Hello my lovely !! Long time no see!

I just wanted to post this journal as a bit of an update in the current events of my life thus far!

So the biggest thing that I wanted to share with all of you is that the biggest international Airbrush magazine, "Airbrush Action", held a contest a while back called the "Annual Airbrush Excellence Competition". It was open to most anyone who was well versed with an Airbrush and wanted to submit their work in hopes to win hundreds of dollars worth of prizes, as well as the bragging rights of being PUBLISHED in the biggest Airbrush Magazine in the world.
(The exact details of the entire competition can be found here: [link] )

So, naturally I submitted some of my works. These two, to be exact:

So a month or two goes by, the magazine comes out...
AND I WON FIRST AND THIRD PLACE IN THE T-SHIRT CATEGORY!!
Pinhead won first, and Barbossa won second!!


So THAT was a thing that happened! I still can't believe I won!

And also, in more personal, non-artwork related news; I FINALLY found a part-time job working at Claire's Accessories (which I absolutely LOVE) to help me make a bit of money on the side to;
1: Help pay for University
2: Have some spending money for when Mitchell get's home!!

And speaking of Mitchell, we are still very much together, and very much in love despite how hard the distance between us can get some days.
We booked his plane tickets to come home in August, and so I will post an updated journal sometime then!

And so, my lovely followers, thank you so much for all of your support with my work and giving me positive comments and feedback, because without you, I don't know who else I could share this wonderful experience with!
And thank you for a wonderful summer of commissions! I will be doing this again as soon as possible, but that could be a while down the road as this next year in University will be a full schedule building up pre-requisites with hopes to enroll in the College of Education. So Airbrushing may have to be put on the back burner for a little while...but who knows what will happen! 3rd year painting is open studio, so if I can get my hands on a solid compressor, I may just attempt to airbrush on canvas!!
(Thank you for the suggestion! Please do check out his gallery, his airbrush work is simply astonishing and what I hope to achieve one day!)

Thank you again, everyone! And I hope that you all have a lovely Summer!!
