Again... See how many dA pictures here. It's very obvious. They've just taken a look at the most popular deviations here.

Sorry I haven't been able to submit anything lately... I've been busy working on some stuff and looking for a job.
I finally got my very own studio light set and I believ I'll be doing some nice photoshoots as soon as I get my inspiration back after all this hustle

But now I'm gladly taking these requests because I have a print account.

Been really busy with my exhibition pics, but I'll keep updating!

]]> ~Mizerable7 http://Mizerable7.deviantart.com/journal/17127560/ http://Mizerable7.deviantart.com/journal/17127560/ Sat, 01 Mar 2008 03:40:53 PST I'm going to move next weekend, and I have to take care about a lot of formalities and most of all, get my stuff packed and ready. I'm going to live together with my partner and turn 18 this March. Very important and big moves in my life.

I'm not sure how soon I'll be back with new activity and deviations. It may take some time but I might also be back surprisingly soon. Basically I'm quite out of ideas right now when it comes to photography. I need new places. And I've been trying to find new models. Right now I'd love to photograph some exotic looking people, but if I get inspiration, almost anything goes.

But any time, willingful models, read this:

Anyway take care everyone!

With the help of a classmate I managed to get myself a subscription again, so I'm happy! I haven't been able to check my devwatch for ages because... Well, there's over 3,000 deviations and there'll be more all the time. Without the subscription, checking out all the 3,000 deviations will be like..

click it, wait it, see it, close it, delete it
OR click it, wait it, see it, fave it, wait it, close it, delete it
OR click it, wait it, see a mature content ban image, get annoyed, close it

Okay, what's with the mature content thing anyway? If I remember right I've been a member of dA since 15 or something like that, and that's a mighty long time. And now that I'm just about to turn 18, dA changes its stupid rules, and I become unable to view any mature content. Why's that, if I could view all of that stuff when I was 15, and I surely did? This just slows down the cleaning operation of my devwatch, because I just have one month to go anymore, but still. Just a wild guess, but did some stupid american get offended and complain about this system or something? Some boobs-are-from-satan-but-it's-okay-to-chop-your-neighbor's-head-off-with-an-axe -american?
And hey, I understand why porn is forbidden from kids, but this is not a porn site, this is an art site, right? So why exactly does art have to be forbidden from some people?
It's funny, I have one picture of shoes in my gallery, and I can't see it myself now because dA has classified it as mature content because it's in the fetish category.
...Like people under 18 had never seen shoes before.

Okay enough with that. It's become very springlike here. It's early, but true. From this place, I can see a blue sky without any clouds. Treetops swaying in the wind, sun shining to their white trunks. It's been so gray for months that I love to see the world like this. I won't go out though, for that wind is really cold. But it lifts up my mood to see that from the window as I work. I hope that the cooperation of hard wind and bright sunshine result to the snow getting blown and melted away. I don't like unwanted darkness, or extreme temperatures, let it be hot or cold.

I'm experiencing a slight art burnout. I've photographed too much without my own will (school..) so I have been forced to photograph when I don't have any good ideas. I'll be taking a break, won't go to school next week at all. It's fine because they're doing something that doesn't concern me anyway. But I need this. I'll concentrate on my music if I just can. I need to get a new kick out of it.
I also feel quite anxious because of waiting for so many things at the same time. I'm looking forward to get a new apartment, a mixer, money... To get a camera sold, to buy electric drums... to see the summer come... All kinds of stuff. And there's nothing I could do about these things to happen sooner.

Anyone who's interested, join my site @ [link]

And.. well. I wonder if I have anything else to say. I guess that's all. Basically I feel fine but I'm a bit out of inspiration. Hope to get back to business soon!
Take care, everyone!

was the one to catch the 10,000th hit, and she has made me to choose from the following three requests in the form of a photo:

- "Details that only nature can offered to us"
- "My loved tree in the twilight" (or in the light, it's as you prefer)
- A photo where the two dominant colours are black and red...

I've told her to complete this request before next year, so keep an eye on me

a) DIGITAL DRAWING: With the title "The strangest winter night".
b) PHOTOGRAPH: It must have a dominating green color and two people hugging.
c) TRAD. DRAWING: Something that features a kitten and outdoors.

I want three suggestions, so I have a chance to choose. Inspiration doesn't come by a command. The suggestions must be something that I really can do, I mean, don't even try to ask "something with 5,000 men dressed as rabbits" or "something that features a peruvian zoo tiger."

Good luck, hunt that number!

Btw, I just got engaged with my beloved one and I feel happy.
Reeeally busy with photography work but, I'll update every now and then.
Here's our rings:

Well, sorry about the silence, but I'm back now. I've started my studies at the photography school and settled to my new home. I think I really like it here and I'm enjoying my freedom. At school, we really started out with the basics to make sure that everyone knows the techniques, but we'll get to the artistic stuff little by little, and maybe I'll get to upload some schoolwork here. The recent model shots of Ziggety had nothing to do with school.
Okay, I'm on a Photoshop lesson right now (got nothing to do) so I guess that's it, I just wanted to thank you for the views

Hope you all are having a nice autumn!

So, I'm here, photographing and living, but won't be updating for a while. Don't worry, I'll be back.

Rainy days, looking for an apartment to move to when I start my studies. Excited about it and seems like I'll get one.

And random faves, may I.

And I've heard that this school is somewhat famous of its good quality.
I'm going to move out of this town where I've lived as long as I have been able to remember. Going to be just 25km away from my lover, which will be a really good thing for us.
I'll be able to use the school's resources whenever I like, such as cameras, equipment, studio and darkroom. And of course - submit my coolest work here.
I've never made traditional film photography so there will be new stuff for me too. I've just been a simple digital photographer so far, I have a lot of new stuff to learn.
The studies will begin in the end of 8th month.


Practically... I'm really happy now.

Oh and if anyone wants to toast for me now, please buy me a subscription; I have 9 days left of this one year subscription now, ending on Jul 11th.
This is, of course, half joking, but just like anyone else, I'd love it ]]> ~Mizerable7 http://Mizerable7.deviantart.com/journal/13427178/ http://Mizerable7.deviantart.com/journal/13427178/ Thu, 21 Jun 2007 02:10:23 PDT

Meeting friends, editing photographs and walking a dog while my lover is at work. We took a glimpse at engagement rings. Will take a ship to Sweden soon and so on. A lot of fun summer love.

Yesterday I met a new model. She was a gorgeous fair lip queen with high heels and leopard print. Meow!
I photographed a memory cardful of her in various places around Tampere. I felt that I had improved a lot somehow. I paid more attention on outdoor lights than before. But of course it also was the sum of great weather and a skillful model. The photos just turned out very good, I think. I changed her make-up and hair once and she changed clothes. We'll talk about the rights of the images later but I guess that you'll get to see her soon.

I've sent the needed papers and a portfolio CD to a photography school where I'm trying to get to study. They have invited me to an interview, so let's wish for the best on 27th of this month. I'm underage for what they wish the students to be, but they said that they've made exceptions. So that's all up to my talents and stuff now. I really wish to get there.

The month started really hot, but now it's cooler and somewhat rainy. Chilly is just fine after that period when I preferred to hang around naked but I don't really like *cold* either. Like, too cold. It's summer anyway.

Haha, my lover's dog is sleeping on a bed on his back like a baby. Poor thing, Toki is just so adorable little thing.
Well, guess that's about it this time. And again my usual things follow:

Having a couple of models this week, will get to test my new backdrop. I took a picture of it today just to show it off;
[link]
This is not a photoshoot, I took only this one picture and the reason that this casual ugly me is in the middle is so that you could understand the size of the backdrop.

]]> ~Mizerable7 http://Mizerable7.deviantart.com/journal/12960311/ http://Mizerable7.deviantart.com/journal/12960311/ Mon, 14 May 2007 23:55:21 PDT However I have some problems with the lighting kit; I hadn't thought that they have different kind of plugs in America. I've made a phonecall to an electricity store and I'll need converters and stuff so I can make the plug fit and convert electricity so that the bulb doesn't explode. That's gonna cost me some extra money so I won't be able to buy and get to use the lighting kit just yet.

I had one model on sunday, and have scheduled photoshoots with 3 more this weekend. I'll probably get to test the backdrop with one of them. Phew, I'll be really busy this week and also after that, checking out all those photos taken.

I had my job interview last week, it went better than I thought. I have a feeling that I might even get that job.

Informative model entry is here [link]

And ten random favourites are



Well, take care everyone. I'll keep going + waiting for the summer.

I've bought more very essential photography equipment, my studio is growing. Bought a scenic muslin backdrop and lighting set with white umbrellas. It sounds expensive, but in fact it wasn't, I saved hundreds of euros by choosing this auction thing rather than buying from actual shops.
So now my studio will have better lights and one new background. I consider these very important. Some time ago I went to a local textile shop to see if there would be any backdrop-ish textiles available but it was a disappointment; No heavy and simple enough ones there, so I had to get these proper ones from overseas.
...The shipping will take a lot of time though.

I have the job interview in one week, just wish me luck.

Sure you remember one of my male models, Iyazur? The dark beauty. Well, he's got his own growing account now at

Models info journal can be found here [link]

And, random favourite picks as I remember!
(Sorry, the majority tends to be photography; I just happen to fave a lot of photography!)



]]> ~Mizerable7 http://Mizerable7.deviantart.com/journal/12716035/ http://Mizerable7.deviantart.com/journal/12716035/ Tue, 24 Apr 2007 10:23:21 PDT Knowing the system before contacting helps a lot and this hopefully answers some questions. If not, please let me know about the concern!

I do not require earlier experience, but it helps a lot if the model is well cooperative.
Usually a photoshoot is advantage for both. The model will get photography to use and, photographing is excellent training for me. I learn all the time and love to work with different people as individuals, trying to see who they are. No money, since it's is so informal.
My idea is to make the model see how good they can actually look, and show their best sides.

WHAT'S IT LIKE?
When the model is ready to get photographed, I adjust the camera to fit the light and color circumstances and take a couple of test images to get the right settings. When we're ready, we start the photoshoot. A new model is always a bit nervous first, but it gets fun little by little. We usually talk freely so that the moment is not so tense it could be, and the model becomes quite relaxed. I often suggest the model to move, do things and change positions freely, and whenever I get inspired by something I will often ask for more and assist the model to the wanted position. Being a model can be taken a lot like acting, feeling like you are somebody and you are in a scene.
If the photoshoot is very long, breaks are of course natural. The duration depends a lot of the set. Do we travel far? Is the styling so extraordinary that it takes a long time to get the model look like that? How many good photographs do we want to get? How many times do we change the style and place if we do?

OUTDOOR/INDOOR
If photographing in some certain existing place, it should be decided before the photoshoot. If it's not known whether photographing is allowed in the decided place, it should be asked by a phonecall or such, early enough.
Basic indoor photography usually features interesting places where we use our imagination the best we can. Outdoors is quite much the same, nature or urban.
I can not carry my own lights to most of the places because I don't own a car, so it should be made sure that the lighting (especially in indoor places) is good enough for photography. Also, if outdoors, it should be made sure that the weather is ideal, we can't tell the sun do this and that. These types of photography make head-to-toe shots very possible, while the little studio has its limits.

STUDIO
It's also possible to take photographs using my homemade studio. Homemade is always homemade, but you could check out some studio portraits in my gallery to judge the results yourself.
So far my small home studio is equipped with backdrop, lights and any additional furniture/things.
Studio photography is always quite formal but the good thing is that you can do what you want with the lights.
A normal studio photoshoot is, I put up the studio, the model gets styled, then we shoot, probably changing the lights and style a few times during it.

STYLING
I've usually always taken care of the styling, but if the model is comfortable with their styling skills / has good ideas / has some specific style in mind, they are free to take care of it.
All styling should be planned quite well before the actual photoshoot. It's not a good idea that you plan to go to an all black room and appear there in all black clothes! We have to plan things like this beforehand, so bad color mistakes won't happen.
I probably can't sew your clothes, but I can do a variety of individual make-up and hairstyles to fit the whole shoot.

WHAT TYPE OF PHOTOGRAPHY?
...You probably got the image that I'll make you a star? That was a bit misleading. Glamour and fashion photography is just one type of photography, even though I like those a lot. To mention some, I also like casual photography. And photography where the person is not the main thing but also the scenery plays a big role. Spontaneous or commercial like photography. Anything you can think of. So no, you're not expected to be Miss Universum or Barbie.
See the next article to the topic that is quite a big issue for some: Nudity.

NUDE AND SEMINUDE PHOTOGRAPHY
I do shoot artistic nude photography too. Many people tend to mix nude photography with pornography, although they are not the same thing. I think, the only common thing is the nudity, but the biggest difference is, how the nudity is expressed. The idea of artistic nude photography is to take representative and beautiful photography, showing things like somebody's personality, vulnerability, beauty and so on. Human figure is often very beautiful.
All wishes of the mod... ]]> ~Mizerable7 http://Mizerable7.deviantart.com/journal/12688959/ http://Mizerable7.deviantart.com/journal/12688959/ Sun, 22 Apr 2007 08:45:46 PDT -moving away from parents
-getting an apartment and space of my own
-being in a town that I like more than this
-being close to my lover and few friends I have left
-getting my own money, the wages shouldn't be the whole rent

Cleaning is not my biggest passion as you can guess but think about it, even though it might be hard it's worth it all. You can't escape school when you get home but you can forget about the job when you get home when it's only cleaning.
I dislike this town, don't love my parents too much, don't have any friends here and we always have to travel 1,5hours to meet with my lover. And I'm currently getting so little amount of money that I can never save it for bigger things.
So, if I get the job I'll be really happy to serve and, apply to photography schools when the time comes. I want the real thing, no highschool shit.
I'm also trying to get a job in my town just in case... It's the last resort. But I want to get away, there's absolutely nothing for me in here.

Now
My condition's happarently gone too bad so I'm apparently getting some kind of medication next week.
But good enough so I've moved my iMac on my piano again and made a draft of a new song, even done some recordings... Guess I made some kind of new discovery about what might sound good. But damn I want an electric guitar. Jamm like James Brown. He was the man... Root of Michael Jackson and Prince, the other big men. They inspire and have so great influence on me, even in this, what world is today.
I guess I can't talk too much yet because it's just talk so far but a gorgeous model I haven't photographed before has asked for cooperation and we're planning to do some kind of contract and have a good photoshoot, photography for many possible means and portfolios for the advantage of both. She's moving out of the country very soon after the planned photoshoot date and expects good photos. So we absolutely should plan this well to get satisfying results.

Well that's all I guess. Bad but hopeful spirits. Just wish me hell of a lot of luck.

It's a sunny day. No foliage in the trees just yet, but any day. I'm off to the gym tonight. Must be one empty gym, sunday evening!

Again. It just goes too far, making me a passive depressed idiot. The original idea of school educating people into working citizens has been forgotten a long time ago. Yeah right..
Well, everything will affect my art again of course. I'll get back to business if I get over the guilty feeling. Y'know, my parents really hate me now, and who can be creative under any kind of pressure. They say everything I do is useless and only school matters.

I know.
Paper is God.
I know.

So until then.

The pageview count and all success has just increased a lot lately. Many people have discovered my art.
I thank everyone who gave some time to look at my gallery, but the special thank-yous go for all the favers, watchers and commentors. Being bothered to show your appreciation by a simple gesture like that makes me feel that I've achieved something.

Thank you, the pageview count wouldn't have been achieved without, uh, pageviewers

It's a bit like a birthday gift to me, it's my birthday on 22nd day.
I'm not celebrating it due to personal reasons and experiences.

Well. Shortly - The weather is still awful; School has forced me to leave all my hobbies, not only the hobbies I do alone but also those I take lessons for. Completely. This was my own decision alone that I can't carry on doing the things I've ever loved. I just realized that I have no other choice but leave my life for the system.
...If I was a politician now, I'd blow up the whole damn system. I really would. For ruining mental health and lives.
I used to be able to teach myself a lot of things when nobody kept a gun on my temple.. I was interested in everything and I was healthy. But now I haven't created or learned anything for ages. Just got worse as I reached the point that I quit all my hobbies.
It's twisted and so wrong to ruin lives in the name of education.

That's how I'm doing, that's why I am not submitting any good work. But thank you for the interest and appreciation, wish you all nice inspirational moments. Don't let the system kick your face like it kicks mine.

I've made a little bit of music, but so far nothing major. Very good drafts to start out with but nothing whole. Something I'd want to finish one day.

This week I found an old hobby of mine, again. I used to be a dancer but stopped basically because of the lack of time some years ago. Well now I ran across some dance videos in the internet and I'm all about funk dancing again. Locking + liquiding. I already managed to get every muscle and joint sore for dancing all day all of a sudden. Locking, being based on fast hand movements could be a good add-on to my exercise; I really hate weightlifting but I force myself to do it anyway. I still find myself skipping that routine way too often. So it would be very good if I can keep on dancing now. And what comes to liquiding; That takes care of the rest of the body quite well.

That's about my activities and creations lately, I guess..
My birthday's in this month and I'm waiting for the summer so much.

<... ]]> ~Mizerable7 http://Mizerable7.deviantart.com/journal/11902910/ http://Mizerable7.deviantart.com/journal/11902910/ Wed, 21 Feb 2007 01:04:08 PST Right now I'm stuck with my piano homework. I got the same homework again.
I'm well aware that because it's dark, I should bathe in the sunlight as much as possible. It's a sunny, lovely, cold morning outside! But unfortunately I'm oversensitive to light so I must keep my curtains closed especially now that the sun is out. So I most likely fail to get the light energy there is naturally available on some lucky days.

When someone suggests me to draw something, I've caught myself answering, "I can't draw anymore." I also took back my plan to get a guitar so I could play the guitar parts in my music. Concerning this case, I caught myself saying, "what's the use anyway?"
I guess I would be photographing if it was summer. I feel so guilty, now that I finally have the longed-for camera, I haven't really used it much at all. Not for proper photography. Two days ago I shot crescent moon near Venus but that's all. I took it as a snapshot because my optics aren't meant for astrophotography.

It seems like we'd have to wait until the summer or something. Feels that I can't finish any art, music or studies until I'm freed from the winter and the school. It's ridiculous that I might be attending two or three courses at once, even from home, and still be dead tired. It doesn't make a difference.
I'm sorry folks, gotta hold back and recover.

http://Mizerable7.deviantart.com/journal/11735230/ Thu, 08 Feb 2007 13:20:09 PST That limit was reached yesterday and now it's 5,080...
What do you watchers want to see more? What themes? Or is there any new suggestions?

I'm sorry that I haven't been able to submit anything overwhelming yet. Look, it's -20c outside, one night it went down to -35, really cold times... No chances to go out and photograph, that cold ruins both, the camera battery and my poor face. I canceled my piano lesson on the cold day because I simply don't own warm enough clothes to go anywhere, haha. And, even if it got a bit warmer, I probably couldn't make up any more ideas about winter. I'm so done with this, I've been waiting for the summer for a long time already, I've seen this season already and there's nothing new. Summer is so much more interesting when you have at least colors... But in the winter everything is just white. White white white white grey white white white blue white white white. Fed up with the whiteness.

I'm missing the summer so much: Even if I spent last summer all alone, I was able to make it nostalgic. I went to places I had never been before and enjoyed. All day until my legs went numb. Funny, I used to think that nostalgia has only something to do with experiences with other people.

Well. I already got two filters for the new SLR camera and I'm waiting for the infrared filter to arrive. Later I'm gonna want at least diffusion and gradient filters.
I'm getting familiar with the camera gradually. I love the image quality and I somehow get along with the system already. Still, I have a lot to learn but at least I can take pictures in manual mode...

Don't hesitate to give me critique when you think I need it, and don't hesitate to let me know about the good points either. The comments that lead me to better work are the most precious. And of course, I really appreciate your faves.

And here's 10 random images from my favourites, I'm a killer faver..:
http://Mizerable7.deviantart.com/journal/11619728/ Tue, 30 Jan 2007 05:53:37 PST
I got a nice cheaper offer for this camera in the newspaper (Yes, the camera is new.)
The shop was in an another town so I had to call there so they'd leave one of those cameras for me, I'd send a friend to get it for me because I couldn't come. Traveling there this weekend myself, so I'll get my paws on my new camera. Maybe we'll play around with it during the weekend already, but I'll start doing actual work later.
Firstly because I can't use those big cameras yet and so on. I don't want to submit quick snapshots, I gotta get to know that little friend first!

People, give me some time, here I come.

I have a few models waiting, and I still have a lot of ideas. Haven't thought of much more ideas though; I don't want to tease myself by thinking of photographing when I don't have a camera.

For a long painful time I haven't had inspiration for any of the things that I do. Makes me feel suffocated, such lack of air that I breathe.
Luckily yesterday I got started with a new song though; It's very catchy, just the type that I like to listen myself. It's also a genre/style that I haven't made before. I don't know why though, I love this kind of elements.
Only my voice is the problem again, I hate it but I couldn't get a low voiced singer because it has to be me. Surgical operations on vocal cords, still haven't been invented? Jeez, take me far to the future in time.

Lately I've been literally angry about my money situation. I'm trying to find a job but those motherfuckers don't bother to give me one no matter what I try. I have a long list of stuff that I necessarily want, things like a guitar+amp, camera equipment, a condenser mic, a punching bag, an external sound card, a chin implant and so on.
The want for these things has became a craving need, and it's funny, even more important than my want to make a trip to Japan.

It's finally snow here but I'm waiting for the summer, still. I don't find any use in seasons when I don't have that camera, staying indoors until I get it.

Oh and the demo CD has been sent to Japan this week. It was not easy to write the reply to them as expected, phew. So now I'll just forget about the whole thing. I like to get a happy surprise instead of wait for something that isn't up to me and be very disappointed. If I forget about it now and they don't choose my music, I won't be disappointed because I don't remember.

That gives me hope and will to keep doing what I do. So, what? I have one day off tomorrow, which means, I won't be studying for the test at school, but I'll be composing and recording! I will *have to* try to make one extra song for them immediately, so I could send total three songs. Then they would be all different if I'd continue from the unfinished piano song I have... Let's see. Just wish me luck.

I've been searching for a job; If I get it, I can buy a camera sooner than in May. If not, I'll be very disappointed and get it in May. And not get the chance to update my music hardware. You know, I want a guitar so I could play my guitar parts myself. I don't have the money to employ myself a slave, I'm rather one for myself.

It's an eternal autumn. No snow, only rain. I keep the curtains closed and don't go out until it's summer again. Too disgusted, it feels like it had been night for 5 months or so. And it reflects to my mind too; I've lost a lot of inspiration lately.

I really lost all my inspiration with everything as I got disappointed with this camera. I'll be looking for a new camera later, I guess I don't have enough energy right now because I also lost my hope, all cameras just seem plain bad right now and I don't want to make an another mistake again.
Yes I hate losing, I can't stand it. And I don't have the money to get those damn expensive Canon things.

But one thing, people have been wishing to get prints of my work. I'm not 18 yet so I can't get a prints account on DA so I launched a website for that business. Please check it out especially if you're one of those wishing to get your paws at my concrete prints.

Right! I just bought a new camera, a new tripod, 1Gb memory card and a bag for the camera. Finally.
I'm getting my paws on them during next week, I made an online order.
I am upgrading from a compact digital camera to a bridge camera.
Let's make some comparing.

OLD - NEW
4,0 megapixels - 7,1 megapixels
4x optical zoom - 10x optical zoom
14x total zoom - 50x total zoom
400 ISO - 1600 ISO with best quality, 4000 maximum
2272 x 1704 max img size - 3072 x 2304 max img size
1,8 inch screen - 2,5 inch screen

So, a quite nice upgrade, I guess? Price difference was under 100€. New.

I have lots of ideas and four willingful models in sight. Every idea doesn't require a model though, but anyway. Hopefully we'll get some samples asap. Naturally it takes some time to get used to the new camera and try out all the new settings and how things are.
Also, a trip to Stockholm is in sight, hopefully I get some nice urban photography too.

So you can start expecting new work quite soon!

First I have to tell you the bad news - My camera is broken. Yes I won't be photographing new material for some time. I don't have money for a new one right now so I don't know how long. That's very annoying, because I still had lots of photography ideas. Just gotta keep them in my head and when I get the new camera, do them.

It's been an extremely lonely weekend, but I've accomplished quite a lot. I started working on my song called Crossbreed yesterday and worked with the sound textures well past midnight. Today I recorded in the last vocals and guitars and finished it. This is finally my first full length song that I've finished so far. Also my recording mic broke within one year, so when I get a new mic I'll absolutely have to re-record all the vocals in but... It's bearable now. When I do that update, I'll probably also redo the drums. Otherwise it's great. I have only drunk water while working (two days), I guess I should even try to cook .. Eww.
The band doesn't seem very interested though. We haven't even met for weeks. It seems more and more like I get more done by myself - and doing this one song took months!

Well, what else. I'm dying with the stress school brings, I simply have too much to do and it does NOT help my creative flow.
Again I haven't met anyone else but my lover for months. E-mailing with Japanese friends keeps me busy at times though.
Winter. Soon it's Christmas, and it comes with a lot of stress about gifts. Ah, duties and responsibilities...
Guess I'm off to compose a new song.

]]> ~Mizerable7 http://Mizerable7.deviantart.com/journal/10267266/ http://Mizerable7.deviantart.com/journal/10267266/ Tue, 03 Oct 2006 03:47:31 PDT I was thinking of writing a journal entry again since it's already been over a month since my last one.

Again thank you so much for the attention I've been getting lately; You've been faving my work, giving inspirational comments, visiting my page, even featuring me... I'm so grateful for all that support.

When it comes to art, yes, I haven't been able to submit much lately; I'm very sorry about that. I guess it's the busy stuff at school that make me too weakminded to get something done.
I mean, I have deadlines for all the schoolwork and so many things I *should* be doing, and so I'm kinda beaten down by the stress. Don't wanna do any creative work in the middle of hurry, it's not nice.
This week the first three courses at school are ending with big tests, so next week I'll be able to hold on a little bit and hopefully get some creative work done again, let it be something visual art or my music projects.
I've really been hoping to have enough time for the inspiration flow and let me squeeze out all the juices. I have very clear sketches about what my music should be and what my world is like; I'm just never given the peace and time I need. That's why it seems like I was never getting anything done but well. Some time ago I actually did do my first internet release by releasing the intro song. Or tune, however you like to call an instrumental track. It turned out really nice, so nice that I was even hoping that it was longer. So maybe I didn't finish anything yet either? I don't know. I just need time without interruptions so I can get it on with music. I have so many unfinished projects all over and I'm inspired by new things.

Arts; I have gotten my Wacom tablet quite long time ago but I haven't had the time and inspiration to draw anything with it yet. How embarrassing, I think, but no can do. I just gotta wait for the perfect time.
I'm only living with the power of every success I get done, and to succeed, I need inspiration that can't reach me unless I'm still.
When I have the time, which one should I start working on, a music track or a drawing?
There's always the risk of failing, and that's the opposite of success.
I think that I do get a greater feeling about finishing music than images though. I'd love my music and art to work together though, because for me, almost all the music I hear brings visual images and worlds in front of my eyes.

I've been watching this autumn from my room, not having enough time to go out and photograph. We're living within a cloud right now. The yellow, green and red trees are the basement and everything above and between is a white cloud. We're living within mist. Very beautiful. I want to capture these moments before all the leaves fall off because that's an extremely dark time. I really wish I have the time before this is over. A walk outside in silence can also inspire for other things.

I so hate to be broke.
I so hate to do duties when I'm not in the mood.
I so hate to complain too, really.

I'm having a huge Prince boom on right now. Maybe he's so oldschool (hits 70-90?) but I really like that stuff. A freaky slutty man dancing in high heels and talking a little dirty. His dancing and guitar skills are just great. Music genres can also vary mainly within pop, rock, funk, etc, and for the first time I realize, "fine, if it's Prince, I don't hate rap or hiphop beats." As long as it's the funky Prince. Otherwise I can't stand hiphops and raps. Had to buy his triple album because it wasn't expensive for a triple CD collection. Ah the royal badness of Mr. Purple. (that sounded mad, I don't mean VIOLETTI. )
He has inspired me to dance again. I used to love dancing but I quit some years ago... Well, now I have inspiration again and if I have time, I might want to make some coreographies again. Would do a nice body maintaining sport beside the daily weightlifting routine.

I'm drowning my stress in weird but understandable ways of life. My life doesn't suck that badly right now, I have my sources of power. There's daily pain with some problems that never seem to disappear, but I've also been happy lately.
I thank simple things like music, nature, arts, my lover, my friends and supporters.

Well, that's about it really, I should get back to my piano, I have homework to do. Wish me luck for the test I have about finnish this evening.

Yo, everyone.


I've been thinking.. Since I have done a lot of model stuff and have huge archives of pics, should I put those here too?
And btw if you feel like modeling or co-working, please contact me.

Lately I've noticed that my eyes become tired very easily, so finally today I went to check my eyesight and ordered +0.75 glasses. I'll basically be using them while reading and working, but the staff member said it'd be good if the glasses would be in my permanent use later.
Don't worry, I chose very nice Dolce & Gabbana frames, I promise they're cool.
So I'll get those glasses during next week.

Since next week I'll also be starting school again. But it's only evening school, so I'll still have plenty of time for my own projects, whatever they are arts, music, other.

My sister is visiting. Now I'm gonna cook em some sushi.
Take care everyone!
I have project ideas and I'll get them sone gradually.

I still haven't gotten the damn Wacom tablet! I've ordered it about one month ago but those silly slow people just can't get it for me yet. I'm tired of waiting!

Listening to: Anders Manga - The Source

Oh hey.
Yesterday I finally got my new computer.
I bougt the iMac. [link]

It looks much cooler than my 6 year old PC, certainly.
We still have the first Mac (bought in '96) in the downstairs, functioning. That was the first computer I ever used, but well, it's from '96. A poor and simple computer, but it's still fully finctional after 10 years....
Mainly I've always been a PC user, so this is quite new to me. I've been transferring my old PC files to this new computer during the whole day yesterday. Almost everything's been moved already, there's only some Windows programs. And, I haven't sorted the files to proper folders yet....
Later I'm gonna get Windows XP installed to this same computer (yes it's possible to have them installed and use them at the same time!) so that I get some Win only software work. Luckily, since this mornign I've been able to find some important software for Mac aswell.

Originally I had just been thinking of buying a PC cause it's the type of "default" thing, but at the very last moment I got lost in the Macintosh homepage...
Hey c'mon. I had tried to customize a PC set that'd be suitable for my artistic needs.
Let's think; Macintosh is used by many professional musicians and artists.
And I was looking for the best computer for my music and art projects.
Fine. It's the iMac.

This is going to mean a lot to me. To have a fast computer like this.
I'll be able to enjoy digital art much more. I'll also buy my first Wacom tablet soon. Everything works so fast now that I won't have to waste my time waiting for the computer to function - like I had to do before.
Now I'll be able to concentrate on the actual point - art.

It will take some time to get started with all this now, but I promise I'll be back with new (hopefully great) stuff soon again. I have the needed hardware now.

And you, what've you been up to? I wish you've been having a good time at work & play, and you still have the time and ability to relax and give yourself time, whatever you do. I don't know about you, but I'm on my summer holidays now, and this is the time of a true lonely wolf. ;D

Mood: Thank you!
Listening to: Janet Jackson - Runaway
Reading: Kanji books

Lately I've been getting, very surprisingly lot of attention here on DA.
Today I was browsing DA which, usually is painfully slow on my computer.
Today it ran somehow very smoothly and nicely. I also noticed, hey, it's nice to browse the recieved comments too because I can see them at once, this is new on DA, nice!

Then I went to check my e-mail and, I'm very surprised, what do I find.
I don't know how to thank you enough!
has featured me on his page and bought me 1 year subscription on DA. I'm, totally speechless how this kind of things can happen.
Thank you so much for everyone's support, and a special smile for Coquin for happy surprises like this.


Soon I'll go to the train station and get my next photography model. We'll have a photoshoot this evening. I'm getting a new computer within two weeks, so I'll probably transfer those photoshoot pics to the new computer and not this, since, this is really painfully slow, especially when doing something art related.
I'll keep my eyes open for anything that could give me inspiration.

I hope you're all having a good time wherever you are, at work or on summer holidays, I wish laughter in your days and, bursts of inspiration!

Thanks again for all the support! ]]> ~Mizerable7 http://Mizerable7.deviantart.com/journal/8964813/ http://Mizerable7.deviantart.com/journal/8964813/ Sun, 04 Jun 2006 01:53:17 PDT Last time I visited, I had nine hundred ninety-something, and now all of a sudden it's well over 1,020.

Hey, if you like my work, seriously, watch me, fave the work, throw me a line. It really means a lot to me, more than you can imagine.

Umm... Many people do some special artwork to thank everyone for the 1000th hit, but I'm sorry, I'm not any more special now than I'm ever. Sorry, I'm really boring.

I've returned home for the summer. Life's a bitch at the moment but let's not get stuck to that thought here, cause now I'm here just to write my DA journal innocently. So, the fact that I'm home this summer actually DOES have a lot to do with my artwork. I'm going to have much more time for art (yes, probably traditional also) and more summer views and light to photograph in the nature, probably. I have lots of ideas and some works in the making, so there will be new art submitted all the time. Kick me if I forget this, okay? ...Of course I also have my music projects, they have a very high priority, you know ;D
But I shall not forget art.
My parents have been talking of a new computer, which is great, so I might even be able to really paint with Photoshop again ;o
I could do digital paintings only in the apartment, practically, cause I could borrow 's tablet. IF and WHEN I get that new computer, I'll buy one of those myself too. I really have a lot of ideas, but who the hell can paint 1500+1000px sized paintings with 10-ish layers, with a mouse, on a Windows 98 system that has an average 800 Megabyts FREE space OVERALL at once.
Yeah, no one.
So, have a nice day. I'll submit photography today, I hope. Cleaning and resizing and all that shit DOES require some Photoshopping, so wish me luck. It won't be easy to do the things everyone else does in 5 minutes, with this computer. It will probably take 30-ish instead.


And dears, don't you dare to forget me for the summer ;_; ]]> ~Mizerable7 http://Mizerable7.deviantart.com/journal/8289468/ http://Mizerable7.deviantart.com/journal/8289468/ Mon, 27 Mar 2006 21:36:08 PST
Instead I think I should apologize my laziness concerning my work. First of all I want to correct you that it's not laziness, I've been busy or haven't had enough inspiation to do actual paintings. The good news is that, at the moment, I do have one painting in the making. Yey. But you'll have to wait for it for a long time. Its idea is great, and if I get it done it will be great. Let's cross our hands and wish I won't screw it up.
So I've been submitting photography instead. I know it's maybe somewhat "less great" cause it's said to be much faster or easier, but actually it isn't. Although you might be slightly surprised about the nature of the latest photoshoot, I tell you it took a lot of time to arrange. Remember, I'm not submitting snapshots. I just wish I'd get models to photograph, because I like it so much.
For some reason, the number of my pageviews is increasing strangely, but I hate the fact that I actually don't get comments or favourites, just like always. Heh. Well that's DA, I guess. I never have time to comment on others' work unless I have questions, but I do collect favourites instead.
Wish me luck with the painting I'm making, maybe I'll get it done before I leave this planet. Haha. ]]> ~Mizerable7 http://Mizerable7.deviantart.com/journal/7718586/ http://Mizerable7.deviantart.com/journal/7718586/ Thu, 26 Jan 2006 22:37:16 PST I've been a lazy journal writer as usual, I'm sorry, folks.
And I'm sorry that I haven't had time for any other work than photography lately; But even though one considers photography easier to get done, I tell you they haven't been snapshots but work of hours of adjusting and stuff.

Instead of art, lately I have been busy with my music projects. I finally got myself singing lessons too. But music projects basically mean composing projects, composing stuff for our band to play. I actually have a lot more responsibilities there than just being the singer, but those responsibilities I've taken by myself, so it's my job to fill those too, right? Well, during this spring, we have our first gig to come. We need 1-3 songs there, and we only have about a dozen of unfinished drafts. Oh well, that's a start! I like the drafts so far, at least, but I'd just need to sit down with the drafts again and just finish them. Heh. I suck at finishing, but I've improved at one very important thing already, which is, to learn to like my work.
Lame place and audience for a gig, I say, but it's gotta be started somewhere, this is the first "mission" to prepare this to be a nice performance.

Well, other than music. My japanese lessons at the university have started. It's fun, and even though I'm so much younger than the others, I'm coping there very well and I can feel proud of my skills. (oh fuck, it's like a herd of 300 birds flying out there now, looks like a very threatening herd of bees...) [/offtopic] AND besides japanese, in which I've also improved a lot, hmmm..
I've been listening to a lot of music, longing for a new haircolour, buying mens' perfume, buying Dr. Pepper, getting hooked on Björk's music, selling away old stuff hoping to get some money, waiting for the summer and things like that. Yeah, I'm pretty sick and tired of winter already, it's boring me. But now so that I wouldn't bore you, I'll stop this entry here.

Check out my dears~ ]]> ~Mizerable7 http://Mizerable7.deviantart.com/journal/7380275/ http://Mizerable7.deviantart.com/journal/7380275/ Thu, 22 Dec 2005 08:08:27 PST
It's few days to Christmas. I've been out today, photographing the snowy forest, sun and halo caused by the sun. I'm glad I got so many good shots today.
Parents are in the kitchen, very stressed about all this Christmas stuff. *sigh* wish it wasn't a duty, it makes me really dislike Christmas; It's materialism, duties and stressed people snappin at each other. That's pretty sad. Though, it has something fun too: My sister comes to visit, the food is great, christmas lights are beautiful and presents are nice. So it's 50/50 do I hate or like Christmas. I think I hate the time before Christmas, but not the actual Christmas eve and the time after that. Any time when the stress and tense atmosphere is eased, I can enjoy it.
Damn, I'm hungry, wish my sister would hurry, I won't be getting any food until she and her husband are here, mom's planning to cook reindeer soup, which I liked...
I've been busy, that's why I haven't written LiveJournal either, I Just can't handle things in the middle of stress, do this, do that, don't forget it either. I've gotten things done pretty well so I am cool again. Though, I still have lots of kanji charachters to learn, (okay only 20) but it isn't stressing me because it's fun.
Hum, I am getting the feeling that this journal entry kind of doesn't have a big meaning, so I quit here. I thought I'd have something to say but I see I ain't got much, so excuse me if I stop here. Anyway, wish you all a great Christmas, if you celebrate it. Eat good foods, have a good time with the people around, enjoy the atmosphere and get nice presents!
I'll at least try to be a better journal writer in the future... Ehem. ]]> ~Mizerable7 http://Mizerable7.deviantart.com/journal/6047523/ http://Mizerable7.deviantart.com/journal/6047523/ Wed, 27 Jul 2005 10:20:47 PDT Moonwalker25 is now Mizerable7.
I have moved the _least bad_ pieces of work here. I left the worse ones, those not worth showing, to the old account which you still can view if you wanna but.. Yeah. Try to enjoy. I'll try to finish some work. Shoujo-ai things in the making.
Also I have my new song "My Planetary" in the making, so that might slow down my drawing projects. But. But. Let's keep going! ]]> ~Mizerable7
