I thought it would be good to reflect back on my progress since the last entry. My life has changed greatly since then, but I am still very passionate about Art. It is truly my life. Its difficult to imagine if my life were different, where Art didn't involve in my life. Within just a couple of years, I believe I've matured much more, and closer to refining my talent, skills, knowledge, and my style. I was very fortunate to meet some people that left a great impression, and never forget what I've learned from them. It's difficult where I stand in Art, however, where my beliefs of Fine Art and Computer Art is being torn apart. I honestly don't know where I stand. Being a Fine Artist and a commercial Artist is greatly different from each other, especially their beliefs. Therefore, I feel I will eventually have to choose one field over the other, which brings both pain and sadness. One reason I can think of feeling this way is how my creative mind works. I work in a very unique way with a unique workflow. I have very specific beliefs (relating to my artworks) that determine how I do everything I do. And, I feel I have to exist in both fields to continue what I love to do. Of course, it would be a dream someday doing my artwork as full time while maintaining the cost of living. But, I wonder how having money involved would change it. Would I need to choose one belief over the other because of income? Therefore, I am back to where I am now; torn apart.

I loved Drawing ever since I was little. I have started using Adobe Photoshop since version 4.5, and loved the ability to create an artwork on the computer. I always want to try to make something simple, but also having an elegant, peaceful / calm look to it. As of right now, I am attending college studying both Art and Graphic Design. My dream / goal is to become a Digital Illustrator someday. My first web site I created was actually called Yos-Man’s Palace. It was a site where I could play around and have fun with. After some time, I wanted to make a much more serious portfolio like site. I don’t really remember how I came up with the name “Peace of Mind,” but it seems the phrase fits my style of artwork. I liked the first version of P.O.Mind because of its simplicity, but it was limited to expansion. The second version had a much bigger layout, and was easier to work with, but I got bored with it rather quick. I like this layout a lot more not only because the change, but it has a simple, professional - look to it. I guess we’ll see how long this layout will last. I wish everyone a Peace of Mind.
