Hey yall. I just realized I haven't updated my journal since like May lmao OOOPS!

I have been doing lots of new things lately. I moved first of all. So I'm getting used to the city, and meeting new people all the time. I was quite busy looking for work and going on interviews the past few weeks. I think I have something now, so hoping it will work out.

I haven't been doing a whole lot of art lately, just the odd thing here and there. I have a lot of projects to do though. I am currently gathering ideas for 2 hats I'm designing, as well as 5 skateboards, a digeredoo, a pair of Vans slip on shoes, a mural on my wall, and a pair of snowboarding boots. Wow when I write it all down it seems like so much more than I realized... I have a few ideas for comics and stuff too, just need to find time to sit down and do some toons.

I met an artist in the city, who is doing some interesting projects with some other artists. One of which is the digeredoos. They are long tubular instruments that we are designing, with the hope of selling them, or putting them on display in stores. I haven't started mine yet, but I was thinking an urban kind of theme, with buildings and roads and cars and street signs etc. If anyone has anything to add please do.

I recently painted my room lime green. It looks very fun, and I like it. I want to paint a mural on one of the walls...but I don't know yet...any ideas? We painted the living room a really cool purple color. It's like intense, but not a girly flowery purple. My friends call it the Joker house lol. But it's fun and welcoming so I enjoy it.

I was thinking of renaming my design "company" from Shortywear to Julian. It's simple, easily remembered, and it is because of that comic that I started designing stuff in the first place. I know some people will think Julian is the artist, but I don't really care about that. I don't want my name or my artist name (shorty) in the name of the co., so it would almost be like having a pen name, like for authors or whatever. Please leave an opinion. ...Anyone here who has facebook and wants to join my facebook group for my designs, here's the link: [link]

I would love to get to know yall better. what's everyone's fav medium for art? fav style of art? fav artist? fav song? ...and why?
