Hey guys, I'm in France! The Study Abroad program at my college caught my eye a few months back, and now the trip is in full swing. I'm in the heart of Paris, a bit south of Notre Dame.

I have a new laptop for the trip, and HP Touchscreen model, so I can draw directly on the screen. Unfortunately, Photoshop appears not to like it, or vice-versa, so I'm using Corel Painter. I'm still getting the hang of it. I like traditional media anyway, so submissions will probably be photographs of my work. Certainly not scans, as I don't have access to a scanner at all.

The cheese and bread are good here. Last night I had falafel. Yum. And gelato, chocolate and vanilla. MANY times yum.

Schoolwork is keeping me busy. Updates will be sporadic and probably either sketches or photography. Expect them on Thursdays, which I have designated for myself as Get Stuff Done Days.
