Things that people maybe want to know (a profile)posted Oct 27th 2005, 8:01AM

Music: Soundtrack of an Almodovar film
I wasn't sure how to update my profile or how to put a flattering () picture of myself there so I thought to do it this way.
Anyway I'm 18 and come from cold and frosty Finland. It's snowing even in October. I'm a feemale in case my profile photo isn't really gender-specific.
I draw occasionally but because I'm really critical I think only 5% of my "art" actually looks okay. When I draw, although I don't consider my stuff even art, I have to be in the right moood. I enjoy music like Edith Piaf, Lila Downs, t.a.t.u, folk music and some gothic bands. I read, too.
I find old music, Pedro Almodovar movies, vintage, and La Belle Epoque interesting. I usually draw with color pencils because it's the easiest way - they cost little and you can carry them around with a piece of paper. Also the techinq is easy to learn by yourself, unlike with oilpaint or graphic or lithography or whatever. Also I'm too lazy to learn any new medias.
Yeah I know about 80% or more of my work is very "unfin". I have a bad habit of just leaving my work around my room and thinking that I'll continue it someday but usually I never do. Sometimes I pick up some piece after a year or two and think about finishing it but then it feels weird to continue a work that's months or even years old. After so much time the "feeling" of a drawing has disappeared and then it feels better to let it be unfinished.
