Show and tell.

[midgetgem]

[WimpyRen]

OOOOhhhhh those are so cool. I love little baby frogs! Even though they always pee on me when I go to pick them up

I just remembered what this reminds me of! It has a kinda Egon Schiele quality to it.

[midgetgem]

Thanks viv! I've got a gallery on art attack (Art Attack (http://www.artattack.to) ) I'm under the name midgetgem, and I've done a couple of commisions but mainly its just fun to paint and draw.

On a more annoying note my lid of my resin is stuck, and neat ideas to get it off?

Ahhhh Art Attack!!! How cool is that? On a resin note, you might try carefully prying the lid off the sides a tiny bit with like the edge of scissors or something, just enough to break the seal a little, after that it should turn?

i did the very bad thing of chewing it probably more shut trying to open it... hmmm i might resort to cutting a new hole thru the lid!

[WimpyRen]

beautiful! I love the colors in the second one- tres impressive!! It makes me happy to see good stuff

Awwwww thank you :), I'm really quite proud of both of them!

[crazy_spork_i_am]

great stuff~! hehehe, i was on art attack for awhile (crazysporkiam) but i haven't put anything new up there for a long time now. i've been leaning more towards digital stuff so i find that mess studio fits me a bit better.

skimming through your gallery i really dig your watercolor stuff. i love the mixed media you do, gives your stuff this surreal look to them.

i like 'kitchen girl' the best. as well as your series of dress designs.

midgetgem: I was looking at your public profile the other day, and I just realized that your birthday is a day later than my brothers!! Just a random note, I thought that was neat^^

(This was taken WAY earlier in the year, so my hair is much longer now)

[midgetgem]

Wow thats pretty cool!

I keep wanting to buy a kimono/yukata/furisode (delete as moods change!) but i really prolly need an obi more!

I'm here kinda! Got a mad amount of work to get through, that's why I'm so quiet :(

[midgetgem]

I love this place lots!

I start work on monday though, then i wont be online wondering where you are!

[kaijou]

Couldn't sleep, and I have to get up in a few hours to work on audio homework for class this noon, so I drew these in the meantime...

This one's (http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b315/kaijou/marissa_archer.jpg) just of me wearing a dueling kimono w/ hakama, about to fire off an arrow from my longbow. The hand looks a lil' weird cuz I kinda half-assed the sketch.

Second one (http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b315/kaijou/bishi_knight.jpg) is of my Tony and me...um...heh. Bit of a fantasy of mine n_n;;; Don't worry! It's nothing dirty or the like. Just me wearing same outfit mentioned above and he's dressed as a 15th cent. Irish knight. Based off a short story I wrote for him...*blushies much*

Last one's (http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b315/kaijou/tony_vs_voldemort.jpg) a silly doodle of Voldemort acting like hot-shit-in-a-champagne glass, but he's really just cold-diarrhea-in-a-Dixie-cup. Tony stomped him good :p

So here's my work when I'm tired. I get all weird and crazy ^^;;

[midgetgem]

wow kaijou they are lovely!

dammit!

[Matsuko]

The drawings are very lovely! I haven't drawn in forever. i have the equivalent of writer's block, but for drawing. Been turning out writing like crazy though. It's kinda scary.

[kaijou]

Aw, shucks *blushes* thanks guys!

[vivien]

Those drawings are so cute! the Voldermort one made me giggle:)

[kaijou]

Okay, Tony kept bugging me nonstop to post these pics of him dressed in his whole Irish leine get-up while posing with his bastard sword and shield, soooo...

Teehee. Those are fun pics. I still want that targe.. Bastard. sword. Heehee.

[Nobuyoshi]

I wish my hair was longer. Its pretty long now, but it could be longer. It just comes down to the middle of my mouth right now, which is ine by me, but I can't put it in a topknot like this. That, and the back is short cuz I have one of the reverse mullet cuts where I spike my hair in the back, so that doesn't work for topknots either. So its my delima, have a fun modern haircut, or have a fun ancient Japanese haircut..

[Hanadai]

Did I ever showed you my meat-eating plant? He's called 'Brutus'! :eek:

[raks_hime]

Brutus is gorgeous! How long have you had him?

[Hanadai]

Brutus is gorgeous! How long have you had him?
I still have him! I've got him about 8 months ago. He nearly died last month, but now he's growing again. Only the red parts inside his 'mouth' are not red anymore, so he looks not as cute :(
He is difficult to take care of, as he may only drink rain-water or boiled-water.

[vivien]

That is so cool!!!!!!! I always wanted a plan like that, but like you say, they are tricky to look after. He seems to be flurishing though.

mine is poorly- I didnt know he needed boiled water

mine is a year old and she flowered once :)

This pic was made in the beginning, now he's looking a bit sad. But still alive! We once fed him a dead fly, it was so fun to see!

heeheehee, i love feeding mine flies too though i think she may be overfed perhaps..

[Hanadai]

yep that happens. I also found out that it's no good to touch the leaves with your fingers so that they close. They can only close for like 5 times, then the leaves die. :(
Yours is a 'she'?? We should come together and let them make babies? :D

[kaijou]

Did I ever showed you my meat-eating plant? He's called 'Brutus'! :eek:

Cool, I've always wanted a venus fly trap, but I never really had the knack for taking good care of plants. I always end up killing them within the first month :p

[Hanadai]

lol!

She would love that- I wonder if you have to get a plant passport?

[Matsuko]

I bought some orchids once and they flowered and then never flowered again... I hate it when you spend so much on plants and they just don't like you back! I dunno, just noticed the whole thing on how he isn't so red anymore and couldn't help thinking about how hard it is to take care of some plants. Nobu-chan keeps killing baby bonsais so maybe that's similar.

[Nobuyoshi]

Hey, its not my fault my mom got me an azalea bonsai..those things are hard to care for. I think that if I grew my own it would actually live.
I wonder if you can bonsai meat eating plants...

[Matsuko]

I doubt it, theyre rather small to begin with, but perhaps we'll get you one. And we'll name it after you and you both can eat tons of meat.
