*EDIT* Warning: Contains self-pity.
I figured I may as well update you all on why I've been inactive.
After a seriously disappointing interview at OCAD University 2 weeks ago, I've been pretty bummed out and I've been having a hard time enjoying art and being creative. I still don't know whether or not I'll get in, but signs point to "no". The worst part is, my flaw is something I feel I can hardly control. My style. It's too common, ("anyone can do it") and they saw that as a weakness or a lack of SOMETHING. Also, I tend to draw from my mind or from photos rather than real life. That's bad. I dunno.
He said "don't be discouraged" and "You have skill, don't let anyone tell you otherwise", but its hard to shake everything else.
So yeah. I'm...pretty bummed out and things haven't gotten much better since then. Adding onto that negativity is the death of my Grandparent a week ago. It wasn't a surprise or anything, but that doesn't really make it much easier.
I guess I just need some motivation, but I don't really know. I'm feeling awfully discouraged.

Spring cleaning
Since I should be working on all of my final assignments right now, I naturally decided to ignore them entirely and use the buildup of anxious energy to clean up my DA gallery a bit by putting some (SOME) of my older, shittier drawings into storage. Thought I'd write a post about it in case any of you were wondering what happened to that-one-thing-I-favourited-5-years-ago. This is my compromise instead of deleting my account. ^^' Maybe someday.
Thanks for sticking with me all this time!

UPDATE: sailing away
Hey everyone.
As you can tell, I'm not terribly active here anymore, and I don't plan on posting much more in the future.
I'm not done drawing, though, not by a longshot! I've simply moved. If you're still interested in seeing my art, I'll be posting sketchbook pages and finished art on my new blog, mirthfulartist.tumblr.com. I also have a personal blog, mirthfulrealist.tumblr.com. These are the best ways to contact me, if ever you want to. :) I still may come here occasionally, but my main scene is elsewhere.
Thanks for all your support over the years, guys!

Update. School, projects, and Pokemon
[EDIT: I realize I accidentally posted this three times. Bluh. Sorry.]
Hey everyone! Yup, I'm still here.
I just finished up my first year as an Illustration student, and I'm so glad to be back home! I haven't really posted any of my work from school, because frankly I don't think an of it is terribly interesting...or terribly good, not that my posts thus-far have exactly been top-notch, but these ones are just not fun. I'll look through them again, though, and see if I find anything I think you might like.
Anyways, now that the school projects are over and done with, the personal projects begin.
As usual, I have a lot of very ambitious p
ASK BILL--FOR REAL! HIRSCH'S AMA
Alex Hirsch is doing an actual AMA (ask me anything) as Bill Cipher on April 1st at 11:30am (PST, I think). Hopefully not an April Fool's prank.
This is your chance to ask him the really IMPORTANT questions.
If you can make it, here are a few tips:

Don't be rude. This is a very generous thing for Alex to do with his time, so be respectful. Okay?Don't ask silly or stupid questions. This is a really HUGE opportunity to get some serious answers. Don't waste your question on spam like pairings, doritos, or fanfiction/AUs.
Don't freak out about Alex being there. This is a place for questions

hey don't be discouraged. So what if two people out of billions did not like your work. You can do better than some stupid, uptight, down right idiotic school inToronto. And who would want to live in Toronto anyways. Pul-ease! You should be going to Italy and doing art school. I hear Italy has a lot more talent than Toronto. And hey, if you keep being sad then I'm going to get sad and then I'm going to have to drown my sorrows in food whilst dragging you along with me to do the same. Do you really want to put up with that?
