Illustration

My dream has always been to be an illustrator. To make the images found in the enchanting coloring books that captured my imagination in my childhood. Faced with the ability to finally focus my pen, ink, pencil, or other chosen weapon I embark on a new journey to find my true calling. I find it wonderfully serendipitous that I find Deviant Art just as I'm about to jump off the cliff into the unknown world of fantasy and creativity. I have so many things I want to create, so many things I want to pursue. With the small blocks of time that riddle my day I hope to really push the creative flow and see where I am lead and where I end up. I hope to meet many sprites, goblins, giants, and every day people on my way into the recesses of my imagination. So today I begin by working on a beautiful commission I have the pleasure of creating.

The house is quiet. It is strange still not having my kids full time. I thought I would find myself endlessly creating with wild abandon. That hasn't been the case. In fact most of the time I spend the time reflecting on what makes me tick. I have told my therapist I am my own best subject - I honestly mean it. I have turned my life inside out and backwards in my mind in the attempt to seek a healthy mentality. My life isn't that different from most people - we all have our trials and our tribulations. We all face challenges in a myriad of ways and live the life we've been given in the ways we see fit. What I'm finding as the days pass and I get used to being on my own is that creativity still runs through my veins as strongly as ever. It is presenting itself in different ways though. I write alot more, I've reinvented my wardrobe, My arrangements are getting better and quicker. My jewelry is taking on a whole new flavor, and I have a collection of sh...

New Life

So much has changed since my last post, and yet in a way nothing has changed. I am still seeking balance within myself. I am still trying to figure out what life and living is. The one answer I have found to be true is that I wasn't being true to myself. Due to that real failing towards myself I couldn't be much for anyone else around me. The past couple of months I have made tough decisions for the betterment of all. Some have called those decisions selfish - but if they had walked in my shoes and saw and felt what I felt they may or may not have made the same decisions. I don't posses any mind other than my own - and therefore cannot make any decisions beyond those I feel are the best for myself and my children at the time the decision is made. As a result of those decisions I sit in my own place, an apartment I now call home filled with light and color. There has been a series of emotional battles fought upon these floors - all within my own mind and heart. At f...

The quest for monies took all my minutes and brain powers this last week.  January quest was stopped at drawing #9. Quest complete - but not completed. Now on to the next quest!  (can't stop the momentum - just need to keep showing up to the canvas) February is a sketchbook diary - something I have wanted to try for awhile now. I am three days into February and just starting - so behind but not behind.  Just need to get my journal set up for three pictures at least and keep going.  I will post pictures here as well as my Instagram account which can be found here:  https://www.instagram.com/tina.nordloh/ The day is almost half over - time to get my journal going :D
