# About me

+Not a photoshopped BG. Photo taken of me at a museum. Pure chance : )+

I am a published Illustrator and starving artist living in the eastern US. I've learned to live at peace with my muse and eccentricities. I work mostly in watercolors and other traditional mediums, and I wrestle with Photoshop now and then. I have at least one comic in the works- details will be up soon, if all goes well! Feel free to drop a line. I'm friendly, I promise.

Thanks?... Though it's kind of a mess at the moment, to be honest. I'm still clearing out some old stuff and trying to upload a bunch of newer, marginally better (but not really) paintings.

Hey there--I'm going to creep on you hardcore, since you're part of the Awesome-Rp-Girls from Saikoucon who got chatting with my friends :sushibagel: and about insane roleplay shenangians!

I also LOVE the owl card I got from you! I was going to keep him in my wallet, but he's temporarily on my desk with some prints to motivate me to remember that fun things do happen inbetween all the school work!

It was very lovely meeting you and I look forward to seeing more of your work!

YYeeesss I need more creepers, please feel free to do so, and excuse the out of date ness of the DA page- I'm in the middle of updating it with newer work, and cleaning out things that I'm unhappy with. It was great meetin' all you guys, and me and my friend Lizzy were seriously bemused with the idea of helping with a Roleplay panel that you guys brought up. Crazy interesting.

I'm so happy you like the lil card! I had him hanging around for a while, and I'm glad He found a home at last! He's on handmade paper too : )

It was really great meeting you too! I hope I'll be seeing you again soon! You guys were very friendly, and the first friendly people I saw at a con, as I didn't really socialize at all at my first con.

I'm doing low carb- how DARE you tempt me with popcorn feelings. Feelings are delicious, especially when buttered with sadness and bitter tears and the sweetness of ruined innocence. But just plain is good too.

Thank-you so much! Too bad after I watched I stopped doing much of anything on here. Thinking about coming back, atm clearing out old things, or at least some o' them. Well- the ones I can't stand looking at, at the very least.

<3 Aaah! So great to see you here again! Right now I am in Bangkok so I will write you back when I'm back from Thailand. I absolutely adore your art and I'd love to art trade or commission you when I'm back in October <3

annekaretnikov In reply to ms-laika [2013-08-14 21:38:49 +0000 UTC]

Ah, no problem! I don't know how to do anything anymore and I barely remember anything : > It doesn't help that everybody has moved on to a different account or quit or their art style has changed drastically ect ect

haha. *no idea what I'm doing*

Ahh, enjoy Thailand. Sketch while you're there!

P.s. can I say again how fantabulous your art is looking? Seriously.

Ah, yes, I will be undergoing a massive upload of a bunch of recent work onto here, and probably setting up commissions, and I'll also be likely trying to find new people to follow to boot. It's quite comforting to be welcomed back by a small handful of people : )
