Hello everyone, it's been over four years since my last journal entry here 🤯 In that time, I got extremely behind posting artwork, but successfully graduated from Boise State University with my BFA in Illustration and Japanese Studies, then I got caught up posting artwork, and have all the while been working steadily on my creative career! What I want to talk about today is even more recent than all of that, though. I'd like to announce my first dA subscription tiers! It was important for me to ensure a subscription here wasn't quite the same as on Patreon or Twitch. There are some similarities though: 💜 Discord Access: I think it's actually great that this is shared among all support channels. That way, no matter what your preferred platform, you can join the exclusive Studio Mikarts server and become a part of our awesome group! I post updates there that don't go anywhere else, and I highly encourage members to share their art, too! 🤍 Coloring Pages: This reward is shared between
Catching up for 2020
I am SO FAR BEHIND on submitting my artwork here! I'd like to blame it on returning to university, which has indeed had a major impact on my online activity, but I started getting behind last fall, months before school started, so that's definitely not the only factor. Whatever the reason, I'm very behind and I'd like to get caught up before the new year turns. DeviantArt (I'm training myself to use the new brand capitalization; I really prefer the old version though...) has been my art repository for 16 years and counting so I don't want to skip anything that I might like to look back on as part of the overall progression of my craft. STILL! That means I have a lot of work to do. I have work from 2018 that I want to submit, plus everything I made this year, which is quite a bit! I resubscribed as a Core Member today. There were two reasons. One, I was finally ready to let go of my previous username and move on to the name I use everywhere else. I've been animegirlmika, then
Journey into 2017
It has yet again been a very long while since my last update, nearly two years! Life has not been uneventful in that time and I thought it would be a good idea to put up a journal entry that covers the big news, especially since much of it directly affects my artistic endeavors. I don't want to spend too much time on this, however (I have art to create!) so I'm just gonna bullet it out :3
In February of 2016, I parted ways with my former employer. shumphrey (https://www.deviantart.com/shumphrey) made it possible to eliminate the need for my day-job so that I could finally make art my number-one focus and build it into a real career On April 1st of that year, I officially
Artist Alley Update
Hello everyone! My apologies for being M.I.A. for so long. My life has been really busy this year--due to both very good (getting engaged) and very bad (my oma's sudden death) events--so I haven't been able to check up on dA like I usually do. I've still been making art and have several active projects, but today I wanted to stop by and let everyone know what's going on with me and artist alley.
Some of you probably noticed I didn't have an artist alley table at Anime Oasis in May. The signups back in December were an utter fiasco and I was unable to secure a spot. Signups for artist alley have become more and more stressful over the ye

I'm glad you are thinking of your health! Being happy and healthy is far more important than how much stuff you've done, I think.
My 2012 is going by very well, and also very fast! I've been sewing like the dickens and every time I do a project I get better and learn more. ^_^
I love your little rainbow critter series! So cute!
Haha... Oregon Trail... a classic.
