sometimes i wonder how my life would be different if i had more art in my life growing up. i had an average amount of art exposure in school, and i always did well in it. but as an asian kid, my left brain got more love than my right.
this past summer i learned more about art and composition and light and color than i ever have, and it is so cool to see the world with these things in mind. everything is just more beautiful.
i still don't really consider myself an "artist" because when i am faced with a blank sheet of paper, things don't just appear there for me. i usually end up paralyzed with performance anxiety and perfectionism and indecision. but i have loved exercising my creative lately.

almost 3k pageviews
*shame* I haven't updated my journal in a year :( (and two days.) But the last time I posted, I was celebrating having 2k pageviews, and I looked today - I'm almost at 3k! That's cool :]
Lately all my shots that would be considered 'art' are of food. (I wonder why that is...) So I just upload them to flickr. But um... yeah! I still do check dA regularly, just don't have much to show off :P
2k pageviews
um.. dang, how did it get to 2034?!
yesterday it was 1990something i think...
2k may not be anything compared to some of the amazing artists on DA, but i'm happy.
thanks for looking :heart:
after more than a year
i'm on DA every day, but don't have anything to journal.
anyway, i'm finally starting to mess with photos (colors, borders) before i submit them. christie told me to a long time ago, but i kept forgetting. and i'm lazy.
got a macbook, and my parents are buying me photoshop cs3 design suite for christmas. yess.
and... i'm pretty much over the anime thing. there's a few series i still like, but none that i follow avidly. and i stopped ogling over anime just because its cute or pretty. i prefer more sober, mature art. (because that's what growing up means, right? haha) but in general now photography > anime.
ramblerambleramble.
i miss thlis
i live?
i just realized i havent been too active. it doesnt seem like i've been dead because i still go on DA more than once a day.
anyway my grandfather just passed away so i dont really feel like posting anything...
but soon i shall post christmas tree pics taken with my beautiful D70s.
oh and yeah i did get that photography scholarship :]
PS you should participate in the holiday card thing! i'm getting my whole art club at school to do it, because UCI is only 45 min away, and my dad is the director at the cancer center there. cool, no? :D

Hi, Kristen--
After watching Jim Pavelec go through his art creation method for two hours during OryCon one year (what an education!) I am convinced that nobody, not even artists, have things "simply materialize" for them. I wish. And as for performance anxiety, I am so there.
One thing that helped me was a wonderful old book called "Drawing on the Artist Within". I recommend it.
