New: I decided that digital art is not for me. Again. I don't know, we'll see what happens in the future. Anyways, I've been brainstorming for a new project I am very into. Hopefully it will actually go some where. Also, Luke and I finally decided to get a dog. Not anytime soon, but in the near future. I was working on an acrylic painting but Luke ruined it by piling things on top of it. It was my last canvas panel as well. How lame.
