So I was putting together my artist speech since I am graduating and took a look back on this art blog.

I started in November 2014!

I never realized how long this art blog has been going for. What’s changed in these 5 years. The people who I miss. Followers who aren’t around anymore. Followers who have followed me for all 5 years! @nebulajam comes to mind, @beach-the-glass I feel is more recent but is no less noticed in their always continues effort to reblog me constantly.

I can’t believe it’s been 5 years and I am finally reaching what may be considered the end of an era now for the last 3 years of art school. I really appreciate everyone who is reading this and has continued to support me all these years. My abilities as an artist have grown greatly. Maybe not as quickly or as focused as some people can improve but I am really proud of myself keeping a blog going for multiple years.

I really look forward to the next 5 years with you all as I continue to show what it is I am working on. I am hoping to start my own business once I graduate (in like 3 weeks) and of course I will always post progress here. This isn’t just my art blog it is my personal blog that I post art on. And in the coming years there may be a whole lot more than art in my life as I move past art school and get a career and finally move on with my life past university.

I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!

For convenience here is an image of something I drew in November of 2014, below it, something I drew today November 2019. The difference half a decade can make!

Looks like I finally figured out those jaw lines. : )
