Started a romantic fling with my roommate, turned out to be that I'm now dating the love of my life. Brianna Nicole Sumner. I'm nuts about her and shes been feeding me with passionate feelings since then. Definitely something that will be effecting my art from this point forward, and I would not be surprised if it effects it for the better. I've been happy, I feel it in my bones. It's amazing.

Fraternity is still going steady, I had to get cut back from an executive position due to me not making grades the previous semester. Might be moving back into the fraternity house, so we'll see how that goes.

..
Economically

So Im broke. Just blew through a student loan. It definitely sucks but right now, as it stands, I'm working a sales job in the middle of the mall selling cell phone cases and accessories making steady money. It's easy, fun, interesting, and fairly well-paying. That's definitely something to be grateful for, I just simply needa learn how to budget my money. I'll get there though.


..
Artistically

Shit's crazy. I tried some new substances, felt new feelings, made new relationships, lost some old ones, and simply went to new places. I can not even begin to predict what's gonna be coming to life on the canvas, and Lord knows I will be rusty, but I am quite excited as well.

Another Day, Another Dollar

Making new connections daily. Got a steady going job right now as a server for anyone wondering at a Lebanese Cuisine restaraunt. Being Lebanese myself, I fit right in. Its a really nice job and I get a small cut of the tips from the night so Im happy. I'm going to my first rave ever this weekend, 420fest. I honestly can't wait, it sounds like its gonna be the night of my life. And not just that but I'll be soo inspired to design, I can already feel it.

Things are definitely bouncing back up for me. Been very friendly and confident with people lately, and my parents are quite trusting. After our move to Corona, and my hugee room adjustment considering my living space's collosal size, Im growing quite fond of it all.

Economically

As mentioned earlier I've got a job as a server at a restaraunt. It's nice, about 100 to 150 a week and on top of that with allowance, small graphics jobs, and taking freshman lunch money, I get about 200 weekly. With the right kind of budget, Im doing pretty well Id say. The new room I've got though is running me quite a bit, as well as fixes to my car such as replacement bulbs for my headlights, new brake pads on the front axle, and other such misc items.  

The fight isn't about winning, it's about being remembered as the one who fought for a cause..
  

Artistically

Very excited with some new work coming out. Going to be coming out with a very nice collab with my buddy Agiaco and a second with Aaron Polcare, also known as ArkAngel. No more resources in the future unfortunately, I want to be known as an artist for my work, not my brushes.

The rave itself will give me alot of inspiration, so expect a lot of stuff that will be very much party- and rave-scene oriented. I can't wait to get some new stuff poppin, and I hope you all feel likewise.

Sincerely,
Samir M. Nasr

A New Look

Journal Entry: Tue Mar 10, 2009, 10:34 PM

I lost a best friend this past week. It's been really quite difficult for me adjusting but I'm going to have to. I don't want to get in depth on what happened but I definitely messed and had it coming. Not much I can do now unfortunately. Boxing has been taken up more seriously, going a good two and a half hours daily Monday through Thursday. And my mother and sister are now out of town for a week and a half visiting family in Lebanon.

Things are hectic mentally and emotionally right now. It's definitely too much to type. Just take note that this will be taking an effect on my work, it will be noticeable. I will also be designing a lot more considering I have so much going on in my head right now.

Economically

I've got nothing to say other than the fact that I need a job. I thought I had one but the manager ended up flaking on me and never calling me back after promising me a position on the weekends. The Economy sucks right now, what can you expect?

Truth is not determined by how many believe it..
  

Artistically

As is obvious, I'm going for a new look. I want to be fresh, I want to be high quality, and I want to be able to print every single one of my works on a large poster. All recent deviations have only been 25% or so of the actual image. I've received a bit of graphic advice from my friend Anthony Giaco, also known as agiaco who you can find in my friends list. Definitely give him a look. Im working on a few new pieces, concerning many different topics, so look forward to that. Show me some love, the support is always appreciated.

Sincerely,

Wow.

God I've missed art. And AGAIN, I'm back kids. I have TONS of ideas, imagination spilling from my ears, and I'm itching to start having Photoshop fun again. Obviously, I've returned. I dont want to say that because last time I did, I simply dissapeared again 3 days later. But after nearly a year of hiding in my cave, I'm here to bring you all digital yumminess.

I'm getting a job soon, definitely gonna get a subscription as soon as that happens. Love you all. Hit me up. And again...

Expect great things. They will come.


Always,

Okay so I never thought I'd get this far. But guess what? I did!

Hah. Basically Im back, and Im gonna start being active as far as graphics go again. Majority of my graphics will be logotypes and website designs, which Ive been working on lately. I will do some art pieces on the side but not as often as I used to.

Also my subscription ran out and I can't afford to renew it. If anyone would be generous enough to renew it I'd love you forever. You ain't gotta tho. Just something Im throwin out there.

Id type more but it's late and I have to wake up at 6 tommorrow so goodnight dA. And. Just to clear this up..

Hello, World

Journal Entry: Thu Aug 30, 2007, 7:38 AM
A New Journal, New Piece, and New Day



First off I wanna say a HUGE thank you to my coder for doing this CSS Journal. Everyone show him love, ~Dunki3 came through for me and did the journal the same night I asked him.

Ive been workin on a couple collabs lately, the latest one being with ~nofx-br as you can see in the piece My Dark Scheme. I've also been working on a piece with *Uribaani. I'm not gonna release any information on it just yet but I tell you all now, it's gonna be quite a piece.

As far as my solo work, I have a few projects up my sleeve that will be released in the coming month. Again thank you all for the love my fans show me. I never thought some of my work would become this popular.

So take care, and be on the lookout for some more art.

My stats are OFF THE WALL! And it's all thanks to you guys. Thanks a ton for supporting me. To be dead honest, I would not be where I am now if it were not for the support I've received. Yes, there are many that put me down, and shove me around when I really don't need it. But those that lift me up, and give me positive criticism, thank you.

My new Splatter Brush Pack is here! It already has about 80 fav's and it was up only a couple days ago. Downloads are crazy, Im getting fav's on my vector pack v1 like nuts. And the past 4 days I've been getting HUNDREDS of pageviews. Please keep it up guys. And thank you to everyone whos been watching me as well.

What can you guys look for, you're probably wondering? Well I intend to create professional logotypes soon. These logotypes will all be for sale unless stated otherwise, so if you wish to purchase one, contact me via Notes.

Also I will be learning 3d, so expect some abstract 3d vector works. Besides that, the rest of my work will be surprises. Thanks again for all the support guys! Keep it up!

My activity is now at 110% percent!

Okayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! The movement is now in motion! Just released a new piece, My Slice of Paradise. That came out quite well, if you ask me. My page now has over 3,000 views!!!!! Thank you EVERYONE for the support. Really, it's appreciated so much.

My brush pack still is growing, with over 16,000 views and over 11,000 downloads. Keep fav'ing the pack if you haven't yet guys, it raises the popularity. I'm gonna try to start an adCast compaign soon to increase the traffic on my page. Stay with me, I love all my fans' support. I really appreciate it.

Really when it comes down to it, thank you ALL! I would've quit gfx a while ago if it hadn't been for all the encouragement I get from others. So please, keep it up. I love you all.

Also, expect a 3rd brush pack quite soon!!!!

My activity is now at 110% percent!

I know I know, I went on a bit of break before. But I released my 2nd brush pack, which was also a great hit. The first brush pack ALMOST ALMOST ALMOST has 10,000 downloads! Help me get there guys cmon you know we can. Favorites are always appreciated, that hasn't changed. Something DID change though...

I am going to now actively make an LP every week. I may throw on top of those LPs, logo sets, brush packs, or some other form of misc deviations. But I promise you all now LPs everytime. I have some great collabs coming up as well. The ideas I have are endless, so expect my creativity to flourish beyond belief.

You can expect collabs with some great names like JRM, Agiaco, and other such artists.

As far as my fanbase currently goes, I love all of you. 2500 pageviews. My v.01 brush pack has almost 10k downloads. Keep faving, keep watching me, keep commenting and supporting me guys. It's what keeps me going. Thats all I have to say for now, but expect some great work coming soon!

Back from Hawaii baby!

I took a 5 day vacation guys, I know I know, you missed me right? Hawaii was chill, we stayed in the Marriott on Maui. Fine girls, good food, nice service. Overall a real good time. I tanned like craaaaaaaazzzzzzzzzyyyyyyyyyyy.

Anyways, due to the vacation, i haven't got any new work up but I do intend to be releasing a new Brush Pack soon with vector, tech, and other misc brushes included. It's gonna be hot, so keep an eye out for that. It'll be a sequel to my previous brush pack, since that was such a hit. I may turn this into a nice series. Def watch for that.

Well, that's basically all there is to say. Peep my page, keep an eye on me for any new work. Me and Atlas should have a new LP collab coming up and other works I'm coming up with. Shoutout to Rosie, that beautiful photographer, and ArkAngel, my wannabe gangsta brother for life.

Hey everyone, I'm sittin here chillin bored. Tryna find a reason NOT to do my homework. If you don't already know me, I usually go by MindFrame. My logo/avatar will then be self-explained as MF. I also use osiris2735, or my born name, Samir.

Currently, I do all my work in Photoshop. I'd love to learn how to draw or use Cinema 4d. I LOVEEEEE comments and +Fav's, so if you like any of my work, feel free. I'll update this journal as I go along.
