my gallery is back online here at deviantART.  i believe in the community.  and i love jark.

my prints are not back yet.  and im not sure if/when they will be.

but my computer is .. for all practical purposes .. dead.
there have been some horrible losses, that still make me want to cry.
musicinmyhead is building me a new one, and in a week, he is going to make an attempt to find the lost things on my computer.

ERIN and TRACEE, specifically, EMAIL ME PLEASE.
the commission stuff ive worked on for yall isnt gone, but i DONT have *any* of my emails from the past two years (which is the hardest thing for me to cope with).  and deviantART nearly kills the computer im on right now if its up for more than 5 minutes.
others who have commissioned me, feel free to email me, too.  but i dont feel right about working on yours until ive finished erins and then tracees.  theyve felt the brunt of my crappy computer and its slowness.

i believe justthorne has an interesting idea, that im willing to participate in.  a short journal entry about it is here: justthorne.deviantart.com/jour…
the rationale is here: justthorne.deviantart.com/jour…
and another important read of his is here: justthorne.deviantart.com/jour…

this is an art community, and i believe in sharing the art.  however without us, the artists and consumers, deviantART would be nothing.  i feel the administration has lost sight of this.

maybe it will make a difference, maybe it wont, but for one week i am hiding my gallery as a sign of support for the community, and the trust we need to regain.
this goes for prints, too.

it has been a great many days since i updated this journal.  or since i updated anything online, really.  ive been trying to focus more on whats going on in my life.  and even so, there are a great many of my friends who ive neglected.  (liquify, speaker, and musicinmyhead immediately jump to mind!)  i dont really draw much anymore - except for designs to execute in metalsmithing - which is going quite wonderfully, and i couldnt have chosen a better major.


school has quieted down enough that right now, im able to openly offer commissions, so please email me ( meredith @ black-elephant . com ) if youre interested.

i hope everyone is doing well, and is happy, healthy and in a continual search for improvement!
life is pleasant.   these beautiful spring days in texas wont last long.  im continually taking advantage of the good weather with a happy heart and open eyes.

a small christmas update.
school is out, and what a relief.  as much of a wonderful semester it was, it was really difficult and exhausting.  i made all A's.  i rule.

much of my family is joining our household this year for christmas.  this is the first christmas that my family will ever have spent in our own home here in texas.  for our entire lives, weve made the 6 hour journey up to my grandparents houses.  this year we spend christmas time here. im quite excited, especially since i started buying presents a full month in advance.  i have something specific for every loved one - friend and family.  all personal, all hand-picked or hand-crafted.  its exciting.  it really makes me excited about the coming holiday.  i have yet to mail any presents out though.  rats.

it snowed here in texas.  the day before i was out shopping in a short sleeved shirt with my windows full down.  and the remnants of the snow are still on the ground, three days later.  i love you, texas!

my brother and i:

i can almost pinpoint the exact time when my life became so wonderful ... when everything started to fall into place.  i see the events that at the time i thought were rather troubling, but now i see that they gave me a stronger constitution, built my character and pushed me to stronger ties to valuable people.

thats what i was most thankful for over this thanksgiving.  those little mishaps that brought me to this point in my life.  im truely excited about what is coming next and the people who are in my life.

we had the best thanksgiving ever, with the most beautiful centerpiece known to man-kind.  our christmas tree is clad in memories and looks dazzling.

however, i have a paper to write... due in under a week! alas! i have procrastinated far too much!!  yipes!

i will marry a cowboy.
