Hi all

Long time no hear from me... ya things have been really hectic with personal life issues and work. For those that don't know, I have graduated from SDSU with my Bachelor's in Graphic Design. However, since I worked at the library as a student assistant while going to school, there was an emergency hire for a full time, temporary job at library. I couldn't pass it up as I need a steady income to start paying off bills and save to pay off my student loans...And that deadline is coming up next month Both loans equal about $14,000, which I know isn't much considering but for me its alot of money. If I can figure out how to consolidate em I am hoping I can have them paid off in 5 years.

In the meantime, I am still sending out my graphic design work info but haven't heard anything solid yet. There have been some random bits of work but the problem is just that-- it is not consistent for a full time job. So right now, the library is working out great and I was happy to hear that even as a temporary I still receive medical benefits. My temp job ends in January so I have applied to 2 other permanent positions that are in the library that I'm capable of doing. Fingers crossed I hear sooner rather than later.

I have restored everything back to my dA account, so no more hiding If any of you guys have tried contacting me on my other dA account Nobody I'm sorry but I've forgotten my password and apparently the email I used for that account. So this one is still going to be the one I'll be on when I'm on here.

As far as art goes-- Sadly haven't really been able to do that much. A few pet portraits here and there but nothing else. Have been seeing videos on Facebook about keeping sketch journals and I really wanna try that out. If I can't think of anything to draw, there's plenty of animal pics I've taken at Seaworld and random pics on phone. For some reason I really have been thinking about trying to draw/doodle cartoony versions of people. _{as all u guys know, I can't draw people very well, except for cartoony}

Well that's all I have to say for now. Hope everyone has been well and had a good year. Can't believe that it's almost Thanksgiving and Christmas

Due to personal reasons, I'm sorry guys but I will have to leave deviantArt.

Please note me if you would like to keep tabs with me elsewhere.

I can't get into it here but something personal has come up and I need to stop uploading to this account. I'll still post art somewhere else, but perhaps its time for a fresh start.
UPDATE:
All deviations will go in storage for the time being.

Go to 
captameliasmollet.deviantart.c… to note you for more details.

I love all of you guys and I truly wish some things were different but at this time, I have to lay low for awhile. Not sure how long that'll be but i have to keep like Only communication could be on here if you note me, but the other account above I can fave stuff, and just keep to commenting for now.

I will let you all know as soon as things become different.

I really like how the little drawing came out 


So I'm wondering if I can try just a quick little experiment for myself with you (my friends on here) 

Would you like me to draw your pet's portrait on these little 5x8 boards and send to you? I only have like 25 or so left. I will have to order some more if I can find them on eBay again and if I get a bunch more requests for them.

I would really like to try and I should be able to send these to you as well.This size would only cost you $10-$15 depending on subject.
I will also be able to ship these to you as well

If you like them and would like a bigger picture done, then I would charge little more money (which would go to buying supplies for myself to create more art) 

Just please note I am a full time student here at SDSU so if I don't get back to you right away chances are I'm drowning in HW at the time. However, these little drawings don't take up much time at all to complete so I will be able to do them without too much stress.
