The dream of Linux.

~Selina-Vigu — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 04:04:00 PDT

A wise man doesn't make his life more difficult by making usual Windows Xp boot into Xp/Ubuntu dual boot. Guess I'm no wise man at all.

But hell, I's so much fun =] If only I could make my Wacom running in Linux environment... Guess, I'll have to surf the forums and figure a lot of thing out. Oh well...

On the other hand, if it wasn't for that little misunderstanding of the input devises this Ubuntu OS would've been much too easy â I was always thinking âLinux is something WOWâ and not for understanding of mere mortals like me. And it turns out to be much simpler. Or maybe it's that thing called progress. And internet access.

Cheers!

Smells like Spring!

~Selina-Vigu — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 05:11:26 PST

Ahh, the Spring. And not just by the calendar â for there were years when it got screwed up, but really Spring! It smells like one for sure =]

Though I love winter, really I do, but I also love changes. So I'm quite glad for now. If only it stopped raining...

Now, for the clubs â I've joined and . It's fun â have a lot of thumbs in my watchlist recently.

Time management

~Selina-Vigu — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 10:54:55 PST

Good grief, I have so many ideas of what to paint, when am I going to find time and motivation? I mean, the adding-new-item rate of the list "to paint" is much faster than of the "already painted" one. And that makes me lazy-assed

Not to mention I have some photomanips in mind too, though I don't like to create manips, for it's rather difficult to find suitable recourses. Oh well...

By the way, I've recently joined the clubs: , and

It's fun =]

Lingua lament.

My friend, - ÑÐ¸ Ð·Ð½Ð°ÑÑ Ð¿ÑÐ¾ ÐºÐ¾Ð³Ð¾ Ñ Ð¼Ð¾Ð²Ð»ÑÑ, Ð´Ð¸ÑÐ¸Ð½Ð¾! - has been coaxing me to help in writing a story. In Ukrainian. In our native-but-not-completely-so-since-we-donât-know-it-very-well language (itâs possible for weirdos like us to have several native and a few more almost native languages, haha, life is too strange for words).

I mean, kiddo, are you for real? We are ignorant enough, we wonât be able to twist the plotline, the sentences so they are interesting to read (Iâm not even on about grammar and punctuation rules here!)

Maybe Iâm faithless, but itâs more like we are hopeless!

Viva Freedom!

~Selina-Vigu — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 06:10:39 PDT

Bang the drums Â IÂm finally free! Free from uni for the time being and alive to face the world. So I have tons of inspiration and ideas, just let me have my way with the tablet and Painter, let me lay my hands on my easel, brushes and pallet-knifes! Ha!

Rather cheap corpse

~Selina-Vigu — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 04:17:31 PST

Haha, I just passed through cadaver for sale. I really thought IÂd be a more expensive dead body. Sigh, the world is unfair. Honestly, just $4030???!!

New project

~Selina-Vigu — Sat, 26 Jan 2008 13:08:46 PST

IÂm working on a new project, but IÂm so indecisive, sigh. *gets down on knees and prays for accomplishing it*.

I have so many ideas, and all of them seam to constantly fight in my head, argg! Each idea claims to be the best, so obviously some of them are lying and all I have to do is decide which ones are abject liars. And stop banging my head against the wall for it clearly doesnÂt help getting rid of untruthful ideas.

OMG! The first time ever!

~Selina-Vigu — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 14:31:14 PST

Oh dear sweet Jesus! IÂve finished my first acrylic picture! Hurray, *grins like a fool*. IÂm happy, and overexcited. Some small portion of my mind, probably the most annoying after my conscience, keeps on nagging at me that the aforementioned painting is rather small and that IÂve messed it up a bit. Bugger off, stupid mind, youÂre unwelcome right now!

Happy New Year, esteemed population of Deviant!

I wish you in the incoming year, unlike the passing one, no occasional unpleasant situations, such as jammed bottles with acrylic paint, brushes eaten by a cat, easel scratched by the aforementioned cat, to hell him.

I wish you wealth so to finally afford a damned Canon camera, so itÂs not to use the old 5 mega pixel veteran, scotch taped for it decided to jump into the snow with rocks on one of expeditions.

I wish you sincere and cheery friends, who donÂt throw fits every time some doodles mysteriously appear on their writing-books.

All in all, I wish you the best, have fun while you still can!

Nostalgic.

So I was feeling a bit nostalgic Â after all the year's ending. And found the CD with some photos IÂve been taking for several years and I decided to upload them here. Like a reminder of different seasons and various deeds.

Traditional art!

~Selina-Vigu — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 15:42:38 PST

IÂve been trying to paint something with acrylic on canvas!

The traditional art appeared to be, surprise-surprise, much more difficult and tricky to do! ThereÂre no ways of ÂundoingÂ or changing white balance, or hue, or saturation once itÂs already painted. Damn, itÂs so unlike acrylics in Corel Painter! I know, for someone it is obvious, hell it had been obvious for me as well! But damn, I didnÂt expect it to be *that much* difficult.

But the fact remains Â the actual real life painting is sooooo satisfying, and the feeling you get when mixing colors!!! OMG! IÂm in heaven! I just need to ask some passerby angels to teach me how to paint properly (if you, my dear reader, are one of the aforementioned angels, hear my plea send me a note Â IÂd like some tips!)

Merry Christmas everyone!

~Selina-Vigu — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 15:06:43 PST

Well, I have to wait 2 weeks for Christmas (in my country the main religion is Orthodox). Too sad! And while most of my internet friends will be having all this holyday spirit, joyful time etc, I have exams to pass ! Well, itÂs going to add some glee, gloating delight to their glorious mood. Just wonderful.

But I wish you all wonderful holidays. Have fun!
