October is the first of my 3 favorite months. It's wonderful seeing the leaves change color. I get so excited for it. This will be the first time I'll get to see in since living in Arizona. It'll be like looking through a child's eye. Do you have any special traditions for October? My Dad and I would exchange a Halloween gift. Usually something cheap or homemade (cake!). I think it's a nice tradition.
I'd like to celebrate the magic of October with you. However, airfare is expensive and trying to see everyone on my watch list in 1 month takes more money than I have. Also trying to keep all that cake fresh would be pretty damn hard. So I'll share a different gift with you. The gift of knowledge. I've compiled a large list of various art related things and resources I've found extremely helpful. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

You know what time it is! Let's get this thing started.

Pre-Occupied Without You.
I haven't been as active here as I'd like to be. I've been living in the "Real World". I work 42 hours a week at a job I can't stand. It leaves me so tired, I don't have the energy to make art. Which is really bad, considering my dream is to be a comic book creator/artist. I have a poll up right now relating to this, and I'd really appreciate all your feedback. It's hard to stay encouraged when my job takes away my ability to do the one thing I truly love.
