I don't know if I am an artist. What is the line between artist, and not artist? Is there even a line? I think if you enjoy being creative and making art (even if it is lousy) you are an artist. Voila, mon définition d'artiste. C'est bizarre, maintenant je pense en anglais et français, mais je me trouve ni français, ni anglais. So as I am typing whatever comes to my mind this post may be a mixture of languages; probably just english and french. I just received a big box of art supplies that my lovely mother sent from home! I was soooo excited! In the box were all of my old drafting supplies (which I'm not sure I'll need right now, but always nice to have!), a big tin of art pencils, aquarells, my jewelry supplies, fabric, oil pastels (chalk pastels make me cringe!!!!), and pencil crayons (2 tins)! As well as some non artsy things; 2 sticks of burt's bees lip chap (but with a bit of colour - I love it!), a pretty scarf, a scientific calculater (?? not sure if my mom actually meant to send that one....), earrings, and chewing gum! Youpiiiii!
That is what I have in my sketch book so far.... feed back please!! I know I need to add so much more still to my portfolio....not just sketches, but real projects! Suggestions are welcome! Give me assignments to help motivate me.
I soon have to apply to art schools here, so the pressure is really on! I'm also getting excited to enter back into the art world and leaving this boring wannabe art world of art history (no offence....). I actually really do love art history, but definitely as a hobby / interest....not a career, nit 5 years of studies.
Music I am listening to at the moment: Beach House, The XX, Neon Indian, and the new album of Vampire weekend.
Love you, bye

i love your art!
I am absolutely in love with the one of the three girls. i would take a print of that and hang it in my house, please cas you are a beautiful artist. you are so full of talent, so full that sometimes you don't know where to put it all. your talent is so big it can not fit under one title "interior designer' 'illustrator' 'jewelery maker' but don't let this discourage you from thinking you are not an artist, your only flaw, if you can even call it a flaw, is that you have SO MUCH talent you can't decide what to do with all of it.
embrace that.
love you so unbelievably much. i'm glad i found this place again.
