New Toy...

I have a new toy, and when I get something I love, I enjoy sharing my fondness with others!
So, got to my art blog or click here to see a quick little video of my new toy! It's awesome!

New post over at Sproductions!

paint + shoes = awesome.

Creativity can inspire some pretty awesome things.

Over the last week (roughly) my best friend Mowii and I have been painting shoes.
2 pairs, one for each of us. Mine, was an old(ish) pair on Converse-wannabe's that I got for $10. No harm done if we totally messed up. Mowii, on the other hand, was a very brave soul and went out and bought ACTUAL Converse for us to paint...
And let me be the first to say it, I think she was rewarded for her bravery.

Good times had by all, lots of laughing, as well as stained clothes, paint in hair and everything else, and lots of frustrated yelling at inanimate objects...

The Wanna-be Asians...

This was a dinosaur Mowii sketched, that I insisted she paint on my shoe. Kinda a spur of the moment thing. It wasn't originally Asian, it just turned out that way, which lead to the rest of the design...

Epic Battle Scene

What can be more awesome than a dinosaur? Well, a dinosaur fighting a panda, of course! This epic fight scene includes dinosaur done by Mowii, Panda by me, a burning city and spaceship. We've kept the original Converse logo intact to make the design look more finished.

All in all, we are VERY pleased with how this fun project turned out, and have already have had handfuls of requests, without people even seeing the final product!

Dark Garden

I once had a garden filled with flowers that grew only on dark thoughts but they need constant attention & one day I decided I had better things to do. - Brian Andreas

Then one day when I was in the garden I started thinking back on a summer day, which had been one of those perfect days ... with everything glowing as if lit from within. I had felt like I was floating, beautiful, loved by all and I loved everyone, but when I stopped remembering and looked around my garden... everything had died. What a sad garden it must have been. - Sarah Pee

For the past few days I have been spending a lot of time over at StoryPeople, reading 'stories' and admiring art.

You should really check it out.

Short post...

I got a fish!
His name is Mr Cornelious Bear.
And he is NOT allowed to be called Sir Crap Bag (which is what my sister insists on calling him). Grr.

He is very cute, and he eats a lot. I don't mind that, cause I think fat fishies are cute.

Pictures will come, I just can't seem to get the memory card to upload pictures... Stupid PC...

Results of the poll are pretty unanimous... Design is liked. And someone *ahem-mowii* likes potatoes. I'm going to be changing a few things on the site, mainly the size of the banner image. Gonna down-size a bit... Also going to try to figure out how to change the pool font colour so that it's easier to read.

New poll up.

You may have (but probably haven't) noticed a new link on the navigation bar... That's right, I have an art site now! After many requests to see art, and getting tired of loading them on to facebook, I've decided to start an Art Blog! Still working on the layout and stuff, but I think it's looking pretty good so far... I'll keep y'all updated on it, cause I know everyone is just dying to see some of my work. :P

One month of school left, including weekends. And then we have exams.

After that, I'm in Grade 12. Scary.

Better start studying, methinks.

Oil Painting #1

So, I just finished my first oil painting (I think).

To clarify, I think I just finished my first oil painting.
It definitely is my first painting using oil paints. I just think I'm finished.

I am trying to be finished.

Trying not to "touch it up" or "adjust" it anymore.

It's very difficult not to pick up a paintbrush and keep going.

Especially since the paint stays wet for approx 48 hours.

It's just sitting on my easel in my room, begging to be altered.

Anyway, I thought I'd post a picture...

Unfortunately, niether picture is too good, so I'll post both picture I took so you can get a pretty good idea of it.
