Just added a bunch of new things to my etsy: http://www.etsy.com/shop/OctoSwirl Check em out!

I really need to keep my DA/blog more up to date. I went to Tekkoshocon in Pittsburgh, PA this past weekend and had a blast. :D I met some great people and did pretty well in the Artists Alley. I had originally looked forward to taking a short break from sewing and crafting before starting work on things for Colossalcon, but instead I came home with tons of new ideas to try out and even more motivation to work! Soon you should see some new things here and some new listings on my Etsy http://www.etsy.com/shop/OctoSwirl, including squeaky plush and Cthulu necklaces :D On top of that I graduate college coming up in June, which I'm super excite

..just fyi. I have a terrible time keeping my journals up to date. But I'm slowly chugging along, working on art & making crafts. I've done a couple conventions this fall (world fantasy convention and sugoicon) and both were wildly successful for different reasons. Right now I'm trying to focus on school and also on solidifying my style/ building my portfolio. Its a long process, but I've really been pushing myself to try new things artwise. My oil painting class has also been incredibly productive and I think its really helping me build better form in my drawings.
