Before I get to what I'm up to nowadays, it only makes sense to update you of where I've been the past year and half / two years.
Back in September 2008, my soon-to-be ex-husband separated. He pretty much kicked me out of the house. >> More later.
From there, my parents' house was the only place I had to go, even though neither me or my parents wanted it. I've been with them ever since.
Good news! My mom said she'll help pay for the divorce once she can afford it this spring. Yay!! ^.^ I can't wait to get my SOPHISTICATED maiden name back!
I have desperately been seeking work ever since (and even before my ex and I split). Finding online work is impossible because 99% of it are scams. -.-
So to pass the time, I've been vlogging, drawing, doing voice over practices, going to play auditions....and it goes on.
That is seriously what I've been up to during my absence. =/ It sucks that I'm not working like I wish I could be. At least I have friends to hang out with, and all of you keep me company too! ^.^
Ok. I realize that this blog is already long, but I want show you my art (which I put on sale). I like to draw really cute art with a sketchy look to them. I have these two so far.
What do you think? Would you wear them on a shirt? ^^;
The shirt versions of these don't have the borders and backgrounds, by the way. I felt that borders, etc. would be too much for a shirt. These are actually just my prints. ^^
I'll talk more about my art next time. For now I'll respond to comments.
@ikimashokie: Yeah I know....I REALLY wish I hadn't delete my old entries, but at at least I remember a few of them. Most of them were about the same day-to-day life experiences.
@LostSoul13: Yeah, sometimes you just HAVE to delete your entries, there's no choice. In my case, I really didn't need to...... But I won't delete them ever again.
@Kuri: Yup HTML5! I know it's soooo bizarre!!
Haha yeah! I realized that I never put in the padding! So I added padding:4px and it worked! ^.^ Now it looks great on IE and Firefox!
Aww thanks. ^.^ I can't wait to make a new one and I'm eager to see a new one from you!
Yeah.... It was depressing to see all of my "life" entries gone when I came back..... I wish I had made them private instead. I guess I figured that I'd forget the password or something... :(
Since you asked last time, my Youtube is youtube.com/xrarelightx and my Twitter: twitter.com/krissyarcher
@renaye: Yeah. Well I am still legally married. I got married in 2002, separated in 2008, and will officially divorce spring 2011. I can't wait.
And to answer from last time, I don't use Photoshop and never have because I can't afford it. I use Gimp and have used it since 2005. :) I'm pretty fluent in it. lol
I'd love to do freelance graphic work, but I have no idea where to do it.

There aren't any local job opportunities?
And also, did you use a mouse to draw, or do you have a tablet...? »randomjunk on 2010-11-23 02:07:59

i'm sorry to hear u r getting a divorce. welcome back to single-dom.
to be frank, i won't wear it on a tee. as i don't like that kind of designs. i prefer designs covering the whole shirt. in short, making a tee out of victorian english patterned fabric. i like tees from threadless. and have u checked out etsy? u can try selling ur things there too.
have u approached companies in the US about ur graphic design services?
i would like to go for audition too! thought that would be one of the things i would like to try before i die. =) »renaye on 2010-11-23 06:44:42
