"There's no chance unless you take one."

This is a line from the theme song of the Nickelodeon show ICarly.  Love that friggin show.  Oh the simple things that make me happy.  Someone once told that they fell in love with me because I appreciated the little things, and therefore could find joy in almost anything. 
Needless to say, they fell out of love with me and my life changed.  For the longest time I couldn't even see those little things that made me so happy, I was so wrapped up in the grays of life.  Keep things black and white.  It's much easier that way. 
But things are now in the black and white and I'm getting back to being happy, to being myself.  I'm getting back to my family and friends, the people who matter.  I'm caring about myself more, whereas I wasn't before.  And I'm falling in love with the things I used to love all over again. 
Such as art and music.  I've started drawing again.  My mom keeps telling me she wished there was a way to display my art, so I decided I would slowly start making a blog for it, and my friends and family can give me feed back and tell me what they think.  Some of the artwork is not my own idea, I took ideas from different artists and put them together.  I will give credit where credit is due.   Well, here is my first picture...it is not entirely finished but it's so close I feel like I can post it.  I could use some feed back as to what to put in the top panels of the carousel.  Here goes I hope you like it! These images are by Mark Ryden and Tara McPherson. 

I suppose I used these images from these artist because it has been so long since I've done any art, I wasn't sure if I would fail or not.  So I took out most of the creative aspect of it and just tried out my skills.  I'm working on another color pencil picture that is all my own, and I cant wait to post it.  As I recovering from a small procedure I had done today, I'm not sure I'll be able to work on it today or not.  But I'll post it soon.  I hope you like this picture, even though it is not my own idea, I love the feel of the picture and the simple things about it.  I hope you do too.  Talk to you soon. *!*
