Hello there, this is Katana, also known as Kat in some circles. I'm your friendly neighborhood twenty-two-year-old illustrator/writer whose sarcasm is second to none and harboring the ability to verbalize the parentheses in stories. I drink coffee and draw like an addict and am liable to get you into things that I like. Currently the wielder of a BFA in Illustration and a minor in English.

Questions? Comments? Death threats? Feel free to PM or message me in some iteration. I'm always around, you just don't know it.

Commission Info

Edit: This is outdated. If you really want a commission (which would be pretty cool), you can get that information here. I threatened it, and here I deliver! Questions...

Sc-oooooore

So you know how I said that, with an intervention from God, I would get 5 A's and a B?

That intervention totes happened! I finally finished a semester with a good GPA (3.8) and am slowly on the path to recovery from my first semester with my douchebag music professor who gave me a D (overall GPA is at 3.476, though the rules of rounding allow me to make it a 3.5, so heeey).

It's somewhat of a depressing matter that my B came in Illustration - you know, my major. Though my prof pointed out to me in my review that my strong suit was color and he could see me really working well with it, which is good because Intermediate Illustration is alllll color. Illustration 1 and 2 are all black and white up until the last three projects (as you have witnessed), so the odds weren't really working in my favor.

Yes, I shouldn't complain. I'm not! I learned to let go of straight A's come eighth grade. I just wish I understood how getting 88.9 out of 100 points in History 111 somehow qualified me for an A.

NOT GOING TO ARGUE

(Posting up information on commissions later. Stay tuned if you care!)

I need your help, guys

I need you to get on your Facebook, or get a Facebook, or hack into your friend's Facebook, and like this link.

It's for the cardboard TARDIS that I made that post about. Like it. LIKE IT!

Man, my heart is pounding like the nerdy thing it is...

*is home for the summer yay*

And we're done

Hello world, I'm a junior in college.

If things go as planned, I'll be winding up with four A's and two B's this semester, a marked improvement over last (in terms of ratios). At worst it'll be three and three, at absolute best, five and one. So yeah.

Whee~

Judgement Day, Part 2

About to leave for my Illustration final, in which I find out if I passed review or not.

I'm really frickin' hungry but also want to barf. This is terrible. Today is also known as "coffee, tears, and doughnuts day" in our class. I'm afraid to indulge for fear of bringing it all back up. I don't throw up easy, but the last time I did was after passing my driver's test and eating dinner. Odd delayed reaction on that one.

Anywho, by the time most of you read this, I'll have updated the post saying if I have or not. Oh well. XP

10:36am Edit: Sweet baby Jesus I passed. Got points for being enthusiastic and having creative ideas and overall loving what I do. Yay~
