Hey there!

I know I have not been active on Deviant Art in quite a long time. A lot of things have happened in my life, and it's a little to much to write about here.

If you are still interested in seeing what I've been up to and wish to follow my work, you can do so here:

www.graphicthrill.com

I still check back here once in a while, only to find very nice comments and favourites. It means so much to me that people are still visiting my page and enjoying my work even after my many many months of inactivity. Thank you so much.  Feel free to contact me at any time. I would love to hear from you.

Take care,

Lain56 a.k.a Leena

Gee wilikers (sp?) I've been away for quite a while, but you may have noticed some random things of mine popping up lately (whaaaaaaaaaaat?). Yes that's right, IT'S SUMMER TIME!! That super special awesome time of the year where I'm relatively active on dA.

I guess I should get you up to date with stuff. I finished third year of university in design (whaaaaaaaaaaat?) Yea, can't believe I survived this far. Fourth year is gonna be super intense. I also got a promotion at my job. I'll be the production manager for york university's newspaper. I'm starting this new hectic and stressful position next month. It's quite a bit to manage with school on top of it all, but we'll see how it goes.

I have a blog! It arose out of boredom and also because my portfolio website is going to expire! and i don't want to pay for more hosting as of yet..cause i'm a poor student and stuff.. OTL

In other news, I have become a narutard ;-;

<---me
  

I KNOW!!!! I can't believe it either. I stopped watching Naruto years ago, but I started watching Shippuden and now I can't stop. I don't mean to diss Naruto fans because I feel like I should be doing some fan art or something. The story has gotten a lot more interesting, but there is definitely no end in sight so I should probably just give up on it, I wanna know what happens!!! ;-; sigh* I am also obsessed with Arizona Tea, and I've found myself scouting every convenience store for new exotic flavours I haven't tried yet (it's probably not as popular in Canada as it is in the states, so most stores only have the same three flavours). It's kind of sad. The other day I found a place that sells them, BUT THEY JACKED UP THE PRICE! WHAT THE FRIG! It says 99c on the bottle! Damn you!!................gives in and hands over money.

So check out my blog if you're bored graphic-thrill.blogspot.com and check out my portfolio site before it blows up in a couple of days (nuuuuuuuuuuuu!) www.leenasalemdesign.com

Big thanks to all the new watchers, I really appreciate it. Thanks for the support and for reading this sillyness!

Check out this awesome avatar my cousin just made for me!!

AND...

Prepare for a massive upload from me. I have some stuff left over from the craft show that will be for sale, plus some interesting school work I would like to share.
