The title would have been "I'm back", but it sounds pretty common around here. And, I'm not fully back as of yet. And truth be told, I can't access my multiply account here at work, and there are thoughts I'd want to share (not that anyone would care, but, what the heck).

For those who haven't read my multiply account on why I left (or correctly put, why I went on hiatus... I was brash that time, being the hothead that I am, and got lost. I haven't fully found my way back yet, but I have toned down a bit over the past month. Just a bit. Online at least. and still take in the shit I have to say about the world, anyway (hell, we work in the same place).

Though-

- with the mellowing down of the attitude came the loss of skill. Not a total loss. I can still draw well enough to teach basics, for the mean time. I'm still struggling to find a balance between the beauty of form and substance-

the latter being the harder one to develop, since I still lack maturity. I'm still a boy even if I'm turning 24 within the coming month. The day I finally grow up will be eventful for me. When that time comes, I'll be drawing pleasant-looking nudes, battles between men and machines, fantastical beasts of awe and wonder, pictures that actually tell stories be they sequential, scenic, or even just pin- ups.

As of now, still being a boy, all I can do is create lines that create the illusion of form. Pretty faces who lack souls. Figures that lack meaning and direction. It's karma, maybe. I'll find a way...

There has got to be a way.

When I come back I'm gonna come back a man.



Pardon my shameless advertising but...

To whoever here referred me to the sister-in-law of her aunt (layo no?) thank you. I got a freelance job to tutor her kid in drawing (and two other kids, I'm not sure if they're hers as well).

Anyway, some peeps here in deviantart have been asking if I could teach them, or if I'm holding classes and stuff.

So... if anyone is curious and you could nag your parents to hire me...

(rates may vary based on location, but here's how much I charge basically)

300 per person per hour.
500 for two people per hour.
700 for three people per hour.

Venue would be your place since I don't have my own studio.
La.
