Sky KID`s SKYNET

I waited for a whole week to see the third episode of the BBC talent search - but having seen it now I am very disappointed . I have seen the musical too many times - and a modern scene full with lights and songs completely different than the ones written by Lionel Bart just did not seem right. I felt like I was watching yet another version of Musical Idol…and until now my expectations was set too high. Also the Nancys are getting a bit of too much attention on the expense of the Olivers. It would be fair if there was equal distribution of media time …

Just for the record my favorite Nancy at the moment is Keisha. With Olivers my favorite now is Arthur - hopefully next episode he will be selected.

The Olivers - Glorious food ( the best performance in this weeks show )

About the show ,Episodes : 1,2

I suppose you could say I met Sky KID by accident, but when he asked me to feature my own art on his blog, I was quite flattered.

You can call me Treijim. I have a deviantART gallery (the largest), a Sheezyart gallery (the second largest), and many more around the place. My digital work is all done with a mouse, and I’ve been doing such work since 2005, though I’ve really been drawing for my entire life. I have had no training in the specific areas of art I practice. I guess you could say I’m both prolific and obsessed. And to cut to the chase, below are some of my best pieces:

2H, 2B, 8B pencils, 8B Mars Lumograph pencil. 25cm x 39cm cartridge paper (15″ x 9.5″) Around 20 hours. It’s of Josh Hutcherson and based on a scene from Bridge to Terabithia. He’s one of my favourite actors. It’s the biggest graphite portrait I’ve ever done. Click the image to see the deviantART submission and for more information.

Mouse, Paint Shop Pro, about 9 hours. One of my more painterly works. The boy is William. He’s in one of the smaller stories I’m writing, based in the world of Riiga. It’s the only one of my images that has sold more than one print on deviantART. Click the image for a larger view and more information.

Mouse, Paint Shop Pro, pen lineart, 3-5 hours. This one is of Nari. Occasionally I feel like drawing cute for cute’s sake. Nari is usually the end product. By the way, that’s fur, not skin. He is of a race called the Sirins.

(Mouse, Paint Shop Pro 9, about 18 hours over the past five days. It’s of Evan, who is another one of my characters I draw often. This is one of my more emotional pieces, and also one of those pictures where I spare no details. It’s probably my favourite Evan drawing. Click the image for a proper view.

Mouse, Paint Shop Pro, 10-15 hours. The one in front is Cole. He’s the main character of the largest story I’m writing. The one behind is Evan. This drawing is a representation of the strength of the friendship that is developed and tested through the story. It was really fun to draw!

And there are tons more in my gallery. I hope those five images covers enough of my characters and styles.

I do not remember where I stumbled upon this image - but it became a favorite of mine. There is something special about it - the boy seems to be with an angelic and devilish spirit at the same time ( devilish because of the fire surrounding him).

May be that is the idea behind the photograph to show how the evil surrounding the innocence of youth . Look at his expression - it is calm like he is thinking of something - may be trying to find an answer for himself on which side he can stand.

Anyway I couldn`t resist in sharing this picture with you - if you know the source by any chance please let me know.

I was surfing today trying to find some more information about the new edition of the song contest Eurovision Junior. For those of you who never heard of it - it is just like the official version of Eurovision - only the contestants are much more talented and cooler. Antonio Jose and Razz - both favorite singers of mine began their careers with participation in the contest.

So what`s new about the 2007 contest - it will be held in Netherlands on 8th of December and will have four more countries making their debut - Armenia, Bulgaria, Georgia and Lithuania - since I am familiar with two of these countries I am afraid that they will not be able to prepare well - as in general the concept of Eurovision Junior is unfamiliar to them - and they will pick some representative using more or less unfair methods ( the son of someone …etc ) instead of making a big contest as this is done in Russia, Spain and the other more established countries that have their representatives at EVJ.

I also read in Wikipedia that the minimum age is now raised from 8 to 10 years - which for me seem like a good decision - and also that the competition will have new logo - but no further information about it is released as of this moment. Also only three participants are known now - but there is time until December - and I will keep you updated - and also you can keep yourself updated by following the wikipedia page of the Junior Eurovision 2007
