Nice, seems like a really groovy person! Noticed she laughed after practically every sentence she spoke. You don't find people like that often.

She doesn't do that in real life, so I'll assume it was a coping mechanism for public speaking, or at least showing everyone her embarrassing work. When I do lectures, I normally have a shaky voice that sounds like I'm going to cry at any second.

Makes sense. x)

You have a sister?!?

Inorite?

I really can't believe it!

I can't believe this hadn't come up before.

That was absolutely brilliant. Your sister is not only talented, but so wise and it was really hear her journey. ^__^

If you deal with as much bullshit as my sister, you either end up wise, or cynical, or dead. I'm glad she primarily chose wisdom!

This was fascinating Stigmata! I really liked this video, will share.

Also, I found funny that she loves soccer. XD

Oh, is that funny? We've been playing soccer in leagues since we were very little. We are not very good. :I

Not very common see soccer around here that's all, haha! I find so cool btw, it's nice that you two play it, I don't even know how... XD

Sam! What a bad Brazilian!

Shhhhh! I don't know what you talking about... I love this conversation we are having. Everyone knows soccer and loves it!!

Hahahah! You are yourself, and that's all I could ask for. <3

Owwww, you are just... oh, you!

:o

Art runs in the family then?

More or less. My dad wanted to teach art in high school, but settled for a commercial art/sales job for some time. My mom also has a side-business making customized cookies. My fakemom often does murals and crafts, and my fakedad is more of an art appreciator than a creator—he's a trucker for Marathon oil.

That was wonderful, your sister is a creative and wise person

Lovely <3 I like how honest she is. It's important we all share our mistakes.

that video was amazing, need to show this to some friends!!!

daaaaaaaaamn good type
You've got a cool sister, buddy. I'm happy for you.

My older sister studied a BFA (unsure of her major), but chose not to do really anything with it.
Often in her criticisms to me the results are reinforced negativity, through lecturing. On most occasions, she'd refer to a mistake I made or my way of life when I saw in a much cloudier headspace and displaying pitiful work ethic. It was unhealthy.

I'm now moved out from home, living in a new city and learning to find my own solutions to my problems.
She's hardly been on my mind and I'm relieved; shame to say, but that's how it is.

Again; real happy for you. All the best for you both.


...Are you going to MFF? I'd love to meet you there and share our works.

Sorry your relationship with your sibling is lacking! I hope it doesn't stay that way for long. I'm glad all the same you're in an environment conducive to growing.

Yes, I'll be at MFF! I'll see you there, I'm sure. Artist Alley is only so large. (:

My sister is an artist, too. She is the reason why I became one as well.

I had no idea your sister was an artist too! Amazing how art seems to run in families a little.

I can definitely see some resemblance between the two of you. :) Very cool to see that art runs in the family (and from reading comments, I see that the two of you are just the tip of the iceberg). Thanks for sharing!

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I hope to breed more artists later. The iceberg will grow ever larger.

Thank you for sharing this. What she is saying I needed to hear right now, so badly.
Just thank you for sharing it.

I'm honoured you would find it helpful. Thank you for the tweet, as well!

You are most welcome.

an amusing and inspiring video; i'm glad to have stumbled upon this post
