli film. I also game a lot, most of my money goes towards new video or console games or a new keyboard/mouse/headset (I may need to reevaluate my priorities!).  It may not be a complete waste of time though! Gaming gives me a lot of inspiration for new drawings and character designs.

Friends
My friends keep me sane, without them pulling me out of my room every so often, I would slowly become fused to my chair and become one with Photoshop and the internet.  I am currently living with one of my good friends that I have known since middle school, and we have been attending a lot of events together. She has been teaching me new crochet patterns and hopefully I can have the patience to make a giant blanket for the Minnesota winter. A group of us all used to go swing dancing in the caves near the Twin Cities (it was an old mob hangout, there are even bullet holes in the walls!), we hope to make it back there some day.

Travel
The biggest and most influential trip I took was for a mission trip to the Dominican Republic in high school.  Living in an environment with a completely different culture and way of life was extremely eye opening.  Family vacations have been just as valuable, we really enjoy long roadtrips, especially out west through the mountains.  This year we spent a long while at a cabin in Idaho on a gorgeous glacier filled lake near Glacier National Park.


Future Plans
Art and drawing is my passion, and would love to go into any field where I can draw yet retain some artistic freedoms.  I've been playing around with many options such as character design (for games and the like), anything freelance, illustration, comics, and maybe even tattooing.  My ultimate goal would be to live in a city and make characters and costume designs for a gaming company, we'll see what happens!
