I get to participate in another chalk contest in a few weeks! This year my pops and I are participating together I'm super excited! If you live around the Provo, UT area definitely come and see all the amazing art!

My best friends mother has been diagnosed with stage 4 secondary liver cancer last week. She has been recovering from already having breast cancer so this was a turn in the wrong direction Me and my friends are trying to help donate to her cause. I have decided to help fund that I will be taking art commissions (I don't claim to be amazing, but I want to help in any way I can). I can either do digital works or sidewalk chalk drawings. If you live in the state of Utah (preferably around Salt Lake City), I will come to your house and create a drawing out on your sidewalk! Send me a note if you are interested. If you are interested in donating directly, go to www.gofundme.com/debiheywood
I'm a poor college student, so I cannot donate much myself. But I want to help as much as I can! You can donate as much or as little as you want.. Even if it's just one dollar! Every little bit will help towards this goal. Please please please help towards this worthy cause! Debi is an amazing mother, daughter, and friend.. I've learned so much about her and I don't want her to leave this world so early. We would love any donation you are willing to make!

I've been so overwhelmed by all the feedback I've gotten on my sidewalk art! When I checked this morning I had over 1000 messages and I'm on the third page of popular in 24 hours. Thanks so much I'm a little embarrassed because all my other art is from jr high and high school, and it makes me seem like an emotional little girl haha. But anyway, thanks to everyone who likes my art, I really appreciate it!

The past year I have gotten quite a few messages from people saying "Hi! I used your stock here [link] thanks!" So I would like to say

MY ARTWORK IS NOT STOCK. IT IS NOT TO BE USED IN YOUR ARTWORK FOR ANY REASON UNLESS YOU ASK ME FIRST, BUT CHANCES ARE I WILL SAY NO. IF YOU POST SOMETHING WITH MY ARTWORK IN IT, EVEN IF YOU CREDIT ME I WILL REPORT IT TO BE DELETED. BY USING IT YOU ARE STEALING MY WORK.

If you really like something I've made, chances are I've used someone else's REAL stock, where they have rules and permissions that I've followed. By using my artwork as stock, you are using their stock, but discrediting them by not mentioning them in your piece. If you've really liked something I've done, use their stock and try to recreate it yourself. Or if you're really desperate, you can ask me to make something for you. I would be much happier to create something for you than find out you've been stealing my artwork.
So yeah, don't use my stuff, it is not stock, it's my own artwork I've created with other peoples stock. If I've found you've used something of mine I will report you and your piece will be deleted from the website.

Honestly, just get a brain. It's obvious my stuff isn't stock.

So I feel like I've grown up a lot these past couple of months... I've hardly had time to draw, photoshop, or anything really. But I think the most important thing is that I feel like the styles I've done in the past just don't represent me anymore. I'm not really into photoshopping eyes or people much anymore, I'm really into college and math though (I'm a math major so it's probably good I'm into math)
I probably won't update hardly ever on here, but if I feel like I find a style, maybe I'll start uploading again
