Made a video again :P...another fake Parashi Opening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGa8pPlOxuQ
It's really choppy and suuuuuper scribbly because I took like 30 seconds to draw each frame. Please fill in the gaps and gloss over the art with your wonderful imagination! I made it in Windows Movie Maker which is an absolutely evil program =o=
I'll try to fix up the ugly pictures and maybe add some color when I have time, and reupload another version later :b (don't know when though.) For now feel free to watch this one and laugh at it huhuhu

Eurovision nightGot myself some ice cream and will be making myself compfy on the sofa so I'm ready for the big, glittery, horrible music, camp, pointless politics, drama that is eurovision. It never disappoints me.

Sadly I will be alone for this one. Matt had to do a concert he didn't want to do, so I will be live tweeting (humonlazydiva) my impression of the whole shebang.

The Echo chamber dilemmaThe promise of the Internet was that unlimited information and experiences would draw us together. But instead it seems to have driven us apart.
For years I've observed this behavior but haven't been able to vocalize it correctly. Originally I called the behavior of collective opinions as "the hive mentality" of the Internet. But that wasn't exactly right and I often got called out on it. The most prominent example was when I made a comic about a guy disagreeing with opinions and being shouted at till he remained quiet, eventually fading into the background with everyone else. The consensus of that comic was that if you disagree with someone you aren't bullied into not speaking, but instead are free to go someplace else where people who do agree with you exist. And you know what? That wasn't what i was trying to convey, but is sadly true. The Internet is not a hive mind. It's many tiny pocket echo chambers of mutual agreements.
And this is becoming a growing problem, I think, because n

Back from Vacation - Fave-and-run!

Tue Apr 12, 2011, 10:43 AM

Mood: Lazy
Listening to: Debussy
Reading: Graham-Dixon. A History of British Art
Watching: My exploding in-boxes
Eating: Chinese take-out
Drinking: Green tea

Just a few recent landscape faves that I love. Hope you enjoy!

:thumb202896991:

Sorry for my silence these past few days - I was actually on vacation visiting my own family in Germany and my husband's family in England. We spent a few lovely days away from home enjoying some seriously gorgeous spring weather. Even the fact that I had no internet access only proved hard to bear for the first two days or so - must be the withdrawal symptoms. After that I didn't miss it as badly as I'd thought. I guess it's good to find out from time to time if you can still do without!

Of course the down-side of all this is the crazy watch-list I now have going on here on DA. 4900+ pieces of art to watch and nearly 250 journal entries. So I am waving the white flag right now and surrender! I will answer all comments and as usual thank for multiple faves or for additions to someone's watchlist, but otherwise I will commit the dreaded fave-and-run and only leave comments when I really cannot shut up about something I see.

On the art front it's the same-old, same-old. I have a few more bead-pieces in the works and am busy enameling a few more silver shapes which I can hopefully post here in a few days. I am also busy on some more lizard drawings and am hoping for some scrumptious pre-Deathly Hallows II footage for more HP art...

* If you ask me to make artwork available as a print, please check if it uses copyrighted material. DA will not take print submissions that are based on such materials. This means, no prints of drawings based on movies or TV shows like the Harry Potter Movies, Brokeback Mountain, CSI etc. If you want a drawing as a print please note me instead.

Commission status: open

did a great interview with me. [link]

Ohh, hope you had a great holiday, Elly. Germany is a place I'd like to visit at some stage. Very much like to see the country side actually.

have a good one..

*Ellygator May 4, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

Oh, let me know when you're getting ready for that. I sure will have some nice tips, old quaint little towns and villages, castles, the lot!

*Riabhach Apr 14, 2011 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

Glad you had a great trip - i don't know that I could go that long without internet!! hahaha. Don't drown in the 4900+!

*Ellygator Apr 19, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

I know, it's tough, at least for the first few days. I did have my phone with me, so I could at least see if I was missing any important emails (work and such...)

~velvetsnape Apr 13, 2011

I went to Paris on '07 for Spring Break. It was either Cancun with a bunch of drunken teenagers, most of whom I can stand even when they're sober, or France...Hmm...lol. I realized that I was only a about 5 hours from Solingen, Germany, where my friend Vanessa lives. Too bad she was back in Michigan (where I grew up/went to school) as an exchange student...lol. I've been dying to go and as soon as I can afford it, I'm going to set $10 a week aside or more to save up for a trip there. I'm only the 6th generation born over here from Germany and my pioneering ancestor was in the Civil War...We have kids late, lol. Hope your trip was fantastisch and jolly good!

*Ellygator Apr 19, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

That's one cool story! I do hope you are able to visit your friend. I think nothing is quite like seeing a country when someone shows you around who lives there. You get so much more than the average tourist who stays to the usual landmarks... As for your France trip - smart move! I would have done the same! Hope you enjoyed Paris.

My own vacation was really beautiful - we had awesome spring weather, and seeing family is always a good thing. My niece and nephews are growing like weeds...

~LightDrop Apr 13, 2011 Digital Artist

Hast du ja mal gutes Wetter erwischt! Jetzt ist's wieder saukalt...

*Ellygator Apr 19, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

Ja, es fing schon in Heathrow an zu regnen als wir im Flieger aufs Rollfeld fuhren. Wir hatten echt Glueck. Hoffe, bei euch erholt sich der Fruehling wieder.

Hier in USA hat es eine Menge Leute mit Tornados erwischt - immer ein Problem im Fuehling und Fruehsommer, aber in Texas war nicht so viel los.

~LightDrop Apr 19, 2011 Digital Artist

Ja, der Frühling ist wieder auf dem Vormarsch; momentan hat's 23,6°C vor meinem Küchenfenster (16:30 MEZ, Südseite)
Ja, blöd mit den Tornados; hier sind sie ja mittlerweile auch vertreten, wenn auch Gott sei Dank nicht in dem Maße wie in den US.
Hoffe, du hast dich gut erholt!^^
