Kiriban

Turns out I'd hit 10k in the past week and hadn't even noticed! It's really great to know that people are looking at my works, no matter how sucky they may be :D
And speaking of my works, yesterday was my high school art show which included four of my drawings -- 2 color pencil portraits, a charcoal still life, and a pencil still life. There were A LOT of artworks -- everything you can think of from drawings to paintings to ceramic bowls and some amazing vases. There was a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place ribbon for each category, and one artwork was dubbed as 'Best of Show.' And which artwork might that be? To my utter bewilderment and utmost delight, it was my pencil still life! I'm still getting over the shock! I've never won anything before, so this is extremely exciting. I was literally jumping up and down when I saw the huge rosette with three ribbons pinned to my drawing!
So, to celebrate my 10k pageviews and my first ever art award, I'm holding a kiriban. Whoever catches my 18,000th pageview will basically receive a free commisssion. You tell me exactly what you'd like -- it can be as simple or complex as you choose. You can also pick any medium from digital painting, traditional drawing, or manipulation. Here are a couple examples of each:

You can browse through my gallery for more examples :)


Twilight

Now I am going to rant a bit about the Twilight Saga. It's an amazing book series by Stephenie Meyer, and I am completely in love with her writing style. It's so conversational and intriguing -- I didn't even want to put the books down as I was reading them! Right now I am waiting for the release of the 4th book with bated breath (August 2nd! And I already have it pre-ordered!), and I'm definitely hoping there's going to be a fifth. It's a wonderful story that meshes fantasy with reality -- full action, suspense, and romance. Who wouldn't love it? I'd recomend it to anyone who hasn't read it :)

On a completely unrelated note, I recently saw a movie called 'The Blue Lagoon.' It was honestly one of the most moving things I've seen. I think it was made in the 80s, but despite it being a somewhat old film it's still really good. I couldn't get it out of my head for several days -- and I'd say why but then I would give away the ending. The ending is really the most shocking part. Anyway, if you hadn't seen it before I'd recomend it as well. It's kind of a chick-flick though so not everyone might like it -- sort of like a cross between 'Adam and Eve' and 'Romeo and Juliet.' :)

SAT's

Also tomorrow I'm taking my SAT's first thing in the morning, so I should probably be studying right now instead of typing all of this up. But... there's only so much I can cram into my head. I figure I'll just do whatever I can, and hopefully I'll get a decent score. And if not, I can always retake it. It's stilla bit nerve-racking though, but after all, it's just another test.
Wish me luck though, just in case :)


More artworks coming soon!
