I apologise at being terrible with blog homework, I only write what actually entices me for you all to enjoy so hopefully that makes up for it! We have many friends or good repeated acquaintances we communicate with everyday, some whom we have never really meet before in real-life interactions but still consider them a close individual in many ways. So "who are your internet BFFs that you would like to meet in person?" you asked @missy, @rambo, and @lyxzen...welp, here you are:
First person comes to mind is another artist on that I follow on instagram whom is also a member here in the SG community, is @fatmoth! He lives in northern California, a bit further than myself, but I have followed him for a couple years and watched his art work grow and develop even further than what brillance began posting with. I cannot state we are totally "BFFs" but he is an amazing artist and rad individual that I hope to meet in person one day-especially of the fact we live in the same state! Hehe. Please check out his work if you have not already in this thread here along with his instagram here. He digitally illustrates many SG's here and I am lucky enough to have been surprised to have one of myself done by him/them!
Must say I am still honoured! Referrance taken from my debut set "This Old Chair" (still in member review!!) by @azera. Thank you again, @fatmoth :)
Another person that comes to mind, whom is not on here but does reference the beginning of the new aged SG's for his artwork, is a neat being called Preston aka pdudes_art! He is one of my closer artist mates on instagram that I have followed and interacted with for a few years as of now. Watching him also grow as an artist has been rewarding, and his support for my art as well-seeing that we are both self taught artist (no form of school training). He lives in Utah, has a little lady that is his world and works full-time during the day to at night pushing him self to create art late into the evening all to better himself as an artist, father, and individual. He has developed his technique so much! And he has always made me laugh and be proud of him for his accomplishments both as an artist and individual through tough times and good stories that I have been lucky enough to apart of the ones he has shared with. Here is one of my favourites by him that his did not use any specific photo reference for but rather made up this image placement in his mind and put it to parchment of the lovely @radeo:
How beautiful is that?!!
Now for quite a bit of ladies that I would love and hope to meet one day! These ladies I have watched them from hopefuls to SG's or just interacting with them through SG/Instagram and they inspire my self to continue my journey as a to becoming an official SucideGirl. One of them is @zephi! She is such a gentle soul but with a kickass additude, I just want to hangout with her, have her play with my hair however she would like, draw with her and then spend all night playing mario kart with her. I remembering ordering prints for her birthday two years ago? to help fund her travelling and I still have those prints posted on my wall of her in a cape with her blonde hair showing off her space shuttle tattoo (which has significance to her birthday specifically if I recall correctly!) She left such a sweet note wrapped delicately, it was so thoughtful and a cherish her as a person to this day. She also helped inspire one of my art pieces titled "Stardust", 2014:
9" x 12" bristol vellum parchment with oils and graphite.
Other lady that I really, really hope to meet one day is another talented artist along with being a SuicideGirl, @orion! She is also a total sweetheart as she is stunning, inside and out. She has been nothing but sweet and sincere along with sharing her art with us all every now in then has been much appreciated not just from a artist level myself but as a human because her figure drawing as so soft and delicate I cannot help but be happy for her! For valentine's last year, a few of us girls sent valentine's to one another and she was one of them. I have her card that was a black and white photo with a little inscription of being thankful and to always keep being myself-I still cherish that little note to this day along with the instax she sent with it. Such a beautiful soul you are lady!! Here is an image of her art piece of @helix_:
Again, @orion is both beautiful inside and out, a gentle soul, and a talented artist. Such inspiration from her!
A couple other girls that I could go for days on end of how perfect they are and still have something to follow up upon them individually and this will be a forever love rambling blog-which is not entirely a bad thing :) are these lovely women: @dutch, @moon, @nixie, @kiley, @ramen, @stormyent, @sabbbre, @knox_, @sagira, @orphan_, @emerie, @dismantledart, @synatra and the names can go continuously...I am just grate for all these individuals and more for allowing me into their lives, even if it only through communication of technological devices.
And I hope to meet all the members of the site whom have watched and supported my journey here into becoming an official SuicideGirl like, just to name a few, @littlejohn22 , @_tombstone_, @damian_stark, @emanuel, @miss_babette, @midnightrider454 and so many of you wonderful beings! Your strength and admiration never ceases to amaze me and I do not just want to be an SG for myself ultimately but I want to become one also for you all whom have had faith in me for such time and still continue to do so. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart, you all are amazing <3
When I am not here, you can always find me on instagram, twitter, facebook, or site. Also! Only a couple weeks away from my next set hitting member review titled "Latte A Casa" photographed by my dear @cdo hopefully hitting between August 6th or 8th! For the meantime, my other two sets are still available for viewing here.
Love you all xx
