Art news:
Lol, I did a portrait of Paul McCartney. It FAILED. Epically XD I might upload it for giggles, to show you how off and how bad it was, but for now I'm trying to fix it in PS. I'm gonna try again soon though.
Some stuff for others is getting done... I've been doing concept work for a story lately, and a lot of it. I've also got a hippogriff in the works, a sketch of my dream room (which was a relaxing project) was finished last night. I'm workin' on fixing that up in PS, too
I'll be a bit more active soon enough.
Life news:
I set up my new printer! Yay!
And my cat is fat again
I met my great grandfather yesterday... It was cool, but kinda odd. You see, my mom's father was put up for adoption as a baby, and he was adopted by the people who I've known as my great grandparents all my life. A few years back my mom wanted to go looking for my grandfather's parents, but then decided against it, because she realized that when she met them, she would have to explain to them that her father/their son had died in a car crash before even she was born. So she backed off. Then a little while later, my grandfather's sister (my new great-aunt Judy) went looking for her family (her missing brother and all) and found us, so mom was able to meet her and we welcomed her into our family (she's awesome, really
Of course my sister and I kept chattering about the Beatles though. We went to his house, then went out to lunch, and while we were sitting in his living room as he went to get his coat, I just turned to my sister and parents and muttered, "He's very clean..." in a British accent XD It's a quote from 'Hard Day's Night' (the movie) in case yeh didn't know. But apparently John (my great-grandfather, not Lennon) was in WWII, in the Coral Sea. That makes it 3 great-grandfathers. My fourth was busy earning educational awards and proving stuff about the Spanish Armada XD John and my dad talked about a lot of war stuff. It was interesting to listen to, but my sister was acting crazy, which was fun to watch and listen to XD She made John laugh really hard and my dad just kept staring at her like, "Oh my god... this is what my genes have done to the world..." XD
So yeah, very interesting day yesterday.
Oh yeah, went to HP exhibit again. I got more chocolate frogs and finally got a Dumbledore card! WHOOT! I saw SO MANY GINGERS there this time! I wanted to tackle this one ginger kid and be like, "YOU LOOK LIKE A WEASLEY." My cousins were like, "STOP CALLING THEM WEASLEYS!" but this one kid looked so much like how I imagine Bill it was creepy.
I'm gonna go finish some more story planning before I go to my friend's house for New Years. I love this story so far. The main character and his friends are based of off people in real life, and I really like these people. Plus the story's falling very neatly into place. So yeah, bye all, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
