Musical, Readable, and Artful News!


There is a new book coming out (along with many others), I'm posting my first few Two Sided Circus Freak videos, and I have a fan-art drawing video all for you circus freaks, and really quite soon too!

So aside from my favourite authors (J.K. Rowling and all three of the Merry Fates) another author somewhere in my Top-10 list of favourites is Neal Shusterman.  He wrote the "Skinjacker Trilogy" -terribly exiting and the ghost logic was beautiful- many, many others, and "Unwind".  Shusterman's sequel (I say his last name in my head when I type it because it's entertaining) to the thrilling book Unwind (that I actually didn't know was going to exist until recently) is coming out August 28 2012.  It's called "Unwholly" and I really can't wait to read it!

UnWholly (Unwind, #2)

Along with continuing the story line, it introduces another character to the gang of Connor, Risa, and Lev, named Cam.  He is "made entirely out of the parts of other unwinds" and thus struggles to determine if he has a soul. (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13545075-unwholly) For more of a description.

The first of many to come of the Two Sided Circus Freak videos will be a sneak peak of Ent (One of Emily's many nick-names) and me playing a part of one of our original songs "Memories and Coffee".  But it's a sneak peak, so that's all I can tell you, or I'd have to kill you... *squint with raised eyebrows*

Lastly for this post, my latest art video is a fan-art of a great anime, Vampire Knight.  It's of Yuki, the main girl character, and it unfortunately doesn't really represent the dark, haunted vibe the show gives you, because she's not only smiling and winking, she's giving you the peace sign.  How bi-polar.  I hope you guys enjoy both of the youtube videos that should be out in the next couple of days!

Finally! Art 'tis here!


So as you might have seen on youtube already, my very first copic drawing has been uploaded!  Yay! *the sound of one man clapping* and there will be many more to come.  (I am thinking about posting 2 art vids every week and 1 vlog every week, but we'll see).

There is a very short back-story to the uploading though, so here is it is.

I had finally finished editing, early in the morning, and began publishing on my head-ache-causing movie-maker around 11:30.  As soon as it completed, I uploaded it to youtube and that finished around 4pm.  Then Youtube rudely told me the video was too long.  I had to re-edit and re-publish and finish with a re-upload.  I recognize this is just me grumbling, but oh well!  

SO go check out my art video:

30 Minutes Late -Thanks Procrastination!


As my title says, it is all the evil curse/demon of Procrastination that has cause me to be 30-ish minutes late to posting this blog that I had set a personal goal for.  Nargles*.  

So yesterday was Harry Potter's Birthday, and i really hope you guys celebrated!  I congratulated him on facebook and twitter, but I was unable to do more.

I just finished editing my introduction vlog, so it should be on my channel -https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuO8MwiQZx_uhKIK4cFyvlQ- sooner than later.

Lastly, 1.3 Minecraft Update was released early!! Instead of August 3 (as my previous post noted) it came out today -well yesterday, because I was far too busy playing minecraft with it's new trip wires, writable books, coco beans in jungle trees, spontaneous portal-lingering pigmen, and so much bloody more.  You should really just stop reading and play it already.  Maybe finish reading this then go.

I just wanted to mention all of that in one post, and I'm sorry I was so late with the new minecraft news, so most of you have probably already figured this out... Oh well.



*Nargles is something I will say that means "dang it" or "shoot".  Sorry for the confusion.
