Had a fire pit last night. Fun times were had and it was super nice out.
Tomorrow it's going to be really super warm. I'm hoping to go roller blading when I get home.
Since I'm currently sitting disrobed and sweaty from exercising and I will not be photographing myself I present to you a sketch I did the other night.
Since I haven't taken any recent pictures of my face, here is another picture from the Show Off gallery.
With me is @Iararawr one of the three winners including myself. She's a friend of mine, it was so neat that we both won.
It still hasn't really sunk in that I won such a wonderful prize with my art. I'll continue to marvel in the brilliance of the whole experience for some time.
I got up this morning thinking I would end the day disappointed.
It turns out that isn't how it went at all.
I won Show Off.
I won.
I fucking won.
There were three grand prize winners, my, @Iararawr and some other person who I don't know.
It can't even tell you what went through my mind when they called my name. I heard my mom screaming behind me and then I just sort of willed myself forward, the crowd parted and before I knew it I was crying and shaking the hand of the president of the school as he gave me a certificate.
I couldn't even really hear anything. All I remember was crying and walking back to hug my mom and everyone else who came to see me and my piece.
I can't believe it.
I just cannot fathom that it really happened. I'm still struggling through my waves of intense emotions.
The fact that Iara won as well was fantastic! We are friends and it was so great to be able to share the experience with her. I was much more of a baby then she was. She seldom cried a single tear while I had to get my sister to fix my make up as best she could for photos.
The first picture is before I knew of the events to come and the second is after I had won, cried my heart out and gotten really warm from all the people surrounding me. I got strangers coming up and hugging me and congratulating me.
It was one the best moments of my life. I'm almost crying just writing this.
I'm euphoric.
I painted this last night. I planned to get a lot more work done, but this ended up taking up much more of my time then I had anticipated.
Acrylic, four hours.
Tomorrow being the Show Off award ceremony. I'm super excited and of course nervous.
So I'm blocking any deep thoughts about it by deciding what I'll wear. I'm going with this dress, Ill probably curl my hair or something.
My lady friend Katie has a particularly lovely face that I could not stop myself from painting.
My scanner wouldn't turn on so I took a photo, which is a pain in the ass but it was this or nothing.
Water colour, three hours.
Did my sugar skull make up again. I will never not love it and do it on a frequent basis.
I'm going to eat chocolate and listen to Free Bird while crying over pictures of Ewan Mcgregor now.
Sorry I've been gone forever. I was fucking lazy and was the idea of boothing was tedious and annoying.
So here is a picture I took the other night.
I haven't done my hair like this in a while and I think when warmer weather comes about, I get the urge to wear it more often.
Now I'm leaving. Bye.
