Instrumenti - Shipsi & Reynsi
Instrumenti is a duo from Latvia http://www.facebook.com/instrumenti http://www.instrumenti.in/ and these are the two main characters of the band: Shipsi and Reynsi, they we're really inspirational so I had to draw them. ♥
They reposted my picture on facebook and retweeted on twitter, which is so awesome! I didn't think they'd even care. ;-; ♥

I edited an older drawing, cropped and added some effects.
Before and after version is at my thearta.tumblr.com editing blog. =]

Japanese てりやき .
You should totally try this, it's really tasty~ <3
One day we made rice noodles [note that basic noodles do not work with this!] with teriyaki てりやき sauce, vegetables and shrimp = yum, I say. I'm not a vegetable person, meat is my thing, so I was concerned that I might not like it, but it tastes so good! I suggest you try making this yourself some time, with friends, it's easy as well. :] You can get the sauce in stores, I suppose. ;D
Daaww, now I'm hungryyy.. .__.
Wholesales?
Hello~ :]
This time I'm gonna update with a bunch of crappy photos and actually some text, as I usually don't write anything when I post sketches, they [mostly] speak for themselves].
~4 weeks ago I found a really cute coat on the net, that I really wanted - pink + military style = hello? It was written that it costs ~20 pounds, which is almost the same in my currency, which is ~37-40 U$D, pretty cheap!
And I haven't been shopping for over a century so I really wanted to get it.. and plus a couple of other stuff from that online store.
A week later, I found out an asian wholesale website where that coat costs like fricken ~7 pounds/Ls7.49 ! WTF? So, I scooped around and understood, that my time to purchase a lot of chinese clothing is here. XD As we all know, the basic mainstream clothes that we buy in the stores [ZARA, NewYorker, whatever] are mostly made in China, let's face it - China makes everything. :D [It's a bad assumption that they make bad stuff, because - we want cheap, so they HAVE to make things from cheaper materials and use less time consuming ways to make things, as time is money. In the end we get our, for example, cheap boots that brake when you step outside your house. It's not their fault, we asked for cheaper.]
BUT that is totally off topic! They make some of the best quality stuff as well, anyways. Where was I? So. The wholesale online store. I can't believe the awkwardly low prices, ridiculous. So I read some stuff [reviews, infos on the site], tried to find the catch. There pretty much was none, only that you have to buy at least 20 pieces [or ten], but knowing, that more the pieces - heavier the package - more $ for shipping. Though, when I did some math [actually mostly my best friend did, I just nodded and agreed to everything] it appeared that average price for one item with shipping would be ~Ls5.35 /5 pounds! That's it, I have to buy those china things! As I've been saving up like crazy I decided to finally spend ~200 U$D/100GBP on those clothes, buy some so I don't spend money on the pricey same stuff here in the stores.
Basically, my first time trusting a China wholesale online store! :D What can I say? SUCCESSFUL!!
In the end, 3 weeks ago, I got 18 items, my friends- 7 and 2, and I think we mistakenly got 2 extra things for 0 $. xD [they showed up on the item list, but we didn't get higher $ in the receipt. :'D]
5 green packages arrived yesterday and we will open them tomorrow, as I don't want to do it on my own. :D I only made little cuts into those packs to see, where's my coat at. XD I got it out and yay, it's exactly the way I wanted. <3 Here, let me show you. Caution - crappy snapshots ahead!

| it's not fully closed, there's 2 more buttons up there. It' s so pink/rose red gah, I love it. |
It has a really high neck, so you can hide a bit of your face to avoid the coooold~ The pics are in different colors, hah. xD They were taken at different times. :]
Quality? I can't tell about the other things that are still wrapped in packaging, but I showed this to mom, and as she examined it [she has studied sewing and things like that], she said it's pretty neatly done, even better then some stuff in the stores, so I was pretty stoked about that. ^^ And the tag said, it's made in Korea. Eh, who knows anymore. :D
There were no errors or missing somethings like buttons or anything, in fact - the buttons are so precious, shiny and gorgeous! Silverish <--
Of course, it was a bit crumpled, because it was squeezed as small as possible - smaller packaging = better to ship. But that goes out in a sec with a little bit of ironing.
I hope that all of my other 17 pieces are as nice as this one, I'm glad I ordered from them. :] I will probably make more snaps as I wear these things, maybe some snaps on Monday to see the mess and piles of clothing to be unleashed tomorrow, ah, can't wait! I feel like it's Christmas! :D Oh, and we're gonna make gingerbreads, too. ^^
I also got all of my four books from the book depository . com - shall snap them later as well!
I haven't actually had any bad experience in online shopping, I've ordered things from all over the world and I'm glad that this century allows it. ^D^

It Hurts.
I've been listening to It Hurts by 2NE1 a lot and I mean A LOT - 70 scrobbles on last.fm [2nd in the list], dozens of times on YouTube and some serious amount watching the vid on my iPod, so I guess it deserves a promotion!
I wanted to draw all the girls in chibi style from the video clip, with those outfits and looks, that video is just effing precious, so inspiring, I love it!

Here some progress, I've got a guiding line lineart ready, I wonder how I'll color it..
I positioned them a bit differently because of Dara's huge hair. :D Oh, and Bom is sitting. <.< xD
We'll see where this goes.
