And I have decided to break down this page by next fall and start a new one, because I have been absent and haven't maintained this one well enough with everything else going on and I want to do a better job. In that time I will need to get me a new avatar, organize and have better images of some of the work, and re-subscribe.

And then all will be well.

So my resolution is to have more of a presence on DevArt starting this Sunday. This will include forum and chat talk, commenting on others artwork, uploading at least a half-dozen artworks each month, and generally making my profile more hospitable and interesting place to hit up. I want to feature some artists work as well in my journal.

Guess what?

I'm engaged to Vincent Sodders.
Wedding date to be set in 2011.

If you got questions, go ahead and ask. Otherwise, that's all I feel obligated to announce at the moment.

Well, it's been a wild and crazy summer, kiddies. I will condense it into one sentence for you. I have gastroparesis, gut-wrenching domestic violence issues, art commission constipation, and stomach butterflies for confidential reasons. Funny how it all boils down to my abdominal areas. Haha. Yeah, I had to stretch a few of those.

Anyway, I'm back in college, and like I promised, my return to DA is evident. Soon I will be uploading new work, even old work I didn't get around to last time. And for all of you who have missed my loopy comments, that will be on the upswing from here on out. I missed it too. Not to mention I have like almost 3,000 new pieces of artwork to look at. So pardon me if I comment on something a year after you posted it.

Anyway, it's great to be back. Look forward to hearing from everyone. Hope all is well.

See ya.

Health issues and commissions back-up due to the fact is going to make my presence on Deviant Art scarce for the summer.So please do not feel offended if I do not reply to you or comment on your work for the next couple of months. I will resume updating art and deviant art affairs in September. Thank you for your concern, Emily.

So, you know that stomach illness you come down with after you accidentally rip a extremely wonderful work in progress that you've spent over 100 hours on and the deadline is right around the corner? Yeah. That icky, twisting, gut-under-a-guillotine feeling. That's my gut.

And then you feel mentally sick for taking a day to yourself to loosen up? You hike a bit, you eat a bit more than you ought too, you sleep a bit more than you should. That guilty beyond guilty feeling that follows you while you happen to be awake. You think you should keep moving, now that you've lost so much time, but you do nothing about it. And you pray: "Lord Jesus, come!" That was my today.

And then it results in something akin to a quiet anxiety attack? That is me now.

I perverted my own masterpiece.
....

Never mind me.

Let me turn your attention to some lovely artwork.

These are other very anal, perfectionist artists, who no doubt, understand where my pain is coming from- for they too, work countless hours on a very photo-realistic drawing or painting in the time other artists can whip out a hundred digital sketches or what not. (nothing wrong with that)(I just don't think they can sympathize with me)...and I've been wanting to feature these works for some time, because they truly are sources of inspiration and envy.

Feast your eyes on this. Not a 1/30th of a second photograph. 30 hours of pencil madness.

Don't pet that kitty. You might smear the delicate graphite fur. Behold two weeks of life.

Don't wait for it to blink. Just a drawing.

I wouldn't take a bite from one of those plums- you'll get a mouthful of sweat and color pencil.

Don't adjust your monitor. That is a painting.

Never has cold metal been so life-like. In acrylic.

So those are a few. There are many more. Some from the same artists as featured above. There aren't many gifted with that sort of p... ]]> ~emilytheartist http://emilytheartist.deviantart.com/journal/18201055/ http://emilytheartist.deviantart.com/journal/18201055/ Tue, 06 May 2008 17:53:44 PDT






The first 5 deviants who post in this journal will be featured. I will go though your gallery and choose 3 of your deviations I like the most and post them in my journal for everyone to see!

The catch?

You have to put this in your journal as well if you posted!

On other news, I have been selcted by `iggygirl to be featured in the BOA (Book Of Art)! I will set aside a journal for that in time, but today is my last day of classes and I am so happy- but I need to go!

NOW HIT UP MY GALLERY! lol

I have a self-portrait in oil pastels on its way...so when I add that, maybe folks will check out the rest! Stay 'tuned!

If you haven't checked out my Vintage Vibrant Collection: you don't know what your missing.

Let me tell you: nothing. You've seen all of it before. Because they are sterotypes of the older days before even I was around. But they are in flashy color, so you might just get a sparkle in your belly over it. Just treat yourself. It can't hurt you. Not like meth.

Anyway, meander your way to the left and sucker-punch-click that "browse galler" link.

Make my day.

Also, I have a handful of non-photography pieces ready to be uploaded as soon as I have the time, perhaps this weekend, so be looking forward to that, watchers.

Thanks for the page views and comments; they are much appreciated in getting my page "out there" like it ought to be.

<3Emily

And can you say Ripstik 5 times really fast? Neither can I. But I can carve real tight on one 5 times in a row. And that's something to be said considering it's supposed to be a tough thing to pick up. I love riding it. If you don't know what a Ripstik is, it's a skateboard with only 2 wheels. And it needs torsion to move. But that's a science word, so I can't help you there.

Anyway, I'm really into to scratchboards right now. So expect a ridiculous amount of them. My apologies.

As always, thanks for watching.

<3 emily

And yes, I am as upset as you are that Across the Universe did not get an Oscar for Costume Design or at least get a nomintation for Cinematography. That movie was ART.

And bless you Jon Stewart for this one: "Julie Christie was absolutely amazing in 'Away From Her.' Brilliant movie. It was a moving story of a woman who forgets her own husband. Hillary Clinton called it the 'feel good movie of the year.' "

And I poems and other writings I've been reluctant to put up, but maybe I'll get round to it when I'm feeling less wishy-washy.

On another note, I have been informed that the winner of the HSC portrait is P. Harkins, and I will be doing my next photo-realistic artwork for him. This piece will be of him next to his cape buffalo game. I have done little on it so far that is recognizable, but I think in due time I will post work in progress images, so if you are interested in keeping tabs, you can look for it in scraps as well.

BTW, has anyone tried those Sammies at Quiznos? Seriosly, Alpine Chicken is the best. I'm not advertising or nothing, I don't even work there or have stock in Quiznos, but I got to holler out the good things in life, and that's one of them. I don't believe I have tried anything else on the menu. Haha.

And on further news, I am proud to announce my loss: 10 pounds now since New Years. I tell you what, excercising nearly everyday is about the best thing I've done for myself in a long while. I'll be back to my prom dress size in no time.

And my motivation to look my best, no doubt, comes from my longing to be with a certain someone...but I'll save that for another time.

Well, I've decided that while I am on a cruise next week, I ought to bring my sketch book (quite empty) and do some sketches of whatever. This is assuming that I have any time at all to just sit. I might be having too much fun. But I think the only way to over come an empty sketch book is to tackle it head-on and hope for the best. I'm all about finished pieces, so chances are my "sketches" will have a full composition and I wil be able to whip out two of them. Haha.

Also, I can't for the life of me figure out how to add a photo of myself above my email like so many others have. Is this only for subscribers?

Well, if so, I might find out soon.

On another note: I have lots of work to upload in the next month. Lots. And lots. Art I should have uploaded months ago. I've been MIA, yes.

But I'm back, or at least trying to be back...just the pain from my loss is great, and it will take time to heal.

Death is a part of life, but maybe this will be a birth of something... I think, I hope. It wouldn't be fair to Lovey's memory if I didn't make an encore presentation of my love for her.

So with that said, hello again.

-Emily

But for now, I have a migraine, which means 'no heavy decision making' for me right now.

Just typing out short and semi-pointless journals instead.

And maybe uploading more artwork, however poor the resolution. I need to buy a scanner and save me the hassle.

Over and out.

The good news is I moved, thus my IP address changed, and I think that's what did the trick. So here I am to wallow in the art community of Deviant Art.

And this would officially be my first journal entry.

Over and out.
