Hobbies: Selling artwork, Concerts, Conventions, Traveling

I've started to sell my artwork at my own college (ShopColumbia) during the Dark Market, and later selling fan art at C3 Expo that year. I plan on advertising my artwork more this year for the annual Dark Market, C3 Expo, and hopefully InkFest. I love attending all kinds of concerts but my favorites are rock/metal, indie, and alternative music. When I am not during work or college work, I am attending conventions and cosplaying! I've participated in contests, and gone with friends while I still can! For traveling, I love exploring all kinds of places with my partner Kevin. We plan to take a trip to Mexico to his meet extended when we graduate in the upcoming years
