Ultimate Defiant Gal by ~BackAlleyScrapper

Pockets Maggie Hart fastened the last button on her coat and stepped out into the cold. The plane yard was nearly empty now. Men were seated in their cockpits, taking down pictures of wives and girlfriends and other lovers from their dashboards, collecting any personals still in their fighters. The war was over. Maggie marched with her head down to her plane farthest from the barracks. One of the young men in his cockpit leaned out as she passed.Pockets by ~BackAlleyScrapper
"Saying goodbye to ol' Lucille, huh Moxie?"
She looked in his direction, but kept walking. Lucille, Maggie's plane, was the only other girl in the entire Air Force.
She reached Lucille and pulled


The Edge of America I sat there at the edge of America, looking out across the ocean. The cliffside dropped off before me, so it seemed as if just one more step would send me careening into the waves. The waves comforted the unseen beach below with their soft, white gloved hands. As I listened to the slow turning of the water, I tucked my legs into my chest and rested my chin on them. I was so tired. My head was weighted with a weariness that no sleep could abateyears of pressure kept it firmly against my knees. The pressure fell upon me like waves themselves, squeezing tears from my eyes. It slid from my shoulders and sunk into the ground. Slowly,The Edge of America by ~BackAlleyScrapper

My name, for your intents and purposes, is Back Alley Scrapper. However if you aren't particularly known for quick typing, you can call me BAS; most people do. I am 14 years old and a 2-year veteran on deviantART. I dabble in most forms of art but my main focus is in good ol' drawing. I also love to play around with digital art and graphic design, and occasionally you may find me with a piece of clay between my hands or with a paintbrush poised over a canvas. I've been making marks on paper with a pencil for as long as I can remember and have recently focused on honing my skills for a possible future career in art, graphics, design, or advertising. I have recently upgraded my mediums to include Photoshop and inking supplies. </sub>However I am still unsure if I want to go into an artistic field or if I would rather do it on the side as a hobby. I get all A's in school, and aspire to go to Princeton or another Ivy League school when I graduate in 2012. I love most kinds of science, my favorite being biology. I find the human body and the animal world fascinating. I like to write and read as well, and I have written one book already about one of my characters. I am weaker in math but still get along in it, and I find that some history can be intriguing while others subjects bore me. I love current events and am a big advocate for many things that go on in the world. My main goal and part of my reason for my membership to this site is to improve, plain and simple. If I can make some money with my talent somewhere down the road, then great. But my first priority is to be 'that kid' in the grade that can "draw good". I use deviantART for a source of encouragement and advice, and I hope if your muse strikes you, you'll have the time to leave a comment. Regardless of how much activity I get on this website, I'm here for the long haul. See ya' around! |
