Oh my GOSH! It has been ages...I just read my last journal, and it was literally right before i found out that I was pregnant! Indeed people, i am still alive...and have another human being to show for it. I am now a mother of two wee ones...maybe explains why I've been pretty much MIA from DA for about a year now. I hope I haven"t been forgotten...and I hope to catch up with you all.

I'm having a block right now...so lame. I do have some new drawings that I haven't uploaded yet, so I'll get to that soon. But this block is just killing me, especially since I have 4 commissions. I feel like I just need to draw something small, for myself, to get the creative juices flowing. Also,got a lot going on in my personal life...and I just got over a very long and terrible flu,so that took a lot out of me. Need to also catch up on all my feedback! EEEEeeee. Kinda pointless journal...just needed to vent,I guess...and please let me know if you all have any ideas for new pin-ups for me to draw,to get me going again;)

Commissions, works that I personally want to check off my list, and of course my contribution to Harlow Magazine,issue 03 harlowmagazine.bigcartel.com/p…;.

Last time I said that I was" back(for real)", and it turns out that I wasn't. You can't always foresee what may come. Do I really want to explain all that happened? Not really, but I'll give a summary. The last time I wrote a journal, I was almost 6 months pregnant. At the end of September I went to the hospital for a minor thing and ended up being switched to another hospital...I was stuck in bed,only allowed to lie on my side for weeks (due to complications w/ the blood flow from the cord to the baby). It was all pretty emotional. I ended up having an emergency c-section on the morning of October 9th, when I was only 29 weeks pregnant. My son was close to 3 months early, weighing in at only 2 lbs 3 ozs, and he was only 13 1/4 in long. I stayed in there for another week, but had to leave my itty bitty boy in the NICU for another 2 months. We drove over an hour every day to go see him....but it was so amazing when I got to bring my lil Hudson home,almost a month before he was even supposed to be born. Premature babies don't develope at the same rate as a baby that's born on time, so he's still pretty small for his age, but he's doing amazing and he is the love of my life.

Blah,blah,blah...Hudson is now a year old, and I finally can squeeze in some time to draw. I needed something to kick me into gear,and in the blink of an eye I got it. An old friend I worked w/ back in the day at the Camarillo Premium Outlets asked if I could contribute to her new upstart alternative fashion mag, Harlow Magazine  www.harlowmagazine.com/Site/Ha…
My contribution, a paperdoll sheet of model Audrey Kitching( who also does a monthly article for Harlow). SO can't wait to see it in print...it'll be in issue no. 3, now available for pre-order, and will ship out on December 1st:) Now that my groove is back,I'm working on some fun new pin-ups. I love drawing beautiful ladies, it makes me happy.

I've practically been missing in action on this site for almost a year, besides the occasional stop by,and a couple uploaded pics. It's just been one long chain of events. I got layed off of my job of 2 years, I went to Texas twice, my cousin lived with us for a while,I went through some party phase,tons of people have visited,my sister lived with us (and still kinda is),my family was in California for most of the summer,my sister got married,I had tons of artist's block...oh,and I got pregnant. So,a lot of stuff threw me off for a long while. But now I'm happy,and pregnant( 24 weeks tomorrow) with a little boy,everything has calmed down,and I can draw again.

It's awesome being back,I still love seeing everyone's work,so inspiring. Hopefully I'll be able to put some great stuff out there too,that you all will enjoy. Thank you to everyone who's added my drawings to their favorites and all my lovely watchers:)

I've started to do some "real" women pin-ups...meaning,women that I actually know,trying to get likenesses at a small scale and draw different body types.

I'm currently excepting commissions: pin-up and portrait commissions... please let me know if your interested. Gotta make some money for this baby on the way.

Keep your eyes peeled for the new stuff that is definitely on it's way.
Thanks,
:kiss: Redbird
