    As of May 20th, I'm a real live college graduate with a BA in Scientific Illustration! So far the alumni life has been way busier than I have ever anticipated. There's been a ton of paperwork, job searching, and luckily, art making. So, let's see

• I'm doing Daily Doodles on Instagram @TricountyTrap. Follow me to check 'em out!
  
• I got to participate in Rittenhouse Square's Annual Spring Art Show, which was an amazing experience getting to be among professionals and learning to sell my work. The other students were all sweethearts, and it was generally just straight up fantastic to be there
  
• Might have just found a part time job to help me fend off incoming student loans a tiny bit
  
• Webstore is coming soon for those interested in buying my paintings and prints (as in, the traditional, fine art, limited in edition prints)
• I will be launching my Patreon & Tapastic this month for my upcoming comics! Starting with minis in a story called Porchcrawler
• Commissions are 100% open! I have a variety of styles and mediums and I will happily hook you up
• I just finished illustrating the cover of a poetry magazine! I'm very excited to be unveiling it soon!
• Already on my 4th business card design
  
• Very excited that I have found ways that I will be able to keep making screenprints outside of college. I really fell in love with printmaking over the last year of school, so I could not be more stoked that I don't have to say goodbye to such a great medium
• More and more and more

Until next time! (Hopefully a much sooner update)

:Commissions: Happily Open!

It's the summer before my senior year, and there's been some stuff going on. I just got back from a conference where I met a ton of important people in my field, learned a ton at lectures, and got to participate in a cute workshop. I hope to post the comic I made during that soon. It was also sweet to get feedback from professionals on my thesis, which I have already started.

• Conference was bomb
  
• I've now been dating my boyf for over a year, and he's pretty neato
• I decided to learn how to make custom meshes for Sims 4, so I have been teaching myself to use Blender 2.7. It's also a pretty good excuse to brush up on/add to my photoshop skills. If you play and are interested in what i'm making or will be, it can be found on my simblr @ ClipItSims. Mostly the things are relevant to my characters, or what I think is funny. I'm open to suggestions.
• I am very excited for an independent study on comics I will be doing next semester. I have started one of them (you know, besides having docs full of information on the characters, the location, the timeline, models of their homes, reference material, style practice, and thumbnails), as in, I have actually begun drawing the first pages. I also snagged some URLs for the future comics. I hope to start posting things soon as I have a good buffer!
• I unfortunately had to decline a residency
  
• I've made a real resume, and need to get on making some real business cards
• Life is Strange is beautiful and I need episode 4 to come out
• Probably other junk

I haven't updated this journal since May of 2013 lmao. Just finished the fall semester of my junior year, and now that I'm on break I have a pretty hefty pile of art I'd like to do for myself. I've got skills to learn and a portfolio to build. Next semester I'll probably end up spamming my gallery with my 3 or 4 studio classes' work. Gee. I have so many to do lists haha.
To be fair, it's been a pretty swell year for the second half or so. uwu Art will be coming.


:Commissions: Pretty much closed.
:Art trades: Even more closed.
Kiriban Next chance at 25,000. Basically you get a free request. Be reasonable, guidelines will apply.
Collaborations: Closed.

What you'll get: A fully colored picture with a background and a lot of effort. I'll even make it with love.

Trades are closed for the time being. Back to college now, and I'm juggling my crazy class schedule already (I'm almost a double major, i swear), my work schedule, homework/studying, social life, and important projects. My sleep schedule is very confused. I promise, my last 2 things on the list are almost complete, and further lag time is just because i dont have a whole lot of time to be working on them. Sorry guys. I promise that I am working on them. I'll also probably never do as many as I did at the same time again because that was absurd lmao I severely overestimated myself
If you somehow convince me to trade, you will receive an inked and colored image with basically all of my effort.
I am now 90% finished with this batch of trades/commissions/gifts/collabs. I'm on the last stretch, just 4 left to finish up and post before I go back to personal work (I miss you so much).
I will post the complete image as promptly as possible.

What I will do:
OCs (especially of your own created universe), monsters, gore, multiple people (if it's not an absurd number of them: 3 is fine. 13 Is kinda cray cray.), tattoos, cutesy things, violent cutesy things, or pretty much whatever you want

What I will not do:
porn, genitalia, fandom OCs, anything I morally object


:Commissions:
I will accept point commissions (in the hope that I can do something cool with them), but point commissions or PayPal price inquiries should be pmed to me along with your request. I want to make sure I am able to do what you want first. I will take payment upon completion, and will post after the transaction is confirmed. If you want a more difficult request than what I can currently offer you, the project may have to wait until I have a break
Keep in mind for point commissions that I'll be using this calculator brokentutorials.deviantart.com…

:Art trades:
I'm giving you a full color image with a background, I would like the same in return. I want it in your preferred style.
Let me know if there's anything you specifically would like or dislike doing, and I'll work around it in my request.
Feel free to comment on this journal with what you want me to do so I can get started. Specifics in your request are great.

Kiriban Nobody claimed it, so next chance at 19,191. This will follow the same guidelines if hit before I am home. Basically you get a free request. Be reasonable and specific, please, guidelines still apply.

Collaborations: Currently friends only. Sorry there.

So comment if you want to take one of these options, okay, thanks~

So, I'm chilling in my room right now, I just finished my online course for this semester, and I'm currently dreading the approach of my other three fina--I'm pretty sure I just got flipped off by the 6th floor kitchen in East. That's pleasant. How dare I have my blinds open? Man.

I was about to say I don't want to go home /that bad/ but ya know. I just want to go home. Don't get me wrong, Scotland is beautiful and there's a lot of wonderful things here, I'm just ready to be done with this experience since lately it's just been me stressing about grades, money, and scheduling. That, and I don't exactly have much in the way of friends here. Rock Society was nice, but all they do is drink. The cool part about me spending so much time on my own, is that I've been doing a mad ton of sketches. (_{Okay, not "mad ton," but I've been trying to do at least 1 a day...})

I'm contemplating going into the forum & asking if anyone wants to do an art trade, but I guess that wouldn't exactly be fair considering that I can't finish anything this month. Also, the fact anything I'd want them to draw I haven't got up to reference to them, yet. Also slightly apprehensive about broadcasting that I want to do one. I mean, what if there's a kid asking for something extravagant but they only trace things or doodle on lined paper? How do you tell someone "no" without being rude? Plus the possibility of being spammed about it. Which happens on basically all of those posts. Hm.
But hey, if you're reading this, dear watcher or non-watcher, and you're okay with those things, totally consider doing an art trade with me, please.

I just did a sketch for a guy's really awesome looking wip game project. I think it's pretty cool.
I was going to send a picture to this band I recently discovered, or give it to them at their upcoming show, but I got totally discouraged the other day. They had put a post on fb asking for designers to send them stuff they can possibly make into merch, great opportunity, yeah? They don't want anything with the animal in their name. Sucks, cause it's probably one of the best things I've ever done and they don't want it before they've even seen it. I was trying to come up with alternatives, but I haven't made any I liked nearly as much.

Anyway... yeah. I'm looking to do some art. Throw me a bone if you want.
