Hey everyone,

it's been a HOT SECOND, like 4 years now I believe, since I last uploaded anything to deviantart.

A lot has happened.

I made a new account to kind of separate the way that my new art is from my old art, but I'm still the same person with the same shit I love, so y'all should definitely go check it out if you're still up for seeing my latest work!

For now, this account shall remain inactive but in existence as a call to memory of my old work from middle school and early high school.

Find me at samclareart !! Commission me, talk to me, etc!

Living in the American Northeast these past few months be like:
November: Pretty cold, one snowstorm
December: Pretty warm, no snow whatsoever
January: Freezing cold, snowdays like 2/5 days.

I am currently studying for midyears (which were supposed to happen last week, but snow happened), but I'm still working on a few things.
Which of the following should I finish first?:
1. Re-do of Marilyn Monroe
2. "fantasy" portrait
3. Pauline Bonaparte portrait
4. A collection of Into the Woods mini-portraits, with either original Broadway Cast or movie cast
5. Peggy Eaton portrait

Also, my piece, "High Contrast Portrait of a Fabulous Goth" won a scholastic silver key award! It's absolutely incredible that it actually won something >u<

So, what's up with you guys?

That all of the pieces of artwork on the front page of dA sexualize someone, whether it's a man or a woman or another gender.
Seriously, you go to the front page, and all you see is Boobs and Muscle.
It's disturbing.
You know what also sucks? Getting like 10 major assessments assigned at the same time and due the same week because of a semester's end.
You know what else sucks? Having no time to draw anything because of the school musical.
You know what's fantastic though? Friends and cinnamon-sugar pretzel nubs.
So don't give up because sadness. Be grateful for friends, pretzel nubs, and Netflix. And cats. And that the Sims 4 Mac release has been announced.

Merry _______ to everyone! The blank space is so that anyone can enjoy it.
I am currently celebrating Christmas, hoping for some new art supplies *crosses fingers*

To everyone who celebrates a holiday in December or January, I'm curious to know, what are some of your traditions? Not necessarily the actual holiday's traditions itself, but your family's traditions for that holiday.

Anyways, I'm writing this journal to pass the time while I wait for people to show up (It's not gonna be for another hour...) So I'm going to put YET ANOTHER meme in here, just 'cause I have nothing better to do for the next hour, possibly hour and a half.

Wow, it's been awhile since I posted multiple journals in one day, huh?
Ah, well.
This one is stolen from my buddy starblast9

1.) Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, and find line 4.

"Dials twitch in the control panel at the sound of it. The Acutes look spooked and uneasy when he laughs,"
It's from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest XD It sounds so weird out of context

2.) Stretch your left arm out as far as you can. What can you reach?

The trashcan
I was hoping it would be right arm. Then it would be my fuzzy cat

3.) What is the last thing you watched on TV?

If you mean on THE TV, that would be Sherlock. If you mean on television, then...I can't remember XD I use netflix too much...

4.) Without looking guess what time it is?

Like, 3:45?

5.) Now look at the clock. What is the actual time?

3:37 BABAM

6.) With the exception of the computer, what can you hear?

The heating system, and my kitty breathing.

7.) When did you last step outside? What were you doing?

Last night. I was getting out of the car after seeing the new Hobbit movie  
IT WAS AMAZING

8.) Before you started this survey, what did you look at?

the Netflix page XD I took a break from watching Orange is the New Black for this.

9.) What are you wearing?

Big purple "Misty Mountains" shirt, and big fluffy black pants.
Hey guys, this is my sleepy "stay-at-home" day, so shush. It's the only one I get per week.

10.) Did you dream last night?

Uh...I honestly don't remember XD

11.) When did you last laugh?

Last night when my sister and I were playing Minecraft

12.) What are one the walls you are in?

...
SPEAK PROPER ENGLISH PLEASE
THIS BE NOT GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT

13.) Seen anything weird lately?

Uhhhh
Well
I saw a dude bopping his head along to a battle scene in the move theaters.
Does that count?

14.) What do you think of this quiz?

It's okay, EXCEPT FOR THE GRAMMAR

15.) What was the last film you saw?

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies

16.) If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy?

Very good question.
I'd use it to make a ton of repairs on our house (It's falling apart XD), help my dad work less than he does right now, give some to my aunts who work really hard too, buy a new game console BECAUSE SELFISH, buy new furniture in the house because cats be evil cuties, and split the rest up into equal thirds for three charities, one for the environment, one for the poor, and one for third world countries.
I put way too much thought into that XD

17.) Tell me something about you that I don't know?

Assumedly you are speaking from the followers' perspectives.
You do not know that I love snow a serious amount. A winter month with minimal snow is the worst for me.

18.) If you could change one thing about the world. 

I would either:
a. Stop the release of fossil fuels and replace it with clean energy
b. Stop racial/religious segregation/discrimination
c. Stop the discrimination against LGBTQ community
d. Stop sexism
e. Get rid of the existence of nukes. 'Cause seriously, nukes have killed so many people and could kill so many more.

19). What do you want to learn in the future?

Hmmm....I think I want to learn either further show biz techniques, art techniques, or study more history and theology. Can I just do all of them?

20.) George Bush:

The second one was an asshat.

21.) Imagine your first child is a girl, what do you call her? 

Salem. The best name ever.

22.) Imagine your first child is a boy, what do you call him?

Salem. The best name ever.

23.) Would you ever consider living abroad?

Yes, if I could still remain in contact with mah family and buddies, as well as speaking the language of said country, and if I could return for a visit every now and then.

24.) What do you want God to say when you reach the pearly gates?

Well, personally I don't believe in this typical scenario occurring, but I'll go with it.
I want God to say that of all the jerks in the world, I at least wasn't the biggest jerk. Or something along those lines. Assumedly if I did get to the pearly gates, that would make sense.


Have a lovely week, I do not plan on posting another journal until Christmas.
Until then, Happy Hanukkah everyone!
