IF DECK IS SALTY THERE WILL BE LASHINGS
I've been home, sitting in a dark house with no heat from Monday (Oct. 29) until Thursday (Nov. 1) thanks to wretched Hurricane Sandy. Power wasn't restored at the bakery until last Monday. I just went back to work a couple days ago, but with so little business coming in (because Hoboken NJ got pretty badly knocked around and transportation into Hoboken is broken,) our hours are getting reduced until things are back to normal. Which is scary, because right now I'm sitting in the middle of a blizzard. (There are some people who don't even have power yet, and its snowing. Great.) Sooooo I'm probably going to be opening up some commissions because I'm really going to need the extra money. More on that as soon as I figure out my terms and pricing. I would really love any suggestions you guys might have on what kind of merch I could sell. (maybe I'll create a poll, too. Hmmm...) I'm thinking about making some Christmas e-cards for you guys to send to your loved ones, too.
and now for some grumbling....
I know I've not been very active on DA in a very long while. I've been trying to branch out. My boyfriend thinks this site is not appropriate for a professional portfolio, and while I agree that I haven't given it the polishing it deserves, and its not the same as my very own personal website, I've been on DA for such a long time, I feel like its sort of become a big part of who I am, and I can't really let it go. I keep telling myself that there is a potential for reconstruction. DA has become so flexible and adjustable, you can turn your page into whatever you want it to be. There's no reason to just throw this all away if I could just make it look better. If you google my name, you're going to find this page, whether I like it or not, so if an employer wanted to find this stuff, they would. I don't really know whether to treat it as a burden or a security blanket, and I hate to admit that it might be holding me back. I feel comfortable on this site. Maybe I'm at a crossroads here, where I'll have to decide if I'm going to give my gallery the attention it needs to look better, or sweep this whole messy page under the rug and try to reinvent how I present myself as an artist. I'll admit, there are things I've posted here that I'm less than proud of, and would rather not let any eyes other than my own (and the select few who really love it for what it is.)
So, to sum up, I'm just not sure yet whether I'm going to keep my account on DA, or continue using it as a graveyard for old work I just don't know what to do with anymore, or to do a total make over so I can send potential clients here without the guilt and shame of knowing something that doesn't represent me as an artist might be seen. Blegh. At the moment, thinking too much about it just makes me tired.

Hey, to my loyal followers!!!
If you stuck around this long. I LOVE you. I'm also sorry for leaving you. I have been mostly not drawing for the past 5 years, (nothing much worth posting about.) I'm back because I realized I wasn't doing what I was always passionate about: Drawing sexy art, for people who love to see me draw sexy art. Well, enough of that. I will be uploading again, (I might still be more active on other sites, we'll see who's still kicking around here) drawing web comics, and later down the line, I'll be live streaming my art sessions. I hope you'll be around to join me! There's a lot of exciting stuff coming this year, and I'm eager to share it all with you.
That said, I will be opening my doors to comissions. PM me, or email Tynedraws@gmail.com
To see what I've been up to the past few years, you can find me on Instagram: www.instagram.com/tynealicious…
I'm also building up a nice little protolio on Behance, so follow me there: www.behance.net/tynealicio0548

IF DECK IS SALTY THERE WILL BE LASHINGS
I'm going to fucking get it done. This business of stagnating has got to end. I'm not usually one to do New Years Resolutions, but this year I've got a considerable number of goals.
1. Punch MacBolt is going to happen, goddamnit.
2. More concept art. Right now.
3. Not going to get sick. (ok, well. We'll see.)
4. No more rich people... or poor people... I dunno.
Whatever- ok. I mainly wanted to dust off this crusty old journal box.

Sweet Jesus.
No, I'm not dead. Holy crap, can't handle DA anymore. I joined a couple of groups which proceeded to swamp me with spam. Instead of addressing the issue right away I ignored it and, of course, it became monstrously worse. I disappeared back in... what, April? I think that was the last time I attempted to deal with the mess my inbox is in, only to be thwarted by DA's shotty "save/update" system. X( Christ, just thinking about it gives me a headache and the urge to run. Hopefully, this is all managed now.
I really want to come back to DA. I really do. I love the artists here and the community and the daily dose of inspiration. I realized recently that I desperately need that to survive. Its been suggested to me that I abandon this account and create a new one. I'm seriously considering it. I've had this DA account since 2003, I think, and it has art so old, I can't say it really represents me as an artist anymore. This is made even more embarrassing when I find out people are still favoriting stuff I wish I'd deleted ages ago. I'd like my gallery to fill me with pride, not embarrassment.
Would creating a new account be like running away again from my problems? Its hard for me to gauge if anyone really even watches my page anymore (aside from certain personal friends; you know who you are.
) I've worked hard to build connections with the people who show interest in my artwork. I love and appreciate you all and it fills me with deep gratitude every time I see another star or friend in my inbox.
Your thoughts and advice is always welcome and appreciated, guys.
