Cats Are Smart

Late last year, Gerard Way had a Twitter contest called "Cats Are Smart". This was my entry. I didn't place, but it was fun entering. It's a pencil drawing, with half the face as a cat, and the other half as Gerard Way. It only took me about an hour to do this.

Prudhommes Landing

Prudhommes Landing in Vineland Station Ontario, is a now abandoned amusement park. It was a popular attraction for years, especially during the 70's and 80's, and included a waterpark, Go Karts, roller skating, dances and more. It was finally closed down in the early 2000's, but many of the original buildings were left untouched. Since I live quite close to Prudhommes, I decided to go and explore the ruins of the amusement park. Here are some of the photos.

Sharpie Please

I have a serious love for Sharpies. They come in every colour, can be used on any surface, are permanent when they need to be, and make for excellent tattoos that I can wash off when I need. And that last reason is exactly what this post is about: Sharpie tattoos.
I'm not really opposed to tattoos, but I don't love them either. At least not on me. My problem is I change my mind too often to commit to a tattoo, and I would hate to see it start looking awful as I age. So, instead of getting permanently inked, I just draw a Sharpie tattoo when I feel like it. Then I can take it off when I don't want it anymore.

The tentacles are based on art by Alister Dippner, who creates the album artwork for the band Ghost Town.

A little bit of Sharpie henna.

I feel like I'm channeling my inner Jack Sparrow with the finger tattoos. "Honu" means sea turtle in Hawaiian and sea turtles are considered to be good luck.

And finally, a sea turtle itself. I love sea turtles, so it was just a matter of time before this showed up.

Photoshop & Gifs

I was just playing around with some photography and Photoshop techniques and I decided to make a gif of it.

Here We Go...

Some of you may know my other blog: Starfish On the Beach. But that blog is devoted mainly to my nail art. This blog however, will be to showcase my art, whether it's drawings, paintings or photographs.
So, to begin, for those of you who don't know, my name is Christina. I'm an 18 year old on a gap year, trying to figure out what I'm doing with my life. At this point, I'm thinking art, since it's my passion and it makes me happy. But who knows. Anyways, this is the beginning of my adventure, and I hope you guys enjoy following along with it.
