New Camera

I recently learned that I was accepted into the Science Illustration Program at UC Santa Cruz. ScienceIllustration.org. Woo Hoo! After 3 long months of waiting, and a full year of preparation I feel like I can finally breathe again. Not only is this program going to put me on the path to do exactly what I want with my life, but it is also located in one of the most awesome cities I have ever been. My family plans on driving me across the country at the end of August, and I feel like my life will start anew. I’m going to take full advantage of this wonderful opportunity.

I got a Rebel xsi for my graduation present. I have been playing around with the macro lens in hopes that I can get some super detailed shots for references for illustrations.  Its fun to just play around with too. Before I leave in 1.5 months I plan on gathering as many references and begin training my mind to get back into the super-realistic drawing mode, which is easy to fall out of.
