100 Questions for a DeviantARTIST
01.] What is your pen name?
Kainaa
02.] What made you choose this name?

Back after short break
I'm back after a short break where my family was in town. I am hoping to get right back into doing owed artwork. I don't exactly feel like getting back into it, but I know once I start, the inertia will take over and I'll be getting things done as usual. Thanks to those who wished me a Happy Birthday. It was the 16th of March. Turning 35 feels really bad this year. I just don't even know the person in the mirror anymore. I never felt "old" no matter what age I turned, and it has always been a pet peeve of mine when anyone says "omg I'm so old" when they have a birthday. But my knees hurt. And it's not just a sometimes-thing. It's daily pain. My hair is falling out. I have bald areas and it looks thin and limp. The grays have multiplied. I have wrinkles and my face sags. All the things I used to love are now known as "vintage" and the young people seem like alien beings. It feels weird not to know the slang and not to be apart of what's cool. I can't sleep. But I'm so tired. This is
A great artist's design contest
I wanted to share an amazing artist's design contest! Her art is super sick, so who wouldn't want to enter to win some of that?!? I'm going to work on my entry now.
Amazing artist + her raffle
Really, if you haven't seen this artist already, prepared to be amazed. This person deserves 10,000 watchers. She is doing a raffle, and I'm entering, and you should too!
