Winter

I have updated my blog design. made it more "wintery" (if i may say so).
i only started decorating for Christmas today. anybody else is ready?

Color: Purple

A friend of mine gave me a task to find some purple things around me and write about them. Here they are:



(In the magazines they usually add numbers to the corresponding photos, but I hope that my collage here would be easy to follow).

1. Klimt coffee book. My inspiration and my good mood. Somehow I am always in a good mood after I flip its pages. We don't have a coffee table really, so I keep it among other books in my art room (I don't call it my office any more), or sometimes on the floor of my art room. My desk is usually too full.

2. Oil paint. I don't care that there are only 12 of them, at this time 12 is enough for me. Check out my another attempt here (not original no... copy of course)

3. A book about pastel and how to paint with pastel.

4. A broach. Remember this IF illo? I used it there.

5. A gift from my Italian friend. She brought it for my wedding. It is a special Italian thing, made of candy. Very pretty.

6. A book about marketing by Seth Godin, "Purple Cow". Awesome book! The idea is explained at the beginning. Seth tells, how he was traveling by car with his family around Southern France, and how they were admiring picturesque views with fields and cows. But after a while they got sick and tired of those cows, as they all looked the same. So he had this idea, if at least one cow was for instance purple, he would definitely notice it. The rest of the book lists examples of how to promote small and average size businesses without spending a fortune on advertising.

7. A coffee set from Roberto's grandmother.

That's it! No more purple things in my house. None at all!

If you are interested in playing let me know. I will give you a color to find!

So another blog I have set up

Check out Candy:



(Yeah, yeah, I know. I just can't stay away from my little faeries :) )

One more update

I also have met several awesome writers. And I even got a few of them to start blogging.

Please, meet:

Angelique La Mone

and

Amelie Court

Not drawing anything recently

You think i'm lazy? 'cause I'm not drawing anything recently?

Well.. you are right yes. Although I'm not drawing anything because... my creativity is trapped in one of these boxes we have all over our house....



I guess not only my creativity got trapped in a box :)

OMG!!! I got an award!!!

Bella-who-is-the-best-blogger-ever passed on this amazing award to me among 10 other great bloggers!



Well, first of all I immediately went and added Peter Breese to the blogs I follow, as well as a bunch of other artists who I don't want to lose.

Now, my challenge is that I don't have enough blogger friends who I can share my fortune with :(

But I will try. I really love looking at the following blogs and get inspired by:

Jim Rowland
Adrienne Trafford
Pascal Campion
Pierre De Lune
and Why
(and i know I added Ces but she disappeared. I will add her again :0)

Ces

I will let them know in the comments and hope they accept this award. Their blogs really inspire me!

Please visit their blogs and take in the wonderment!

To the recipients: please select six new inspirational folks, give them a shiny new Breese Award –clean off any Champaign or similar celebratory stains – and keep the awesomeness moving along!

Thank You Bella

I wanted to make a little "Thank You" card for Bella who's been nice and kind and supportive and consistent with her positive and cheerful attitude. She makes my day run faster :) (this is a good thing as I work in techsupport :)) )

Thank you Bella!

Blog design

I have started editing my blog design, but gotta run... don't think please that this is how it is going to stay...

off to the gym

Back to me

alrighty... it seems that "communities" are called groups, but I haven't found any that I like. I still have not figured out how to do that.

Seems to me I will be hanging out here by myself. Oh well, this is life.

How to use this blogger blog?

Hey, I wonder, are there like "communities" here, where people hang out, chat and chill?

Hello again

I keep trying to write something in this blog, but never get around to it... Now that LJ is on maintenance, I think I can actually start this blog, let it grow.

Happy Holidays, everyone!

I am a very self-centered and preoccupied with uncertainties person. I am not 100% sure in anything I do and therefore I require constant feedback, pat on the back, approval and other little indications of attention. I will respond with the same. I reserve the right not to, though

Anyways, I have always preferred LJ for blogging because there are communities there. Are there communities in Blogger? I will have to find out.

I am going to post a few of my recent-recent Illustrations here, but this is not really a portfolio. I don't have a portfolio yet. I am looking to make one, but have not decided on the layout and design yet. Plus i don't have many things to show. Yet

cheers! And here is something to dance to... just for fun
