Merry Christmas From Uganda!

Journal Entry: Thu Dec 27, 2007, 5:36 PM
EDIT: Just got a few links from Uganda! Thought I'd share them with you!

Merry Christmas From Uganda!

It's about time that I upload some videos from Uganda. The first Video is from the children of New Creation Family Home, the orphanage that I helped to set up in June. Here is their video wishing you a Merry Christmas! (sorry it's a little late)

[link]

This is their first Christmas. Each of the children will introduce themselves and tell you their favorite foods. (Porsha is a Ugandan staple which is kind of starchy and I believe made out of bananas but I don't remember...)

And if you watched the opening picture is the mural I painted of the Children's bedrooms (this is the boy's bedroom pic) Which in this next videe shows the home and all the work that went into it. (I'm the one painting, running and under the mattresses) You can tell we had along of fun!
June 2007 It's such a beautiful home. And at the end you see some of the kids. So precious. :3

This video is from January 2007's Mission Trip. This video is us with the street children.

/Edit

Merry Christmas to all of you and happy Holidays! May you find the peace of God and the joy He brings as you celebrate the season of His birth.

Just a recap I have much more art work to upload as soon as the images loads.... *pokes screen* As I mentioned in my last Journal I am seeking to greatly inprove my artwork this coming year in many ways. The areas I will be focusing on are: different drawing styles relating to the character(s) and a continuous drawing style of said characters, proportions, anatomy, etc., emotion, expression, pose, layout and image design. Happily I can say that I have been able to do a few of these things so far and many more I am working on. I shall upload what I have as I go and continue to update the list below as I complete my checklist. ^ ^

Things in bold are the categories I am focusing on, italics is what is completed.

Life is like a clean canvas. We are the artist.
For every stroke and every color we use dictates the output.
It doesn't matter how we render it as long as we can proudly say it is our masterpiece.
