It was very nice of your sister to care that much for you to have a good birthday, and I´m really glad that you had a good time:).
And it´s awesome that you´ll go back there and talk to the other artist. Maybe that serves as an inspiration for you?
That ethiopian animation-thing sounds cool but I can hardly imagine how it would look like. I know about the sad story of George Stinney Jr., but I´ve never seen any art about that. 
I am really sorry, that I haven´t wrote back to you. Honestly my situation could be better, but (hmm, how to translate..maybe) "bad weeds grow tall"? Does this fit? I just want to say that you don´t have to worry, please don´t do that, you are such a nice person.
I hope that you´ll go on with your stories or do some new art like your space painting or the contest entry, that was nice, too.
Have an awesome sunday my friend :hug:.

Yeah, that was quite nice of her :). Glad you're glad :D.

I think that may be the case. I don't know why, but when I heard about her I had a feeling that she may have known my grandfather since she's lived her pretty much all her life. The Ethiopian animation was a bit weird, but done in a unique way. One of the animations was totally food ingredients :noes:. Most of them were either dry erase animation or perhaps painted animations. Here is the artwork I was talking about, sorry about the size: artmuseum.indiana.edu/img/medi… .

No, worries, I understand you can quite busy. Thank you for sending me messages when you can though :). I have to admit, I don't know what you mean by "bad weeds grow tall", but if you don't want to elaborate, that's fine. Sorry I worry a lot, I'll try not to for your sake though. I'll try to stay optimistic :). Aww thank you :hug:.

I hope so as well! I have so many ideas that need to be expanded upon. I think I asked this of you before, but do you have story ideas? Hopefully I'll have some art up this month, but I can't guarantee.

You too, thank you :hug:

I´m excited to know how the conversation with that artist will have been, if you going to talk to her.
And thanks for the link, that portrait looks impressive, seems to be composed of newspaper scraps?
Do you know the name of the producer of the ethiopian animations? I still can´t imagine and I really like animations, even if they are weird;). But I understand if there weren´t any detailed informations.
Yes, it is way better to stay optimistic :). And I´m very happy to hear that you have a lot of ideas, I really hope that you can elaborate them soon.
Unfortunately I have no specific story ideas, I´m even glad if I have an idea for a picture subject to paint on. Guess I´m not in a very creative period these days... let´s see.

I have yet to visit again, but when I do, I'll let you know :). No problem :D. Yes, I think they are from newspapers and magazines. The name of the Ethiopian animator is Ezra Wube. Here is a link from the museum's website: www.chrysler.org/exhibitions/e…

I'll try to. In fact, if you want, I can make a short story for your birthday. It will probably be very short though XD.

That's ok :). If you ever need some art ideas I can suggest some. Yeah, those times happen ^^;.

Thanks a lot. I´ve searched for the name and found some videos of the animations on youtube. I really like what I´ve seen:).
I guess, now it might be too late for the short story? Or it will be shorter than short? I´m always excited about your story-ideas and would really like to read it, but if it is too near-term then it would be ok, either. And you have entered the inktober-challenge?! That´s awesome and admirable, because it means a lot to "force" to draw and upload artwork every day.
I´ve considered to participate in a small contest on a website just for fun-the subject is "superhero" and I have some ideas for it, but I´ve noticed the contest very late so there´s not much time left and I´m not so sure if I´ll enter. But thanks a lot for your support, you now that I always appreciate it.
Have a nice weekend, my friend:hug:

You are most welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed the animations :).

Nope, it's not too late. If you can give me a subject or theme for the short story before your birthday I can write a short story for you. If you don't give me a subject or theme before your birthday, I'll just come up with something random ^^;. For example, a person gave me a theme of "lamp" (the one that gives off light, not a genie lamp) for a story and I came up with a short story about an abandoned house, nightmarish dark shadow creatures, and a mysterious odd looking lamp that had weird writings on it. So yeah, just think of a subject you like and I'll go from there :). Yep, I'm partaking in the inktober challenge :). It can be quite hard at times, but it's worth it in the end. Thank you for your kind words :D :hug:.

Oooo if you enter good luck! If you're too late, you can always still write the story for yourself. You'll continue to have my support :).

Thank you, I hope you have a nice weekend too :la:!
