Heya guys!  I hope everyone had an awesome Christmas.  I sure did...I spent it with family and finally had the time to do some drawing for fun!  It was a great Christmas.

Now that New Years is coming, I'd better take down my tree...

Christmas Tree 2012

It won't take long.

2012 started a little bit rough, but it ended out really well for me, with no more tumors and the new job at Disney!  I feel so blessed.  Here are some of my goals for 2013:

-Update my blog more often, with more boards and original artworks.  (I love doing fanart, but I need to push myself in other areas I think.)

-Stay better caught up on emails & DA & budget my time better

-I took a storyboard class from Rad Sechrist (a Dreamworks storyboard artist) and learned so much!  I would recommend it to anyone (he's opened registration for a new class, if you're interested:  [link]  (It may be already full).  Anyway, in the class I put together an animatic for my portfolio.  It needs some revising, so I hope to do that this next year and put together a nice portfolio (which I've never had).

-The poor speedpaint blog!  I had surgery then a second job and haven't contributed in ages.  I'm going to make an effort to post 1-3 times a week there.

-Become a better writer

-Become a better artist

-Become a better story person

The end :)

What are your resolutions??  Post them below!


One last question for you guys:  I often don't post a lot of my storyboards here on DA, because they're each a separate image with text inbetween.  So they work with my blog, but not with the format here.  I've been considering putting them all into one long image so I can post them here & on tumblr (I have a tumblr but have never used it) but I'm wondering if people would actually look at them versus the blog.  What do you guys think?

Happy new year to you too! :la: (I don't have my own Christmas tree, but yours shall be an inspiration for me in the coming years. Bold colours in the decorations! :D)

I don't make new year's resolutions. But I've taken a new year's action: I signed in a spoken Swedish course. I guess my resolution, then, is to learn more Swedish and become more fluent in the language!

Wow, Swedish? How cool. What made you decide to learn Swedish?

Every Finn has to, it's Finland's 2nd official language... Anyway, I'd like to know it better because I see lots of theatre – I'd like to understand what's going on in both Swedish theatres whenever I visit the dear neighbours, and also in Finland's Swedish-speaking theatres! I've even met actors from Swedish shows, my goal is to be able to express my fangirlish love in their native language one day. ;)
