Art!

GIP! I really wanted a nice artistic icon of the CSI kiss scene, so I made one myself. Even though I SHOULD be working on my secret santa thingy for sj_everyday. Oy.

BUT! I did make art for the X-Files Advent Calendar (it's on again! Decemberlady threw it together at the last moment...woohoo!) and today was my day. It's been so long since I've made a collage that big, guys. I was really pleased that I could still do it ;)

Also, we set up the Christmas tree today! It's not as pretty as the old tree back in Minnesota, but it's a Christmas tree and I love that. Oh! Dude, we watched The Waitress yesterday and (I'm not spoiling anyone, am I?) while parts of it were amusing, I didn't care for the message. Life sucks and then you have a baby? I get it, there's something magical about babies, but honestly, I just don't understand the 'baby-makes-it-all-better' cliche. Can anyone explain that?

Wow. Thank you! You're way better than I am, though ;) I can't wait to see yours!

Yay, thanks for the heads up about the Advent calendar! I wouldn't have known about it otherwise.

The collage is beautiful :D

Thank you! I was just so glad I still had it in me. I really miss those days of continual learning, being absorbed by the technical aspects of collaging. While iconing is so much fun, I feel like I haven't learned anything new in a while, other than selective coloring.

I thought about making one too first, but then I didn't trusted my muse enough to try.

Your fanart is very beautiful :)

Thank you. :) I also didn't have any ideas about what to make - I just messed around in Photoshop until I realized I could make something out of what I had. *L*
