The Nostalgia Show

On February 21, Natalia and Elgin rounded up a bunch of Chicago artists to create pieces based off our favourite childhood cartoons and also video games for the Nostalgia Show.
It was great looking at pieces that the other artists did, and great to be in an environment literally bursting with creativity! The place was packed!!

Shintendo and Vagabond from The Terra Gods, Elephant Rebellion, and WestSide School for the Desperate had AMAZING hip hop and poetry performances throughout the night. I never knew that DragonBall Z and also random video games from my childhood could be made into poetry!

Art Post

3portraits and 1ink drawing:
Mana(Malice Mizer；watercolour),Hidenori(20 yrs ago;watercolour,present), Julie(chalk pastels,present) ,and a character i made up.



Some time ago,before studying and lack of sleep, I had this rush come over me.
I want to work even harder to get to my goals.
I want to go somewhere out of the USA;Japan,London,Norway,etc.
And also become an artist as well.
Not one of those artists where you look at their work and go " THIS is art?" and the only reason why they are famous is because they just have connections and/or money.
Ive been looking at my options and trying to see what will work the best for me; teaching/studying/working in Japan just to be able to get there,etc.

Also,Im even going to make a new blog JUST for my art and made things....or should i just have them posted here since I already have a nice follower base?? :x hrmmmm
Still on the topic of art, I LOVE seeing people's faces when i give them a portrait of them, or when they see it the first time.
Like when I showed Julie the portrait that i was working on. She was quiet! I thought she thought of me as a freak for using her photo w/out permission, or that it was ugly lol. But she loved it. C:
Or when I sent my honey a phone pic of the portrait i did for watercolour practice purposes, he was too happy! The piece now sits in his apartment ♥
I just have to get better,stay motivated,and get more materials too.
