Welcome to the thunderjornal!
i awoke today feeling good, i've been away for awhile; moving into a new house. i maneged to find some time to make a quick sketch, and go online to post it, after i sletched it i was relieved to find out that i could still draw at my normal skill level. after that i went around my dev watch and found to of the most upsetting things (artisticly) i've ever heard. Orphan works
[link] and Omar-Dogan's jornal
[link]"The only art you really do is the art for yourself, everything else is for everyone else. The whole idea is that you have control to do what you please, when that control is taken away from you, you really are reduced to a slave. Perhaps a high paid slave, but a slave nonetheless."
both sicken me diffrently but nearly equaly, and with state of the comic book industry, it's already hard for an aspiring artist to get notice and get paid for doing what he or she love's. the dream is dying for me, and i don't know what to do.
on top of that, gas prices are crazy high, we're still in iraq, heith ledger died, charleton heston died, corrine bailey rae's husband died, and none of them got nearly as much coverage as britney spears day-to-day life, the people i actualy like in the entertainment industry, are being slamed by hurt. and they barely get so much as a foot note. and my friend

is doing real bad, he's just been hit hard by medical problems, my prayers are with you man. and not to mention how many times my faith has been attacked, my idenity as a christian, my faith in my own religion is nearly depleted, now thats not to say anything about the God i believe in. but the corrupt, hypocrital, people who are seen by the whole world, honestly i don't blame people for hating christians, we come off as ignorent, self rightious, fools in the media, but thats to be expected i guess.. i just feel so...sick about all of this. my faith in my God, and my faith in my Savior still in tact, i can still go on with my life and not let the sheer pressures of it crush me, but come on this is just a really shitty set of happenings for everyone. with my dream's in danger, and heart saddend, i ask if im the only one who see this?
thanks again from the thunderking!
