Dear readers,
For those of you who remember- a while back I had posted about the cultural offensive 2010 Olympic Mascots. (Original post can be seen here.)
As of today- the petition in regards to the 2010 Olympic Mascot Disgrace is up!

Hard copies will be sent out to the far reaches of Canada- for those who don't have internet access.
For those that do, an easy and quick way to sign the petition can be found here:

Please keep comments civil- as we do not want to devalue the integrity of our petition.
Please sign only ONCE- either hard copy, or internet. This as well, to keep the integrity of our petition.

ANOTHER NOTE: While I understand some poeple are not willing to leave a name when signing the petition, understand that the authenticity of that signature may come into quesiton when there is no "hard evidence" to support it. Names will not be misused, and e-mails are purely asked for validation purposes (and to avoid double signatures). I receive NO information about the e-mails or who has signed. Please try and leave a name as it is important to the cause at hand.

Your First Nations designs are honestly some of the most aesthetically pleasing works I've seen on DA. Your linework is phenomenal.

I think your kid-version 2010 mascots are pretty much perfect - they incorporate the actual art style(s) that originated here, and are kind of a subtle holla to the crazy amounts of animator people we've got in Vancouver ;D. That being said, though, your black-red-white designs would be KILLER in promoting what good art in BC looks like. Seriously. So much love :heart:

I just went through your whole gallery, and I must say that I loved all of it. Your comics have me all giggly and gooey at that same time. And I really like how you incorporate mythology and legends into your work. A definite watch; keep up the great work! :D :heart:

I stumbled upon your work today and am amazed at the amount of time, effort and respect for the culture that you put into each piece.

I cannot say with an honest heart that I see much of the style, please forgive me because I don't know the proper term for it. Though, I've always found it beautiful in it's own unique way and am thankful that you can portray it in such light.
~Shaberisu:iconShaberisu: Apr 15, 2008, 2:11:45 PM
Thanks for the advice. I'll keep on practicing and trying new things. Right now, I'm working on an animation which I plan to finish this time. I made a Christmas-themed one a few months back with Grimmy and Ulqui, but then halfway through I forgot what I was doing and ended up completely unhappy with the end product.

My best advice to your situaiton is keep on drawing how you feel comfortable, and it'll grow into something on it's own. Copying other images/styles is good becuase it gives you insight on different genres that you might be interested in- but ultimately, draw things the way you "see" them. You will be fine- I know this for sure. You have the most important part to the art form- the heart. :Heart:

Hello there!
While normally I do take commissions for this kind of stuff, I have no time right now due to the fact that I am moving back out east. However, another individual that is phenomenal in the style is :iconxaadaas:. He is a Haida fellow and can do what you are looking for! :heart:

Ah, shucks. It's enough thanks to have my comments answered, really. I not only enjoy your work, but it's also a learning experience whenever I look back through your gallery. I only know so little about drawing, as I've only been able to learn by observation, and your work is always great inspiration. Of course, seeing as art is the extension of the soul, I'm still looking for my own way of doing things.

Well I am truly humbled by that. Very muhc so- I put everything and anything into my work for years, and I live for it. It's touching when I see poeple really connect to my work- it really makes me feel connected to people, to my surroundings, and makes me feel that I am on the right track. I can't thank you enough. :heart:

Yeah well, I have spent much time observing, and I've always been able to tell your stuff apart. I was just overjoyed when I saw you had Flash skills too. As you might be able to see from my avatar, I'm somewhat of a newbie animator, and it was when I was first learning Flash that you posted your animations.

Thing is, you never cease to impress me.

Well, I am very honored and happy that you can identify with it so easily! I'm also happy that I have a "distinct style" becuase- for the life of me- I never thought I did! :heart:

Well, there are different categories of geniuses, not just the typical academic prodigy that is usually associated with the word. Even if it is just doing what you love, such as your naughty fan comics and your deeper artwork, the way you do it really does take some genius.

You are one of those people whose artwork I can identify right away, since you just have that distinct style. I can't say the same for much of anyone else.

I can only say that your comment deeply touched me- becuase I never thought of myself- or can see myself- as "genius". Rather someone who just does what she loves doing day in and out and making really inappropriate jokes as well. XD
Thanks you so muhc for your kind words! It really makes an impact on my day- for the best! :heart:

I've been a fan of your stuff for quite a while. I don't know if the word 'genius' is enough to describe you.

A happy sensation for me is seeing when you've posted something new.

Jewish bleach? would that be like the regular bleach storyline but all of the characters are jewish.

So when ichgo and party first go to the spirit world and have some food he makes the comment "Hey, you call these things bagles!?"

And Kon wears one of those orthadox outfits.
