hello there, everybody

yes, yes, it's true, but i might leave dA. not for any bad reason, simply because i never come on anymore. my messages have exploded (over 300... theres no way i can answer all of those in my tiny schedule ) and i feel bad that i haven't commented or said hi or been able to come on. i've been so busy lately, all i've had time to do is guiltily fave and run. (even then it's only one or two before i have to jump off).

there's so much i wanted to show you all, i've been very hard at work on my art, and it's improved a lot. i have tons of new pieces siting in my room and at school, unable to photograph or scan or anything. just no time. having my things on dA is just making them gather dust. so i am very sorry about that.

but i wanted to let you all know that i have loved being on here, i love looking at everybody's artwork improve and grow, and i've made some great friends here. you have all inspired me and made me laugh and smile
so i'll try and get back on soon to let you know whether or not i can stay on.

love all,
shay

i got my wisdom teeth out today.... i get to sleep all day and do nothing and look like a chipmunk and eat RIDICULOUS amounts of spaghetti-o's, but i tried drawing and of course, the IV hand they had to end up using was my right hand. (they accidentally missed the vein when they tried it my left hand, i have tiny veins.... ) so my hand was all weird still and i could barely drag my pencil across the page!

so much for trying to start the contest entry for .......

I finished my hand painting! planning on photographing that this weekend. i also did a shoot of my cats again, this time they're much older (one year) so its fun to see how much they've grown

getting the rest of those up this weekend also


all contest winners! please, i need to know what place you got, (if you remember) and then re-tell me what you wanted. i know that the first prize was a full watercolor/pencil piece with the winning design and a background, the second prize was a watercolor painting of you choice of character or OC, no bkgnd, third prize was a colored pencil drawing of your choice of character or OC, no bkgnd, then i think it was fourth and fith were pencil drawings, but i'm going to make it so that fourth and fifth get colored pencil drawings of their choice of character or OC as well, and that second and third can get simple backgrounds, seeing as i have (guilty... ) made you all wait so long, and i sincerely apologize for that.

so if you could comment and tell me again, i would surely appreciate it! (dA deleted my old journal with it in it for some reason....)

my mouth hurts.

so i'm back! stress and school have attacked me.
but i've been doing a lot of drawing lately, my hand painting is nearly done, and i've been busy falling in love with oil pastels in a new way.
so besides a busy life, i just wanted to let y'all know that i'm alive and working.

sorry for never ever updating.....

i'm ashamed


hope to update things soon, i took photos of my cats again.,.. and they buuuutiful <3

so i'll try getting those up here soon.

love all-
SHAY


OH!
contest prizes.....yeah, obviously, i've failed at that. i am so sorry guys, i really am, my life's been so busy lately i'd pretty much forgotten about dA in all!
i hope you still like me....
but if you tell me again what you wanted, i'm promising all of your prizes are colored because i've taken so long.
....and if you could tell me what place you came in..... i'm so sorry guys, i really am. i have a horrible memory when it comes to a time span that big.

so along with that, i won't be here for a few weeks, i'm sorry i haven't been on much lately, everybody who's faving my work, i really do appreciate it! i'm very sorry i don't have the time to thank you on your pages, i really am trying to get it done. it takes a lot of time on my computer....
so sorry about that. but i am really thankful to all of my watchers and to the people who fave my work. it makes me really happy.



the hands! the hand painting is almost done. the book is what i'm on now, using coffee and thick paint to create a texture there. it's really coming along nicely. i want to get that up after the musical also.

so thank you all! hope you enjoy your stay, long or short, feel free to look around my gallery or what not.
i have to re-subscribe! garrr i can't believe a year went by so fast. i really REALLY need to get that done. somebody remind me in a week! (haha, jk, i'll prob remember)
i want to ahve a contest again soon.... maybe i'll give away a 3 month subscribtion or something along with art? but well i haven't even done my other contest prizes so scratch THAT.
i still need to get those done. can you believe it? i'm a lazy bum who has no time and i'm STILL really sorry i need to know what everybody wanted again.....
