@Nalight: Mingling for 4 hours sounds like a lot of work, haha!
"his were alive and mine were dead" is my favorite new quote. LMAO. But rad! Was making coloring books fun?

It's such an awful prank to pull on kids, honestly haha! Like whoever thought it up was a jerk.

Seriously. I saw Amazon jacked their prices for water way up, too. Like is making money really more important to people than saving lives? Sure hope all those companies get some BIG lawsuits out of this.

Tumblr is a hellhole, honestly. :v But I still keep going back to it like a fly 'cuz I'm dumb.
What's your dA? I'll watch you on there in case you start posting again! :D

@Nalight: Nice! How many people attended your thing roughly?
That must have been the best to have a good friend as your partner, haha. It probably helped remove a lot of the stress. Do you two have pretty similar interests art wise?

It would be the best trick! Especially for child parties. Like, it brings a whole new meaning to that "got your nose!" joke.

I would have thought you'd at least get some rain from it. But good that you didn't get any bad weather!
And yeah, it's absolutely terrifying how many are rolling through there! And it's even worse that the airlines are jacking up prices because "seats filled up, waah!" Like charge $3k for a plane ticket to get people to safety, you're an asshole, not a "victim". >:I
Yep, Washington! Though you'd probably wanna wait until the state isn't on fire anymore, haha!

I'll be sure to! :D But you have to do the same!
Which reminds me...do you have a tumblr/dA that you post art on? I tink I deleted old accounts and don't remember if you had one or not LOL.

@The Youngest Granny: Jumanji is ANYTHING sounds like a blast, honestly!
Hopefully you have tons of fun with it! :O

GUUH just thinking of how expensive the frames were has me cringing!
It's a pretty cool concept, though! Is it open to the public as well? Like is the community pretty supportive of the art students there?
And, of course, was it FUN?

Hahah, no kidding! If a nuclear war ever happens I'll be over here like "Been there. :vanora_sun: "
Maybe I'll become like those lizards that can regrow body parts? That'd be a pretty cool party trick.

Do you get any weird weather from the hurricane? I know they come pretty far inland, but I wasn't sure how far. But yeah, it's super sad hearing about all of that stuff. :( Especially the little islands. This is like, what, the third hurricane hitting them within the week?!
I'd suggest you come north and hang with me, but there's nothing to do where I live, haha. But yeah, I've thought about LA a few times! It's so warm down there. :vanora_heart:

I've tried doing comics but haven't ever gotten too far with them, haha. Hope to start and keep up with a webcomic within the year, though. Just sorta depends on how my schedule is. Maybe I can find some sort of comic studies class sorta locally that could help me with hat!

@The Youngest Granny: Ah, alright! What are the new plot arches y'all are going to be doing?

@The Youngest Granny: Did you join new RPs or are these the same ones you've had? :O

@Nalight: They're so nice.... were the skull pieces for like a final project sort of thing?

Uh, I think they just make you retire from the company or something? I know that's how it is at the nuclear plant in town, haha. Too much radiation exposure = lifetime of money and never having to work again. I was supposed to take some radiation safety test before being allowed to do stuff but apparently hey thought I'd be fine? Hahaha! (Thankfully one of the engineers made a safety thing that won't allow a test fixture to produce x-rays outside of its little containment box cuz I almost gave myself a nice healthy dose of radiation today :vanora_sick: )

New Orleans would be a cool place! (I'd worry about flooding though. Although Texas got pretty beat up by Harvey, oof! The whole coastline is just taking hit after hit this year, yowzers.) It seems like a very cultural and artsy place! :> You should try visiting there and San Antonio if you ever get the chance and see if you'd like going there, maybe?
You could always move to LA! I know a TON of art grads who live out there, haha. It's a pretty nice place.

Whoooooa! That sounds so cool! I'd love taking at least a class on comic studies. Getting a degree in it would be pretty awesome too!

@Nalight: Haha, I like things with skulls too!
And sorta kinda. Not really, though haha. At least not at the moment? I don't know if it'll ever change but it's at least good practice. :O

AW JEEZ SO MANY OPTIONS I'm gonna be soooo broke here soon LMFAO. I want everything. :vanora_cry:
I'll have to figure out which ones I'd want a print of. It's gonna be a hard decision honestly, hahaha!

Yeah, the productions stuff can be pretty repetitive, but it's nice for the most part! The engineers come talk to me about stuff sometimes and try to explain all of it in ways I'd understand but it tends to go over my head most of the time LOL. And yeah, there's a risk. We have to wear special rings and badges that sorta absorb radiation so they get sent in and analyzed to see if we get exposed to too much. Though, it's typically very small doses of it. There have been times I've accidentally blasted my hand with a pretty high concentration of radiation though, so... :vanora_xd: If I grow an extra finger I'll sell it on ebay or something I guess.

Nice! You're already pretty far south right now, aren't you? I was gonna say if you wanted to go north you could go to Portland, haha. That's a town full of art and hipsters and people who will offer you meth when you ask for directions. Do Houston and Austin have a pretty big art scene? I guess I tend to only hear about the West coast stuff more than anything. But it's cool that you'd have options for somewhere pretty close!
Oooh, comic studies? What's that? :o
Ah man, I hope that didn't stress you out too much!

@Nalight: LOL you'll take that back when you see it. :vanora_sweat: It's stuff I'm not used to doing haha, so hopefully it all looks alright!

Oooh, that would be awesome! Now you have me torn between prints or shirts. Maybe I'll just have to buy both?
I was never good at doing prints, haha. But you should make a bunch! I'll spam all my friends and make them buy your stuff!

We build handheld spectrometers at our location. There are like, multiple parts to the company but this is what we handle, haha. I mainly do prepwork for the instruments (like building the LCD displays and housings), but I also have to test how much radiation comes off the instruments to make sure it's safe for customers, as well as collect data to calibrate them correctly. :P They've also recently had me start building the X-Ray source that generates the X-Ray beam, which is pretty rad. ;) How they let me do this without a degree Ill never quite get but LMAO. Perks of knowing the production lead guy, I guess?

I don't think you need a goal per say. That's the cool thing about the internet is there are so many different ways to network that you can get clients pretty easily and then build things from there, you know? Was your degree in graphic design?
Yeah, small town life can be a drag sometimes, haha. Would you want to go East or West or anything specific?

@Nalight: You're welcome! You deserve all the compliments! >:o
Aw, oh no! Don't feel down about your art. :vanora_cry:

They're so wonderful, honestly. I'm pretty sure I would hang them from my clothes if I could.

They seem to be pretty forgiving about it since I'm learning, haha. I just feel bad because it's like..super expensive stuff. :C They managed to save it though, it just made for a lot of extra work for one guy.
Yeah, it's a cool place! I feel dumb there sometimes because everyone is always using all these scientific terms and I'm like "button pressed and light goes ON." But I'll get there one day!

Ah, well I think you deserve some relaxation time after tackling college! And you're so talented that I'm sure a great opportunity is gonna land at your feet at any minute! Do you have any plans to move to a specific city or something? Like a dream company to work for? :O

@Nalight: Oh, haha. Being in a band must be hard. I know a friend of mine has gone through like...4 of them within a few years. Seems chaotic. P:

CHAILIGHT: LEGENDARY DEFENDER. New series, Netflix. @ me.
:vanora_heart: :vanora_heart: :vanora_heart: Your graphic work is seriously soooo nice! I like it a lot! You make me want to go to art school. Why must you do this to me when I'm so broooke. :vanora_cry:
For real, though! Your stuff is awesome. I hope doing these little projects and internships lands you a nice, big job with a good company! C: If I ever see anything for little freelance projects, I'll be sure to send them your info, though!

Right? It's always cool to have people appreciate your work. Those pieces would look so amazing underneath like, little fairylights. I have the entire thing planned out in my head now, LOL

I've been pretty good! Took a year off of working after getting sick. Recently got a job at a research and production place that i really enjoy! Hoping I get to stay there for a while, but I keep screwing up some pretty expensive things so I'm a little concerned...LOL.
How about you? Anything exciting happening other than ding some badass freelance work?
