How long has it been?

So, inspired by a friend to start blogging again, I finally got my lazy ass to write something here. It been waaaaay long I've abandoned my blog. Oh, I finally learned a bit to customize my blog so here it is with all it's purple galore! (Gosh, I'm such a noob)

So now I've been thinking for a while now on what my blog should mainly be. Since I love to read (although I haven't the time to do so anymore nowadays =S) why not post blogs about books I've read? Yeah I know, sounds so nerdy & geeky to talk about books. But maybe I'll splash in some arts, fanarts & literary stuff (maybe some Japanese manga too?) that I managed to stumble upon. To top it off, maybe some random stuff taken here and there. Yeah sounds about right. Hope this goes well~

So to start things off, I stumbled across this blog by Emily Carroll. She does fanarts, freelance illustrations & some short comics online. & I absolutely fell in love with her arts & dark (& sometimes creepy) story-telling! We usually read happy ending story tales with a nice endings & or predictable outcomes. So hers is kinda mind boggling & makes you wonder and ponder about the ending of her stories. Sometimes you need that splash of dark tales to color your life, & I find these stuff enjoyable in appropriate dosage. I especially love her work of His Face All Red. The ending kinda spooks me but yet I'm drawn to how she tells the story (It really absorb me in!). Great artwork too as it goes really well with the stories. These are some of her artworks:




I've realized that her works mainly themed with zombies, gory monsters and fanarts of videogame charatcers but sometimes her works has themes of nice simple life such as below:




I really like this one too!


So I definitely have become Miss Emily's fan the minute I saw her artworks. Really interesting & unique! Love to see more of her works soon!

P/s: I don't own any of the artworks above. All copyrights goes to Emily Carroll. I stole borrowed some of her works from her blog to share them here. (Just wanna make things clear. Don't wanna get involve in any legal conflict do we?)

So here ends my first official blog! Whee~ Hope anyone reading this enjoys my random ranting!

Toodlez~
