Art By Inora Webshop Banner

Like the new banner?

The corners are far from perfect, but I really need to go to bed! Let's see what I can do maybe tomorrow!


Need to change:
- less high
- smaller, maybe longer
- better corners

Inspirational Blog: ArtMind

Look what I found! Great blog, and great tutorials. I'm certainly going to try some of these tuts out! :D
ArtMind

Inspiration: Deborah Van Der Schaaf (Illustrator)

Yesterday I came across this illustrator, Deborah Van Der Schaaf. The website is in Dutch, but you can see enough to understand why I like this artist so much! She's got some really clever pieces of illustration art. These are the kind of people that make me doubt if I should go study art or illustration. And it's a very serious doubt. Why can't I ever make up my mind and go for one thing?

What do I like so much about these illustrations?
Hard/bright colours, big contrasts, simple but with a clever idea behind it, cheerful, a bit strange.

Movie: Eclipse

Today I went to the cinema with two friends of mine. First we watched Twilight and New Moon, as a sort of marathon. It was a very nice day.

I'm not a big fangirl of the Twilight Saga, believe me, but I DO like the books, and the movies aren't THAT bad. I'm sick and tired, honestly, of having to hide liking the books (and the movies, though I do believe the books are way better) because I'll either get hateful looks thrown at me, and have to listen to people ranting about how stupid the story(book/movie) is or having people drool on my pants when they think of Edward, or Jacob. I'm kinda neutral on that subject, by the way. Well, maybe not. I'm quite biased I suppose, since I love vampires (books/movies). But still, I see flaws in both characters, but I really do not like Jacob at all. Which is probably just because he forces Bella into kissing him, when she doesn't want to.
Anyway, I'm starting a little rant here myself so I'll just quit that :P
About the movie, I actually quite liked it. Too bad they changed actors for Victoria, because I really liked the first actress, and the new one, well, she didn't look the part in my honest opinion (she's way too cute! Especially her nose just yells "cute and cheeky", not blood thirsty vampire). All in all, Edward and Bella did much better than the last two movies (I don't like the actors to be honest... Bella seems to use too much botox and usually only looks neutral or frightened).
Still. I shouldn't complain so much! I liked it. And I'm probably going to read the fourth book, Breaking Dawn, again so I'll know exactly what should be happening next movie. Something I should have done with Eclipse.
Which reminds me, I should go and read Harry Potter 6 & 7 again.

Header 07

Today I've been fiddling with some photographs from the 26th of June. I made another header, as you might have noticed.

This is the first version. I know it's a bit big, it should be broader and less high. But still, I like it.

Second version, already getting a bit better but still not broad enough.

Third and for now, the final version :) (might still be better if it was more broad?)

I also made a big banner, don't know if/how I'll use it, though. At the moment it's my wallpaper :P

DaWanda Webshop now officially open!

I listed my first item in my DaWanda webshop today! Go check my webshop out.
More items will be added soon!

Dawanda pt. 2

I've been working on the webshop again today. I added a header, like it? It's just a quickie, but it'll do for now :) I wish I could work with illustrator, but I've got no idea how to properly use the program. And at the moment I just don't have the time or patience for tutorials. We'll see.

Website back online, well, kinda. Pt. 2

You can again find my website under the link of www.artbyinora.com, but it will show as a different link. You will most probably experience some 404 errors, but please be patient and click on the tab you would like to view because the pages DO work. There's just some problems with the page you are directed to when you're first going to the website, and also the About Me page gives some problems, but just click again if you get an error, because it will work the second time.

I wish things would just work out.
And they will, eventually :)

DaWanda

Today I finally got round to do something about that webshop I've been talking about. Still, nothing really to show you. I did add a Dawanda widget to my blog (you can find it in the vertical menu on the right). And I've been reading a lot and editting my profile on DaWanda, etc. I'm so eager to put some items in my shop!



Well, would you look at that!  My DaWanda webshop!

These photographs were actually made for an idea I had, this is the picture that came out perfectly for this idea:
