This picture was taken of me 5 years ago. It is the last picture taken of me that I approve of. Since then, I've been married and had a baby.. you all know what that does... <3

I was born in Baltimore, Md in 1979. My mother was institutionalized when I was young so I was raised mostly by my grandmother. I moved to Atlanta, Ga. when she passed in 1992. My father passed 2 years later. After a couple years in boarding school my Aunt and Uncle took me in. After I graduated high school I hitch-hiked and hopped freight-trains across the country for 2 and 1/2 years. I've been to 40 States. I eventually settled back down here in Atlanta, and met my husband on an MMORPG called FFXI(Final Fantasy Online) in 2004. He moved here from Pennsylvania that year and we got married in 2008. We had a baby in February 2009 and named her Lily. She has Cystic Fibrosis. She is my everything. I will love her as long as this world allows and beyond to the next.

I've been drawing since I was young. I had 2 Japanese room-mates in boarding school in 1992 who introduced me to anime/manga. I learned to draw from their wonderful collection of comics. I usually draw a great deal for 2-3 months out of the year and then take a long break. Since I had Lily I've only been working part-time so I have had more time to catch up on my work. My art is generally very simple. I'm pretty simple minded I guess. I want to work on having more than 1 person in my drawings and I want to work on adding backgrounds to my art. I wouldn't mind trying to go back and relearn to draw without comic/anime style. I know I can do it.. sometimes I think I'm just too lazy to give it a shot.


Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoy my work. Please leave a comment... add a fav. It really, really makes my day. (I have no life.. lol.. -_-)

Finally all moved in!

Journal Entry: Wed Nov 11, 2009, 8:37 AM


Last entry I wrote about the house I found, well after many a trials and tribulations we are finally all moved in. It's so perfect and we love it so much. It needs a little more of an artists touch but I'm addicted to a new MMO called Aion. I'll get around to it at some point.
Lily just got over a virus. She's doing great now though. Just teething a bit. She's got two top teeth and 3 bottom teeth in. She's working on learning how to crawl and she just started to love Elmo (the lesser of the evils imo) She says mama, but only when she is fussing. She starting eating solid baby food. She loves Sweet Potatoes, Carrots and Pears. She is almost always happy and has taken a liking to dancing. It's so much fun watching her learn new things every day.
Haven't Been drawing much because of the move. My tablet was packed away since the beginning of September. And now I come to find out at some point in the last 2 months my Photoshop is broken and unfixable. I drew the feather, which is for my Aion legion emblem in a trial version of Paint Tool Sai. A program which I am having a very difficult time getting used to. So, until I figure out a way to get a new Photoshop, you wont be seeing much from me.
