A made an art blog on tumblr. And I update it every. Single. Day. Going on two or three weeks of that actually. You can find it yonder I use that sucker for lots of things, currently it acts as digital sketchbook. I upload photos of IRL sketches and other things too. Some are exciting. Others? Well You can judge yourselves.

Who here reads fan fiction? among those of you that do, how do you decide what story to read? Not counting the genre it's in. What makes you decide to click on one story over another? Discuss!

So I have in fact drawn an image for day3 of NATG2. But my scanner decided that now was a good time to stop scanning. and then my camera died and I can't find the charger...I REALLY wish I was making that up. but alas, looks like I'm digital from here on in for NATG2 until i solve my issues. probably better for my development as an artist anyway. i'll post the straggler when something starts working again

Equestria Daily is running their ATG event again, not missing out on this one! I've decided that addition to drawing every day (on my down time I promise) I'm going to challenge myself further by requiring that I draw only the Cutiemark Crusaders five years into the future for each prompt, to commemorate an upcoming project of mine. And starting with tomorrow's pompt, I'm going to require I draw all three of them as well.

Bring on the good times.

I've recently become quite smitten with HBO's new show of the same name as this journal entry. It's exciting, and fun, and has this way of sweeping you up and making you really *feel* something. The characters are charming and the dialogue is clever and a complete delight to listen to. This is all of course just one man's opinion.

So, like any twenty-something of this day and age, I plugged it into Google to see what popped up. And I was completely blown away by how angry people got about it. It seems to be that people take their television very seriously in this situation.

Normally I don't like to rant about things other people don't like, because quite frankly it doesn't matter. Love and tolerance after all. But in this situation I feel the need to share for reasons that defy my understanding.

What seems to be forgotten quite frequently is that this TV show is just that. A T.V. show. It's fictional and should be treated as such, I don't think the writer actually intends to change the world I think he's trying to tell a story. It's not pushing an agenda, and the fact that it's inaccurate about some events in the world seems irrelevant to me. Its a show that's first and foremost about Idealism, about telling the truth, about perseverance, and about redemption. The details a story uses shouldn't be important beyond its own confines, storytelling flaws notwithstanding.

Perhaps I'm being the weird one, or maybe I don't get it because I don't watch the news or give a damn about politics, but those are my thoughts. And now they're on the internet.
