Feature And Infected By Art ContestEdit: The voting for the Infected by Art Contest has been extended until March 9th. I also wanted to include the link to my current eBay auctions
http://www.ebay.com/sch/illyria_731/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=25&_trksid

3686 . I have several originals and prints to bid on. I plan on putting together another feature as soon as I get around to commenting more on the artwork in my inbox. I'm considering doing a print giveaway and wanted to try and get suggestions for the best way to do it as well. I've seen many different print giveaway on Facebook where you have to like and share the page which I like the idea of. I'm uncertain on what would be the fairest way to pick a winner, so if anyone can help me out, let me know

I've been very busy lately and haven't had much spare time to be on here, but I am slowly working on catching up. I have several stacks of artwork I am saving for when I have enough time to properly look them over and comment. I've really missed being on the

Success! :D... on many levels!
Hey, dear watchers

I'm really happy right now for various reasons...
- I passed my intermediate exam with 94 out of 100 points, which is an A! I wanted to get something between 90 and 98 points so it's all fine

The exam had a written and an oral part and I scored 98 out of 100 in the written one - best result!

- My newest deviation, Vivid (http://fav.me/d4rsqnc) has been up for two days and already got 45 faves, which is quite good as I usually get 15-20 faves per photo.
- I just ordered a Tamron 70-300mm lens *omgexcited* It will be a birthday present partly, though I'll pay most of it myself as it's quite expensive (for me, that is... I know it's nowhere near a really expensive lens.) It should arrive tomorrow, so I guess my mom and I will go for a walk so I can test it shooting our dog

- FINALLY SPRING! Luckily, we didn't have that much of a winter this year (bad for everyone who likes snow, but I work outside, so much snow and really freezing = b

Cats that look like my cat ;)At the last time I noticed that there are more and more people who just almost the same cat as I have. So beautiful fluffy.
The character is quite different. They are quiet and serene. just like real kings. Sometimes they forget their art to be quiet, crazy and jump around crazy.
Here I would like to show you some cat pictures that look from my cat looks like. Hope you enjoy the mounting.
If you've seen more of this kind here on deviantArt, which look like my cat, then she shows me a note and I will continue this journal.
Thanks so much!!

Here is my cat:

And here the other fluffy cats:

Wild, Wonderful World #2 + Steve Jobs

Journal Entry: Fri Jun 29, 2012, 12:06 PM

I want to share with you some amazing and inspiring photographers to me that have managed to capture nature essence wonderfully, enjoy and support them!

Listen what Steve Jobs have to say, probably you've already seen it but I hope you don't mind.

Pau Gasol:

The history was that White Wagtails decided to build a nest on our flower pot and I decided to make a timelapse about it.
We had the chance to observe small details of nature's wisdom and I think it's one of the most beautiful, funniest and coolest shows in the world. As can be seen they almost exterminated all insects in the area, grasshoppers, butterflies, beetles, ants, hornets... are now in their bellies. Really, they were like black holes, at times I feared for the mother's life. Finally, all of them left the nest as "successful" flying birds
From the egg to little punk rockstars and beyond!

Take care!
