Hey guys!

I made a society6 a while ago. Feel free to request any pieces you'd like me to add. There's free shipping right now too!

I might add some of my other paintings throughout the week. Like "Rabbit will run", each "triumvirate" picture individually, and maybe some others.

I just found the SD card with my bikejor race videos on them and I just uploaded one of them to my youtube page.

You can watch my race from day 1 here:

I'm so proud of my dogs. We passed 2 teams I think? And got passed by a lot of people cx Please excuse my yelling throughout the entire video.

Dave Rennick. Like one of my favorite musicians of all time just made my art his profile picture.

It's art from like 3 years ago BUT STILL

I thought it was fair to announce that my commission prices will be raised starting in January. I'm going to be starting University and I know I'm going to have less free time. But don't let that thought stop you! My commissions are going straight to my college fund, so I still want them to come in!

I don't want to raise the prices, I love doing commissions, but I kind of need to. I apologize.

So I'm open for commissions right now if you want to get one in before January before the prices go up.

Thanks to you all! I've made enough through commissions to pretty much pay for all my textbooks.

On another note, I'm really excited to start school! I've dreamed of going to the University of Washington Aquatics and Fisheries College for many years, and after being denied, I finally got accepted! I really want to have a carreer where I can help the environment and animals, especially if it involves field research.

I'm having a commission sale this weekend! You can get a spot until monday.

Buy 1 commission and get a second one (of equal or lesser value) half off!

I'll be taking 6 slots. MIGHT add more later.

Peace out!

Hang in there Tolkien fans!

words cannot really encompass my excitedness for The Hobbit. And I just learned today that Benedict Cumberbach is  going to have a big role in the film!? HOW MUCH MORE PERFECT CAN YOUR CASTING BE PJ!? loveitloveit.

I am, sadly, not going to the midnight premier. I really want to see it for the first time with my dad, because he's the one who got me in to LOTR, he isn't interested in the midnight premier. Plus, I'd rather see it during the day and have the whole rest of the day to think about how awesome it was and not ruin the fan-high that I'm going to get from it by going to sleep.

I DON'T want to see it in 48 fps. I don't like high framerate with movies, it makes them look like soap operas. It's TOO clear and feels fake. I DO want to see it in 3D though. I think 3D makes you feel immersed in the movie more, even though you don't really notice it after like 20 minutes into the movie.

I've talked to some people who think PJ is overdoing it. With 3 movies, he's adding TONS of extra stuff to the original story. But I honestly like that a lot. He'll never out-do the book, I think that's what people think he's trying to do. He's just expanding it. The book will forever be epic and astounding. I LOVE it when movies delve deeper into lore from the books. Unlike Hunger Games movie, which was TOO much like the book for my taste. I feel like I didn't get to see any new scenes and situations with my favorite characters. Just the same scenes almost just as I envisioned them in my head when I was reading the book.

I also love how they're introducing characters that were only mentioned in the books, and never actually IN the books. Like Rhadagast, and the Necromancer. I'm also excited to see Beorn's design! And all his ponies c: I don't think he's going to be in the first movie though, I think the first one's going to be all about the Goblin caves and will end with the scene with the wolves and the trees.

:0 I just want to fast forward to December 14th already.

Holy cow.

You guys might be wondering why there's a lack of non-commission/non-smoketide pages art being posted here. For the past few weeks I've been working on a project where I have to produce 30 paintings in 30 days for the TK Gallery 30 Day art challenge in Seattle. I've been a little bit behind on my paintings lately so I've basically been doing art nonstop for the last couple of days. I am so exhausted! I never realized that the mental energy output for making art is more exhausting than doing math or science homework all day!

But yeah. All 30 of my 8x10 paintings are going to be on display and ON SALE for $50 each at the TK gallery in Seattle on Thursday, December 6, 6pm – 11pm. If you live in the area come by! I will be there for a while with my family and friends. Then I'll probably move on and explore the rest of Seattle Art Walk which is that same day and is totally amazing (I reccomend you do it too).

If any you show an interest in coming and saying hi I'll make a post about what I'll be wearing the day before so you can find me! cx

My paintings are turning out mostly good. I'm proud of most of them, a few of them I just want to burn because I made them while I was frustrated and had no patience. I told myself I was going to keep a consistent style, but my hand was like NOPE! Most of them are watercolor, there are a handful of Gouache and Oil paintings too. I just finished an oil painting of a Peregrine Falcon that took WAY too long.

I've been listening to the Scorch Trials by James Dashner on audiobook while I've been painting. OH GOSH it made me have the most psycho dream last night. It's a really freaky book.

Peace out!

I'm gonna practice my kind of folk art style like my wolfy here:

I might get to coloring them we'll see. I'll only take 4 of them and first come first serve. They'll be commission examples.

I kind of want to do some ACEO trades. Mine will probably be watercolor or gouache and in kind of a surreal style if you're into that. Kind of like my "mark of the dog" picture but more detailed and garish than that. Like in this style: [link]

I'll do like 5 I guess.

If you don't know what ACEOs are. THey're artist trading cards. You just make a tiny piece of art on a  2-1/2" x 3-1/2" paper and mail it to who you're trading with.

Comment if you're interested and I'll note you if I am! c:

I woke up this morning and remembered... HEY! My membership lets me change my username! Thus I've changed it to be parallel with all my other places. Because I'm BlackSeaFoam everywhere else and that's my artist name.

I'll miss Speedwobble a little bit. But most of my gaming profiles are speedwobble13 so that's okay cx

Thank you so much whoever it was that gave me a subscription! That was really nice c:

I will use it to the fullest c:

Starting at $2.50 for the standard size and style as seen here: [link]
(don't worry they look way more symmetrical and crisp in real life)
for $5 I'll do full body.

Feel free to make other specifications, like if you want them in my "normal" style/realistic/chibi. Whatever your heart desires. You can tell me what kind of design you want incorporated into your character if you like, otherwise I'll make up one I feel suits.

I'm gonna open up shrinky dink commissions soon. They're just so fast and fun to make I can make them for super cheap (also they're really easy to mail).

I was thinking $2 for just a headshot and $4 for full body. Free shipping. And I'd make them in this sort of style: [link] [link]
kind of a tribal, minimalist style. I just made some at my cousin's house, but he has a very limited selection of colored pencils. I'd do mine in prismacolors of course. I need to use those more.
