    About Me: Hmm, this bit is always difficult. I have blue eyes and long red hair, which is unfortunately dyed red, not naturally, but a lot of people think it's real, so that's kind of nice. I am an illustrator, or at least try to be, and I tend to paint mostly fantasy, gothic or children's illustrations. I love everything to do with gothic things, but my absolute favourite are Harlequins, Fools and Jesters.
    Music: 30 Seconds to Mars, Evanescence, Within Temptation, E Nomine, Nightwish, My Chemical Romance, a lot of alternative music, classical and soundtracks
    Movies: Lord of the Rings, The Usual Suspects, Shawshank Redemption, Medicine Man, Gorillas in the Mist, Underworld, Equilibrium, V for Vendetta, Apocalypto, Spaceballs, The Others, Phantom of the Opera, Romeo+Juliet, Nightmare Before Christmas, Edward Scissorhands... there are many more but I never seem to remember them when I'm writing these.
    TV: House MD and CSI. IT crowd as well but that's just becos I know so many geeks. Don't tend to watch telly that much.
    Books: LOTR, Around the world in 80 days, Picture of Dorian Gray, Neverwhere, Stardust, The Old Man and the Sea, This thing of Darkness, Pride and Prejudice, Hornblower series, Discworld, the only fantasybooks I still can read without getting a massive inspiration... I can't read much of them anymore, I'm more of a writer than a reader nowadays.
    Likes: Forests, Birds, Snow, Fantasy, Gothic things, Winter, Castles, Cathedrals, Harlequins, Jesters, Fools, Masks, Masquerades, Theatres, Old buildings, Ruins,... If I would list everything this would be a very long list.
    Dislikes: Puppets. Well not really dislike. More like am terrified of. Uptight people, and people who pick fights... Narrowminded people, and people who can't be taken seriously, people who think too much of themselves. The word EMO. Took me ages to figure out what it means... Rap music.
    Hobbies: Running, Swimming, Kung Fu, Knife Throwing, Fencing... Well some of those I need to start again. Photography and other art forms, and WRITING
    Vices: Chocolate. I've been trying to be a good girl and change to dark chocolate. So far so good, though I still can't let go of my mars bars... I tend to say things straight that people don't want to hear, but I never mean anything bad.
    Virtues: Eh... I don't know. I'm fairly nice, I think. I've heard people call me nice. I don't know if that's a virtue or not.
    Heroes: Neil Gaiman, Dave McKean, David Mack, Jaques Cousteau, Jane Goodall, Amano, Alan Lee, Death from Discworld

    It's been a long while since I've been here, but here I still am. I have been going through some major changes in my life, including changing my whole life around from where it was going. I had this direction, but I decided to take another route. I'm not sure if it messed up my plan completely, but I feel more like myself now than I have in long time. I'm still sad that I had to move back, because I feel like going backwards. But I'm not sure. Maybe there are no directions at all. Maybe any step we take is a step in the right direction, even though it would feel like going backwards...And I miss my friends and all the experiences I had and the feeling of being somewhere different. Now I'm home, but I don't think I belong here for real. I don't even know if this makes sense. But I definitely think this was a good step. A step. Towards finding myself. Again. How deep is this, lol.

    I don't know. I haven't been able to draw in ages since all this moving around, and my inspiration is riding high so I feel really frustrated on art side. But with any luck I would be able to work again.So maybe this sort of explains my disappearance. I'm trying to be back a bit more but we'll have to see what happens.

    Hugs for everyone.

    About art and stuff...

    Saturday, December 1, 2007, 02:17 PM [General]

    I tend to be very hard on myself about my art. I always feel like nothing I do is good enough, even though a lot of people think it would be really nice. I think it's probably about lack of inspiration, or self esteem, or some personal style... I've got so many styles I work in and like working in, but I sometimes think that it's keeping me from developing further. I like working in different styles, but sometimes I just wish I could do what I want to do, and not just try to get where I want to... But suppose that has something to do with patience as well. I mean, how do you know when you're happy with yourself? Do you ever reach that point when you think 'this is good enough, I am proud of my work and I don't have to worry and practice?' I probably never will. I suppose as an artist you can't stop developing and practicing... I just wish I had more patience to practice. Work on things I want to, and push myself even further, take risks! I'd love to be able to step back from a piece of work and think "wow, that really is amazing!" but I rarely do...

    Sorry, this was just a bit of a rant, I must be going through an artistic block or something. I don't seem to have energy to draw nice images, I've got too many things on my mind... Sadly.

    Ha yes been here... Infact I am still here with my own art! One thing that gets me is when people say,"Why don't you do this? Or paint that?" As far as I am concerned I do what I want and if other people like what I do then that is a bonus! I think as artists we will always strive to be better with what we do, it comes with the terratory unfortunatly!

    Hmm my website is getting a complete do-over. It's going to take a lot of time, I still need to learn more html to make it work properly, and java and stuff, but maybe it will get there eventually... Posted finally a few images too, will post a bit more when I get the chance and find images that I think are good enough. I get so picky sometimes :P

    Heh, this is me, I'm here. I kinda like it, but I need to browse around a bit before I can start feeling at home :D

    Hello Henna, we are so happy that you're mooching about, I'll put the kettle on and then maybe you'll feel more at home... I would suggest that you help yourself to something from the fridge, but I'm a Brit and we're not so relaxed about that sort of thing as we like to sit you down and wait on you, plus, there is never much in ours, as our home is always full of teenage boys and as soon as we've shopped, it all disappears! The tea's good though.
    Cheers,
