I'm busy.

Walling? Not really.

Working? My ass off.

Drawing? Yes, a lot.

I'm too busy with work and freelance work to really do anything other than basic moding on the site, so if I don't reply to posts, comments, PM's, or drama, then it's because I'm just too busy. Unless it's drama. Then I'm probably rolling my eyes and ignoring it.

I decided to retire as staff from AP. I'm just simply too busy to do much moding, so it's time to make way for new people to help out.

About Me

I've been walling since 2004, and using Photoshop and Illustrator since 1999. yes, I'm old. I currently reside in the south. After spending 22 years of my life in New York, I decided it was time for a change. I currently work as a web designer for AT&T as well as freelance out of my home for a variety of clients doing both web design and animation.
I work all hours of the day including on the weekends, so my time for making walls is rather limited. Plus, I have more important things to focus on than making wallpapers like improving my ability to draw. This doesn't mean I've "quit" making walls, just that they will be very few and far between if I do make them. I am happy to give people critiques on their wallpapers so long as they are patient with me and don't mind me taking a while to respond. People tell me I work to hard, but in reality, I can't get enough of my job. That's what happens when you love what you do.

First of all, I'm sorry to have disappointed you in any way, hopefully I can keep from doing so again. Now then. Thank you very much for your comments on my APclash entry. Though I left the face off for conceptual reasons, I definitely understand your criticism as I wasn't entirely sure about the decision myself.

Thanks again!

Well, its all about moderation, support and some nagging at the end of it all, you know. If you set a minor schedule and go with it partly there is no problem.
Ofc there have been times i got sucked into it but nagging did the work then, you know, you women got your ways:P
By the way Topography & Geoinformatics is way more interesting than i imagined it to be, im realy surprised by the courses that come up semester by semester.

Thanks for the comment and constructive criticism :). I'll keep in mind about the color usage in the future.
I understand it is abstract, and not as clear as it could've been. As I took this more as an experiment, I wasn't holding very high expectations for the wall, and I agree it's not the best I've ever done or will do (I hope not).

Love almost everything about this wall. But wtf is up with her feet?


In all honesty, I did her feet super last and didn't have no idea what to do with them. So I kinda just rushed them. I know, shame on me. (-_-); emoticon

But I'm glad you like everything else!

DO NOT DISAPPOINT ME MEGATRON

Lol, not Miwa Shirow apparently, but some guy copycat it, China it seems have reached its hands into the anime industry too.
enjoy that 5cm per second anime by them and you will see what I mean.


I work 9-5 and come home and work some more (cause ya know...i can't say no to freelance). I'd LIKE to tame some time to wall something...but when I actually HAVE free time, I'd rather go play the PS3 or read a book or draw or something.
Oh well, maybe I'll wall something in 2010.


well, I think if we all don't make time we should make some, otherwise there is always no time. I like to think in the future when I hold down a 9-5 job I would still be able to go for my marathon training daily.

As for walling, don't force yourself lol, it is not like I am demanding you to do it.
