I'm more of a traditionalist, but I have been using my iPad for both writing and I've started drawing with it too. While I do have a drawing tablet for the PC, I prefer to draw on paper. (I'm just not any good with the thing really). Something about paper is much more personal to me. Most of the drawings I've uploaded here are done in pencil. Sometimes I color them, sometimes I don't. I also write short stories now, including an on going series called The White Shadow which takes place in a Fantasy setting that I've spent a lot of time crafting. Though this is now moving to be a book instead of individual stories, but I won't leave out the option to do a one shot here and there at some point. It's really hard to tell with the way things have been shaping up.

Someone may notice that I tend to take a while with a project. This is true. I tend to work on multiple projects at one time and there is a reason for this. I used to work on one at a time, but I noticed that by doing so I was losing perspective of the overall project. I now work on one thing a little here and stop to work on another before coming back to it. It helps me focus on sections at a time without being so absorbed that I lose perspective for the finished version. If I work on one thing at a time, I often get so absorbed that my focus will be solely on that area I am working on and mistakes can happen that hurt the overall outcome.

When I was a kid, I used to draw all the time. I'd slack off a bit and then get back into it. Back then I wanted to be an architect more than anything else though, and when the time came for me to decide a course in high school, I was left with a decision to take either Art II or Drafting II. I chose the later because I figured it was more practical to my career goals. I think that was either 1992 or 1993 and that's when I stopped drawing anything that wasn't related to my career path. Looking back, I wish I hadn't. I haven't been interested in architecture since right after high school. It wasn't until 2011 that I started drawing again. I still tend to take spells where I do not draw anything and then out of the blue there will be a resurgence.

I used to write songs and poetry when I was in school as well. And continued to do so for at least another 5 years after high school. I then got into writing stories. I had a few novel attempts, but I wasn't able to finish them. There was a short story or two back then too. I can't even remember the year I stopped writing, but as of 2013 I've started writing again.

I'm into video games, comics, movies/tv, and I enjoy reading as well. Even though I grew up on a farm I am not much of an outdoors person.
