New Blog!

Hey everybody! Just started using blogger yesterday, trying to get settled in with my new layout and whatnot. I already like the look of this one a whole lot more than the previous.

I'm also trying out ads to hopefully bring in some kind of extra money. Currently Chelsea and I are planning a move to Seattle this summer and are having a hard time with the funds. Trying to get that goin as much as possible. Need to be around the people :D! No more desolate forest living... Moved here in order to make myself improve my art(as in I couldn't afford to live here when I moved here so I had to get better work) and have happily made the transition into more reputable freelance jobs!

Pressure is a great motivator for me. Sometimes it may seem like a crazy idea to just jump into the fire and basically just try as hard as possible to grow. But in the end its all worth it, or thats my opinion anyways. I've been doing this sort of thing to myself for the past 2 years or so. When I started I was living at home and just jumped right into an uncertain job position in Illinois(I was residing in Massachusetts at the time). I figured that even if the position fell through that I would have to go right at freelance as hard as possible in order to make the rent every month. Of course the position fell through and I ended up doing just that :(.

Now I'm living in New Hampshire and have been for almost 2 years. Still working at that pressure but have finally started to settle into some good freelance. My couple years in solitude gotta come to an end, can't just live in my house 12 hours a day everyday anymore! Driving me crazy haha. So Seattle it isss!

Anyways, if you do find yourself in a position where you aren't satisfied and are lacking motivation... Always remember that you can use pressure and fear to just force it out! You may not want to do this for a long time as stress is a killer... But whatever works!

If any of you are having trouble studying or whatever else, feel free to drop be the Crimson Daggers study group! We meet everyday @9am EST, 2 GMT!

and heres a random image I did to test how Blogger uses image uploader!

Crimson Daggers

Hey dudes! Don't got any new art to post sadly... But I got a good amount on the way that I'll be able to show. Just waiting for it to get published. Other than that I'm workin a ton this month and got some pretty tight deadlines. So aside from the LiveStreams I don't know what I'll be able to put out.

That being said, I plan on taking the LiveStream sessions to the next level! Starting within the next couple days I'll be doing hour long morning anatomy studies on LiveStream! Together we'll all take on Loomis and as we progress through the streams we'll move onto painting from life, perspective studies and all sorts of good stuff. They will most likely be at 9-9:30 am EST and run til 10-10:30 am EST. Hopefully I can get a good amount of you to really get into studying everyday so we can all move forward!

If you want to join, and be serious about it... You can drop me an email - rapozaster@gmail.com and I'll add you to my mailing list! Let you know the times and hopefully in the future move onto assignments we can all complete. Anyways, I really look forward to getting this all started!



This pumped group will be called the CRIMSON DAGGERS. You better be ready to soak the competition in blood, to conquer lazy thinking and procrastination! Be ready to take hold of everything it is that you want out of your work and scream to the god of the Crimson Daggers that you crave Crimson blood, sweat and power!! D:

its gonna be awesome!

Look forward to seeing you all there!
