I am an Ohio based artist exploring bittersweet themes through digital media.

Dear Creatures, my main series, is filled with works that contemplate the contradictory nature of women and their given place in society. At once soft and sharp edged. Magnetically attractive and repulsive. Innocent canvases where all erotic dreams are painted. Unsettling beauty is to be found in the darkest corners of the universe these creatures populate.

My style pulls from many contemporary themes as well as Japanese animation and art. Many of my subjects include depictions of lovely geisha-like Asian women who I considers the epitome of female grace and beauty.

I have an AAB in design and work as a graphic and web designer as well as teaching college design and drawing classes in Central Ohio. To see my design work please visit my studio site [link] I also produce commissioned photo realistic portraits. For more information please email me at laura@husers.com

Well I’m back! Where have I been? Well, for about the last 3 months I’ve been working 3 jobs. 1: normal web design day job 2: Teaching 5 college drawing and typography classes 3: working on a HUGE illustration project (it’s all very hush hush though so don’t ask).

Now that summer is here and school is out I have a bit more free time. But just a bit. I am working on a new digital painting with the working title of “These Precious Things.” And after that will be a digital painting entitled “Black Heart”.

In the meantime please enjoy my spruced up art portfolio website. [link]

Excuse me Bastet44

I have a quetion and a few comments for you as a comment on a Blood+ story 'The Unleashed Knight' you wrote on AFF.net.

First of all I really adored your story 'The Unleashed Knight' on AFF.net.

That story was amazing and beautifil to me way beyond the words can I express to you.

You should really consider writing more stories for AFF.net or Fan fiction.com

Your pictures of Saya and Hagi on lu.scio.us Hentai were very beautiful to me.

I enjoyed your picture of Hagi and Kai on lu.scio.us Hentai and you pictures on Y.Gallery.com a whole lot.

I just have one question about a picture\fanart Hagi in your art gallery.

It's called 'Naked Bowing.'

It's the colored version of 'Naked Bowing' on Y.Gallery.com.

Don't get me wrong now or anything .

Hagi looks very hot sexy and cute playing the cello nude and all.

I love the mental image.

But the expression Hagi has on his face looks like Hagi is angry irritated annoyed or upset to me.

Is Hagi perhaps angry irritated or annoyed with someone in your picture?

I'm sorry.

It's not a flame or an insult to your work or anything.

So please don't take offense to my question.

I was just very curious and wondering about Hagi's expression in your picture is all.

Anyhow that's about it.

By the way I love all your work.

God bless you Bastset44

Thanks for digging my stuff! As for Haji's face in that pic.... I don't know. I did okay drawing his body and the cello, but when I got to the face things went downhill. I redrew that pic several times but the face always looked wrong. So it's not that I meant for him to look angry, he just ended up looking that way. Not my best face ever.

So yeah, no big artistic idea behind his expression, just an off drawing day.

That's alright.

Hagi still looks pretty hot playing his cello nude in your fanart.

But with the expression on his face I thought Hagi may be upset or irritated about something and playing the cello was Hagi's way of trying to kind of cool off or Hagi's way trying to relax or something.

I guess I was wrong on that.

Sorry.

I see now that's not the case with Hagi.

Again sorry about that.

Anyhow the fan fiction you wrote on AdultFanFiction.net 'The Unleashed Knight' has seriously got to be one of the best Saya x Hagi lemon fan fictions I've ever read!

I loved it a whole lot!

You should seriously consider writing more Saya x Hagi lemons in fan fiction or adult fan fiction in the very near future!

You know if you have time to do that kind of thing.

I've only read that one fan fiction you wrote and I'm already a huge fan of your stories!

Your Saya x Hagi fanart on lu.scio.us Hentai.com is simply breath taking!

I loved it!

It was so very very hot and beautiful!

I really really enjoyed that fanart a lot!

I also really didn't mind your picture on Y.Gallery with Hagi and Kai.

I love yaoi.

Any type of yaoi is good enough for me.

I tend to be a bigger fan of any Blood+ yaoi I can find anywhere.

So the thought of Kai and Hagi together like that really didn't bother me since I could realiticlly see Hagi and Kai doing that as Saya sleeps in her 30 year sleep.

I am a die hard Blood+ Solomon x Hagi yaoi addict myself.

Perhaps you could do a fan fiction on FF.net or on AdultFanfiction.com based on your picture with Hagi and Kai on Y.Gallery.com

Mind you that's only a dumb request\idea on my part.

It's not a demand or anything.

Anyhow I love your Saya x Hagi fanart and fanfiction.

God bless you Bastet44.

Well, now on YT is a campaign against
diseñadors graphics, video speech says a graphic designer has a miserable salary, and that no future in society, and that's why I'm doing surveys to all designers in deviant art, about what you think about the truth of the design graphic

No future in society huh? I think this is the best time to be a designer. Our culture is more visually based than ever before. SOMEONE has to create all of those visuals.

The best advice I can give is have a base in print design (it can teach you sooo much) but really work on designing for the web, or for mobile devices. Basically design for screens not paper. It's where everything is headed.

As far as salary? The real problem with the industry today is that "western" designers are competing with designer from 3rd world countries that will ALWAYS under price us. They can ALWAYS do work cheaper because in general there is a lower standard of pay in those countries.

To succeed despite this global completion, you HAVE to have an advantage that makes the customer want you over someone in India who would do it for a fraction of your price. Mostly that advantage has to do with you talent. Show the client that you do excellent work so you are worth it!

I think we designers have a great future as long as we adapt and produce high end products.
