Photographs this time. If not real pearls from the archives at least a bit older ones from the depths of my folders.

Earlier this autumn I visited Old Hill Ranch and besides stuffy nose I got a nice bunch of pics and a whish to go there again. Unforunately I can't remember the name of that first cutie, but the second one is called Heinäahon Ronja. If someone knows the name of the first one, feel free to comment and tell me. :)
Then some even older ones. The first one from a boat on calm lake Pielinen. The second is taken in an island. It looks like my little brother would be grilling his toes. :DMy pcis are in pretty unlogic order today... Well, in July there was a birthday party I attended and I got a quite nice pic of the one who's birhtday it was:

This time I'm updating only for one picture. I'm not even going to wait that I'd finish another one so I could post them at once...

I made this one using watercolour and pencil. I like the way it looks like. I've done a couple of other artworks like this, but they never ended up here. My scanner wasn't so nice to this one...

I think you need an explanation just to know what there is in the picture. The idea for this came from Sonata Arctica's song Zeroes: "A pie in the sky is your brave new world". That's what it is. A pie in the sky. It was nice to paint the clouds and the sky. :D

Yesterday I was writing a text on advertising. For school of course. But because I haven't followed any medias very actively I "had" to do some background work for example in YouTube just to remember what kind of commercials there are. I found real tresures. :D This (it's in Finnish. Sorry) is one intresting example. I laughed so much. (Even the song was in my head afterwards, which was really annoying...)

Even more reasons to laugh I found from 4 first episodes of Pokemon. Dubbed in Finnish. I recommend for people who are suffering of boredom. X) Watch in language you understand though.

Today we got to know the results of the first exams. (There are five exam weeks in a year.) Tomorrow we'll know the grades we got from the courses. I think it'll go well. At least there wasn't anything bad in the test results. :D At least not much. Then a couple of artworks I've made were chosen for exhibithions. I'll upload pics of them as soon as I get them back.

In fact I didn't have anything else to say... I just felt like writing a bit of something here. And maybe show you this:This is some kind of student humour then... The original is called MAOL-table.

I didn't upload any pics last time, so I'll do it now:

This actually is only practising with pencil. No really good idea or anything behind this one. I just tried not to make too much lines or fill the paper with some foggy grey, which means trying to use the white better. Partly it worked, partly it didn't.


For the next one there was an idea. :D I wanted to know what kind of music a band called Cain's Offering makes and I started to like the song More Than Friends. My sister almost went crazy because I listened the song almost continuously and with rather high volume. Besides being catchy that song also has nice lyrics, that also are the story behind the drawing. So: "Wake me with the sounds of your heartbeat in silence".

To add one more thing: It took me a long time to finish this. I just didn't draw the leg for the black shirted boy. It still isn't good. I just couldn't redo it anymore...

Aaa.... Then I'm also jealous to that pic. X) I wouldn't mind having that kind of long-haired guy who held me that way.

Oh, laziness... I haven't written anything here for over two months. I really can't figure out why. At least it's not because I wouldn't have anything to say. Then when I finally get myself here I'd like to make the last couple of months fit into a few sentences. Whatever...

Right now I'm on a holiday. We have a week free from school every autumn and that week I'm going to spend on eating, sitting in front of a computer, drawing, photographing and sleeping. And while doing those I'm of course listening to music. It would be impossible to try to make me stop it. All this is will happen without feeling guilty, because at the end of last week I started to dream about Swedish listening comprehensions...

When listening to music, I've noticed that the more I listen to "serious" music the more I laugh to a happyhappy-song when I eventually listen to one. :D At the moment Sonata Arctica's Days of Grays is the album I'm listening to most often. At first I really waited for it and now it seems I'm trying to learn all the songs by heart as soon as possible. You can pick any of the songs on the album and it's a bull's eye. If I had to choose one of the songs, I'd take two: Everything Fades to Gray and Deathaura. Another band I've been listening to a lot is Pain. All I can say is that also Swedish people really make it sometimes. X) Thanks to the one who recommended me Pain.

Then I have to be a salesman for a moment: some time ago I got hooked to Mehida as well. It was "love at first listening". At the end of random surfing in the internet I ended up finding out what this band was (mostly because the keyboard player of Mehida is the former keyboard player of Sonata Arctica) and I liked Wings of Dove so much that I listened to the other songs and asked if it was possible to get the album. I got it.

After a long time I've written something. My computer's keyboard has been in use whenever I've had the time and ispiration. In fact I've, erm, arranged everything so that I have time if I wanted to write. I think I could write something soon. This has been a nice warm-up for my fingers.

Now when I don't feel like trying to remember what I've done the last few motnths I'll tell you what I'd like to do in the near future. Because that trip to Kemi, also mentioned in the previous text, was so awesome I've been drooling because of an opportunity to do it again in Oulu. The tickets will be on sale....tomorrow. Eeks. I need to ask for a permission to go there.
