Soooo.......you're an artist.
Wannabe artist, more like. I've still got a long way to go. You've no idea how much I envy Hamster and SabreWereWolfQueen_84's ability to work so quickly. For me, every single picture is a long, tortured process. But... since I've only just started (around the same time I joined here), that's all I can really expect. ^_^
As long as I keep at it, I'll get better with time.

I'm going to take a wild guess that it's How to Draw Animals by Jack Hamm underneath that book.....I haven't seen many artbooks that are yellow and I spy what looks like that lion's foot that's on the cover. =P

Yah, I love the Boston Bruins. My favorite hockey team since I've been a kid.:
My Desk N Stuff:

Well, there's a lot of crud on this desk, that's for sure. Too many art supplies, not enough space, to sum it up. You can tell an artist lives here by my desk...especially my funny realistic manniquin that always ends up being contorted into some weird shape. Stuff on the desk from left to right-ish is my CD/PSX game rack, my new Lexmark printer, CDRs, HI-8 tapes and cassettes, my Disney daily calendar, eraser, PSX-to USB adapter, CD scratch remover, my lamp with various erasers and rulers in it, a package of this nifty bristol board I got at the RISD art store that's already cut 8 1/2" x 11" for printer use...no more measuring down for me!, a box of Derwent pencils, brushes, various papers, bottles of ink and white out, my cup of pencils/pens/more brushes, my funny manniquin, my electric pencil sharpener.
And finally, the first page of the werewolf webcomic I'm drawing taped to the desk with some of the panels sketched out. I really need to work on it some more as it's been taped there for about a week now and I've only spent like two days on it out of that week for like less than an hour. *sigh.*

Tacked to the walls are various newspaper comics. Lots and lots of Garfield, Adam @ Home and FoxTrot, which are my favorite comics. The map on my wall is a map of the Boston Area that I tore out of a hotel phone book in Boston, 2001 ish. A last minute thing to remember MA by as that was the year I moved to WA state. Oh, and can't forget about my Japanese Toei Animation Festival poster I got from a comic book shop in MA and got framed. It's awesome, ne?

The crappy Dell Inspiron that makes all artwork, music, and interneting possible via the nifty wireless connection in my house. Also, more art crud with an old Staedtler Lumograph tin I keep my sketching pencils in and a white box that is actually a field sketch watercolor sketch. And a flashlight, and my MP3 player.

And my small book/magazine piles in my room. Again, an artist lives here, the majority of my art books I actually use are in this one little section.
