Seven Shades: It's a New Day

There's an awful lot of newness going on in my life right now!

New state, new city, new house, new furniture, and a new life to get started on! I've even got some new art to share--in a minute.

I've recently moved to San Diego with my significant other, who has come here for a graduate degree. At the moment, I'm looking for work, since money is a good thing to have--and since I'll rather need it if I mean to pursue my true dream of attending art school. The place has taken some getting used to, and setting up our new living quarters has been no small feat! But we're pretty much all the way moved in now, and I've been slowly becoming familiar with my local surroundings. To my great delight, I'm still within walking distance (about an hour) of my beloved Pacific, but it's definitely too cold to go swimming for a big wimp like me. It's still wonderful to be able to walk to the top of the hill and look down on it, though. Feels like home--the rest will all take some getting used to.

So! In between job applications, I've been working on my giant list of Gaians waiting for their free art! I'm growing ever closer to the middle of the list, and am feeling very accomplished--even though the move put a halt to all progress for almost a month. I feel like I am improving, though, and when I get the chance, I've been trying out new art programs on my tablet. We'll see if I like the feel of anything better than Photoshop. :3

Here's the new batch! Enjoy!
