I'm sitting here going "If only I had some place to write about and digest what I am thinking about....oh hey."

( Let's start the party. The pity party. Sorry. There isn't cake. )

BTW for the people who I have followed NOT from it, this is the friending meme I mentioned:

I really need to get a new set of icons going on here. These ones are random and painful like...2006.

I'm not sure what best to post, so I'm gonna just...start with a basic intro post. And feel free to ask questions! I love talking about my self!

( So first I was born... )

So the rp community has helped me out a lot this last year. Not just my rp buddies, but people across the whole community. It has meant the world to me, and literally kept me from being homeless. Not just the commissions (though those are also wonderful) but replurks, sharing of my art, kind words, and of course people playing with me.

And I wanna pay them back some how.

So comment here, with a picture of a character you would like an icon of (Or just point me towards their current icons). One icon per person (not character), but if I have not done yours, and you want to swap out, feel free to comment to your original post to swap out. You can also request emotion, etc and I will do my best.

My art can be found at the Atomic Pixies tumblr. You can also check out our website Studio Fae X.

These are going to be done in my free time, at a slow pace, between commissions and real life, so it might take forever and a day to get it. I might also end up like one of those "Comment here and get a personalized whatever in your inbox!" that travel around tumblr but I'm gonna try really, really hard not to be. 

Also, I do not have comment notifications turned on for this post, since I'm assuming it's gonna get some replies, so if you have a question of anything (or would like to commission me for more art), PM or plurk me at penguinfaery 

So I keep wanting to keep up my journal, and I keep thinking about it, so here it goes!

A brief over view of the year since my last post...six months ago. Uh.

I have started a tattoo apprenticeship, and I am loving it. It is the first thing in a long time that is like YES THIS. I mean comics are like that, but I can't survive off of them. And I'm good at it, I have all my gear and a really awesome, laid back teacher (my friend Amanda's cousin), and everything is just going really well with it. Amanda is also learning to pierce, and we are talking about, with some of the other girls, opening up a pin-up themes tattoo parlor, where all the employees have pin-up personas (Bunny the Atomic Girl here) that is just very open and friendly to everyone. 

And we can sell comics and art prints in the front and it'll be amazing. But it's also some years off. Still, the idea of working at a job I really love, doing art, and being able to live off it...yeah I'm pretty excited.

Speaking of art, Fae X has been quiet. Quietly planning. Because of the wedding, and Sarah's health, we sorta put it on the back burner, because we didn't really wanna half ass shit. But we are getting back into the swing of things. We are reformatting Forteanaville, just into a different publishing style (Because buying a chapter for $5 just didn't seem to be working) We are going to release it in novellas, and possibly but the chapters up for free/cheap on Amazon for digital download. And Helion is kicking back into steam as well,

In addition, we are slowly developing a new series about post apocalyptic liquidators (for those not feeling linky, people who went in and cleaned up nuclear radiation, particularly after Chernobyl) in the future, after a war with an alien race. It's cool, trust me. But won't see the light of day for a few years.

Just in general, I have become like a walking encyclopedia on radiation. It's...sorta weird. But awesome? IDK.

I'm almost done with school. Hopefully next semester. Knock on wood. It's still...school. I got nothin. 

Still into hunger games. Now also into Adventure time. Probably also into a few other things again. Also Supernatural got good again, so into that. I was really worried there.

The trend of toxic people being gone in wonderful ways continued. Got rid of one nasty thorn in my side, that I hadn't realized I had gotten use to the toxic nature of. I really, truly...you see those motivational things all the time that are let...don't let people be around you who don't deserve it and man, I cannot expound that wisdom enough. I use to cling to people no matter how bad the relationship was because I was so scared of being alone and the grief it caused....blows my mind.

And I am almost at 2 years of living with Sarah and my wife, and everything is wonderful.

Oh.

Oh yeah.

I GOT FREAKING MARRIED.

:D

We got married on 10/19 in Central Park, and it was gorgeous. And then we had an awesome reception. And I love being married to Be, she is the love of my life. Here are some pictures:



(my favorite)





All of the above are from my bridesmaid (and oldest friend) Holli G.



And us at our reception!
