Thanks so much to all of you who read the previous post! Man, it was quite long and the doodles just made it longer, but I'm very happy with the positive response on it! I'm not kidding when I say that this positivity gives me more motivation to work on my thesis! Okay, a quick post for now. Do you notice something different ^_^? It's okay...take your time...
*.....an hour later...*
Woohoo! You saw it correctly! I have a new header. The snowy Christmas header was annoying me for quite some time now. So do you like it? I actually wanted to use the drawing below as a header, but I thought it was too crowded. Since I turn most people into chibi's, I thought it would be fun to have me, my sisters and little bro, on a header, but no. It didn't look good. Maybe it is because of the colors I used, or the cupcakes are too big, I don't know. All I know is that I didn't like it. I plan to change my header quite often, but you just have to stay tuned ^_^. Of course if you have any ideas, let me know!
My little bro is always sneaking away with cupcakes, brownies, chocolate chip cookies...pretty much anything I bake ^_^
Well as I promised, this is a short post (sort of hehe). I thought it would be a good thing to do, because my previous post was...well...a bit long. I still owe you the story why I didn't choose an Art study...make sure you have your hot drink and cookies ready!
Ciao!
Ciao!
Tales before Bedtime?
ReplyDeleteSo you have an intention to write a post every night before bedtime?? Nice :))
And you must be kidding. Bcs I don't believe you about drawing this beautiful picture in an hour.
*......an hour later.....*
ZZZzzzzz!*sleeping*
@ Kuday: Pssst...ya still sleeping? *throws some books*
ReplyDeleteHaha! No not really the intention to write every night now...maybe when I'm done with my thesis ^_^...you never know! I don't even know what I will come up with! It's an surprise every time hehe!
Well no it didn't take an hour...it took me 61 minutes hehe. Actually I'm not so sure how it took me. I was working on several other drawings and I read school things on the side.
Thanks so much for stopping by!! Ciao!
Hey! I like your drawings! I'm part Dutch and Indonesian I don't know if you are too but anyway I really like your work!
ReplyDelete@ Andre Medina: Heey Andre! Welcome here and thanks for your lovely comment ^_^!! Well I'm born in Holland, so therefore Dutch, but my parents are not from Holland. I have a post somewhere...where I tell what influences I have haha. Do you speak Dutch? Hope to see you again! I will stop by your blog later! Take care
ReplyDeletehaha, before I read this post I was wondering if the header was new or I just didn't notice it looked like that before.
ReplyDeleteI actually the picture with your siblings in it. But it makes me hungry since I'm trying to cut back on sweets and all :(
Hi TJ! You should look at getting this published into a children's book "Tales before Bedtime" There is a great site www.lulu.com
ReplyDeleteyou should check out. You can upload what you want into your book and they will publish it for you and act like your own store. I think you will be inspired. Talk with you soon!
@ Sensico: Hahahah you see! Another reason why I shouldn't use that as my header. People would visit and be all hungry...and then they maybe would complain that they see all those cupcakes but couldn't eat them...it would've been awful. Besides, I would torture myself as well -_-'. But I do like the drawing too!
ReplyDeleteThe previous header was white and xmas themed ^_^. Ciao!!
@ Cathy: Heey Cathy! How nice to see you again! Thanks so much for the site. I will definitely check it out! I have many stories in my mind already for children stories...next to my already existing stories. My mind simply doesn't stop creating and thinking up stuff.
Hope all is well and talk to you soon! Ciao
Dig the new header. Shouldn't you be working on your thesis? Just kidding. glad you took a break though.
ReplyDeleteHi! i love the new header. 'Tales before bedtime' sounds interesting. Wondering if u gonna write tales for us...:D
ReplyDeleteWaiting to read Y u didn't choose Arts study.
@ Justin: Thanks dude!! And yes, I should be working on my thesis hehehe. But I can't stop drawing! And I guess it's also better for future post if I take a break once in a while. I don't know what will happen...and I'm not sure if I want to find out ^_^. Ciao!
ReplyDelete@ Shas: Hey! Thank you, thank you ^_^! Well I could be starting telling stories...after my thesis is done! Just stay tuned, I think my next post will be about the arts study. Take care!
A small change?? What's not noticeable about the new header?? It jumped out at me! Anyway, great job as usual.. All the best with your thesis!
ReplyDelete@ Liquid & Tunsie: Hahaha! It jumped out at you?! What did it do hehe ^_^. Thanks so much for always stopping by and also for wishing me luck! Ciao!
ReplyDeleteHey TJ--I definitely notice the change--your drawing on your blog's first page has changed (appropriately since the Holidays have passed!). I love the new drawing--likely because one of the happiest times in my childhood was in being read bedtimes stories (and then later reading before bed myself).

I am guessing the one reading the book is you in the second pic...if you ask me I like both..but the header is beautiful...as usual!
ReplyDeleteYou call your drawings doodle..you are just being humble.
If you ever write a book..with doodles in it...I'd buy it for sure.
@ Melinda: Ciao Melinda! Thank you!! I love the new header as well. Especially the colors ^_^. And I love to read! I starting reading by myself at a very young age and I read many books in one week. I usually created a whole scene in my mind, with matching voices etc. and if someone else read it to me, it often didn't fit haha. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDelete@ санжог: Heey! You guessed correctly! I'm the one reading the book. I usually draw myself with my hair down haha.
But yeah doodles, I call them that because they are really quickly drawn and I guess it all depends on what one defines as an illustration. But the word 'doodle' is a fun word ^_^!
Woohoo! A big thank you for your compliment and support if I publish my books! They definitely have some doodles in it! Take care!
Your new header is a warm relief on a cold winter day! I like it. Here on the east coast of the US it's 10 below wind chill. Yikes!!
ReplyDeleteHope you're staying warm TJ!
@ One of the Guys: Hello! Thanks so much ^_^. Aah that's freezing! Here it starts to get colder as well. No snow though, only rain. I'm doing my best to stay warm! Take care & Stay warm as well!
ReplyDeleteGreat header TJ! loving your work as always. Busy times for everyone lol!
ReplyDeleteI realized how difficult it is to operate in the cold. Man its freezing and you would not believe that I am in the Caribbean. Can,t believe it gets so cold at night.
Thanks for adding the button. Got lots of Airbrushing to do. See you!!
@ Mystery Artist: Thank you!! Indeed for a lot of people I know these are busy times. You are in the Caribbean! And it's freezing?! Wow! Try to stay warm too!!
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome! Have fun airbrushing! Talk to you soon!
I stumbled across your blog and love your illustrations. I'll be back for more sweet posts!
ReplyDelete@ My Owl Barn: Hello & welcome! Thanks so much! You can always stroll by whenever you want ^_^. Take care!
ReplyDeleteThe game is already launched you silly woman!!! Its called FISHWORLD on Facebook!! :P
ReplyDelete@ Abz: Whahahahaha! You see! I never play games on FB ;D
ReplyDeleteawesome awesome awesome work!!!! how have you been? drawing awesomely I see!
ReplyDeleteHi TJ,
ReplyDeleteIt is always good to come up with new things every now & then. It just echoes the theme of your blog, "A look in a Creative Mind".
Nice work, TJ.
It is past midnight now & I am listening to Secret Garden by Bruce Springsteen over the air. Still no heart to hit the bed. I don't know what to say about the net. Am I turning into a net junkie or just a plain old lazy guy?
Take care, TJ.
Yes yes yes! new headers are always a must... I was thinking about changing mine! I just need sometime to sit down and do so! Maybeee some time this week! Thanks for the inspiration! ;)
ReplyDelete@ Damion009: Heey Damion! Long time indeed! I'm doing good! Hope all is well on your side too. Haha thanks so much. I can't stop drawing these day, so better use the inspiration I have to create new stuff right?! I will check out what you've been up to soon! Take care!
ReplyDelete@ Mystique Earth: Hi there! Thanks!! Yes I have a bunch of header ideas in mind and some even sketched out hehe. Bruce Springsteen has some cool songs indeed! Haha I know I'm on the internet way too often as well. In my case...major distraction hehe. Do take care as well!
@ Abz: Haha! You're very welcome ^_^. New headers are always fun! Can't wait to see what you come up with! Cya!
