Growing up, I have always had at least one pet in my life. Dogs and goldfish to be specific.I'd love to have a cat, but my mother is allergic to cats so we just have a bunch of dogs. In my life, I have had five dogs. Not sure how many goldfish. They don't live very long and we never gave them names because they all looked the same. Although, I can remember all the dogs I have had. The first being a dog named Koda. Named after the small bear from Brother Bear. I don't remember much of that dog, it ran away before I was old enough to remember. But the next dog we got I still have to this day. Her name is Isis (Iceis). Named after the Egyptian goddess. She is a black and white pitbull and I love her so much. She just turned 11 last July.  The next dog we didn't get until just 5 years ago. Ella is a pomeranian chihuahua that we kind of adopted. See, Ella was my great grandmother's dog and when we moved in with her, we became the ones to care for her. My grandfather...

Boys and girls of every age, would you like to see something strange, come with us and you will see this our town of SPOOKY TIME!! Can you believe it?! It's almost Spooky time!! (Or Halloween for you commoners) Yes, the time for older siblings to scare their younger siblings and poisoned candy. But that's not all; candy, jack o' lanterns and dressing up.

(Not really) I've had some bad experiences with Halloween, like this time I only went trick-or-treating for 30 minutes because my brother had to use the bathroom and my dad didn't take us back out. But this year, I am not going trick-or-treating. Yeah, apparently "I'm too old" for it and instead I've been invited to go watch "The Ring" at my friends how. But it sucks because it's a School Night and being the spry youngin I am, I'm not able to...

As an artist, there are several different types of tools I use. Yes some of them can be expensive, but there are some cheaper alternatives. For example, I use Finecolour, TouchFive, and Prismacolor as alternatives to Copic alcohol based markers. There is a difference, but for beginning artists or artists with little money (like myself) they work fine. So here are some of the things I use in most of my drawings. If you couldn't tell, I use alcohol based markers. They can make traditional art look almost digital. Except for when the fine line decides it wants to bleed and ruin your freaking drawing. But it's just the type of fine lines I'm using. I know Copic makes fine liners and I'm sure there are other types of alcohol-based fine liners that won't make your pictures, that you spend hours on, bleed. There are other things that I use as well as markers. Gellpens, colored pencils, and washi tape are some other things that I use in drawings. Th...
