I just noticed something rather strange; two messages from myself on my front page with links to some place where you can buy apps. I also noticed that a line had been added in my signature, with links to the same place. That's... wierd. Like, really wierd. Have I been hacked? I haven't noticed anything - apart from that - and nothing else have been changed, it seems. I went and removed the extra text in my sig and hid the comments "I" had made to my own front page. I really hope that "I" haven't been commenting all over the place with adds for this site I've never heard about. Anyone else had this kind of thing happening to them? Any tips on what I should do? Should I do anything?

:bulletred: EDIT: Alright, apparently "I" have not only made strange additions to my own front page and signature, I have also added people to my watchlist. While I enjoy watching people, I see several names I don't recognize on my watch list, some of them don't even seem to have any deviations, and some are people I wouldn't watch. I have on the other hand found a few new artists that have peeked my interest, so I guess this isn't all a bad thing. But I'm still worried. And today, I got this notice: [link] I think, perhaps, that something like this has happened to me? What more can I do other than change my password (which I already have done) and be more observant in the future?

Huh. Well... that's not really what I was supposed to write about, but I had to bring it up since I noticed it just now. Anyway, I found this "Calculate you age!"-meme thing and thought I'd go ahead and try it.
Here goes!

So according to this my "actual age" is 24. That's awesome! I can live with that. I really wish it WAS my actual age... I feel so old, and with my birthday comming up next month... yeah, I feel old.


So what's happening? Well, I've worked pretty hard on a few pieces and overworked my muses to the point where they went on strike :XD: Luckily I managed to finish the last painting before that happened. But unfortunately I got a great idea just the other night while brushing my teeth (I know, I'm just as surprised as you are) and had to scribble it down. Sadly, that's all I've done so far. I'm thinking about trying to color it with colored pencils, but I'm hesitant. I haven't worked with pencils in years, and I was never good at it to begin with. There's little to no room for errors, there's no Undo-button, no reload. Once a line is drawn, it's there. But yeah, seeing what marvels others can do, I want to try as well.

I also had a dream that left me itching for creativity a few nights ago. I felt like picking up my old FIMO clay again and create figurines. I get so inspired everytime I see what others have done with the clay - there's some pretty spectacular pieces out there! I did make some snowmen for a local christmas market some years ago, and they actually sold! Though they were pretty easy to make they were a lot of fun and left me wanting to make more and other things as well. So I'm gonna give it a try and see how long my patience lasts. :XD: As usual, if I'm not satisfied with the result the first time I try something, I quickly loose interest in it. Annoying as hell.

In other news, I'm in the process of planning another small exhibition at a local culture center. Just like the last time it will be around 8-10 pieces. I'm thinking about playing around a bit with sizes this time, and maybe adding a few newer paintings. Maybe I can squeeze in two smaller paintings instead of one larger one, for example? It might make it a bit more interesting to look at. The head of the exhibition also asked if I could show a step-by-step, to show how I work. I don't know, though. I have to think about that one for a bit. The exhibition isn't until mid October, so there's still some time left.

That's all for now, until next time... :wave:

I'm giving you a night call to tell you how I feel
I want to drive you through the night, down the hills
I'm gonna tell you something you don't want to hear
I'm gonna show you where it's dark, but have no fear
