Well Deviantart, once again it's been a while but it's good to still be here and have this great site to post things. Over the course of the past year or so I've been thinking a lot about how I want to progress career-wise and was having a hard time pinning things down. Around October of last year I realized that I had always enjoyed various creative things in life and particularly enjoyed a lot of animation. Now, I can't draw for shit and so doing actual visual art hadn't been something I hadn't really considered at all since it didn't seem like I would be able to with my crap drawing and handwriting. So in comes motion graphic and digital art. I started messing about in Illustrator and After Effects making little things and found that I enjoyed it quite a lot, and that I could put creativity to use in a digital form even if I couldn't do anything impressive with pen and paper. I was lucky enough to find out about School of Motion last December and was able to get into their winter semester course on the basics of After Effects. Now, at the end of that course I feel WAY more confident in motion graphics even though I've still got a lot to learn and I'm excited about hopefully being able to move into a position where I'm doing this for a living at some point.
To more adventures in art! I'll keep posting new stuff now and then as I make it.

Forging ahead out of the darkness.
It's definitely been a crazy 4 years since the last time I wrote a journal entry on here. So much has changed I could hardly say I'm the same person anymore. To highlight a few big things that have happened.
Married ~nekoaxel (https://www.deviantart.com/nekoaxel) in June of 2012, continued to be awesome together ever since.While we finished our degrees at BYU we had a string of events lead us to realize that the religion we were a part of, and in my case had grown up in was a complete and utter sham. We realized that Mormonism is a cult and we wanted out. That being said, there are still tons of nice people that go to church there we have no issue with them. But after much
A New Chapter
Well good grief it's been a long time since I wrote one of these. Being gone for two years on a mission to South Korea does that to a guy. I've been back in the state, and back on the internet since Christmas but for some reason I kept forgetting to get around to updating this. Oh well, better late than never right?
Anyway, the mission was amazing. I can't even begin to describe the convolutions that led to 1. me actually going on a mission and 2. being where I am and doing what I am today. As of the last time I posted, my plans to actually go on a mission were pretty shaky and for the most part I felt like it just wasn't going to happen. W
The wintry day, descending to its close
It simply blows my mind that there are only 19 days left in this semester. Only 19 more days till these guys I've become best of friends with will all leave for two years. It seemed like only yesterday we first met, and now we're packing our bags and heading our separate ways. It's sad, but its that kind of sad that's subtly happy.
I won't be going home to the place I've known for five years. My family moved to northern Minneapolis a month ago, so I'll get to check out a whole new house, a whole new neighborhood, and whole new city. It's kind of exciting actually, I've always wanted to live in one of the larger cities of the U.S. There's jus
It's Come...and Gone again...
For a short moment in time...the yearning was quelled, the lonely nights were once again warm and wrapped in joy. It was only for a few weeks, but it was heaven. Holding her in my arms by the fireplace, proposing to her officially (another story which I may or may not divulge here), and last of all baptizing her into the church all culminated into creating the best Christmas break I have ever had.
In the end, when our time was up and the train whistle called my name to return to BYU, the parting was not as hard as the last. Tears were still shed, but this time we knew what we were going into and that we had gotten through it before. Plus, th
