I can't believe I've been a member for over a year and I just started uploading stuff to my gallery. I guess the best explanation for that is I haven't drawn seriously in YEARS. Probably since the beginning of high school, and now I'm more than halfway done with college. Crazy how time flies by!

All the artwork in my gallery are pieces done within the last 3 months. I'm not a big "sketch" person. If I'm going to draw, I'm going to spend hours doing so and do it right. Most of my artwork takes me 10+ hours, with some less and some more.

As an artist, it's my goal to do something different than the other artists, especially within my own genre. You will find I like crazy angles; I'm not normally a traditionalist in that sense.

Yes, however, some of my artwork is traditional. I take portrait commissions via my art business, The Galloping Lane. You can find more about that on my website. [link]

Hopefully in the next few months I'll have more than just graphite pieces up here. While I'm probably best at the pencil, I also do work with coloured pencils, watercolor, and my newest love, digital painting. So look forward to those!

Feel free to watch me, and please comment! I love the supportive atmosphere of Deviantart, and I expect to be around here for a long time!
