I'm currently a full-time student at Academy of Art in San Francisco, CA, studying for a BFA in Traditional Illustration. I'm 34 in numerical years, but dwelling somewhere in the eternal Peter Pan syndrome on the inside.

I love to draw, paint and write-used to write poetry almost daily, but unfortunately strayed away as life got busier. I'm hoping to get back into it, as well as making jewelry, too. Collecting rocks, crystals and all manner of toys makes me quite happy, as do shiny, sparkly things (and no, they don't have to be semi-precious.) I grew up with the Muppets, Fraggle Rock, Smurfs and lots of bubble soap-most of that "otherwordly" love has stayed with me, and I don't think its going to leave anytime soon!

Halloween Rocks...

Journal Entry: Sat Oct 31, 2009, 10:37 AM
Pixie, kobold, elf, and sprite,
All are on their rounds tonight;
In the wan moon's silver ray,
Thrives their helter-skelter play.
~Joel Benton

Halloween wraps fear in innocence,
As though it were a slightly sour sweet.
Let terror, then, be turned into a treat...
~Nicholas Gordon

True love is like ghosts, which everyone talks about but few have seen. ~Author Unknown

A house is never still in darkness to those who listen intently; there is a whispering in distant chambers, an unearthly hand presses the snib of the window, the latch rises. Ghosts were created when the first man awoke in the night. ~J.M. Barrie

I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself than be crowded on a velvet cushion. ~Henry David Thoreau

When black cats prowl and pumpkins gleam,
May luck be yours on Halloween.
~Author Unknown

There is nothing that gives more assurance than a mask. ~Colette

Imagination is the marrow within the bone of creativity, and Earl Gray is the life-blood I happily drain from every steaming cup.

Thats good, are you happy?

And I am doing just fine, aha! School kinda sucks, but then, no one my age really enjoys it, right? Aside from that, I'm excited; I'm going to NYC o the 13, 14 & 15. 8D! I can't wait, lmao <333 :heart:
