Randomness

Looks like I died again and no excuse for that this time, so I'll put in some random links that I liked recently :]

A friend named Agniya showed me a really neat Russian Calendar. Agniya is cool, she once found something for an old update of mine. <3 I went to visit her and a few people in London last week btw. :]

Then there's Flickr.com again, because I like that site the most now. I found a group where people make and post songcharts. Just click and see for yourself :]

Also, Blogspot is full of wee gems as well. So I'll show you two of them today:
- I Took Photos
- Photoshop Disasters
no explanations needed I guess? :]

And, finally, something that's not kawaii for once :D

Thank you for reading, I hope the next entry will come sooner than this one did :D

Badges

I've always wanted to make an entry about badges because I happen to have a slight obsession with them :]]

First of all, you will love Prickie.com as much as I do or maybe more, because there are tons of awesome badges + links to the artist sites and such. It makes me want to have a credit card so I could order them goods, but it also makes me not to want it because it'd be too hard to choose and I'd end up spending all of my money on those :D

Another good place is the Badge Review blog that's updated daily and has a huge list of links to other badge related stores/sites.

And I've got addicted to Flickr, so I've also found a nice group dedicated to badges. You can post your collections there :]

I have outdone myself

By not updating for ages! Thought I'd at least make a [probably] last entry for the year 2007 and... try to be better in 2008? I am working on the update now, but I am not too sure about the 'being better part, sorry :D

I have decided that I don't really like DeviantArt anymore as it's over-crowded with either crap or the 'popular' artists have all started to look alike and that's kind of bothering. Of course, there're still people that I go there for, but not as much as there used to be :< So, if I want something really good, I go to our wee Blogspot, my current favourite of EVER Flickr or artist portfolios, but let's stay with those two goldmines for now, um? :]

Blogspot:
Kris.likes.to.draw - good style
Faitetrit - A French artist
Matte Stephens - Birds and other lovely creatures
No-eye-candy-here - A fellow Lithuanian
Mistake by Kuanth - Look at those things!
Armina - monsters and there was something else

Flickr:
Magelis - my happy forest friend <33 You can see a lot of me in there :D
Dzian-dzian - Milda is cool, I know her in person and I am not ashamed to brag about it!
Cinamonas - I met him once :D A photographer for this one Lithuanian magazine called Pravda and, yeah, I forgot to be humble again :D
Fotoaparatas - Another Lithuanian with his amazing photographs. I have recentlly found out that I've got a weakness for tiny flowers.
Lastleaf - I especially like the older works
Eat your carrots - Aaaahh! Can't get enough of it, I think you can find them @ Blogspot as well.
Malota - aaaaaaaaaaaah!!
Senioritapolyester - Where do they come from? ;_;
Himnôfeda - Good style *pats*
Greentheory - I like them :]

Ah, enough for now! Let me flee~

I nearly skipped a month.

I kind of forgot this place existed :D Haha, I hope I haven't lost my... three? readers yet!

So, since we're drawing skulls in uni, I was browsing around for examples to study and found Skull-A-Day. Skulls seem to be trendy nowadays.

Then I found some polaroids by Grant Hamilton along the way. These are cool, it's an interesting approach to photography in general <3

And now I make my exit, because that is all I have for now. Do not fret, though, I'll try to make a second entry before the month expires!

Start Drawing

Startdrawing.org is a website dedicated to Asian artists. You can choose prefered categories and/or countries as well as browse around other useful links provided by the site. I can't get enough of it at the moment :)

Pimp pimp pimp

Today I am pimping out two Lithuanian blogs for ye.

The first one is called DIY-shirt and the name's pretty self-explanatory. The owner of the blog looked like female-Jesus for three days. I saw it with my own eyes.

The second one is 1979. This time it's a lad and he posts numbers and pictures. It's pretty interesting, but I wish he'd update more often.

The Art of Music

Ah, this update's all Flickr again! Ah well, it's got good shizz and I am forcing it all on to you :D This time I dug up some groups that contain flyers, posters and everything music-related.


Rave Flyer


Old School Punk Flyers ('68 - '00)

Stripper Polaroids

And right underneath this photo, there's a comment that explains it all to us:
"This photo came from a collection of over 400 Polaroid photos of strippers trying out for dancing jobs at a So. Cal club. They were taken from the late 1960's thru the early 1970's. I bought the entire collection for $10."

Everything was stylish back then, even the strippers. Of course, there are some pictures that I wouldn't have included in the collection, but then it'd be too perfect and thus - no fun. So, come forth, the Stripper Polaroids @ Flickr.

Supernatural Lifeforms

It's Summer! Just look how good today's date looks in This Day in Type. It's a neat site, they've got a different looking type for every day. You can also submit something of your own.

Also, if you're nosy and like to read other people's confessions, you should got to Penance.us where people write their sins (in 7 main categories). You can add your own too.

Today's entry's got a little something to do with the outter planets as well. See Planet Detrus. I'm not a fan of flash sites, but this one I couldn't imagine done in HTML.

Finally, the last link leads to Felix Heinen's posters. I would really like to see them in full size.

I've got things to show

I was told to update :D Luckily I had a few things ready :)

So, the person who told me to update is named Agne and Agne once got a link from Agniya and it was a Flickr gallery of a theatre squat in London. It's quite amazing with 30+ people living in it.

Also, I had my art project's presentation on the 11th. It's for the art's exam, the creative part. I did a calendar of 2008 and the reason I am bringing this up is because I've found a really neat calendar out there. Mine was Zodiac signs travelling througth the months, but this one blew me away. I never imagined that you can get this original with a simple calendar.

Another nifty thing is The Baby Name Wizard. 1900 was the year when my name reached its popularity peak :D
