All about me!

Well let me see here, where to start?  I've never really done any blogging before but when I heard about this opportunity I really was sort of excited for it to be honest.  I guess we'll see how it goes.

My name is Alec Monson.  I am currently a freshman at BYU.  I am from Centerville Utah - just about 20 minutes north of Salt Lake City.

I served a mission in Detroit, Michigan which is a whole other world.  I never really served in the inner city - mostly just around the suburbs and such.  There are so many experiences and culture differences I can't even begin to talk about them now.  Maybe later if the subject comes up...

Anyway as I said before I'm a freshman here at BYU.  I'm not entirely sure what I wan't to study yet.  Currently I'm in the 2D Studio program within the art department.  That's mostly drawing and painting type stuff for anyone who would like to know.  I really would like to do illustration but I'm not entirely sure yet.

Here's a paper bag a drew for a value drawing my first semester back in 2012.


That leads me to some of the things I enjoy doing.  If you haven't guessed yet, I do enjoy art.  Any type of art.  I love it so much I'm hoping to do something with it as I've said already.  I also love to spend time with my family outdoors.  We love to go boating and skiing and mountain biking.  We also love watching movies together and really just having a good time.


This was at Bear Lake just about a month ago.  We usually try to stick to closer places but Bear Lake water is one of a kind!

I am the second of four children.  Two siblings are in college as well and one is in high school.  Anytime we can get together and catch up is a great time!  We usually get together amidst one of the above activities mentioned.

Well, time is short and that's about all I can think of for now.  That's probably all you've got time to read anyway!  Until next time.

  1. Alec! Hey buddy! I can't believe how long ago it actually was that we were sitting in seminary class, while you showed me all of your sweet sketches. Like you said, we are both into very similar stuff, and I would love to catch up some time.
