that is, unless i give grad school a try.

gone are the days of artificial stress, now begin the stresses of the real world. in a year i hope to move out of my small town to become a small fish in a big pond. i had some success here at school - got first place in the juried student competition this summer - and now i'll have to see if that translates into real success when i strike out on my own. this summer, in addition to making real plans to move out, i'll be working on art projects to start building my portfolio and get my career as a professional artist off the ground. including a comic project which i'll be bringing you more details on in the future.

and maybe i'll get this grammar thing figured out someday, too.
