LOOK AT YOUR LIFE, MORGAN
Well, after having a look, it seems alright for now. I've graduated from high school, will be leaving everything I've known for all my 'formative years', for a place out in the middle of nowhere five hours away in the desert, next to one of the biggest canyons in Texas.
Oh yes.
The gameplan, for now, is to go into West Texas A&M University (which is a satelite school for Texas A&M at College Station) pursuing a masters degree in business and accounting. I'll plan to transfer to the main campus from the satelite school after my freshman year. A&M didn't take me right off the bat, so I'm going in the back door. The cheaper back door, too. Anyhow, I'm skating off to do this on the grounds of getting a means of supporting myself while I try to make my art career in illustration my main thing.
A lot of people, a lot of artists, have told me that I don't need to do this. That, at the level I'm at, I could go to school for animation or illustration. This, I must say, is VERY flattering and does my confidence level untold good, but my parents would be chewing their nails off, waiting for the economy to crash forever and myself to get laid off from a business that is no longer needed.
This might sound irrational to some people, and I can practically hear the eyerolls now. But, I love my parents to death. They've given me far more than cloths on my back and a roof over my head and love. They've done their job well and done their best to fullfill a parent's duty: to make themselves unnessicary. To ensure that when I hop out into the world, I'll have a general idea of what to do with myself when faced with monitary, moral, social, and political situations. They've even done their best to teach me what to do with power, when it's given, which is a blessing I don't know that many have. That money is a tool like any other, and it's better to make it work for you than to work for it. That sometimes it's not what you know, but who you know. That hard work pays off and that standing up for what you believe in is the right thing to do, even when it's not the popular thing to do. That with privlidge comes responsibility and obligation. That one should think for themselves and question everything.
That is a BIG gift! And they ask for so little in return! My parents are both in their 50s, and are only getting older. I don't want them to worry about their daughter when their daughter is out of the nest. If I can give them some peace of mind that their daughter will be able to take care of herself in any situation, I think I owe it to them. Especially when they plan to fund most of my education and help me with cost of living till I am graduated and can support myself in a job that isn't flipping burgers or stocking shelves!
My art will be there, I know that. Even as I'm learning tax laws, I'll be fighting to build my reputation as an artist and sharpening my skills. I've got a game plan.
But enough about me! Have some art!
Oh yes.

Moar Tellu Comic Madness
Colored Tellu outfits
Clothing is difficult for those unacustomed to them.
Tribe ladies in their various colors. I promice the tribe names will be more inventive than 'Brown', 'Red', 'Purple', 'Blue', and 'Orange'. Promice. These colors will apear a lot more in the comic, making for a very intriguing setting I hope I can pursuede the reader to take on faith. The best settings are like that in my opinion. For anyone who has ever read (or needs to read! http://rice-boy.com/) Rice Boy, you know that the setting was something that the reader took on faith. It was so crazy, that you didn't expect it to be explained, it explained itself. When you're dealing with a fantacy setting, it's tiresome and horrible to explain every little detail, so, the best kind of fantacy setting explains itself. That is what I hope to achieve.

Valentines Sketches
Some sketches for cards from this last valentines day.
I think the sketches are cuter than the finished products, honestly. :P
