My 2010 art calendar is a selection of 12 of my favourite illustrations from 2009 created by me.
Finding hair color pictures and ideas is one of the main ways that people seek inspiration for their hair and the new colors that can be created within the hair. These pictures can be taken from inspiration from celebrities, random…
Long bob hairstyles have been in fashion since times unknown. They are very popular among women as they suit any hair type and texture. You don’t have to have any preset features to adapt to long bob hairstyles.
Layered long hair styles are one of the most versatile haircuts and are also one of the most popular – because of the versatility that exists within the haircut. Long layered haircuts can be used for straight hair, as well…
Long hairstyles should have lots of natural texture, flirtatious flips and long loose layers whether your hairstyle is straight, wavy or curly. This extremely versatile cut suits a wide variety of face shapes and can be as casual or dressy as you need to be. Long hairstyles allow you to let down your hair, place it in pony tails, and bundle it up in decorative designs. If you have a long hairstyle, it's best to take care of it or don't have it at all. When choosing long layered hair styles the first step is to determine which style works with the shape of your face. Long layers are essential for this type of hair style to lay correct. Another great tip is to blow dry the hair with a large round brush, directing all layers down and under.
Styles that are flattering: Brow-skimming bangs (I plan to never go without them again). Chin-length bobs are also ideal for us because they create the illusion of width. Gwyneth Paltrow’s shoulder-length bob is very flattering on a long face. Just make sure your stylist cuts the hair a bit shorter in the back so it doesn’t look boring. Curls and waves work well because they add width to the face.

This is a revival of a retro 60’s look. To achieve body like this, try round brushing your hair while your giving it a blowout. This will give you loads of volume and a slight curl to the ends without having to use the curling iron.
For my new hair I'm still experimenting The back is cut so I can spike it out But I've decided to go with wax to spike it which i'm still experimenting with (hence why i have no pictures of that) If you have really long hair i'd suggest some type of wax, simply because it has structure and seems less like lethal spikes than gel, and texturizer would barely help and you'd be holding everything up with hairspray alone otherwise. However it would be a similar idea.
Wishing you a Happy 2010 full of joy and creativity!
This is my contribution to the British-based art project Mail Me Art. My little mermaid was created on a cushioned rugged envelope using black markers, white gel pen and colour pencils.
The idea of this project is to submit art mailed in on postcards, envelopes, boxes, cardboard tubes and any kind of pieces that can be mailed. Every month a winner is chosen and the project culminates in a publication of a book with a selection of some of the best pieces submitted over the course of the year and an exhibition.

Esta es mi contribución para el proyecto artístico británico Mail Me Art. Mi sirenita fue creada en un sobre de envío acolchado utilizando tinta negra, gel blanco y lápices de colores.
La idea de este proyecto es enviar arte creado sobre postales, sobres, cajas, tubos de cartón y cualquier tipo de material que pueda ser enviado por correo. Cada mes se escoge un ganador y el proyecto culmina en la publicación de un libro con una selección de algunos de los mejores trabajos enviados en el transcurso de un año y en una exhibición.
What to Look For in the Artwork You See
There are a lot of truly good printable tattoo designs out there. There is also a boat load of terribly generic stuff out there, which drastically reduces your chances of finding the places that have the good artwork. Here's how you can tell if you're in some half generic gallery, or at a website that take pride in having original, high quality printable tattoo designs.
The very first thing you should do is take a look at their information page, or their about us page. You need to see if they are actually labeling their artists names, or at list listing them. If a gallery isn't afraid to tell you who the actual artists are, that means they will have mostly original, top notch printable tattoo designs. On the flip side of this, if they don't list artists, that gallery probably just steals generic artwork from anywhere they can get it and plops it on their pages.
Next, pull up one page of their artwork. Is it all flash designs? Flash looks very pretty and people can make some amazing looking designs in this format. The truth is that flash very rarely looks anything like what you see on paper. Once you ink a flash design on your skin, it will look completely different than what you see on paper, which is not a good thing. 95% of the time, it will look drastically worse than what you imagined it would. You don't want to mess around with those types of printable tattoo designs, unless you have an artist redraw it.
Hand or computer drawn artwork is always the way to go. Real artists know how to make a design that will look the same once it's tattooed onto someone's skin. That's the type of artwork you want to pick from. If the gallery lists the artists on their site, you can grab those names and do some quick research to see where else they've submitted artwork, which is an awesome way to gather even more printable tattoo designs. You won't believe how many sensational galleries you can find this way.

The Key Secret To Great Tattoos!
Tattooing is a booming industry and growing every single day. Now there are even TV shows dedicated to the art that are catching fire. When you look around, tattoos are everywhere! Now you see them on people you know, see them in advertisements, and even on famous celebrities. So what makes a great tattoo? Of course it is great design, but there is one very big component that is critical to a really stunning and beautiful tattoo.
What is this component to a great tattoo?
Tattoo shading is the part of the tattoo where a two dimensional tattoo becomes a three dimensional tattoo. It is the part of the tattoo where flat lines take shape and holds a certain degree of depth to make the tattoo "pop" out. There is even a whole style of tattoo shading now that focuses only on black and grey tattoos...no color, just black and white.
If a tattoo artist does not learn the technical yet critical aspect of tattoo shading, then a tattoo just falls flat. It is as simple as that. This one aspect of tattooing can be learned but it takes some real practice and some technical skill. Mastering tattoo shading and becoming known for doing great black and grey tattoos can really boost a tattoo artists reputation in the tattoo industry. Those who have mastered tattoo shading at an expert level are very well revered and respected.
Now there are great information resources online to help aspiring tattoo artists. Of course, the best way to really learn the skills is through an apprenticeship, but gaining the basic knowledge is first and foremost of importance. Learning all you can about tattoo shading and other steps in the tattoo process are key and luckily information is gaining in popularity. An example of a great source or brand for tattoo information is "The Ultimate Tattoo Guide" series. These guides help budding tattoo artists get the basic tattoo knowledge needed to start tattooing including aspects like tattoo shading, etc.
So if you want to break into doing great tattoos that will get make people turn their heads, it is CRITICAL to master the art of tattoo shading. Without it, a tattoo is just not a real tattoo...a piece of real art.
