So I've decided that to get out of my art rut I should try listening to some new music! My library could use an update as well anyways. So I was wondering if anyone had any good bands/artists to suggest? What inspires you (if music inspires you)? Who's you're favorite band right now? Give me your recommendations! I vant to know! :3

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And to co-inside with my most recent poll! Here's a couple of my fav covers that I've been listening to that prompted me to ask. Also from a discussion with a coworker on covers. I like most covers I've heard personally. Save for that horrendous cover of 'Beat It' by Fallout Boy. That thing is a total CRIME.

Anyways.

The Bird and the Bee - ' Don't Stop the Music ' originally done by Rihanna.
[link]

Florence and The Machine - ' Postcards from Italy ' originally done by Beirut.
[link]

Anna Ternheim - ' Shoreline ' originally done by Broder Daniel.
[link]

Moulin Rouge Soundtrack - ' El Tango de Roxanne ' originally done by The Police.
[link]

The Bird and the Bee - ' Carol of the Bells ' (I know it's a Christmas song! But if they played this kind of Christmas music in the malls I swear you'd never want to leave. It's so damn pretty. I listen to this song all year long lol!)

Please share your favorites if you have any as well!

Roll that beautiful bean footage!

Just posting some new features! I've been a bit busy this past week or two I've quite a bit of catching up to do still I'll try to conquer that before next week.

Been trying to art lately but I haven't really been loving anything I've been doing. It's annoying. Maybe I'll post some wip's and get some opinions? Hmmm, I think I might just do that >.>

Also is anyone else having trouble viewing journal posts? All of a sudden mine are all mangled the Journal History part is sitting over half of the journal. Maybe I'll poke by the forums and see if it's on their to-do list. Nevermind. It's apparently an IE thing.

The lovely is offering a sweet deal on her blinking icons! I love them personally I wish I had the money right now to spend on some for myself! Alas I do not, but if you're interested you can read more about them here in her journal [link] And if you're curious as to what they look like check out her gallery were she has a a couple compilation s posted as examples!

Cookies to those who recognize that quote. Great show!

Man! October is the best! Halloween AND Thanksgiving (if you're Canadian that is)! Two food related holidays in one month ~ what more could anyone ask for? :3 So excited for Pumpkin pie and delicious Turkey dinner <3

I just kinda wanted to get my last journal of my main page - but I am excited about the holidays! I know a couple of you wrote what you're being for Halloween in the comments on my most recent poll, but if you haven't and you're dressing up, what are you dressing up as? I wanna know I'm not sure if I'm going to any party/pub thing yet but I have a couple of idea's in mind just in case haha!

Halloween has always been my favourite holiday Probably because my Mom made all my costumes, never once wore a store bought costume! I feel very lucky to have had a Mom who was/is so talented *nostalgia* <3. Here's one of my favourite costumes from when I was little. I'm the older one with the brown hair, my sister's the blonde making all the ridiculous face lol XD Enjoy! Our costumes totally had to fit over the snowsuits LOL we look so chubby XD

"We found a map to Candy Mountain, Charlie!" Ah - we certainly did. Effing Unicorns ~ hells ya!


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And the gift of laughter for Thanksgiving! Enjoy!

Just a few fav Female Stand-up Comedy clips via Youtube. May be some foul language, but nothing too harsh.

"Forever 21 Sales Girl" - [link]
"Nail Salon" - [link]
"Female Flaws" - [link] (The first link on the page titled 'Female Flaws', DA's stupid smiley icon crap-piles won't link to the vid itself)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A couple of features as well! No theme or anything just things I've liked recently (I hope the mature warning works on thumbs too >.> Someone let me know if it doesn't eh!)


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Happy Thanksgiving Weekend!!!!

Edit 2: I've posted 7 more things. I will probably not be posting anything else new to my gallery for a couple of days or so. I may post some things to my scraps however for those interested. I've been going through my inbox of Deviations and I am trying to comment on most of the works I fav now. Please check out my fav's if you get the chance - there is so much talent on DA! I don't know why I ever took a break from it in the first place >.<! I'm so inspired again! Thank you so much to all of you who've faved my new posts and left comments I'm trying to keep on top of them and thank as many of you properly as I can! <333

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Edit: I've posted 5 or 6 things tonight. I'm going to sleep for now but I'll post some more tomorrow. Also I'll likely be cleaning up my gallery (including scraps). So save anything you want to see later now, because it might not be there next week.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hey guys >.>

So yea, it’s been more than a year since I last updated this place. Shame on me. But anyways I want to thank those of you who’ve added me to your watch list over the past year and a half, and all the fav’s and comments too. I read them all but didn’t respond to any since some are so very old (my fault) and there wasn’t much to say save thank you’s which seem silly a year later. But I do appreciate them, absolutely!

I really, really, really want to keep this page updated frequently (at least on some decent level). Though I haven't been arting much in the past couple months. I have some works from my extended time away from the internet and I’ll be posting a lot of that over the course of the week hopefully. Apologies for the dump in advance haha.

Holy crap do I need to catch up on like EVERYTHING. I declare August the month “to get shit done“! So much to do right now…I’ll do my best to catch up on here (and lj *shame*) and well everywhere really. Also must find a second job again and or a full time job that pays more than freaking minimum wage like woah. *sigh* And continue on my personal goals for this year!

Did Otakon in August. Unfortunately it was a financial disaster for me, and I didn't even cover half of my costs to attend. Oh well. Regardless of the many jumbles, the convention had upsides. Going with friends was the best, and great food! And now I have like butt-loads of extra prints, I may sell them super cheap from here if people are interested. I'm also considering letting go of some of my original sketches. I'll probably post something later about that.

ANYWAYS. You should check these guys out! They’re amazing artists and the lovely people I got to share a room with (yes all of them haha!) and food and everything else after con/alley hours ~ Thanks guys for making it all worthwhile! <3
and


Other things you should know!

Please take a moment to check out she has opened up commissions to help pay off some financial troubles! Please take a look at her gorgeous art and check out her commission prices, which are EXTREMELY affordable and help her out if you can spare a bit! Thank you so much!

I want to get me one of them fancy CSS journals D: Must research this >.>

EDIT Feb 21st: Check our 's journal she's selling some perfumes and other items and seeing as she knows her fragrances ~ they probably smell delicious! She's also offering naughty pics (females only), icon and colouring commissions to earn some extra money to help out her little dachshund Logan! You can check it out here [link] if that interests ya ;D Might I say the icons are a fantastic deal ~ she makes wicked icons!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Heyhey peeps!

Just want to say more arts on the way ~ real soon yo! ;D So ya, other crap happened and good times/bad times it's all good :} Still plan on opening up for commissions again soon in roughly 2 weeks time. But enough babbling, on to what this journal is really all about ~ music!

I wanted to share a few of my current favorites from some of my favorite artists! Perhaps one or some of you will find something you like? I also think my library could use a few fresh voices, I'm hoping some of you might share some of your fav's with me also

It was hard choosing just a few and which songs by which artists I wanted to share lol ~ if I get decent feedback on this I might consider doing it a second time or just post one or two in my next few journals ;} Youtube links because I can't think of anyother way for you all to have a test run so-to-say of the entire song. Most of these are the videos, and some are...kind of weird *lol* nothing NSFW but they might be a little strange >:} But it's the music you should really be listening too! Warning except for the first two songs, most of this is UBER GIRLY sounding!

1. Hot Chip ~ Over and Over
[link]

2. The Avalanches ~ Frontier Psychiatrist (video and song are wacky, just to let you know. These guys are kings of the mashup :3)
[link]

3. Inara George ~ Turn On/Off (She's one half of 'The Bird and the Bee' if you've heard of them they're also rad tunes)
[link]

4. Anna Ternheim ~ I'll Follow You Tonight
[link]

5. Psapp ~ Hi (Man I so love these guys<333)
[link]

6. Margot and the Nuclear So & So's ~ Quiet as a Mouse (This band is amazing I cannot believe they are not signed )
[link]

7. Maria Peszek ~ Moje Miasto (Not in english, I had more foreign music I would have loved to post here but couldn't find it on Youtube = Lame.)
[link]

8. Kate Havnevik ~ Unlike Me
[link]

9. Thievery Corporation feat. Emiliana Torrini ~ Until the Morning (Thievery Corp. is totally my Photoshop music :3)
[link]

10. Emiliana Torrini ~ Heartstopper (same as number 9, I adore this song it's so pretty and girly haha)
[link]

What do you guys think? Maybe I should have chosen less XD But it was too hard this is the best I could do LOL! Hope you all have a good one <333

(P.S. I do love more than just girly music and electronica lol, this is just what I've been into the most lately. So don't worry about suggesting other music Except Bluegrass. And rap. I hate those kinds of music XP)
