Hello everyone - I'm so dreadfully sick (the fever, cough, and the flu has caught me off gaurd), but I wanted to share something with you that most of you will [hopefully] find amusing.

Well, my mom owns her own hair/tanning salon, and she has a new client. His name is Nader, and he's from Persia. X D I've met him, and he's such a sweetheart - I couldn't help but think of all of you!

As well, I have a free choice of doing anything for my art class this semester/term, and I'm really stuck on what to do. I really admire 's inkwork, and was thinking of pushing my inking skills that way, or I was thinking of designing period costumes for my favorite historical novels/or make 'new' clothes with a historical flare. But I'm not really sure. I would be most obliged if anyone could give me some suggestions.



TTFN,

~ MR

Wow. Summer is actually ending.

However much I dislike the beach, it was a tad depressing going there for the last time yesterday. Some of the trees there already started to change color, but the temperature was still nice. School starts this Thursday, piano this Wednesday...everything goes back to the grind. Unnngh.

Annoyingly enough, I FINALLY have inspiration to draw - right before school starts! ARRRGH. Nothing for the majority of the summer, and now - BOOM. Ideas hit me from all sides, and I don't know what to do first.

Well, in any case, my account here should be updated soon. Especially with the art trades I have on the go.





More soon,

MR

Wow, I am very touched by how many of you stopped by my journal to post an offering of inspiration, or suggest art trades. Thank you so much, everyone who cared! My muses have returned!

Sims are hillarious and awesome. (And mazes of potted rubber plants! ) I can't seem to find the link to the Erik Sims someone posted on here a while back - would one be so kind as to help me re-locate it?

Needless to say, art trades are now officially CLOSED, seeing as how I have tons of them to draw. <3

Hope everyone enjoys that last little sip of summer break!






Love you all,

MR

Wow. I'm actually experiencing an artist's block. I have not had one of these for a VERY long time. Although, I have heard that this infliction has become contagious this summer; as some of you, my very own devART friends, are experiencing it as well.

I think it goes without saying that this is partially due to my music history exam which I wrote on the 5th of this month. I had to study my brains out for this 3-hour exam, and did not have time for much else other than what was necessary. The saddest part is that it has seemed to dull my obsession with Phantom, which I was really still high on, and was continuing to enjoy the ride.

I have been reading some vampire and Mozart novels, and am awaiting a tres amusant Polish Chopin movie. However, this seems to be not enough to inspire me.

So, my dear friends, I humbly ask you to bestow any inspiration upon me, either by suggesting/requesting/art-trading Phantom, composer, or vampire-related art. As you may have noticed, I have not updated my art since July 6th. This is plain pathetic, people. Please help me out. I'm desperate for new art; my hand wants to draw, but my mind cannot conjure anything substantial.



Your hopeful servant,

~ MR
