Another year in the books for extreme and tiring face painting! I worked a ton of days and pulled out my shoulder towards the end. I was pretty much did some long work weeks for 6 weeks straight. It takes a toll on my body because of how I paint and standing in one spot all day like a pile of pudding. I made more profit this year and so summer should be set. I ended up going to Tucson a few days ago to reset. Although it was too short. I need a good solid 5 days of good eating , light exercise and naps to recover. I did not eat well during October and ended up with extreme stomach pain the last week and a half so I am back to controlling everything I shove in my mouth. I still want to draw cards that are naughty and have a few linearts around that I am planning on. 

   This year has been the year of learning and next week I am taking 2 day long face painting classes in my area. I also signed up for a the first ever face painting online conference which is pretty much a 3 day convention online. My goal this year was to learn more and declutter...possibly eat better. So far I have gotten rid of my drafting desk and my exercise bike because living in one room I have little space. The eating thing went to hell and I steamed a bunch of sweet potatoes in pieces, cooked brown rice with mushrooms and cooked 2 pounds of chicken today. 
   
   I had a scary encounter the other day where I went to Walmart to do some banking and had a pickup pull up close to me. This guy gets out the passenger side with a windex bottle and I am assuming wanted to clean my windshield. I locked my doors and held up my phone to him and he freaked out running away. This sounds like a guy trying to make a buck to most people but my windshield is completely cracked right now so I think he was going to try to rob or kidnap me. It just pisses me off, I am trying hard to pick up the pieces of my life so I don't need that to happen to me. 

I miss doing my art. Since art is my job I burnout easily but I haven't given up yet. Have a saucy request? Please note me! 

Leaving for Italy tomorrow to visit family. Looking forward to this well deserved break. Once October hits I'll be painting everyday so look forward to that if you want to. Hoping I won't have a mental breakdown when I get back. It's been a stressful year but I'm still living for something. Probably to have a good cappuccino and some unsavory hobbies.

Hello awesome followers! I am still drawing plenty of things and creating stuff. I unfortunately had a friend and mentor in my life murdered a couple of days before  Christmas. It really messed me up to my core and I have been ultra down ever since. I worked with them for 4 years and considered them a friend. They taught all over the world and even designed the cinnabon cheesecake that is at every barnes and noble café and every cheesecake factory in the states. They were the most creative artist that I ever met and being ended by a gun over jealously is really sad.  I am only now picking up the pieces up by getting back to the grind of busting my ass to find more work and to draw more stuff. My life is pretty much the same, I have a jobless partner of almost 7 years now. Feeling kinda alone losing 2 major friends in the past 6 months. Things haven't been going well. home life and such. I will keep posting my artwork and just know that I appreciate favorites or a few words on my content. Hope everyone is doing alright! 

My account was suspended for a few weeks as my content was seen as not ideal.  Not sure where I am going to post what I love to do but I will keep giving it my best shot! If you would like to look at more recent works or buy some cheap artwork starting at $5 check out my ebay www.ebay.com/usr/prismahamster… . I am posting new work up to 3 times a week there. I am also open for commissions which start at $10 for anything you want trading card wise. 

I've been trying to get back on the drawing trail. I am still focusing on aceo atc cards at the moment. I actually bought some drawing art supplies..eep! I am doing this to have an outlet from my face painting which I do almost every week now sometimes 3 days a week. I am a bit burnt out on the face painting but it's my income so I will keep at it! Most cards I have been putting up are for SALE! I bought myself a fakku membership and it has been doing wonders for my erotic art inspiration. The art cards are a hobby but who knows I could get good enough to do something else with them like draw a short comic or something. Next week I will be in Vegas probably hogging everything giant bathtub I can find and throwing a bath bomb in it. I might be able to get some line art stuff done. Stay tuned!-Christina
