Sorry its been so sooo long since i posted or submitted anything! Truth is, i got so tired of the portraits, ive always been really ambitious with art, and tried to experiment in lots of different things....You guys only really saw the boring portrait side to me...I got the stage where i couldnt do anything new anymore!

ANYWAY! Its an exciteing time now...Ive decided what im gonna do with my life (finally) Im going to be going into Special Effects Make-up, and in the mean time, concentrate on my Photography!

Ive opened a new account now, which will showcase all my Makeup and Photography stuff....Only got 3 peices on there right now, but check it out



Hope you are all well! If i ever feel like doing another portrait, i will be submitting it here

Take care
Adam

Ive decided to try and ditch drawing celebs for now, i wanna do some normal people. said to me that is should draw normal people as i can get more emotion from them....thats true!

Only thing is, i never see any good stock artists, i just dont know where to find them! The DA BROWSE function always plays up with me.

Do any of you guys know any good stock artists? or a place i can find them? lol

Help would be appreciated

Today i got a letter through the door from a Uni ive been waiting to hear back from, It turns out i was REJECTED....in a nice way, they said i didnt get it, but ive been put on the reserved list in case anyone drops out (i think thats their standard rejection letter)

Ive gone from applying to the SHITTEST Uni in London....To One of the best, each and every one has rejected me!

Its a shame, I know my passion for art is CRAZY, i cant put it into words how much i love it.......It upsets me that no one else can see it!

When i was at the Interview, i peaked at some of the peoples artwork.....It was STANADARD college "pretty little drawings"......My portfolio kicked ass out of the people that i was being interviewed with (6 people)

SO now im gonna end up going to my local uni, which is a run down DUMP! They take anyone.....I dont even need an interview! Ijust have to go there to enroll.

Looking at my artwork, and my commitment to this shit, its makes me think,

"What the f*ck is it all for?"

I NEED A DAILY DEVIATION! How the hell do i get one? Lol, it seems to be just by luck if you get seen and chosen ...... Obviously it has to be a good piece of art too!

Im getting to the point where some more exposure would be nice! As im still pretty unknown here, its time to step up my game me thinks!

To begin with i thought i wouldn't get one as im just a lil portrait Artist, but today there's a portrait of Christina Aguilera as a daily dev.....And its got dozens of comments and favs! So people must still appreciate us mere portrait artists!! lol

Any help or advice would be appreciated lol!
Ciao!
Adam

YAYA! I Got A Subscription.

I have a fair amount of money right now, and i invest allot of time in Deviantart, so i thought why not get a sub? And its so cheap...£16 for a year! So i got my year sub which is kool!

Also im thinking about getting a Cintiq 15x Drawing on a screen rather than a tablet really appeals to me. And there is one going on ebay for REAL CHEAP! however 15" is fairly small....Its hard to tell how i would be working with it, and as its ebay i cant return it .....We'll see.

Ive been making money lately....I dont wanna go into to much detail, but its not totally LEGIT! lol And it aint drugs so dont go there! lol. But i have a nice amount of money in my paypal account lol.

Is inspiration a good thing? I was looking at some of my fav caricature artists today when i was in the mood to draw....After i finished looking i was totally put off.....Some caricature artists make me look like str8 out portrait artist lol. They have a real eye for exageration, some are CRAZY exagerated.....And it makes me feel really low as i feel i can never be at their level. I do beleive in having natural gifts...Practise can only take you so far! As much as i hated it in the beginning my natural talent is to draw what i see.....I wish i could just draw from my head....But when i even try i start drawing like a 12 year old lol

To add to my frustration my Wacom and my computer aint getting along and i cant seem to install my Wacom driver....rendering it USELESS!!

Im drawing more on paper now...I need to fill up a sketch book to show at universitys......Im just scared they will just see it as a book of portraits with no meaning!

AAAND.....I soooo want to learn illustrator, but i really dislike the creative process, its so tediouse and takes every inch of fun out of drawing.....But i love the outcome (not that i even have any outcomes yet!!)

Im REALLY trying to open my mind up, usually when i draw i start drawing the perfect lines......Now i try to visualise exactly what i want on the page....And draw from my mental image....Also drawing really loose helps too, rather than getting the perfect drawing out on the page, i try to build the drawing up gradually.

Also im getting allot of ideas of some peices i want to make....Music really inspires me, lyrics seem to be giving me lil images to draw.....I wanna do this in illustrator but.....its a right b*stard to learn!

Ok this is a long update! Rant over! lol

Hope everone is well. ]]> ~soulsurfer http://soulsurfer.deviantart.com/journal/8913697/ http://soulsurfer.deviantart.com/journal/8913697/ Mon, 29 May 2006 17:05:06 PDT
NOW - I NEED YOUR HELP!

I need a NAME! Im going to be creating a website with all my artwork and good stuff......But i have no idea what name i should use for the website, i want something funky...and something that matches my style. This name will also be on business cards etc too!

Example: BabyBlueBeats is a friend, Beat Kitchen is my brothers music......You get what im sayin? I hope so

ANY ANY SUGGESTIONS I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE!!!

Thanks Allot

The only SEMI decent Art Shop in my local area has closed down! I have another one near by but its the shittest art shop ever!!

I hate england, i really do! - I downloaded this DVD on drawing, the guys uses 'Prisma Colours' and these Markers that scale from 10% to 80% - Its IMPOSSIBLE to find these anywhere in the UK, I found some kool pencils equivilant to the Prisma Colours - But the markers are really hard to find

I remember I went to Canada and i went into this GENERAL stationary shop - yet it sold EVERYTHING! Art Books (good ones, that i can only get on Amazon), I even remember them selling them prisma colours (Oh i want them!!)

Yet in ENgland, u walk in to a Specialised art shop, and they will have the basic artists needs, thats it

England SUUUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

If Anyone knows any good art supplyers in LONDON or websites ni th uk.....Plzzzz lemme know ]]> ~soulsurfer http://soulsurfer.deviantart.com/journal/7620296/ http://soulsurfer.deviantart.com/journal/7620296/ Mon, 16 Jan 2006 12:21:28 PST I havnt been very active around here lately, But thats gonna change soon - I cant find my WACOM Pen which is soooo annoying lol!

I was at Uni, but i made the choice to leave, Everything about it made me miserable - The course was good but i didnt know if it was me, And i dont know if i want to spend my career life behind a computer?
Its a really frustrating time right now, Since i turned 20 it really freaked me out, I used to think i had all the time in the world, but now i really need to get my head sorted and decide what i want to do.

My problem is that im too Ambitiouse - Some days i wanna be a Painter, a Sulpter, a Special FX Makeup artist, an Animator.....I even wanna be a social worker lol. All these things and i dont know where to go!

So this time out of education will hopefully be good for me! I really wanna get painting again cos i miss it so!
I wanna start useing Oils again and maybe try my luck at selling them on Ebay, I could use the cash lol!

Hope everyone is fine and Happy New Year!

My next big gallery hit is 10,000 - Wow im so happy with that - Thanks to everyone for the support

Also im really REALLY gonna try and work on my art and become a better artist! Right now im working with traditional stuff like pencils and charcoal, It kinda hurts doin this becuase what im doing now is NOTHING compared to my digital work, but im takeing it slow and practising!

Also im gonna work on makeing Airbrushed T-Shirts, the kind Missy wears, and you know i will be reprsenting Aaliyah on them hehehe! Maybe one day i can wear my own!

I got such high hopes of what i hope to become as an artist, But i know im not gonna get anywhere if i dont work on my craft, So if im innactive you know what im doing!

College is really bugging me, im just not likeing it! I chose Fine Art thinking it would be painting - but its EVERYTHING photography, 3D, Contexual...its just horrible im not enjoying it!

Im thinking maybe the art subject isnt for me - but i dont know cos i want a career in it! But im too busy focusing on my own art - instead of doing my homework im working on things for my gallery cos its just what im in love with!

If i couldnt paint i think i would just die, and im comming to realise, especially with my kinda art - that its VERY unlikely that i can paint like this and earn a decent living

I was an hour late thuogh, cos i was drawing my Latest Aaliyah pic lol, im such a geek but when i start something, i find it hard to let go. buuuut i had too!

I got a bit drunk, i dont really like the "drunk" feeling, i just feel hopeless and ant function properly lol I did request Aaliyah though the stupid DJ was playing crap music all night, He put "Rock Da Boat" on, which was excelent, but he would have to choose the one that is hard to dance too lol

It was a fuuun night though Oh i so so sooooo dont wanna go to college tommorrow, im hateing it!! ]]> ~soulsurfer http://soulsurfer.deviantart.com/journal/1427482/ http://soulsurfer.deviantart.com/journal/1427482/ Thu, 20 Nov 2003 10:59:45 PST
When i was 15ish i wanted to be a 3D Artist, and i used to try and make characters in 3D with this program i had...I used to say to myself "oh when i am 18 im gonna be huge, and be very skilled" lol - And i couldnt wait to be 18

but NOW, i realise i havent come THAT far, im now 2D (weird crossover, dont know how that happened!) and im not as good as i hoped to be!

Although im SOOOO happy to be turning 18, I can go clubbing, buy alchohol (not that i want to) and basically am free from most age restrictions!

It turns out now that we can submit, but it doesnt look like anyone else is getting it on their devwatch!

Someone on my devwatch just submitted something and DA didnt tell me so....GRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Its Love hate! I love DA cos its the only excelent art community!

I HATE DA, cos they try to be clever and change something that doesnt really need to be changed!......Does anyone actually care what it looks like lol, i know i dont!

Well my new peice was kind of a sucsess, i got allot of favs on it (7 favs for me is ALLOT okay! lol) My image on Qoi's site and Minixs site doesnt really make a difference with me getting more views - DA is fucked, Im pretty certain if they posted that image, they would get way more comments a praise!

Its not bothering me, Im just gonna carry on doing my thing! I love it - hopefully others will to, im not gonna kiss ass to get more page views lol

I've been thinking of ideas, I got a phew ideas of some kool peices which are more PERSONAL - i like the idea of people looking at my paintings and getting a grasp of me through them - But i will do that when im more popular, thats the kinda thing i wanna share with people!

DA is so totally slow as well - And there are lots of little red crosses floating about in peoples gallery - Jeez sometimes i think "Why cant they just leave things as they are" ]]> ~soulsurfer http://soulsurfer.deviantart.com/journal/1324408/ http://soulsurfer.deviantart.com/journal/1324408/ Sun, 26 Oct 2003 08:41:49 PST

SO - Im asking you - What do you think im not doing right? Is there something i should do, other things i should try? WHATS WRONG WITH MEEEEEEEEEEEEE lol

Be as harsh as you want - The harsher you are the more i will love you in return lol ]]> ~soulsurfer http://soulsurfer.deviantart.com/journal/1301218/ http://soulsurfer.deviantart.com/journal/1301218/ Mon, 20 Oct 2003 11:06:53 PDT I didnt think Deviantart would be that crap without it, But allot of the kool features i like are GONE! ggrrrrr, I may have to buy another

NOW! Stop playing Favouried a CHECK THESE ARTISTS OUT!

BIG TIME OVERLOOKED! Photorealisic pencil portraits, he doesnt even have 2000 views yet! plzplz ceck him out

He has a VERY kool style

AMAZING - cant get much better when it comes to natrual media - seriously overlooked! CHECK HIM!

A friend of mine i met through DA and hes a very kool artist working his way up to be huge!

Im gettin a but pissed off with DA again, how these good artists are getting ignored, Although Comments are'nt everything, and no artist should need them, they deserve the attention! I see some people on here, who are good, but get an unbeleivable amount of attention. DA is all about connections and the friends you have ]]> ~soulsurfer http://soulsurfer.deviantart.com/journal/1294267/ http://soulsurfer.deviantart.com/journal/1294267/ Sat, 18 Oct 2003 19:22:28 PDT
HOWEVER im being soooooo lazy - I can hostly say when i paint a picture i just do as i please, paint it and post it. I dnot put no real EFFORT into them, I just do what my skills do for me

The reason i dont do effort is becuase im not patient at all, i like to get something finished as soon as possible for some reason - So some time soon i will paint something that screams effort - You'll know HOPEFULLY when that thing comes

ALSO - Will i ever stop painting Aaliyah? lol - i cant help it! ]]> ~soulsurfer http://soulsurfer.deviantart.com/journal/1273418/ http://soulsurfer.deviantart.com/journal/1273418/ Mon, 13 Oct 2003 19:15:05 PDT
Im working on something a bit dark! Ive done the lines, i always do that well, but i cant help but fill the peice with colour, plus i have a cartoony style - TOTALLY not dark,so fingers crossed it will come out ok - Im gonna work on that tommorrow

A "BIG BIG" THANKYOU to and - You to always seem to comment on my Journal entrys, I usually dont get comments, and just write to myself, which im kool with, but i TOTALLY appriciate yuo two reading and commenting, i really dont expect it, But THankyou for your constant support ]]> ~soulsurfer http://soulsurfer.deviantart.com/journal/1262110/ http://soulsurfer.deviantart.com/journal/1262110/ Sat, 11 Oct 2003 04:46:35 PDT

I just dont know how to make them into finished peiced?

Maybe i'll use the sketchbook for myself and just post CG work for deviantart - I dont know if a Sketch from my sketchbook would look good in my gallery? ]]> ~soulsurfer http://soulsurfer.deviantart.com/journal/1255173/ http://soulsurfer.deviantart.com/journal/1255173/ Thu, 09 Oct 2003 13:01:49 PDT
Drawing with real media is fuckin hard! Im so stressed - Its like i havnt drawn in years and ive just picked up a pencil!?

Maybe i just need to keep practising and get re aquainted with the pencil!

Im really upset that im finding it so difficult - I always think i will be great as soon as i start - thats NEVER the case lol

Oh god - I dont wanna be a CG freak ]]> ~soulsurfer http://soulsurfer.deviantart.com/journal/1234768/ http://soulsurfer.deviantart.com/journal/1234768/ Sat, 04 Oct 2003 08:52:15 PDT
So i will keep sending off some stuff that im working on, but in the mean time im gonna start working with Pastels - I picked up a few books on the subject and i gotta get practising! I love the look pastels give to portraits

WISH ME LUCH ]]> ~soulsurfer http://soulsurfer.deviantart.com/journal/1220330/ http://soulsurfer.deviantart.com/journal/1220330/ Tue, 30 Sep 2003 11:46:06 PDT
Okay so im a tad bored of my suff, But i like the fact that its my style - I try not to get influenced too much and NEVER go near tutorials, i dont like to look at them becuase your just picking up on someone elses way of working - EVERYTHING in my work is just from my head and is how i work, the hair, the way i draw etc etc

I "REALLY" wanna do some writeing - im gonna try soon, ive always loved writeing, Its something i used to do as a kid, even though it was not seriouse, i think natural gifts come from an early age - I used to sit in my old tree and make up songs lol

Okay enough blabber!

Also im still working on my figure painting, its not a full figure but theres more to it that just a head this time lol! its comming ]]> ~soulsurfer http://soulsurfer.deviantart.com/journal/1198513/ http://soulsurfer.deviantart.com/journal/1198513/ Wed, 24 Sep 2003 08:28:51 PDT
1) Ive been at college! The class/college sucks, but im learning new ways of expressing myself through art! the 3d work is a pain in the ass - DIE PAPER MACH'E DIE!!

2) Im really bored of my stuff - I look at my gallery and see a bunch of heads! So im working on full figure peices! I have a day off tommorrow which im gonna dedicate to doing something! ]]> ~soulsurfer http://soulsurfer.deviantart.com/journal/1082921/ http://soulsurfer.deviantart.com/journal/1082921/ Wed, 20 Aug 2003 11:56:20 PDT
I think were i went wrong is that i was trying to hard to match just one of them! Lately ive just kicked back and done as i pleased!

I call my new stuff 'KHADICATURES' because i feel this is "my style" and its "me" so Seeing as my last name is 'Khadaroo' (dont luagh!) I added the KHAD and as my stuff is Caricature influenced i add the ICATURE lol!

I like to think its a fusion of All of the above! ]]> ~soulsurfer http://soulsurfer.deviantart.com/journal/1079819/ http://soulsurfer.deviantart.com/journal/1079819/ Tue, 19 Aug 2003 09:44:37 PDT

Im getting some really kind comments THANKYOU to every1 that stops by!

Its comming up to Aaliyahs 3 year anniversary since she passed away - So right now im working on yet another tribute to her, This one should hopefully come out realistic - Ive just done the lineart and its looking pretty good

Stay Kool Everyone! ]]> ~soulsurfer http://soulsurfer.deviantart.com/journal/1069953/ http://soulsurfer.deviantart.com/journal/1069953/ Fri, 15 Aug 2003 17:59:59 PDT
I used to submit at a time i thought would be popular and more peoplen would see it - NOW however i dont care, this is my page where i hold my work - if people comment then thats a great bonus!!

I was working on something else before the FABOLOUS peice, but did that quickly as a breather, so hopefully tommorrow i will have the other peice up! - I like how its lookin, very grooovy!

I love openCanvas lol ]]> ~soulsurfer http://soulsurfer.deviantart.com/journal/1064380/ http://soulsurfer.deviantart.com/journal/1064380/ Wed, 13 Aug 2003 16:05:19 PDT
check out my gallery, Ive updated all my old images, becuase my monitors colour was wrong before, my images came out kinda de-saturated of all colour - Well i fixed my monitor and i tryed to correct the colour as much as i could So they look allot better now!

I also deleted my black and white drawings, I want my gallery to be all about Colour, it looks nice now

OK OK i said i would take a break - i just CANT! So i figured i wuold experiment allot more, and post my efforts NIGHT CRAWLER is my first

I got something NEW comming, it will be AMAZING i think, better than deep in thought hopefully (which i cant seem to top!)

KEEP WATCHING ]]> ~soulsurfer http://soulsurfer.deviantart.com/journal/1042650/ http://soulsurfer.deviantart.com/journal/1042650/ Wed, 06 Aug 2003 17:55:23 PDT
So im gonna just work for myself, develop something new!

Hope my DA watchers dont get bored and just delete me! When i return it will be with a BANG i hope!

DeviantArt is a great place! But allot of people on here seem to appriciate things that take less effort like cartoons and Anime - Which is fair! Thats like the "IN" thing now!

The day i draw a damn Manga pic will be the day im VERY desperate!

I will still be around! I just wont be submitting ]]> ~soulsurfer http://soulsurfer.deviantart.com/journal/1003291/ http://soulsurfer.deviantart.com/journal/1003291/ Tue, 29 Jul 2003 03:32:08 PDT
Last night was long and painfull! But i finally arrivedback into England saftely! I hate plains and Airports!

Well the first thing that hit me was that crispy sharp chilly air! Which i missed! I was getting used to the musky warm turkish air lol!

Im a bit jet lagged and feeling a bit crappy! But i will be fine soon! I need to see my friends and go into town! Get back into my usual rutine!

When i got back i received my letter from my College! It told me the dates of my enrolment! Im so excited! This college has a worse reputation than my last one! But its only 5 minutes bus away, and the art department is well respected! it cant be all bad!

New Friends - New start! I cant wait! ]]> ~soulsurfer http://soulsurfer.deviantart.com/journal/983316/ http://soulsurfer.deviantart.com/journal/983316/ Thu, 24 Jul 2003 12:50:14 PDT
Well i was just browsing through my gallery! I may delete my old pictures!

If you look at my older pics a look of them look deSaturated in colour and look pale! The reason for this was becuase my monitors gamma settings was messed up! Its more or less fixed now so thats why my new peices look allot richer in colour! JUST had to tell you lol!

Well im gettin bored on holiday now! All this sunbathing! Ergh ]]> ~soulsurfer http://soulsurfer.deviantart.com/journal/977459/ http://soulsurfer.deviantart.com/journal/977459/ Wed, 23 Jul 2003 05:16:35 PDT
