...which is why you haven't seen me a lot recently. i've been busy sketching on REAL paper.
so for that i apologize. my favouritest person in the world (crazylilfreak) just returned as well which has inspired me to grow a pair and answer my freaking MESSAGES! which is why you have recieced 1-month late comments and thanks from me, if you have. I feel really badly about ignoring all of you, i've been kinda wrapped up in my real-world problems, mostly silly predictable teenage girl problems (side note my b-day's on the 25th! YAY 18!!!!) but problems nonetheless. So i'm dreadfully sorry i've been ingnoring you and have decided to get back on the wagon. so to speak. What inspired this change? well, something very important has recently happened to me:
i read harry potter 7.
lololol jokes.
(no i'm not kidding.)
i finished a couple of hours ago and i'm kind of stunned but it seems that all these images are just like DRAW ME DRAW ME DRAW ME. i am just so mad inspired right now it's not even real. but as a result of having finished the books, my hp art now has spoilers. i want to post it anyway as i am v. proud but for whatever reason, *SKIP TO HERE FOR THE LEGIT POST AND NOT RAMBLINGS* previews (when i use psd) do not work on my computer so here is a plea to all of you:
what kind of file type (s) do i have to use for a successful preview?
i depart with this shameful pimpage: the more advice- the more art!
p.s. i also apologize to those of you who i have waiting collabs with- i haven't forgotten you!!!

Teaching in Boston
Hey All! As some of you know, I've been tutoring via skype for some time, but this winter I'm expanding into the REAL LIVE WORLD of teaching classes! For the month of December, I'll be doing a trial and seeing if this is a tenable arrangement, so I get to teach WHATEVER THE HECK I FEEL LIKE.
So I wanted to A) let those among you who are Bostonians know this was going on, and B) ask you for feedback. What classes would you be most interested in taking? Have you taught/attended independent arts classes before and you have suggestions or anything? What days/times would you be most likely to go to? All RIGHT!
P.S. this IS connected to the
DA's Commissions Shop
So this is a thing! http://www.deviantart.com/commissions/
So. Your friendly neighborhood Auntie Toerning is going to step in for a second here. Firstly, I think it's very groovy and awesome that DA is establishing their own marketplace. It's a scary world out there of work for hire and it's totally awesome that DA artists now have this stepping stool to practice professional habits in the same way that we practice artistic skills!

HOWEVER
I would like to take a moment to discuss the rates here. I was just exploring quickly, and saw on the navigation on the left "price," and, like every other human on the planet, clicked
Comic Composition Geekout
SPECIAL GUEST STAR (against his knowledge) IS ~Andrew-Ross-MacLean (https://www.deviantart.com/andrew-ross-maclean)
You guys know when I get really excited about art geekery, I JUST CAN'T KEEP IT IN. I also feel like composition is a really hard thing to learn, and all you can really do is try to learn "what is good" in composition, and then try to find examples until you can recognize it. In addition, composition for comics is extra hard because you have to worry about the overall flow of the page as well as the composition of each individual panel.
So I was doing my spring cleaning of my message center and came on some new comic pages he uploaded, all of which are awesome, but ta
Shared Studio Spaces
This is something I've been thinking a lot about. The fact of the matter is, as much as it's awesome, I don't work my best from home. I want to be able to "go to work" in the morning, see people, do my thing, and then come home. There are too many complications and distractions working from home, and too few opportunities to participate in the world as a human being. And I know of co-working spaces, to be sure there are loads of options in San Francisco, but having visited a bunch of them, there aren't any just right. I've always had a fantasy of starting a shared studio space, a small one, not a big vaulty warehouse style thing, maybe a
