The 'Express yourself exhibition' experience - Success!!

                      I'm so happy right now and I just have to share this with you guys.

I put on my first Exhibition last Thursday (31st), I can truly say that it was one of the best feelings I have ever had.I have wanted to do my very own exhibition for a while now and not going to uni, a few times I have doubted my self just because nowadays people make you believe you can not go anywhere if you dont study at uni, which is not true.

I worked so hard to put on this exhibition last month, the preparation, business aspect and getting people together to view my art. Preparation was very hard but I had the support of my family around me consistently. It makes me feel so blesseed to have such a talented, supportive, motivsted family because it just makes me strive for more in life. Being a 18 year old in this society now.. I feel I have achieve so much off my own back. (Thank you to those of you who have helped me follow my dreams of being a successful artist.)

Its so hard to please people when it comes to art especially if they havent got the eye for it. Not much people know what art is all about, what certain styles portray or how to read it. Which is understandable because when I was in school I didnt understand certain things about art. I want to bring a different style to the industry. <3 

To be honest, I was overwhelmed  but so glad when people wanted to buy art off me. I successfully sold 6 pieces at my exhibition. I did a lot of research and it said on one site that you should sell your art for what you think it is worth, which I think I did.

Rhythm and Blues

Red Velvet

I appreciate all the people that came along to view not only my art but the passion I have for what I do. 
I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Thank you again

Get Creative!

I am so glad that I can share my experiences and plans with you guys. I’m actually planning to start my own business and id just like to share some of my thought process with you. 

Quite a while back I starting thinking of different ways I could promote my own art work. I am currently working on some things like;  My own tattoo sketch book, mini exhibition, working with young kids by getting sponsors, clothing line and many more. I am so ready to get my business up and running because I don’t feel like art s promoted in the right way, plus it’s not promoted enough to show the appreciation. I feel like when I start up this business I can really show people on thee outside what art really is. One of my main goals on this journey is to work with kids. I would love to show younger kids that they can also be creative because everyone has a creative side of them.

I have looked into funding for individuals, funding for people who are trying to work on their own businesses, and I would love to do either so i have more opportunities as an artist to show you guys the thing I love doing the most. 

I will be doing a mini exhibition, hopefully very soon after I leave sixth-form. All my art work, I hope it will inspire many young people of my generation and others to come. I would love it if you guys could join me when I plan the date. This hopefully is the first step to my successful future.

Thank you for reading. Comment and share it with your friends and family. :)
Peace xo

Girls Girls Girls !!

So it’s been a while since I've posted anything, I want to talk about girls and their insecurities, if you agree, disagree with anything I have to say, I’d love to hear it. 


So recently I've been noticing a lot of girls on instagram consistently...That doesn’t actually like them. I don’t think its right that some women give younger girls the impression that it’s ok to wear layers of makeup, we was born this way and we should be happy with the way we look. It’s not right when you see girls on instagram and other social networking sites talking about how they want to look like someone else, they want to have someone else’s face, have their life. At the end of the day you don’t know what that girl’s life is like when they’re not online. There is a lot of girls in the world that are like 13-17 that are just very insecure about how they look, it’s not right that they think their role models have to be drenched in makeup and all the fake stuff. We should be teaching them how to be happy with who they are and be comfortable in their own skin.

I have a problem with girls that just refuse to not wear makeup. There is nothing wrong with defining your natural features but giving your face a whole new colour and just going overboard with it, I don’t agree. It’s very unattractive and not appealing at all. Comment and tell me what you think about this topic. I’m up for discussion. 

Peace xo

Music Is The Only Thing That Can Heal Us....

Music is a beautiful thing and I don't know what I would do it I didn't have it...Live on but its something that everyone can relate to in some way, share or form. Depending on what type of music you like, all these emotions come with it. I'm easy and like all types, I know It can be slightly annoying because, Nine times out of ten when You ask someone what type of music they like, they say "OH I like all types really :D" Yeah I know. People like music for all reasons but most of the time people say its because its like being in another place, you can just escape, listen and not be bothered. That's true but Its also for healing, Its a great therapy, If you have a different opinion, Please share.

If you think about it, back in the days when people felt hurt because of what ever reason or was misunderstood in some way, this must have been the only way they could express themselves and now we all share music from all over the world. Also art is another way of expressing feeling,music and art is beautiful.

My favourite song at the moment is 'Do it like you' - By DiggySimmons Ft Jeramih Check it out ;)

Never feel ashamed about the music you like just to fit in,
If you cant like the music you want, around your friends,
Then their not your friends.

You can confidently like your music and appreciate,
Or be ashamed and hide it. 

Just Saying Goodnight Not Goodbye...

Sometimes I think a lot, most times in the morning when Ive just woken up and Just before I fall asleep. Its not a bad thing because most of the time I start thinking about her and I wish she would wake up and say morning to me. I find it hard because I try to do so many things to distract myself by doing all these crazy things, day in day out but sometimes its just not enough. Not having her presence is hard for me, as it is for everyone else. This morning I was thinking and I just had to get up because I felt like I was going crazy from thinking to much. I didn't know that was possible but just goes to show, its possible. Thinking about her I fell so much emotions but sometimes talking about her, I don't know weather to smile from all the good times or just to cry for the obvious reasons. Saying goodbye does not satisfy for me, its not enough to reassure myself. Sometimes I hate it when people say bye to me because bye means never seeing that person again, forever. So I'm just going to say goodnight...This is for you.

Goodnight k. <3 

P.s Text is green because it reminds me of her and her room  <3

Justin Bieber

Recently Justin released a teaser to his new single...boyfriend. Damn the teaser really is a teaser, I cant stop listening to the song, I just cant wait for the video now, its just great. Now I think of it, this is song is one of a kind. I also realised that he changes the sound of the song three times, which I love, like three songs in one, even better. 

My overall opinion of the song is, great and I can definately dance along to it, in my room, livingroom, If family will allow it. LOL.  Gosh I rememeber when justin was soo young and I use to dance in front of the tv singing 'One time' actually I still do that. Its funny because I was reading a commet on youtube yesterday  and someone commented saying how they use to get picked on because they liked justin  ....then they put in brackets (Im a boy by the way) and I just thought woow hes not ever allow to like his own music, People are so judgemental these days. Oh and then he said 'But now I cant deny that this is a good song, teambieber' I was just thinking 'You go girl' and soon after thinking oops, I meant to say 'you  go boi' :D

Hope people appreciate his music, like I do :)

Strive hard enough for something you want, and you'll get it

Finally might be back on track...

So for a while I stopped drawing completely which I wasnt too happy about, but I just couldnt find the energy to do so, so I didnt.

Well its not that simple, things happen and people change and I guess that happened to me for some while, its just some people never go back to who they are, which I find sad because Id hate for that to happen to me...again. Drawing is my life and I really dont know what I would do without it, I cant express the way im feeling so I just do impresionism work on people I love or have wanted to draw for some time.

Having something shake your whole world only makes us do better.

Ambition Is The Only Way Forward...

So my cousin came over today from uni, its been a while so it was really nice to see him after a couple months. We caught up with everything he was doing at uni and how nice it was.

Then we started talking about how it would be nice for me to check it out. Heres the deal with uni and me. I never thought of uni in the beginning, It wasnt my thing and I looked at it as "Everyone else is going doesnt mean I have to go if I dont want to and if im not ready" but... now that my cousins come round my mind is in a different place. He told me that its a great experience so far, and his only been there for a couple months. Growing up plays a great part in uni and I really do think I need that.

What im scared of is, leaving my family but then that just means I have no independance.. which is really bad. I have to learn to start doing things by myself. I can take great acre of myself with the confidence of the family being around but out of that environment with the family, I feel like ill fall apart.

Note to myself: Is uni for me??

Maybe Nows the time to show that my generation can do more then just sit around all day and be a bum...

NEVERSAYNEVER :) Jb

Been A While

So I havent blogged in a very long time, times are hard and people get really busy(me) having to study isnt easy. thinking about what you want in life is hard too,who are we making the decission for? ourselves or others. I think sometimes it can be a bit of both and thats what makes it so hard for me to decide.

Life is hard, when you dont know where you belong.

Deep in thought

So I was just here... thinking and my mind wondered off, started thinking about my sister, missing her is the worst feeling ever, some mornings I wake up and my mind wonders off like usual, this is because im the only one awake so this happens often, thinking about her more everyday can only make me stronger, and cherish all the wonderful moments we had together.

I always try think of the good memories because there the best. I always rememeber her putting make-up on me, she use to call me her make-up dolly because my other sisters jokinly didnt want to have make-up on their faces. Their not girly girls so thats perfectly understandable, I didnt mind getting it done. This only meant that I got to see myself with all these different looks and experience her talent first hand.
Khimi was so ambisious and so talented, she had a beautiful singing voice, I only wish that I had longer with her. Weakness in me, I always remember her singing this song, this song will always be in my heart aswell as khimmi.
she had a beautiful soul.. love you khimi <3
