Guys, I can't seem to paint a galaxy/nebula for shit! I'm not the biggest fan of wet into wet when it comes to watercolor, but it seems I need to use the technique for this background I'm working on and I'm sorta... dare I say it? Stuck! I'm gonna continue well into the morning if I have to, because I want to finish this current piece to submit to the American Illustrator's competition. One day to figure out how to paint a nebula. Ooof. At least I don't have a quitter's personality, haha.

In other amazing news... I finished painting the mural I mentioned earlier at a store in a mall here in NY. It's obviously the biggest Illustration I've ever dealt with in my life, but it seems to be landing me additional mural jobs around the area so I'm happy for it. I never thought that I'd be going from small, 7x10" watercolors to 34' wall paintings in acrylic interior paint. It's not the direction I want my artsy career to go in, but I'm taking what I can get in terms of freelance jobs. It's good.

In other, other news... photography gig is still going well. I've been picking up my camera less and less since I feel as if I don't have the most interesting subject matter to work with, so hopefully I'll be able to plan a trip to Arizona and California for a change of pace sometime within the next few months.

Other than that, life is life, hitting it up day by day. As always, just wanna thank everyone who's been supporting my pieces here on DA- I always appreciate it, dudes and lady dudes!
