Hello fellow artists and writers! I've been tagged by an inspiring friend => to participate in what I guess you would call a "chain journal". I think this looks simple & fun so here goes.
1. Post these rules in your journal.
2. Each tagged person must post 8 facts about themselves in their journal.
3. At the end, you must tag 8 people and post their icons in your same journal.
4. Go to their page and send them a message that they have been tagged.
5. No tag-backs.
About me:
1. A little background. I studied traditional methods of illustration in ye olde days before Photoshop was widely used. Back then, we used actual airbrushes that spattered actual paint, and I cut actual frisket with actual x-acto knives. It was horrible. And I had to walk to class even when it was snowing!! Let me tell you kiddies out there, you don't know how lucky you are to have Photoshop! So anyway, I became a graphic designer instead and only this past year have I returned to illustrating. And digital is a whole other thing I think than traditional so I'm outta practice AND re-learning how to draw. But it is so fun and fulfilling!
2. I the PS3 game LittleBigPlanet!!!!!!!!!!!
3. Did I mention I LBP? Ok then, here's another fact. I how when you die in LBP the game is still soooooo fun!! You can't get mad at it even when it's hard.
4. I've indicated in previous journals that I eat cupcake snacks. Well I do like sweets, but I just want everyone to know I'm not fat!
5. I volunteered for, donated to, and voted for !!!!!
6. Every year my wonderfully talented boyfriend => and I like to go on vacation to San Francisco, our favorite city in the country, to just hang out and visit my sister who lives there. I think I would give my left arm (not my right because I draw with that) to live there. Seriously.
7. I'm a kittie mommie. I have 2 who, one of these days, will have portraits in my gallery.
8. I can barely rise from bed in time for lunch on the weekends.
Now I get to tag some folks. I hereby tag the following very nice, talented people:
Toodles! -C

Game of Thrones Series
Anyone interested in discussion about the Game of Thrones series? I stumbled upon a forum here on DA:
http://forum.deviantart.com/galleries/fantasylit/1590303/
There are also some fantastic fan sites out there, but I would caution anyone who hasn't read the books because the book fans out there love to drop spoiler bombs. So beware! Or just go ahead and read the books. ;)
Here is one that I look at on a regular basis: http://winter-is-coming.net/ (very spoilery but great for readers)
Also here is a forum of "Completely Unspoiled Speculation" for people who have not read the books but who are watching the series. http://forums.televisionwi
Game of Thrones Premiere is Near!
Sorry for the pointless journal entry. I really just wanted to try out this gorgeous skin I found by ~lockjavv (https://www.deviantart.com/lockjavv)
Also I have been geeking out big time over the HBO series of Game of Thrones and tonight is a sneek preview of the prologue! So excited! :D
'A Game of Thrones' to be on HBO
Anyone a huge fan of George R. R. Martin? I'm about halfway through "A Game of Thrones" and am enjoying it so much that I even gave up playing video games for a minute so I can read instead. :lol: This novel is some heavy duty stuff for sure.
I went all fangirl and bought a copy of it for my sister for her birthday recently and now I'm very excited to know that's it's going to be a tv series. An HBO tv series. I have really high hopes for it. What do you think? In case you haven't seen the buzz yet, here's a link: http://www.airlockalpha.com/node/7176 I'm excited about the cast: Sean Bean will be Ned Stark and there are some other recognizab
Reminder About Haiti
I just saw a journal that reminded me about the Haiti earthquake and wanted to update my own journal to remind others. This catastrophe was so huge that I think we should try to continue to support the people their for as long as we can. My intention is to continue to donate as I can afford to.
If you're able/interested in helping please check out the journal of ~ZackFairLover (https://www.deviantart.com/zackfairlover) She has a lot of good info and links for where you can donate.

I liked San Francisco too! But it was so long ago that I was there... thinking about it makes me feel old. Then I think of the time before Photoshop and I don't feel so bad (kidding!)
