Farm Girl

This picture was taken this summer of me, I was trying to get the dog to sit still in my lap, and it wasn't working with me too well. But, after taking a look at this picture, I decided that i liked it a whole lot! So, with a little editing on the side of tones, I fixed it up and put it on here. Besides jumping in a bog and getting all muddy (as seen here), this is one of the most memorable parts of that day.

Soo... I'm a total spazz. My work.. all of it, is at a complete random. The colors are random (to an extent), the brushes are random, the gradients, textures, patterns, and all of that jazz. The only thing that is not random are the names, and sometimes the text to go with the names.

Most of my work is done for RPG sites as signatures for a book series by Erin Hunter called Warriors. They are great books for ages 10-14, but me being 15 almost 16 I still love the books and I find them very entertaining, they are written very well.

I am on a few sites where my photo manipulations are requested, which are the ones that I will display here. I am mainly looking for people to critique my work, comment and tell me what they think. I love getting better at this. One of the sites I am on is very competitive, and I love it when people prefer my manips over some others that are provided!

My styles often change, I'll follow a tutorial, and see how i can change it to fit my every day manipulations. While I have the feeling that I will run out of 'newness' anymore, such as repeating old brushes over and over, same fonts, etc. I will go and completely renovate my photoshop tool settings, come out with some kind of new style that is wacko crazy, and redefine what is known as 'Original Shortfoot Graphics'. I sometimes use Original Shortfoot graphics as a watermark, and sometimes I use Caitlin Oruska, it varies, lately I have just been using my name though.

Second Day on the Drugs

So, it is day number two. At the moment, it is 10:24 in the morning. I am supposed to be showing my neighbor how to feed a friend's bird, but he went to Target for school supplies, so he obviously cannot learn how to take care of the bird right now. I figured since I had the time, I would go ahead and type this up as the day moves along, that way, I wouldn't be stuck staring at the screen doing nothing, trying to be productive after my medicine wore of, hours before (not like it worked much anyway). But it helped a smidge I guess. So, to how I feel:

8:30
My mom came in and woke me up. I went back to be immediately. Just like yesterday. I woke up again at 9:30 asking about the bird. I said wake me up at 9:45. I went back to sleep.

10:00
I woke up. Angry with my mother for not waking me up. Only to learn that the neighbor was at Target and not at home. Forgiven. She asks how I am feeling. I say I feel fine. And I did at that moment. The jitters were only just starting. That was a normal thing for me. Then I came back to my room and started playing with this new experiment thing that I have been working on on photoshop regarding photo clippings and such. And I needed some phone numbers (its a long story as to why I do not have my phone).

10:28 AM
Right now I am feeling the urge to move faster. And I am capable of typing much faster, but I cannot think that fast, and know what I am typing, so, I obviously cannot move any faster. I am also very hyper, but over the years, I have learned to contain it a bit. Usually by shaking my hands a lot. I guess you could also describe something that I am feeling as nervous or "paranoid' to a lesser extent. I keep wanting to look at the clock, the sense of urgency is something that I never get. Because well, I'm a lazy teenage girl. And I have never seen the need to move fast, I'm not a very good American 8]. I like to take my time with things and move extra slow... just because I can. I am very anxious over this bird thing. I hope they get back soon. I think my heart rate is at a normal steady pace.

To Be Continued... (as the day goes on)
