Art Contests 
I was invited to join several  Art Contests last month. It’s quite unfortunate that I failed  to meet deadlines on all of them save one.
I’m the type of person who can’t seem to stop at mid-step in any given situation  . In other words, I can’t help but finish anything I’ve already started on.
So, despite missing the Darksiders’ End of Days Contest deadline last December 17,  I still went on & completed my entry. The contest required an artists’ view of the end of the world a.k.a. Apocalypse. I elected the Horsemen of the Apocalypse as subjects to my interpretation. I opted for a  magical/dreamlike feel over an intimidating/fearsome one. I guess I wanted to make the Apocalypse less of a bummer  .
Now, I’m on track for the Swatch Year of the Metal Tiger contest  . My entry is about 50% finished & the deadline is February 17 yet. So, I’m  positive that I’d hand in my entry on time! Wish me luck, I hope I win 1st prize – I’ll give it my all  !
2010
My New Year’s resolution is same as last year : To be 10 times more successful than I was the previous year.
Time does fly & a new year invites us to count our blessings & recall what we have accomplished the past year…
2009 was a blessed & productive year for me: 1 a dozen pen & ink illustrations, 2 new dog Chewey, 3 new car Bogart & 4 business’ excellent sales performance.
Time does fly & a new year invites us to count our friends’ blessings & recall what they have accomplished the past year…
2009 was a year of love & new beginnings: 2 Rhea/Josh, 2 Sharm/Marc, 3 Menchie/Rommel, 4 Reah/Carlo pledged & started their own families.
I am tempted to leave out the disasters our nation has experienced, but I shall give them mentions on positive note: Typhoon Ondoy & Pepeng have breathed their last .
2010,  I welcome you with faith that I’ve got Him on my side & that gives me courage to go after everything that I desire  .
DeviantArt
The internet is all a buzz these days  . Social networking sites are everywhere. Because their number seems to multiply by the day, I tend to choose the communities I join very carefully .
Para mio, I prefer to sign-up for membership at sites that I feel I can keep up with for years on end. Relevance to topics that I have a huge interest  in is a big factor – namely: art & friends.
Art-wise, I go for DeviantArt, Coroflot, Elfwood & Manga Workshop.
Friends-wise, I go for Facebook. In between, I go for Twitter, which is a way to keep in touch with co-artists and friends, alike !
I mentioned in previous posts that I’ve been spending much time on Twitter. Well, I’ve just recently shifted my “addiction” to DeviantArt. I must say that it’s a very art-focused community. There are artists with great talent over there & they make up a dynamic, creative & inspiring atmosphere.
DeviantArt has numerous features that it could be confusing to navigate in but once you get used to it, it’s fun The most interesting feature on DeviantArt is that there are various art contests to join with generous prizes proffered! I am seriously considering joining the Darksiders’ Contest. The deadline is on December 17, so I have ample time to plan & draw up my entry .
