?

Hey everyone. I'm back from the dead! Yes, I've been crazy busy (ain't we all?!) but the truth is, I've also been a bit conflicted about keeping up this blog. I started it as a place to post art, but it's strayed a bit with more random posts and graphic design stuff-and I think that's okay, but I do think that I've kind of been addressing two different purposes with this blog, and I'm not sure if I want to keep doing that. I do love this little blog and I think I want to keep posting on it, but I've been thinking of moving the art-related content to a different blog that will be more focused on sketches, and letting this blog continue sliding in its "less art-related" trajectory . . . I'll be starting college next year as a pre-animation major at a school with a great (very competitive!) animation program, and I'd like to have an "art" blog established before I start school to help me keep up with my art progress and to have something to share with other people I'll meet. So I will continue posting art in any case (it just might not be on this blog!) But if I continued posting here in more of a "normal blog" style, would you still be interested in reading that? Eh. I don't even know if I'd have anything to say . . . And I do have some work on here that I'm proud of, along with the stuff I'm not so proud of anymore, so I really would feel sad leaving it behind. Maybe I'll repost some of the drawings I still like on the new art blog? ???? And goodness mercy me, what on earth would I name it? (the most important question, right?) I also want to put together a separate portfolio type website for some of my graphic design work . . . but that's a topic for another post.


(Picture I took on my walk the other day so this post isn't just me talking ;) I love how the ice mirrors the shape of the oak leaves.)

Anyway, I'd love to hear your thoughts on what I should do with this little corner of the internet. Pitch it entirely and start over? Keep it up but switch posting to a new, more "strictly art-related" blog? Try to keep two blogs going while keeping their focuses in different places? I've even been thinking about moving to Wordpress or Tumblr (at least for an art blog?) a bit.

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye . . . until my next post!
