New Youtube Account

I have created a whole new youtube account. I believe starting a new one will create new opportunities, plus for all my old embarrassing videos will be put to the past. This is more about the me now, Paige the Art Student! Though old habits never die, of course I will talk about anime conventions and cosplay!

So subscribe to it! Keep a look at all my creations! And what anime stuff I will be doing!

Though it will be similar to this blog, it's just a different approach!

This is my Wonderland.

Chibi Usa...



When I was in elementary school my first anime was Sailor Moon. My friend who was like an older sister to me introduced it to me and it literally became a weekly ritual to watch. When I had hard times the show really helped me make it through a bad week.
Not only did I watch it, my friend created a fan fiction of Sailor Moon combined with Pokemon. Myself, her and her friends became the sailor scouts/princess of the planets. In my head this was my life.
I have always been an odd one, and always wanted to belong to another world.
I looked up to the Sailor Scouts and my friend.
The character though who I loved and connected with Chibi Usa or the english name Rini.
Pink was my favorite color and she was the youngest of everyone. I was the youngest in the fan fiction.

And I find out now as I have met other Sailor Moon fanatics most of them really didn't like her. I found it really weird, but everyone has their own opinion.

I found this youtube video, it is a very sad AMV (Anime Music Video) of no one caring for Chibi Usa. A lot of my childhood I felt this way so this brought up many memories. So I dedicate this blog to Chibi Usa (yes, an anime character), Sailor Moon, my childhood and my friend CJ.
This is what truly saved me!

I hope to cosplay her in her evil form and maybe an older version of her.

Morning...



This is my fine beautiful morning.

I might not be feeling so great, but as I was on my way to the lady's room I turned around for a second and noticed this majestic view of my dorm room. It's messy, but it looked perfect for a shot! Especially with the lighting!

A better video...

I realized I have iMovie maker!!! So this one will be a lot better! Enjoy!


This song is not mine!!! It's by the singer Kerli.
What the painting is based off of!!!

It's still a work on progresss!!! No judging right now...
And my teacher said we can't do actual objects!! I swear!!

Video to my painting...


I did the first part of my painting today. Now just waiting for it to dry a little before I add more layers to it.

I decided to record myself doing it... I am hoping to find a program that will actually let me play music to it, but for now here is what I've got!



and here is the photo of the first round!

This fine beautiful morning...



It's another beautiful day in the city and I have another mini migraine! Oh the joy! I decided to make a lovely photo of myself describing how I felt!
How I did this:
First I took this photo with my application Photo Booth.
Then brought it into Iphoto where I tweaked it around with brightness, color, and blurred the background.
Then I downloaded it to this amazing website called http://www.Puricut.com where I added some random icons to express the stress and annoying headache.
After I finished I downloaded the finished image onto my desktop.
I reopened it in CS4 Photoshop where I resized it to a larger size that didn't make it to pixilated.
And tada!!

I hope the pain will go away. I have many things to do today!

I need to start on painting homework, but I need to go to the art store to get blue and white paint.

My homework is expressing a painting through a song. And not to use specific objects in the painting. There can be shapes though (like circles, squares, triangles, etc...). The song I am going to base it off of is "Walking On Air" by Kerli

There's a little creepy house
In a little creepy place
Little creepy town
In a little creepy world
Little creepy girl
With her little creepy face
Saying funny things that you have never heard

Do you know what it's all about
Are you brave enough to figure out
Know that you could set your world on fire
If you are strong enough to leave your doubts

Feel it
Breathe it
Believe it
And you'll be walking on air
Go try
Go fly
So high
And you'll be walking on air
You feel this
unless you kill me
Go on
And you're forgiven
I knew that
I could feel that
I feel like
I am walking on air

She has a little creepy cat
And a little creepy bat
Little rocking chair and an old blue hat
That little creepy girl
Oh she loves to sing
She has a little gift
An amazing thing
With her little funny eyes of hazel
With her little funny old blue hat
She will go and set the world on fire
No one ever thought she could do that

Feel it
Breathe it
Believe it
And you'll be walking on air
Go try
Go fly
So high
And you'll be walking on air

You feel this
unless you kill me
Go on
And you're forgiven
I knew that
I could feel that
I feel like
I am walking on air

Flitter up
and Hover down
Be all around
Be all around

You know that I love you, go on

Feel it
Breathe it
Believe it
And you'll be walking on air
Go try
Go fly
So high
And you'll be walking on air
You feel this
unless you kill this
Go on
And you're forgiven
I knew that
I could feel that
I feel like
I am walking on air

I am walking on air x3

I have many ideas so far for the project! I can't wait to start... now if this head ache would go away!!! T.T

What's happening so far with my painting...

So I have been working on my identity project in my painting class. Sadly I have been sick lately and have either been late or absent a couple of times. So I have been coming in on the weekend, which I will need to do this weekend >.<

Here is what I have so far! Don't worry, some of the things I will need to do won't be too complicated...





The first one was my water color of what's going on outside of the tea house through a round window.
Then I have created a door, the wood frame is oil paint and the ominous male figure is made of acrylic.
I will be putting over it japanese paper for the door paper. I need to make the male figure darker though so it's more visible.
I also have painted the mat floor with oil paint.

The most complicated part will be painting the outfit of the male, japanese version of me, plus placing the photograph photo of my face. I can't wait!! I will be cranking the completion of this project this weekend!!

Wish me luck!!
