Hello my friends,
I've come back to deviant art after another several month long hiatus, and I must say that you all are so sweet. There have been so many wonderful messages and comments, and I'll be trying to reply to all of them within the next few days! I still haven't pumped out any art since getting back from college for the summer (besides covering my notes in doodles), so I'll hopefully try to get something done. I am taking summer classes and currently have a job, though, so I don't really have much time but I'll try my best. I can't thank you people enough for being so supportive and can't wait to see how much you've all improved these past several months!

College

Hello my friends! I am again returning from yet another disappearance. This past year has been absolutely crazy. I am pleased to say, however, that all this hard work has paid off. I'm off to UCLA this fall, majoring in neuroscience. 
There's not much else to say other than that, so I'll get to work on trying to catch up on what I've missed. 
Thanks everyone!

I'm Not Dead!

Hey everybody,
There's been yet another long pause in my involvement on this website.  Don't worry, I haven't stopped painting.  I've just had to drop the ball on certain things for the time being to deal with college apps, orchestra, ballet, etc.  Right now, I'm kinda in the heat of everything (November 30th application deadlines, orchestra winter concert, and the Nutcracker later that same week), but I wanted to check in and see how everybody's been doing.  I'll try to reply to a few comments and maybe even post something before I disappear again.  For all you Americans, happy Thanksgiving, and if there are other holidays happening in the world right now, enjoy those as well. :) I'll try to occasionally check in with you guys to make sure all is well. :)

  1. How long have you been on DeviantArt?

    With this profile, 11 months, but 2 years ago I had another account.  It was before I figured out how to paint, and I forgot the password so...yeah no more of that.

  2. What does your username mean?

    I think it's a little obvious.  I paint in black and white.  I guess I could have been a little more creative.

  3. Describe yourself in three words.

    Peter Pan syndrome

  4. Are you left or right handed?

    Left :D

  5. What was your first deviation?

    Camera by paintedinblackwhite
    This is my first on this account (it's actually my first painting ever).

    As for the other account:
    Scan 122940000 by paintedinblackwhite

  6. What is your favourite type of art to create?

    Paintings

  7. If you could instantly master a different art style, what would it be?

    Digital art

  8. What was your first favourite?Pheonix Knight by Raytardednation

  9. What type of art do you tend to favourite the most?

    Probably traditional art, but I also fav a lot of photography and digital art.

  10. Who is your all-time favourite deviant artist?

    Gaaaahhh such a difficult question!!!! I love all of you guys so much that I simply can't pick a favorite!

  11. If you could meet anyone on DeviantArt in person, who would it be?

    Another difficult one, but probably Aheng711 There are so many others that I want to meet as well though!

  12. How has a fellow deviant impacted your life?

    SketchyBrohoof encouraged me from the very beginning and even gave me my first feature.  He made me feel like my art is actually good and gave me a huge boost in confidence to keep doing what I was doing. :)

  13. What are your preferred tools to create art?

    Paintbrushes and my fingers (that's right, I shamelessly finger paint).

  14. What is the most inspirational place for you to create art?

    In my room where I can cut myself off from the rest of the world.

  15. What is your favourite DeviantArt memory?

    I've had too many!  I really don't know!


    And as a last little tidbit, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEVIANTART!!!  This is such a wonderful idea and I love seeing what other people have to say in these questionnaires.  Have a wonderful day my friends! :D

Hello my beautiful watchers,
    It has been quite some time since I've posted anything.  I've been completely swamped with school work this past few months, and any spare time that I happen to have normally goes to sleeping.  That being said, I have been able to squeeze out a painting here or there, and when I get the time, I'll take some pictures and post them.  The main reason as to why I'm posting this is that I've missed you guys.  I randomly decided to check up on my Deviantart page today and found so many wonderful messages that I've missed.  Anything from Christmas wishes to just saying "Hey."  I'll try to get back to as many of you as possible, but if I happen to skip over you (which I really hope to avoid) I just wanna say thanks.  You have made my day.
    Also, I'm probably going to have a lot of free time this summer, and free time means more paintings that will be collecting dust.  I considered selling them, but I'd rather have the money go to something more important than myself (plus, I'm not exactly professional, so I don't think they'd be worth anything anyway).  I think I'd like to set up an art charity of sorts.  I already have a foundation in mind, but I'm open to other suggestions if you're really passionate about something.  If you wanna get involved, that would be wonderful, because as stated above, my art probably isn't worth much, but with all of our talent combined, I think we could really help some people out.  Comment below if you're interested, and I'll work on setting things up (like a group or webpage or something).  So far it's just an idea, so we'll have to wait and see how this will actually turn out.  I hope you're all doing well and have a fantabulicious day (yes, I had to create a new word).
