About Me

I love swapping ATCs...what a wonderful way to get yourself out there! I love drawing and painting, but lack imagination...I'm hoping that creating ATCs will help me grow it so I can draw from my mind vs from pictures.
I usually do not send extras - sometimes I will if I remember to, but I started to when I began swap-bot and it got to be too expensive. I believe hearts should be earned by the effort you put into the art.

Favorite Music

Erykah Badu and Pink top my charts right now...Beyonce, Chris Cornell, The Offspring and Mariah Carey are list-toppers as well. All different types - hip-hop (I think the 80s hip-hop/R&B is still great!), rap, rock, heavy rock (All That Remains, As I Lay Dying, etc.), alternative, ragtime, jazz, blues

Favorite Books

Any Janet Evanovich book! Also love self-help/inspirational readings

Favorite Movies

Set It Off, Mr & Mrs Smith, Hitch, Legally Blonde, Rockstar

Favorite Television

LA Ink, Grey's Anatomy, America's Next Top Model, Ace of Cakes, Candy Girls (my dose of drama that all girls need...I prefer mine on TV)

Favorite Crafts

I love pretty much any craft. I love artistic anything, really, that's creative and makes you think or just moves you. I like to recieve ATCs/crafts that are inspiring and different than the usual - something that makes me have to do research and educate myself to fully understand the meaning or the value in the card you've created.

Likes...

  • Tattoo art
  • Animated girl/woman art - clothed (i.e. pin-up girls or models from any era)
  • Inspriational words/phrases
  • Any color - I love them all!
  • Buddhism, zen-like images
  • Psychic abilities (i.e. tarot, horoscopes)
  • Dark, halloween-y art
  • Erykah Badu anything
  • Etsy.com! =)
  • I'm a huge fan of silly little dorky play-on-words humor mixed with art/pictures.
  • ANYTHING CREATIVE!!!

Dislikes...

LACK OF CREATIVITY!!! Take pride in what you're sending - an ATC is to create and send a piece of you - and art - to someone else. Why would you represent yourself with only stickers? ALSO! If you join a swap, you should know there are unwritten rules in each posted swap (i.e. POSTAGE costs) and they need to be respected in order for me to rate you well. I LOVE to give 5s, but it's not fair to others if you cut corners.

Comment: Thanks for the ATCs. Just a hint for next time though... you might want to write what swap it is on the envelope so I don't have to hunt down which one it is.

Comment: A great card. Thanks for taking the time to match it to things from my profile, and the notes on how you created it.
Response: I'm glad you like it. You have very good taste - I wanted to use a textured background but all I could come up with was the brown, burned background. I wish I had had more time to experiment!
