Art.

Well, Hello there faithful readers.
Sorry that I haven't been that great at posting often...
Life just tends to get busy and run away with me.

Anyways...

Yesterday, I decided to do some art. I am not the best artist in the world; I'm more of an Arts and Crafts sorta girl. I'm great at making cool things, but I SUCK at drawing. However, since being at university, I have become a shameless One Tree Hill addict. One of the female protagonists in the show, Peyton Sawyer, does art. She uses her art as an outlet for her inner teenage-angst and other emotions, and the writers also use her art in the plot of the show. Her style is very dark... And yet, beautiful at the same time. I love it. In season one, Peyton's art is submitted to a local magazine by her friend Lucas and she is offered a job to draw and write a somewhat comic strip. From there, her artwork just evolved.

So, my point?

Because I love Peyton's art so much, I decided to try my own hand at it.

Most of the messages of Peyton's art are very sad and very seldom have themes of hope and happiness. So, I decided to take one of her pieces, and put my own, more encouraging spin on it.

This is her original sketch.
  I got it from Google Images: http://bluepinch.exteen.com/images/sketch_sadpeyton.jpg


And this is my interpretation.
I tried my best to make it look like me. :P
I used Picnik to put my two sketches together, and used the HDR-ish effect.

I love OTH and I have learned alot of things about life and myself through watching and it has actually added to my faith [believe it or not]. I have something they don't... God. I always wonder if things would be different in their story if they had God in their lives... Always gives me something extra to think about.
 [Stop Laughing... Please.]

Anyways...
I would love to hear what you have to say, so feel free to comment.

Love Always,
Emma Cate

    1. Thank you so much, friend! That means a lot. Since I made this post, I've been making more art. Unfortunately, I don't get around to posting here much anymore... But I'm going to try to get back into the habit of it over the summer. If you'd like to see more of my art, you can find my page of prints for sale at society6.com/wearenotlonghere or at wearenotlonghere.tumblr.com/tagged/artsy_things. :)
