Dreams do come true.
Thanks to my bestie @enuffxznuff , she found me this undeniably badass/hot pic of dave. And now it shall be my Banner so I just thought I’d proclaim that c:
Challenge 144: 10 Years, Looking Forward: Open for Business
I tend to have a hard time living in the moment. I’m a virgo, very type A, so I’m always trying to plan and think ahead. When I think about the next 10 years, it’s hard not to look back on the past 10. While I haven’t been a part of Square Carousel for the last 10 years, I have certainly been growing and learning as an artist during that time. It was almost 10 years ago that I started my time at SCAD, and it’s strange to think how differently I thought these past 10 years would have gone.
Keeping that in mind, I’m sure my vision for 10 years from now will no doubt change and morph into something different, but I’d be crazy not to acknowledge how much of a better sense of direction I have now than I did when I was just a scared little freshman illustration student.
I’ve spent the past several years more deliberately trying to find my place in the art world. Square Carousel has been a huge catalyst in helping me discover my style and learn how to push myself and have discipline with passion projects. When I started as a Square Carousel member, I was living in an apartment I couldn’t afford, working a job I couldn’t seem to get out of, feeling like I was wasting my potential. Now, I’m newly self employed and pursuing my absolute dream of running my own letterpress stationery shop.
My dream for 10 years from now is to have continued to grow and flourish in my creative endeavors. While the planner in me tries to keep goals realistic, I do have a tendency to dream big, and my big big dream for the next 10 years is to open my own stationery store front. It would be amazing to couple a studio workspace with a retail space, and I hope I can make that happen some day.
This illustration is a sort of gallery wall of hopes and dreams. Some things are more abstract, such as the representation of growth or being able to savor more time with friends and family. Some, on the other hand, are more concrete, like the hopes to starts a family and open a storefront.
I owe this time with Square Carousel so much with regards to my growth and understanding of my place in this creative world. It’s been tough at times, but I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything.
-SCAD class of 2016
-I am a self employed graphic designer and letterpress stationer
-I hope to open my own studio/storefront and further establish my creative endeavors with a solid home base and a growing family!

Fuck your dream job what’s your dream hobby that you don’t have the means to take up yet. Mine are falconry and aerial acrobatics
Cinderella
When I look at you I just see that green,
That mesmerising green light in my dreams.
Oh I’ll follow it, forgetting the mean
That may have happened in nightmare’s screams.
.
When I hold your hand I travel the world,
A world of adventures for us to unveil.
I feel our routes caught up in a whirl,
Though let’s pretend we finally sail.
.
When I hear your voice I feel fair angels
And archangels gently caressing my soul,
Bringing peace to the loud and painful
Silence that for so long my joy stole.
.
It seems then that there may be hope,
That we can indeed all restore.
But let’s not be fools, the heart can’t cope,
The clock strikes twelve, no illusions more.
.

Yet ANOTHER piece from last year I touched up, it was originally a part of a series of pieces I did each depicting an ending this being the pacifist of course

Neptune in Houses
Neptun is planet of illusions, dreams, drugs, alcohol, karmic debt. It represents the ocean, some say Neptune is supposed to be the king of the ocean. It represents the confusion and fantasies we create in our heads. Idealism, hidden romance, sacrifice, spirituality, escape. Disillusionment -the thing we long for can sometimes feel out of reach, intensifying our longing or bringing sadness, disappointment, and a sense of loss.We can become disillusioned when the reality does not live up to the dream. But also represent our imagination and artistry
Neptune in 1st house- cover your bad qualities, good qualities come to the fore. People can see you as a dream person, spiritual, dreamy, you can emit fairy vibes. People with this placement can also have many pisces characteristics and their eyes can be larger and more accentuated. But Neptune can also cause confusion (for example: talking to someone and saying nonsense). This person is also uniquely gifted and mysterious. Neptune gives natives a special magnetism and a stare that could conquer anyone’s heart. They can read minds like others read books. Meanwhile, no one can see what’s really happening in their minds. Neptune also makes you an imaginative and artistic person.
Neptune in 2nd house- may have problems with debts, money. You can have too much unrealistic ideas. These people dream wealth. Natives can make a lot of money from painting or writing books. It’s often that people with Neptune in 2nd house give their last penny for tickets to a concert rather than keeping it for food or something else they may urgently need. You can have a lot of imagination about music. You can make dream music. Many people will be impressed by their vision and encourage their career or hobbies.
♀️Neptune in 3rd house- your voice can be gentle, calm, relaxed. People with this placement dream a lot and can spend a lot of times in their head. They love spiritual things. Their thoughts can often be chaotic, confusing. When you talk to them many times they may seem absent because they are always floating in their thoughts. This can also make them great actors. It influences the natives’ way of communication, their siblings, close-by neighbors. Which means they can have a confusing relationship with them many times. They can be great writers and artists as their soul is full of poetry and mind of philosophical thinking. But because Neptune affects your thoughts, these people can be subjected to substances many times. But they can also forget things many times. Also can have problems with studying because they can’t concentrate.
Neptune in 4th house- I would say this is one of the hardest placement to have for neptune & 4th house. Neptune is associated with illusion, dreams, unreality, lies, obscurity. This means that you can often feel misunderstood in the family. There can be many lies and secrets covered up. You may feel insecure and lost at home. Neptune in 4th house individuals will look for a safe home or perhaps the one they dreamed of as children. When you get older you will try to hide any memory relating to the places you grew up, in your subconscious. You may not felt warmth from your mom. You may also not have felt any connection to her, as if she didn’t care about you. Your father may probably the unemotional type, the parent who hasn’t been there for you when you needed him the most. Like I said Neptune can cause a lot of unpleasant problems in childhood. I have also seen many people have problems in the courts because of their family. But if Neptune is in good aspects then it doesn’t have to be that way. And in the end, you can create a much nicer family on your own than you had.
♂️Neptune in 5th house- good artistic ability, imagination is very rich and you are more romantic. Fantasizing about the ideal partner. You may may not see love as it actually is because you can have these rose-colored glasses when it comes to issues relating to love. Individuals are very good actors. It’s normal for them to have many friends and to change partners. Neptune here can also manifest in the longing to have a child and to feel totally fulfilled. Neptune here may also suffer disappointment and disillusionment when lovers or even children fail to live up to their dreams. You can also sacrifice a lot for children. Many people with this position have adopted children. Your love life involves a lot of fantasy, and often your deep need for drama can lead you to see things that you want to see. You might be attracted to lovers who you feel need to be saved somehow, but you could end up with people who are confused, distant, noncommittal, or dependent.
☔️Neptune in 6th house- individuals may have serious problems dealing with the everyday life as they think it’s not that important to follow a routine. Having this attitude and ignoring the most important responsibilities. They may suffer from some mysterious illnesses that can’t be diagnosed or have strange allergies that can’t be seen in others. They love animals very much. Neptune makes people chaotic, always late and dependent on others to do their job. Neptune can also make people dependent on drugs and alcohol. Could end up suffering from insomnia or panic attacks.Depending on what the aspects are. Neptune in this house can represent working with animals, spirituality. They can also be vegans.
Part 2 is comming
