Been drooling over Salvador Dali's art. I want to be just like him when I grow up.

Feb 26 I turned 17 and now it feels weird saying that because I did not even have a chance to enjoy being 16 but time does not stop for no one. So as a lesson learned I'm going to enjoy this year as much as I possibly can for more fun and less stress... we'll see how that goes.

Artsy.

Lately I've been really focusing on creating opportunities for myself to gain experience for college. I'm happy to say that I was accepted into the Corcoran gallery volunteer program and will be volunteering during the summer with Smithsonian. Aaahh can't wait to learn from the wonderful professionals there. Hooray. Welp here are a few things I've made this past month.

Terrible quality phone picture of my sketchbook:

I've been obsessing over Eyeballs:

Paper Mache mask I had to make for class. I know it's not GREAT but it was my first time working with paper mache so cut me some slack:

After watching this video i have come to conclusion that male models know how to have way more fun than female models. Adorable.

New York.

NYC - Mindrelic Timelapse from Mindrelic on Vimeo.

Incredible, flawless representation of New York City. I want to make a piece similar to this but in DC. Enough with my pointless rambling, I'll let the masterpiece speak for itself.

General.

Lately, I've been going crazy with school. Teachers are ridiculous but it's all for the sake of having an education and prepare for college. I realized today that I did not tell my readers happy holidays so Happy New Year's, Merry Christmas, and Happy Thanksgiving. ahaha I'm still trying to get back on the blogging band wagob so please be patient and bare with me for more post. Here are two photos of my beautiful mother and my sister before we went to a Christmas party.

Over the holidays I decided to straighten my hair since I needed a good trim. Surprisingly my hair has grown a lot since I cut it back in June. My sister took these photos for me. I'm trying to teach her how to hand DSLR cameras along with basic angles.

Everybody's Free to Wear Sunscreen! (Original + English Subtitles)

This Song or shall I say advise has truly come in handy throughout my short little life. I remember listening to this song in the 6th grade or 4th... something like that. My teacher told us to close our eyes, to me I thought "what the heck is this lady making us do know." As she began to play this I was weirded out then my guard came down. I began to appreciate these simple advices and promised myself that I would take this to heart. Now today, January 15,2011 I remembered this song and felt the need to hear it once again. Since I have grown quite a lot since the first time I listened to this I realized how I totally forgot all of these advices. To appreciate life, enjoy my youth and make a difference. Here and now I will make a promise to do what makes ME happy to stop being lazy and make not only my family happy but myself. So please listen to this and appreciate your life, since we only have one.

Peace and Love,

Annie Leibovitz began her career as a photographer for the 'Rolling Stone' while attending the San Francisco Institute of At. She has become distinguished by her calm and enchanting style. Her work has been seen in various magazines such as Vogue, Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, and many more. Various photos of hers has been in the spotlight such as her Vanity Cover of Demi Moore nude and pregnant, the cover shot of Miley Cyrus that brought shock waves throughout the entertainment industry, her infamous Rolling Stone photograph of John Lennon and his wife Yoko hours before his death, and lastly called to be the first American to take the official portrait of Queen Elizabeth before the 400th anniversary of Jamestown. It is relevant that Ms. Leibovitz work is impeccable and I honestly can not wait to see more of her work in the future.

Intel Visual Life - The Sartorialist

The Infamous photographer and blogger Scott Schuman known as 'The Sartorialist' shares words of wisdom in this high quality film. This is my the first time actually hearing Mr. Schuman speak. As they say, "The genius is always on the other side of the lens."

Then:

You know that feeling when you look at a photo and then you just trace back to how far you've come. Well this is my photo. It tells my story in a way that no one will understand.

Now:

I tried to go for a more simple vibe with this photo. The lipstick sort of sparks the holidays.
