Free talk and update.

Konnichiwa mina-san!!

No I haven't vanished from blogger xD I have been quite busy, and "busy" for a while now so I haven't had the energy to blog. 

Basically I haven't done many photo shoots lately because I'm lacking the motivation. I did four shoots in October and so far one in November. It's difficult to shoot in Finland in winter unless someone has a studio and proper props. I now tell my contatcs that I'll work with them, but only if they have a concept/location/model etc ready. I'll design the makeup look (and possibly do the model's hair), but that's it. Right now I can't be bothered to start organizing and creating shoots from scratch. I don't have a theme or concept in mind right now anyway so I have "gone into hibernation" for now.
But I did post my newest photo shoot video Heil Grammar! on Youtube. Lovely miss Agony Von Grim designed the concept for that shoot and asked me to do her makeup. 
In October I also did two wedding shoots. Photographers Alejandro and Teija had designed a bridal shoot to promote their work and Alejandro asked me to do the makeup and hair. We shot two couples in two days. Alejandro and Teija had even booked Aleksanteri's theatre in Helsinki, where we shot the second couple. Oh and this was all portfolio/promotion stuff so we didn't get paid to do this. 

However because I did a magazine gig in October, I'm now a published makeup artist =)
Hhhmm..is published the right term..? Anyway I got my makeup and name on a magazine so...Heh it was a men's car magazine... anyway I'm still happy! Model Katri who did a superhero inspired shoot http://makeupartistheini.blogspot.fi/2013/07/superhero-photo-shoot.html with me and photographer Mathias, asked me to do her makeup and hair for the magazine shoot. 

This month I did another portfolio shoot. Photographer Jani who previously worked with me on an Urban Glam shoot, had planned a Vogue style fashion shoot. I'll write a full post on that once I finish editing the video and get the photo's from Jani =) But below is a first taste of the shoot.

Also I finished my newest painting ❤ I'm quite happy how it turned out, and this is going into my "City Summer" series. I have started another painting which will also go into the series. I'm thinking that I may participate in an art show next year =)

Otherwise I haven't got anything else planned for this month. I got a new part-time job and I'm very happy about that =) I work in a department store now. 

Okay so...one of the reasons why I have been neglecting my blog is because I'm utterly in love with Diabolik Lovers and Japanese Drama CDs. I'll post another blog on Diabolik Lovers and Drama CDs so stay tuned (that is if you are interested in those things). But basically these  obsessions of mine take about 97% of my time (1% for work, 1% for sleeping, 1% for working out).

This was a quick update on what I have been doing lately =^.^=
I haven't vanished, it's just that I have the attention span of a 3-year-old.
I think I'll talk about DiaLovers next.

See you soon!

Cheers!!
