I'm am so famous for disappearing and then reappearing, it's not even funny anymore. <<  >> Okay, so I still laugh about it. But seriously it's terrible. Anywho...

So... I've basically done little to nothing artistically as of late. I have attempted to draw a self portrait and scanned it. I'm now currently trying to draw over the scanned pic using GIMP and it's layering abilities. First experiment with layers. I feel a little dumb because it took me a while to figure it out and I was like, how silly of me! Well, at least I did it w/o asking someone else for help. Of that I'm proud, because I'm stubborn like that and always want to prove I can do things for myself. My next step will be to see if I could do another pic, probably a simpler one, and dabble in layers with coloring! It makes me excited.

Some time in the future, when I can afford one, I plan to get a tablet and then continue to dabble with art programs (most probably GIMP). I used to have a tablet I'd gotten as a present from my parents many years ago but I have no clue where it disappeared to. *sigh* It either got lost or stolen. Right now my semi-paranoid self wants to say it was stolen. Probably because I can't find a dvd I wanted to watch a week ago. I'm usually very good about replacing dvds in their jackets so yeah... and I haven't seen that dvd since before my most recent move. I've got everything else. It just might be that I'm losing my mind! I dunno.

Guess that's about it for the time being. Ja ne, minna!
