I've finally gotten my inspiration back and am well on my way on completing my stamp assignment. Once the UArts email portal is running again, I will show you the beginning of my progress (penciled draft).
I'm doing urban myth monsters, the loch ness monster, chupacabra, and Jersey Devil. Ink, watercolor, and some acrylic/gouache maybe. I'm really psyched about how the inking came out.
Unfortunate news about Rome; the deadline was back in February so it will be another year until I will be able to do it. At least now there is the possibility of taking some summer courses at CCC for my liberal arts classes.

I have a pretty good life with pretty good people in it, though some may try to dampen my spirits.
I am going to try and feel better about myself in multiple aspects and take everything in strides. Confidence is key to happiness, I've found.
There is always an impermanence I feel with the people I know and who are around me, but I will savor the good times I have with them.

Keep 'em comin'.

Update:
They get more detailed after inking.
