Tough People Do

First, I will admit I stole my title from a song by Trace Adkins "Tough Times don't last but tough people do" but it’s appropriate for what I want to say and share with you all.

  This isn’t tagger or Clipart related but it’s something that touches most of us today. September 11, 2001 and Americas’/American’s perseverance.
 
For any of you who do not know much about the United States of America and it’s history I will do a sort of quick run down. America was being taxed on everything and England had refused us (the colonies) representation in the House of Parliament so we did what people do when they aren’t being treated appropriately we revolted and we fought to be our own nation. This is the basic most simplistic description of our revolution with England.
 
    Throughout our history the United States has been faced with extreme adversity both man made as well as natural. We never seem to know the word quit and this is something we all should be proud of.
The Great Depression, WWII when so many of our young and old men went to other countries to help with the war on Nazi Germany, disasters like hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, the Wild fires in the west, September 11,2001 when our country was attacked for whatever reason a foreign faction deemed appropriate, even what is now called “the great recession” We cry, we scream, we suffer from PTSD, yes and sometimes we go to war.

    That isn’t what I want to focus on. What I want to focus on is this. The United States of America never just lays down and says we’re done. American’s as a whole do not know the word quit. We pick up our tools be them pen and paper or a hammer and nails and we get back to work when it’s all said and done. We take our time to greave, we say our prayers, and when it’s time to rebuild New Orleans, the World Trade Center, most of the western USA we do what has to be done.  I want to tell you both American’s and those of  you who aren’t, that THIS is why American’s are proud of our country. It’s not the stereotype of rednecks and guns, everyone being rich (which we all aren’t) It’s the never say die attitude America/American’s have.  It’s the fact that as a whole we NEVER EVER give up hope. We keep on keeping on. I know there are other countries who are just the same in this respect but it’s your country and you should be proud of it just as American’s are proud of America.

        We find heroes in our everyday lives in everyday people. People who won’t just stand by while one person beats on another because “it’s not their business” Granted there are still people like that in America but as a whole we as a nation feel it is our duty to stand up for the little guy and if that means building a house for our neighbor who lost it all in a wildfire then that’s what we do. We have people on an airplane in Pennsylvania who brought down a plane for the greater good, gave their lives to save the lives of others. Firefighters and Policemen who didn’t run away but towards a burning collapsing building in NY 11 years ago today. A teacher who calls CPS because a child comes to school beaten and bruised, a Dr. who donates his time in a free clinic. We are America and we are proud and we have EVERY REASON TO BE!

 

New Girls Sent off to AIL

Well,

I have sent off two new “packs” of clipart to AIL I hope you all like them. I also have some plans for some winter tubes/clipart but first I have to finish up my custom morph character for the 3D content stores I sell at and also complete the item I promised to one of them for their Halloween give away.

With the start of the fall season fast approaching I will be extremely busy trying to get 3D content products out, seasonal clipart and the freebies coming up. Plus I get to help my sister (you can find her blog here) potty train the hellion we affectionately call Ick. Please don’t be too upset if I can’t post every single item I add to stores. If you want regular updates during the fall season/holiday season you can follow me on twitter @AngelicArtwork or my fan page on Facebook. Also, one of the things I am planning to work on in the next month or so are some Facebook giveaway. I am thinking the first one will be a custom character for V4 or A4 (poser or Daz studio useable)

Anyway, here are the images for the clipart I sent to AIL today.

Wrapped In Love

 Well, recently I haven't been feeling myself so to be honest this is the reason I haven't made any posts since my revamp of my clipart blog =S However the last few days I have been working on something totally out of my element with the hopes of feeling like getting back into some art. Here is my latest piece "Wrapped In Love" I will be sending it to AIL probably after the weekend as I have a couple more pieces I want to work on...ok one but still...
 If you're looking for some of my old clipart pieces I will be sending those this coming week to AIL as well so don't worry lol
