Happy Valentines Day, everybody!

And what a happy one it is. My area is currently experiencing an enormous snowstorm that canceled school today and may possibly result in a cancellation tomorrow. (I dearly hope it does.)

I spent a good bit of time cleaning up and finding space for my new babies: nine ex-library books. Yesterday my school library was having a purge of a few dozen books, and my history teacher Mr. Stone convinced the librarians to let me have some of them. He also got a few books himself. It was like a mini-Christmas. XD

My haul of nine books included two French Revolution books, two on general French history, four about Canada, and one on German history. All very thick. As my friend Margie put it when she saw me carrying them after school, "Sam, you've got a stack of books half the size of yourself!"

Other than that, I have been working on some drawings or less favorably, some homework. For now, a fluffy Nathaniel/Dimitri pic.




I also submitted an Adam/Jefferson fanart and a short Adams/Dickinson ficlet to [livejournal.com profile] 1776_contest for the "Rompin' In Cupid's Grove" challenge. ;3

It has become my new fav song! XD

Thank you! They were both very fun pictures to work on.

Btw, have you ever seen the movie Runaway Jury? I just saw it last night, and Dustin Hoffman played such an awesome part!

[identity profile] carlomelo.livejournal.com 2007-02-17 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
No I haven't seen Runaway Jury. It's probably one of the only few movies I haven't seen Hoffman in yet. (another one I wanted to see, out of complete curiousity, is Family Business - he's a mobster in that one, I heard....and then there's Straight Time!!!omgz!! O___O)
I recently saw him in Mad City (Also straring John Travolta) and loved him in it (Hoffman played a reporter....again hahahaha).
Thanks for the heads up!!

Aw, thank you! I'm glad you liked 'em!

I am also quite jealous at thy haul of lovely delicious books.
Heh, the only downside is that I am now out of bookshelves again... ^_^'

Awwwwww how sweet! How do you get that cool fading effect on the color?

Thank you!

How do you get that cool fading effect on the color?
I started coloring regularly and then colored more lightly towards the end. At the very bottom, I erased the edges of the color to get it to blur. I also used the smudge tool in photoshop a little for Nathaniel's jacket.

Damn this winter thing...
It's been a really odd winter this year. I was running around in capris in the middle of December, and now all of a sudden February is bringing snowstorms. o_O
