Hey guys!

I know I haven't been hanging around dA as much as I used to - and to be perfectly honest, it's probably going to continue to be the trend!

I just wanted to let you know that I'm still hanging around online... I just have confined myself to mostly posting on tumblr these days.

SO if you want to get in contact or continue to see my art (yes I still art), then feel free to go find me at my page 

Alternatively - if you ONLY want to see my art, you can follow my art blog.

I also have a YOUTUBE CHANNEL where I'm uploading my speedpaints now so if you'd like to subscribe to me and help me out, you can do that here

Lastly, I'm also on twitter, so if you're super interested in my personal life (ahahaha) go find me there.

Also - I'm moving to the UK early next year, so if anyone living in the UK wants to hit me up, just PM me on tumblr :)

Hope to see you guys around!

HCAI Auction!

4 min read
Hi guys!!

Well, today's the day my piece goes on auction for the HCAI (Hiddles Chat Art Initiative) project to raise money for UNICEF!!

This is not a picture I've posted to my dA, or on Tumblr, or anywhere else online. This is exclusively for this project and once the auction's over, that will be it. So if you'd like to see the picture and auction page, here's the link:

operationhcai.tumblr.com/post/…

However, this is not necessarily me asking you to go bid on this - What I'd really appreciate is a signal boost. If you could post this link to twitter or tumblr or anywhere else you think appropriate, I would be eternally grateful!

The official Tumblr post is here: jazzysatindoll.tumblr.com/post…

And you can use either the tumblr link or the link I gave you to the auction site on Twitter.

If you're already following me on Tumblr or Twitter (I'm JazzySatinDoll on both of these sites), then all you have to do is retweet or reblog from my pages :D Simple!

If you're a wonderful, amazing person and you just want to donate to the cause for the sake of donating, then you can do that through Hiddlestoners Have Heart ( twitter.com/HiddlestonersHH ) who have set up a fund for Tom Hiddleston's fans which is currently sitting at around 19,000 GPB - which is awesome!

Thanks so much for even taking the time to read this guys. UNICEF is doing some brilliant things in countries that need it and I'm just happy to be helping out any way I can.

Peace!

A New Year

4 min read
Hello hello!!

I am back from Europe so, sadly, I've had to reclaim my page from everyone I featured while I was gone :'(
Thank you all so much for keeping it warm for me and I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season!!

As for this year - I am in my second year of my Masters Degree in Egyptology, which means it's Thesis time once again. :faint:
I'm telling you this so you have a heads up with how busy I should be this year. Of course, we all know I am the world's greatest procrastinator, so it could be my busiest year on dA yet - who knows?

One exciting piece of news I have is that I have been allowed to draw a piece specifically for HCAI or "Hiddles Chat Art Initiative", which will be auctioned off (I believe) this Monday!! The initiative takes art donations from Tom's fans and either sells prints or auctions the individual pieces for Unicef - a charity directly supported by Tom Hiddleston. Therefore, as my piece is going on auction, I won't be releasing the entire picture to the internet (just so it's special for whoever wins it), but I will upload a preview of the piece to my page when I have more auction details for you - so keep a look out for that!

If you want to find out more about HCAI or Hiddlestoners Have Heart (Unicef) go here: operationhcai.tumblr.com/ and here: hiddlestonershaveheart.tumblr.…

That's all for now guys!

Peace,

- Jazzy

So last year I wrote down a list of 10 New Year's Resolutions that I hoped to accomplish by the end of the year and now, I feel as though I should take some time to evaluate myself before 2013 comes.

1) I will be able to hold a coherent conversation in German by the end of the year.

Well.... yes and no. I did learn a lot of german this year, but I don't think I'd be able to easily converse just yet. However, I did see "We Will Rock You" in german yesterday and surprised myself by just how much I could actually understand... I'll give myself half marks there.

2) I will give away a quarter of the clothes in my closet to charity.

Not a quarter, but a few, yes :) Again, half marks.

3) I will at no point think or say that I cannot achieve something I set out to do.

I don't think I actually thought that this year. I've pretty much just gone for it whenever I've tried to do something :D

4) I will procrastinate less.

HA!! No. Just... I'm a born procrastinater, what can I say?

5) I will get a job that doesn't make me want to be sick every time I walk in the front door.

YES! I did this! Now I work for a lovely hotel company that makes me happy :)

6) I will stop eating crap that is not good for me.

Not entirely. But I'm eating better than I was last year. HALF MARKS I SAY!

7) I will change the CD in my car's CD player more than once every 6 months.

Yup. Done. I changed it quite a few times this year.

8) I will audition for a part in a musical.

YES! TWICE! And scored a role. TWICE!

9) I will say "no" when I want to say no.

I think so. I don't remember doing anything this year that I didn't want to...

10) I will read Ulysses.

Yup. And enjoyed it more than I thought I was going to.

Score for the year: 7.5/10 (that's a distinction, right? Awesome.)

I will be doing this again in a couple days time. (Maybe not 10 this year. I don't know, I'll see.) And I wholly recommend you do as well. As far as I can see, the only thing that can come from New Year's Resolutions is the potential for good things.

P.S. For anyone wondering - I'm having a brilliant time in Europe! I'm about 3 days away from going to Berlin for New Year and then London for a couple of weeks after that! (I won't have my computer and tablet in Berlin or London, so no drawing for me :( But I'm hoping I'll have enough to distract me)

Hello once again!!

Just checking in before I leave to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU!! to everyone who came and answered my questions - I had so much fun reading all your answers. I have now featured you on the top of my page in the order you answered my journal and you will be up on my page until I get back to Australia in January!!

As it's my birthday today, I figured now would be a good time to give away that little premium membership present I'd promised as well, so I hopped on a random number generator (assigning each of you a number in the order you answered the journal) and came up with this result:



So congratulations and Happy Holidays :iconalexxmmb: You're my lucky winner today! This is my way of saying thank you for sticking with me, so please enjoy your membership and have fun playing around with all the features it gives you!! :D

Now I will have to say goodbye, as I will be busy most of the time I'm away, so I'll probably only be on to submit something and maybe post a couple of photos. I'll try and catch up with everything when I get back! If you have something important to ask or say, feel free to send me a PM and I'll try and answer those first!

Peace and I do hope you enjoy your Christmas, wether it be white or not :D

- Jazz
