welcome to my photo journal. i take all these pictures.
i don't do this for attention, this is just simply how i express myself and my life.
i use Photoshop CS to edit my photos with.
your welcome to take them and make them in to icons, layouts,
but if you do please tell me.
Don't claim that these are not mine, or that i did not take them, because i did and i put a lot of work into these photos, thats just rude.

P.S.
You guys are great. Thank you so much :)

My Sketchbook Breathes

It's been awhile. School has been going well so far, I'm loving my Ceramics class more everyday. I've never worked with clay before so it's exciting to learn something new. And my birthday is coming up on the 4th!! I'm so excited! Zephr (my boyfriend's band) is playing a show on my birthday so it should be fun.
Anyway,
I've been drawing a lot since school started so here are a few sketches that I played with on photoshop..

Drawn from a magazine picture


I started this when I was... 13? And I decided to finish it


Inspired by a picture. The background is watercolor on watercolor paper that I scaned.


Drawn from the mind of Rachel :)


I stared this from a picture but I strayed from it quite a bit.

I went to Taylor University yesterday and today to visit. I really like it there but I'm still not sure if I want to go there. I got to sit in on an oil painting class and a digital photography class, and it was very cool. Their art department is really nice, and thats good for a private Christian school. I need to make decisions, look for scolarships and start praying!

Hope you all have a lovely day

But the glory goes to God. He gave me this passion and he made this beautiful world to take pictures of :)
