Currently, for some odd reason, I'm considering a career as a portrait artist. Although it's not really odd when you think about it. My subject of choice is always human (clothing optional) and I'm always searching for some way to convey emotion through my work. What better way to do all that and get paid at the same time? Granted I'll have to deal with annoying client requests about minor details... but there's a definite market out there for those with a few thousand to spend.

Got my hands on American Artist's Portrait Highlights issue, and the figures as well as the numerous techniques discussed are all attractive. I don't plan on doing it indefinitely, mind you, but it'll be a great way to pay for college.

Just spent a good three or four hours working on a sketch of Tim, and the image produced was quite good. For a start, it looked like him. And it has that moment of sheer ecstacy he has during that one shot from the band's "Shining Light" video. But karma must be balance so, naturally, my scanner is incompetent and cannot register the more subtle shades of graphite. Grr.

Other than that, not much has happened.
