Happy end-of-2007, start-of-2008!
Let’s look at the year in review, as 2007 has been good to me– accounting for my 2nd and 3rd semesters at junior college and quite a lot of knowledge-accumulation as far as art goes.

-Displayed a few other works of art (and as of today, the 30th, my artwork is showing at the Fallbook Library)!
-Artwork published in Bravura, along with 1st prize for visuals
-Did quite a handful of commissions, including a business card, several T-shirt designs (will upload those soon) and started working on a children’s book illustration project.
-Sent portfolio to CalArts!
-Kept a 4.0 GPA!
-Went to Belize, Cozumel, Honduras, Mexico and, for the first time, HAWAII!!! (and I’m going again!)
