Artsy Fartsy

I Love to draw. Mostly with pencil, sometimes I like to color it with color pencils. I am trying to learn how to paint better. I love the options that painting has as opposed to pencil. But my confidence and patience in my painting is pretty limited right now. Something I will work on! I am determined to become a good painter.
Right now, though, I am going to show off some of my favorite drawings. Mind you I don't have a scanner so these are pictures of my...pictures. The flash slightly distorted some of the colors so they look a lot lighter then they really are in parts. I did my best to photoscape them to be more presentable visually. Nothing in these pictures is altered other then the contrast, so they are all me, all by my own hand! 

Enjoy!















I threw one of my paintings in there, that was from senior year in high school, I made the frame and everything. I would eventually like to get a nice scanner and printer and made good quality prints of my art and see what I can do with them! If I could make a little cash off of this hobby of mine, that would be awesome!

I was considering doing a consistent blog about different art projects of mine. Adrienne from Right Here Right Now suggested that I do this type of theme based art posting from Creative Therapy were every week they post a challenge to get your creative gears flowing. So I will think about it and see if I can commit to it. I think it'd be a good challenge for me and get me back into working on art projects more. 
(something I've been slacking on big time)

Hope you enjoyed the art!

Adrienne Tagged Me... And I'm Slow




Thanks Adrienne (Right Here Right Now) for the taggynessness. Man I need to work on more blogging. Topics to write about are difficult to think of. I should just write a random list and do that, like once at week to start. That sounds reasonable to me!


So for this one I will be answering those Questions:::



1) What is the one thing you love treat yourself to ...that you rarely do?
Those tin container's of flavored popcorn you get during Christmas. That's only time I ever get them, but I frikken love 'em.

2) What Book have you read that has just opened your eyes or touched you deeply?
I have a couple that have really stuck with me. First one is Into The Wild. This book really made me realize how much adventure could happen with so little. I'd say it was part of my inspiration to leave my home town and travel across the country. The Teachings of Don Yuan is an absolutely incredible book. It question my inner thoughts of how we live in this world and with the world around us. What do we really know about our earth and how to live in it properly?

3) If you were reincarnated as an animal/drink/ice cream flavor, what would it be?
Animal: Bear. They get to hang around and eat all day and no one messes with them
Drink: Orange Juice. Delicious and good for you!
Ice Cream: Mint with Oreos. Mmmmm.

4) What celebrity do you ever get mistaken for?
Never been mistaken for anyone. But the one comparison I've had most is Maria Carrie. Thats fine with me.

5) Where is Waldo?
In Korea with Adrienne!


So... I have not spent a lot of time looking for other blogs unfortanetly. So I honestly do not have anyone I can tag this for... But that I will work on!
