Keep Your Head In The Clouds ~ Art & Poems for All! ~CLOSED~

[Graysen]

~Currently CLOSED!~
The shop is currently closed to new orders. I shall be working on what I have not yet finished. Chances are the shop shall not be open for most of the summer. Thank you all for your patience. ^^"

Welcome! This is a place for all art lovers. Whether you're searching for a poem for yourself, maybe to put in your signature, or a quick sketch or full drawing, you'll be sure to find something you like here!
NEW: I have recently added oekakis to the mix! :D

I'm offering four different styles of art here: poems, sharpie sketches, pencil drawings and oekakis.

NEW Feature: Here's my art-block scale from 1 to 10. Ten being the worst meaning art block has me practically lying down on the floor, and one being that I'm practically or literally jumping up and down with all my creativeness. The underlined number is where I stand at the moment. I'll try to update it regularly. :3

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

They're long, so please do feel free to skip through them, but here are my style of poems:

~Silent Wings~

No sound, not a stir,
comes from one's wings oh so pure.
Not physical at all, not so obvious
or so small a thing
or big a thing
but silent all the same.
Our actions are feathers,
our feelings the colour.
They lay behind us but are there.
Some of us turn to try to see
to see who are we,
to be certain it was true
that we did the best we could do.
We go on silently
we silent winged people
that have a chance, a chance to fly.
Yet we question.
Should we jump? Should we try?
Try and fall? Try at all?
And so we walk, walk on and on.
But I will fly.
Fly high for sure some day
though I might fall,keep my doubts at bay,
pick myself up after the fall.
For I will fly
upon these silent wings
of mine.

~Blue Sky~


At midmorning or high afternoon,
a tall sweeping colour comes to me soon.
Vibrant in mind, even more so outside.
A dark version at night, a shadow navy blue,
with it’s star friend,the Sun,
out for a snooze.I see it in eyes,
described in books, in every shade.
The clouds try to hide it, contain it,
though it grabs my eyes by hooks
of shading, perfectly,
lighter up to the horizon and darker above,
I wonder what others
have ever dreamed of.
Of this sky, of the perfect shade?
What does it look like, on the other side?
Is it somebody else’s sky in their eyes?
But this blue seems to call to me,
begging me to memorize it,
to come see it soon.
Yes, I know one thing.
This is my own sky of blue.

Love Will Show

~Just more words?
Or maybe something
is hidden behind them?
Is it me,
or is it you?
...No clue.
What to do?

They resound in my mind,
over in over,
every word precise,
not a word out of place,
as clear as ice.
Meanings, meanings...
But who knows?
Maybe some truth will
someday show.~

Also be sure to check out some finished orders to see more examples of what I've done. There's links to them here.

Here are some examples of sharpie sketches:

And here are some examples of pencil drawings. You will have the choice as to whether you'd like me to have colour in them or not.

These oekakis are what I have done without lines provided, completely of my own creation, apart from any reference. All others in my gallary are 'Coloured In.' As you can see, I'm just getting a start on my own style, and am not as familiar with animal-like things, but I shall do my best. ^^" These are in order from newest to oldest. :D

Payment:
Poems cost 1 common pet each.
Sharpie sketches cost 1 uncommon pet each.
Pencil drawings cost 1 uncommon pet each.
Oekakis cost 2 uncommon pets each that I do not already have. ((Or 4 commons, as in my view, as 2 commons = 1 uncommon. ))

Any drawings may cost slightly more due to elaborate designs or difficulty. Payment pets do not need to be wishlist.

Rules:

1.) All the site's rules apply.
2.) No whining.
3.) First come first serve. I will get to your order in sequence. Please check out the third post below this one if you are unsure about things.
4.) Don't rush me/complain to me about me getting your order done. I'm a person just like you.
5.) Fill out the form properly.
6.) You get two warnings if you do not follow the rules properly. After that you go on the Blacklist. Your order will not be finished and you will not be able to get any more orders.
7.) Be polite when ordering.
8.) You can only order a maximum of two art pieces of any kind at the same time. You may order a maximum of two orders of any kind within a time of one week. After that, please wait until the next week. This just helps to keep the slots open for everyone.
9.) I have every right to decline an order if I so chose. Please don't fuss, it's not because I'm lazy or anything, I have my reasons.
10.) I will start on your order as soon as I receive your payment. This keeps things in order and prevents problems from arising.
11.) Follow the rules and keep them in mind while you're here. Is this so hard to ask? =)

I'm sorry to seem so rude and strict, but these seem to be necessary in my experience. I'm really not that mean, and I really don't want to have to have a Blacklist, but things do happen. This way things are in order and clear before hand. However, all these rules are equally important. And don't hesitate to ask questions if you're confused about something. I'll gladly do my best to answer it. C:

Thank you for reading. ^^

Artist's Note:

Please also understand that I am best at anything to do with nature in general. I work best at plants, and do decently at mammals. It is harder for me to do birds or any aquatic animals, though I'll gladly try. However, if you are ordering a drawing of either kind, a reference will make a huge difference in the finished result, as then I have a good idea of what you want and what it looks like. For poems, I can only get a vibe of what you want, so a phrase or term or even a word is needed.
Most importantly, please do not claim any of my work as your own. It is extremely unfair and unreasonable, and only bad things can come of it. :\

Overall, if you follow the rules, keep in mind that I am a person just like you, and be kind, I'm sure we can get along. I'll be delighted to finish your orders. Thank you so very much for reading! C:


Updates:

~May 1, 2011~
Well I'm back from the main bit of the things that had kept me busy for a little while. I've also recently added a 'art block' scale for you all to see in the first half of the first post. :3 I'll try my best to keep it updated. Also, if any of you have any suggestions or such that you think may improve my art shop or my art at all, please post or message me. c: Don't worry about it being very 'harsh' or anything, as long as it's shown that you're not deliberately being rude or anything, I can take it, and I'm sure I'll improve from it. Thanks again to all of you reading this. You keep this place going. :D

~May 28, 2011~
I'm going on my trip very very soon. So I won't be able to get to any orders, but I thank you all so very much for your patience. I'll be gone until the 6th, and probably won't be getting to orders until around the 10th or 11th. Again, thank you all for your patience. I appreciate it so much. c:

~July 2, 2011~
Summer's here! c: I am doing my best on orders, but unfortunately won't be opening again until summer's over, most likely. We'll see how things go.
But just so you know, I won't have any more internet access or much free time at all this month, though August I'll be working like crazy to finish them, and it won't be too hard with nothing to distract me.
I really can't stop thanking all of you amazing people with your endless patience. You haven't bothered me once. ^^"
