A moment.

|Of weakness| In a spontaneous fashion |
|With a psychologist mindset|

-----Hey there, It has been a long time since I have last posted, so I will be updating with pictures. Its been over a year, and I really need to get out of the habit of forgetting my blog. Happens far too often. The picture on the right was down in photoshop and just a spur of the moment kind of pic. I was really into painting all on one layer when I did this. -wink-

Where am I?

That Boy is a MonsterHe ate my Heart and then he ate my Brain

-----Why dont I update this more? There are people out there who may want to know things about me and my art. that doesnt befriend me on facebook or da watch on Deviantart.com (www.facebook.com/soteh) (http://www.soteh.deviantart.com/) ;D Mkay well lots of stuff has been happening that has resulted in one sleepy j.t. mua. you know school, work, and all that. I have recently pondered if I have much of a presence on the webs. I wonder if i should do webcams. Ive seen many people doing that. quite possibly for my upcoming project. (I dont want to give too much information away, since it is severely new and changeable. really i just started massive brainstorming today.. but im excited for what i have come up!) Im really happy and hyper right now! so many smily emoticons from me! :):):):):) (dramatization, indeed.)

-----I have been just a wee too busy for drawing on my tablet this last month, say it aint so! But have had the many doodles inbetween travelings. The top most picture being one of them. It was a spur of the moment to show what I felt when listening to Lady Gaga's song Monster. Its really catchy

-----The Truth why I did this picture on the left.. well i looked into the mirror and said 'Hey I kindof look like Harley Quinn, due to the blond hair and such' So that is what I did, my friend was off at work and I had a weedend day of nothing, that ONE time. And so I decided to play Photoshoot with the help of my sister, Kat Turley, as camera lady~. I have thought before that HQ was a super cool character, I love the begining of her, with her falling for the Joker, thought that was cute. But you can rest easy, I didnt do this picture simply to attract a certain person. No sir. I just wanted to have a go at the subject and would you look at Harley's costume?! All photoshop'd! Insanity is a fun thing to draw, Im super sorry if you have 'no comment' . ;P

-----Well that is my update, sortof. Note-to-self: Blog more cause you can.

Peace!

A Day of many Updates

"Your work makes me physically clap and smile and laugh. Love the one with MC. It's all really awesome and inspiring. Keep it coming pl0x." -Clay

One of my favorite compliments on my art. Just imagining some on physically reacting to my dr

awings just boggles me. I dont know if boggles is the right word. hmm. But It was really cool to hear that.

Mkay, I am an in a super updating mood today. So.. where did i leave off? Okay i think i left off with a cliff hanger about the Brass Ring award. I recieved a merit award in the Color Illustration category. It was really cool, though, dare i repeat, I tripped. The only person who tripped on the way to getting my award. The stairs were completely invisible to me. And

this human error was seen across an audience of, what seemed like, a hundred people or more. But no worries, I survived the humiliation.

I got a job at walmart, and its fun, just a little painful along with my schedule for school. But I am making tons of multimedia pieces. So check them out.

If there is, by chance, any followers of this blog... please make your self known! Cause i want to know! :D and you should add me on Facebook. But just tell me how you heard of me, or i might not add. say a sec

ret code... like Neves or something. Doit! >:B

Also Whenever I find my time wandering freely, i spend it with my best buddy, Derrick. Known as Maggot Face to his public. And I help him with his make up for his video. He is a sign language music video artist, pretty cool huh? You should go watch his videos too. Look at me, sending you to other links and all that jazz.

Well that is all, byes!

If Angels Cry

Alright everyone has had about enough of Alice in Wonderland for a while now? Honestly i love that movie and thought i could never grow tired of it. But i have gotten awfully close to it. For while everyone, aswell as my self, was getting hyped up for the new Disney movie, i was working on a big alice theme assignment. It is a music video for my Motion Graphics class. I drew alice many times and heard the song White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane sooo much! And to top it all, I dressed up as dear little alice for the movie. Which i do not regret, I felt so creative, and everyone thought i looked absolutely adorable. so super win! The movie was really great and I finished the animation assignment in one piece. And now its Spring Break. Im doing nothing and it. is. AMAZING. Really i have just been lollygagging around~

Oh and last week i recieved great news. I won an award at Brass Ring Competition. Against 411 entries, from 60 different universities, throughout the country! No news on which piece won, its a suprise. Which is understandable, it makes the event much more exciting. I have invited my family and two best friends. It'll be awesome!

The most important to me news is that it is my second year anniversary of being crazy. Or atleast crazy enough to make people worry and lock me away for a month. It was a time when my thoughts were so clear but seriously unknown to myself. As if i wasnt myself at all. A time full of conspiracy, zombie, end of the world, and being ... See Morementally as high as a kite with out even trying. I snapped and a month later i snapped back. It was a wild time, going through the mental hospital system, but i think it made me learn who i am in a way, and really put everything into a better perspective. I feel a little special that i can say i was once a lunatic, and say that i still am. It just a controlled crazy now. One that i utilize for my art.

Also i realize that i havent been updating regularly, im just waiting for the conditions to be right and when i have many things to say.

Well im off to draw a picture with a robot, a girl, and old fashion head phones.

Ta!~

Many cool happenings

'Ha! I kissed you in another dimension!~' -picture to the right. Me smootching on my favorite cartoon nerd rapper, mc chris. Yay! Im a creepy fan girl!

Okay this past 2 weeks. hmm where to begin. Well School has been the same, pretty awesome everyday. I went to the first ALT club meeting. (*The Animation League of Tulsa)My teacher Mr Hopkins was there and one of my past 3d teachers, Larry Latham. My friend Derrick McDonald went with me. It was fun but when the tablets came out he was hesitent. :) but still really cool to meet with fellow artist who share the same passion for animation.

Omigosh Alice in Wonderland is less then a week away. alsdfalksfladsh I can't wait. (Im going to be dressing up. In a tuto type dress, white pantyhose and lovely alice shoes.) Going to be meeting tons of friends there and all watch it.

I have started reading a book title House of Leaves. My friends have told me that it is amazing, a real psychological thriller. I look forward to it (so far on page 4 XP)

Legasp! I am now a tattoo designer! DerrickMFMcDonald got a tattoo of a kirby running with a personalized axe. And i drew it! I would put up pictures of it, but not quite yet. Its a secret for now to his friends, he wants to show them personally. But when permission is granted you know ill put it on here. Such a cool feeling to know my friend has my picture perminently on him. And now it has me wondering what i would get it i had myself a tattoo. The possibilities. :3

Yesterday my friend, JesseNoodleBoyJasso, ghost rode the whip! lawl i have never seen anything like it. I was even in the car when no one was driving it and touching the movie ground below me. He is making a music video type montage. Its going to look tight. (i always double check some of the words i write. and i did for this one too. i feel so ganster! x.x)

Something really important happened last thursday. I was part of a critique for my first video editing project. I was so nervous i was even sick earlier that morning, but i think that had more to do with bad cheese. too much information! anyways.. I really felt the anxiety. Especially when I sat in the hot seat, surrounded by the eyes of my fellow peers. The video was on the projector infront of the class. Though it was cool to see in a theatre type setting, i shaking and felt like a deer in headlights. But I survived, and they really like my editing "very nice editing" my teacher, Kelly Kerr, told me. :) For everyone else's critique i could not speak up. Everyone else was using terminology i have rarely heard of. 'pace' and 'track' i mean i believe i knew what they were talking about when thinking of the context. But i was a little intimidated. All my classmates all spoke up really loud and expressed their thoughts very clearly. I think that is awesome, and i realized i need to work on that.

Also I have been watching the winter olympics and i realize that i see video in a different way now. I wonder how i saw it before. but just the angles, the editorial and interview pieces. Its really interesting to see it all, and i am amazing by how clear the picture is, and what great cameras are being used. I love figure skating, super suave.

Well I believe that will do for my blog this time. Im still keeping up with it, cant you see?

Ta!~

Curiouser & Curiouser

Okay super important infomation first... Alice. In. Wonderland. March. 3rd. 2010. YEAHHHH its going to goooood, sir! Im telling all my friends to invite all their friends to meet on the opening weekend. I want it to be something to remember! Cause I mean Johnny Depp, his lady he is always with, the guy who played that one comedian guy off of V for Vendetta, and Disney, and EVERYTHING. (Sorry for the lack of specific names, i.. i dont know them.) This morning i went searching for new songs to get pumped for this movies arrival, its so close. Ofcourse white rabbit by jeffersen plane isnt new but others be.

Okay well new fabulous movies are not the only reason for this blog. I also had a crazy cool weekend and I planned to share with anyone who would like to know. I am a little town girl in Broken Arrow but live dangerously close to Tulsa, and has explored the down town of several occasions. But Dallas is astronomical compared to my city. I hope i used that vocabulary word correctly. Anyways. Its Beautiful and Chaotic and full of Life and Art. I went there with my two best friends Derrick and Jesse. I drove for 5 hour with the help of a British speaking GPS. I was a little rude to her every once in a while, mainly because she would repeat 'turn right' for times in a row. That got annoying fast but its all gooood. We went there and checked in at a rather fancy hotel, Holiday Inn. And Dinner there was fantastic and a good deal. And that night (Saturday, if you will) We Raved for the first time. I feel so super cool being able to say that. Though.. the first 3 hours Derrick and I just stood around with a smile on our face and hand in pocket while Jesse busted a move. But by time 11pm came we dared to get on the dance floor. It was like DDR. And we all danced and the glow sticks were pretty. And just had an absolute blast. The next day we explored the City and took tons of pictures and video. Including this of me prancing along http://vimeo.com/9483291 good times, i tell you what. But i drove back and now a lil sick of driving, but i will deal, cause i still have school. Well thats the update. since the last one.. im a couple days older. yes.. Ta!~

Forget me not.

Okay today I was reflecting on the past. Just looking through old word pad documents and I feel i need to do something with them. Some are just random blurbs and some are more poetic. But iono, its art too.

----

"Have fun, good luck, happy. <3">

---

you made me want to dream. knowing you made me want to look at the stars and the moon. i always had a goofy smile plastered on my face. and my cheeks were always so blushing.

--

there is so much i want to say, and so much i wish i didnt.
It was like magic, it was cool, to see and believe everything was real. Maybe the tv characters werent really talking about me, but it seemed like it was really happening. I have so much memeries of it and my interpretation. I remember the time, the feeling, and the peace. The peace of knowing there is something happening thats bigger then all of us. That God is here and taking care of everyone, even people who are in dyer situations. I learned what it felt like to be crazy. To be evaluated. I remember the way i felt tring to explain my thoughts of what was going on. But it was truely an amazing experience. and now i have a different perspective on everything. Might even help improve my art. I remember thinking it was like a vacation. I was in my bedroom and tried to sleep. and i remember thinking it felt like the room in london, in a peterpan story. Maybe I just have an active imagination. and i mixed reality with fantasy. but i dont fantasize me being crazy. that was by-product i could live with out.

i love your face
i love your voice
i love your skits
i love yo

ur smooth lyrics
i love that you love nerd girls
i love that you are an artist and animator
i love mc chris

---------------

These will be the days remembered

as the ones that I would be alone but not really. There are people around me all the time, only occassionally when im not. But still feel alone. Because even though i get the 'best friend' hugs and the 'family' hugs. I dont seem to get the 'Hold on to me forever because i am lost with out you in my life iloveyou' hugs.

as the ones where everyday i wonder when i will find the one, what it will be like, who it will be, how everything will play out, what fun we will have, what we will talk about, what music - movies - art - tv - we will share together.

as the ones where i will look forward to my dreams for hints and clues of what to come, or what to wish for.

as the ones where i am the only one in the many pictures that I take.

as the ones where i daydream of how i will raise my future kids. Then get a little bummed out and hafto make myself not to think about it. I kind of missed a few steps in my day dream, barely even had my first kiss.

as the ones where i compare my life to others my own age.

as the ones where i am jealous of how easy everyone else makes it look. How easily it is for others fall in love. How girls my age can throw themselves at the guys. I cant do that, it seems silly but i cant. I feel the need to hide my feelings.

as the ones where I cry occasionally and get really sad. I keep going because i believe that It will get better. I have unknowingly been promised days where nothing in the world can go wronge. I am basing all that i know on my feelings and what i have seen. And on possibilities. I am 19, I am young and there are so many people in the world. And that someone who is currently on this earth, that i have yet to meet, is there. and that i will b happy one day.

---------------------------------------------

Well enough of that!~ Some new news about me. I entered a College art contest, Brass Rings, yesterday. Thats fun, and I turned in tons of school work. You should also check out my Vimeo Videos for my recent video work!
