tablet doodle, bout 30 mins.
I am seriously again eyeing tablets that have digital erasers on the pen. Switching back and forth is seriously frustrating…
Novel image, I plan to hold all the novel illustrations in a similar stile.

Its getting harder and harder day by day, the depressing fact is that you find them on the “most powerful” places. And they are more hardheaded EVERY TIME.
The first time when they hacked my head for fantasy it was my teacher at art school. This time it was 2 teachers at “high school” for art education.

I gave them 3 portfolios, of which one was the animations with fantasy elements, horses with horns, winged beings.
They thought that because of that I would force all my students to forever do fantasy until they turn gray and old.
They got this idea out of the blue. Even if in my biographie description I told (in a metapher): I see myself as an explorer that wrote a map of the places I explore(d). I am here to tell the students what terrain they are to expect, what basics they may have to bring along in equipment. Their goal is theirs to chose, I will accompany and be their counsil. There will be white spots on the map that they can explore and find themselves.

This is narrowminded, they say, apparently it also says that 99% of my lessons will be one and purely fantasy. ANd they are convinced that kids will be bored if I do more than 3 fantasy lessons. Dreams and surrealism are boring fantasy too. The very “childs play” (when kids play with dolls or portray themselves as grown ups in play) is all of the same not so good fantasy medium.

and the best of all was, it was a friggin application interview. So all I could do was friendly counterremarks with a smile. A “use a big spoon to scope out the tomatoes from your eyes” would have been more adequate but not possible in an interview.
So
results are due tomorrow.

if they dont want me I want it black on white. And if I see one f***ing fantasy word in that paper I will
bring
them
to
court.

Portugal? when? wow!
I want holidays too! Man, you lucky girl!
eh, its not yet 3/4 years ago since we’ve had a reallife chat(our lenghties record for living like… 20miles away of each other) so things will be fine 🙂 Just drop me a line when you’re back, kay? Did you study the book in detail yet? I’ll try to have Katturan Odyssee for you next time 🙂

take care and bella vacanze!

edit:
one more, this guy is more than an artistic inspiration to me, he helps me a lot through this battle thing…
Whenever I read this (I do so almost daily, as its on my desk) I am reminded that these words were written down for me to give me strenght and that they come from none less than the perhaps most famous Swiss fantasy artist, someone who was part of the biggest fantasy movie trilogie made up to date.
And there is so much truth in them.

let the battle begin

[Akeyla]

they’re at it again.
if it werent 21st century I bet they’d light torches, get forks and go for the “oh lets burn all fantasy artists!” hunt

[Akeyla]

not really. We’d walk home 🙂 or later when we were older take the bike.

[Akeyla]

hmmm… maybe this is my mistake. Where I live you go home for lunch. The concept of staying at school from 8-5 (more or less) is unknown. So, yes, 8am-3 pm is “all-day school” 🙂

[Akeyla]

yes! thank you so much!

[Akeyla]

hello fellow dragons 🙂
uhn, I currently have a school project bout the so called free-time at school. We are to work with local schools and plan artistic projects for the kids at all-day schools. Part of this project is analizing the whole theme, and my part is to ask other students/parents, especially oversea ones. If you were at an all day school, you have kids going to it or you have any experience related with it you wish to share, please go here:
http://akeyla.livejournal.com/640861.html

I am thankful for every reply, may it even be just one of the many questions. For all further details, please read the details there.
For the effort I was thinking to gift the lenghtiest/multiplest replyers with prints, but its still in the idea mode.

thanks so much!

PS: I’m still getting rabbies from school here, which is the reason for past silence. I’m not dead, just torn down. I’ll survive. ALthough right now I’d rather love to mutate into Godzilla

I still cant believe I am sewing… impaled my finger now twice, with blood, on the blunt side of the needle. And now my wrist hurts. But slowly slowly things get clearer. Now for more musclestones and then he gets his skin. My boyfriend just soldered his 24 led lights for his spine.

[Akeyla]

engery 🙂 both are cool, but the first one reminds me more of my lava lamp, which somehow makes it “slow” whilest energy lightning is Tzzzappp! and a blast of wind, perfect for mrs(mr?) Buell 😉

Some cute baby…with teeth like that O.O

That is very awesome Akeyla

And I love your sketches 😀 that horse rocks.
Now see, if brothers were nicer to sisters, they’d get a lot more stuff…my brother would love that sketch, but he’s a jerk, so he gets nothing 😈

yeah, he’s got teeth 🙂 but relax, most of his teeth will be hidden under his lips.
*g*
you could still use the nightmare horse to teach niceness to your bro… or would you rather need a zapper for that ? 😉
