I'm not giving up yet!

Hey hey, so I've accepted that I'm going to have to kick my own butt to get into this school and that's fine with me. I've been brain storming and coming up with some awesome pieces to put into my new portfolio ;p. I really need to get into this school...

DAMNNNNN

Excuse the language. So I finally get the scholarship to this college and now I have to RE-APPLY. this also means I'll LOSE my scholarship and all the financial aid i have received and now I'll have to ALSOOOOOO re-apply for that. WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.
I am so frustrated, I haven't been doing really anything artistically and I'm starting to wonder if this is all going to be worth it in the end. But I won't be figuring that out unless I try. So I guess I'm going to have to look at this like a challenge and face it. I HAVE to get into this school.

Ehh

Things are going a little slow. I'm working on a new painting on the bright side. Things kinda seem hard even though I got the scholarship because i still need a lot of money to get it, but it did help a lot. I've been sick this past week and lost my voice! But thank god it's coming back! lol I sounded like the keeper of the crypt. anyway, ( lol ) new artwork up soon.
<3

GREAT NEWS!

TODAY MY MOM GOT A CALL FROM SCAD.....

I GOT THE SCHOLARSHIP!




I'm so happy! I still have money to collect for the rest of my tuition, but I'm on my way! =]

I LOVE ETHAN

So about a week ago I sent my very best lovely friend Ethan a sketch of an awesome girl I drew. He HOOKED IT UP FUR REAL.
check it out...
I was fricken super excited to see this.
Props to my future husband in North Carolina.
haha.
<3

Nervous

So this is it! Today I submitted all my crap to scad and I'm honestly super nervous! I just hope to god everything goes well and I can get that scholarship. I NEED TO GET AN EDJAMACATION.
Stop sitting on my depressed behind and do something with my life... LOL.

AFI SUCKS

NEW NEW NEW! I finally got myself to do some new things again. Anyways I figured out that submitting a blog would be an " Unvaled " Submittion to appeal that scholarship to scad. Well I'm still going to keep this up anyway =]. but these pieces on the blog were included in my portfolio.

"Miss Murder"

(This has absolutely nothing to do with that

stupid played out AFI song. AFI sucks.

If you disagree I don't care, Go read AFI blogs.)

" Winter "

I FINALLY FINISHED HER OMG THIS TOOK MONTHS

"Mi"
Just so you know 'Mi' means beauty in Japanese. The symbol on the
lanterns also means beauty. The mask is a female Japanese theater mask.
these masks tend to represent beauty and youth.The meaning behind it? People
judge you on what's on the outside, whether it be good or bad. You become paralyzed
sometimes by these things thanks to society.

Ok, ok I am a lazy bum...

Nothing productive is going on and I can't help but feel like everything is kinda out of reach. Plus when I get depressed, I can't draw. ( UGHHHHHHHH!) I have to get some Ideas from somewhere...

I am NOT a lazy bum

I feel like i haven't did a post in a few days ( I didn't...) So Here's a random one; Life is insane, My internet sucks, and I have no friends in Florida ( LOL it's actually the truth.). On the good side, My hair looks awesome, Im tan , and Im getting inspired to do some illustrations here soon. Problems aren't solved with going to my college but I guess when one door gets closed another one opens. Im not giving up though. I plan to go through with my dreams and getting into Scad is one of them. I guess slow and steady wins the race. One thing is for sure, I need a fricken job. Money doesn't fall out of my butt and neither do cars ( that would be interesting.). So I guess my first step in me getting out of this crap situation is to FINALLY get my license ( I have my reasons, I'm not a lazy bum.). I feel pretty good today and I feel like I'm starting to get back on my feet. Thank god. Being depressed sucks.

IM AWESOME

So yeah, I got one of my unfinished paintings (that I have posted previously) DONE! Im really happy with the turn out of this one. I put a lot of detail on the eyes to give it a more glassy "doll" look. I think I have progressed a lot since I first started painting with oils and now it's like my all time favorite thing to do. I still have to throw up some illustrations on here and I will. I know I procrastinate but I'm still awesome. ;D

"Apples and Oranges"

10x10 oil on wood

SO HAPPY!

HECK YES! I just finished the painting below. I'd like to call her " Bones " =]. It took me all day to paint and now my hands are sore so I probably won't type too much. But I am very satisfied. Once again Mom's cam. totally sucks... But it still looks fabulous ;D.

" I'm on the pursuit of happiness.."

I know there isn't alot about the artist on here, so Im gonna let you in on some. My name is Danielle, but I prefer to be called Dee. I've moved an ungodly amount of times between Florida and North Carolina. My life hasn't been a piece of cake ( who's ever is?). I finished high school after moving back to North Carolina two and a half years earlier. I basically lived by my self with a friend and her family, before a series of unfortunate events which lead me to live with another friend until I graduated. I graduated and moved back to Florida with my mom only finding out I can't afford my dream college that I was accepted to. This is my last shot. I created this blog so the administrators at my college can review my art work for the SECOND time and maybe god can bless me with the chance the rest of my family has never had. I deserve to have my dreams come true. Everyone does, I guess the point of me writing this is so I can kinda give myself the extra push I need. Everyone has hard times in life, challenges you must over come. It makes you who you are. I believe a lot of things are unavoidable. But you can't ever give up! Im going to be what i want, and like one of my good friends said to me:
" I rather die trying then settle for less."

Im poor

I finally got a picture of the piece I finished yesterday! It's kinda low quality because my mom's camera sucks and Im out of a job right now so I can't buy one. And YES I am going to rant. Idk If I can even get into my dream college at this point. Everything financially sucks right now in America. Maybe one day I can live out my dream as a fashion designer and move to Italy ;]. Speaking of fashion and money, I have to buy a new sketch book to draw my designs in. Poor,Poor Dee.

"Dark Sakura"
11x10 Oil on wood

Old work and stick figures

Well, I got some more things to add here. These pieces are anywhere from 4-8 months old. I don't know if you would really consider this as "Old" but the way I like to look at it is that every new picture is a better one. I think of art as being more of a growing process then a natural born ability. Born with the right stuff to get you interested, only good if you make use to it. That's why art is so promising. you leave art, art doesn't leave you. Ever wonder why some people draw stick figures? It's because you pick up where you left off. those people probably stopped drawing at seven. So YEY to getting better with each piece! Don't GIVE UP ya losers. ;]

"Summer"
12x12 oil on wood


"Autumn"
12x12 oil on wood
"Where rain comes from"
Acrylic on matte board

Unfinished

So I finally decided (thanks to my bff ETHAN'S pressuring and lack of things going anywhere...) to make my first and only art blog. Welcome to the art work of Dee! right now Im kinda working on three pieces at once (as you can see). I'll have the finished product up as soon as I possibly can. Illustrations will be up very, very soon! I'll keep you updated. Who ever you are. ;]
Enjoy it kids.
