i used to draw a lot in high school and in my early 20's. i was always in an art class at school so that is probably part of the reason. and i was very depressed so i liked to write poems and make pictures often. i submitted a self portrait in a school art show but i cant find it anywhere, when i do i will post it. since high school i have gotten into other creative things. i feel so alive when i use that part of myself. i just get inspired going into artsy coffee shops or funky places, anywhere really (= so i thought "hey i am creative person and love all the arts i am sure i would be good at something other than drawing"... i tried theatre and was a total embarrassment! i forgot most my lines cuz i was petrified and left the stage after muttering some nonsense! yikes! i also thought dancing would be cool, but that was a joke! i mean i can freestyle or whatever to music, but when it comes to taking lessons i cant do it. i was a mess! i tried singing though and that went pretty well.... i have gotten really into crafts and decorating the last few years and that is a lot of fun. but i miss drawing! i loved drawing faces! that is what i was known for. there are so many artistic things you can do with faces. anyways all that to say, i would like to get back into drawing and i am writing this so that i will have to. so if you dont see me post a picture in the next month that i have drawn then ask me about it! hold me accountable (=

the first picture below is one i drew in high school. i dont know how old i was exactly, but i wasnt the happiest at that time. (= the second is a little girl i drew about the same time. and the last one is the most recent face that i started to draw in 2003 but never finished it. i drew a picture of my friend chris in 2004 and i cant find that one either, but when i do i will post that one too. maybe i will make a link on the side of this page where i can put them all.

anyways ask me about my drawing in october!!
