Description for [link] i think i did a good job of portraying who i am as an artist.

I have a lot of interests, but harry potter is the one and only thing i am completely, deeply attatched to. anyways, me and harry have a lot of similarities, and a lot of tools that help us accomplish what we need to do.

harry has the shard of mirror that he breifly thought could connect him with people he had lost, the invisibility cloak which allows him to go places undetected, the firebolt, that really puts him in his element , and the first ever snitch he caught which is sentemental as well as holding one of the deathly hallows, the photo album of his parents and sirius, one of the only things he has of them left, and the marauders map, which allows him to keep undetected and keep and eye out for animagi and people using polyjiuce potion XD

simliarily, i take picture to represent things i couldn't capture well enough with my own hands, the mouse to colour things in a more polished way than traditionally, the pliers and wire for making jelwery which is 100% unique. my notebook for writing poetry and short fictional stories, and basically, my views on the world. the mic and music notes because i can't go an hour without singing at the top of my lungs and paints for painting, (duh ) and ofcourse, harry has his greatest weapon, his wand, and i have my greatest tool, because no matter what i create, it always starts with a pencil sketch

anyways, i am a generally overly creative person, i have to always be doing something that i can express myself through. no matter what medium, i have my own unique style, and don't care what people think ( except for the people on DA, because at least THEY know what they are talking about )

please vote for me!

Wow! This one is really grand. I love the wand/pencil parallel. I totally know what you mean about being attached to Harry Potter. It's something very, very near and dear to my heart. I remember in kindergarten I bonded with one of my earliest friends over Harry Potter, so it means a lot to me (And lo and behold, we're still good friends today! And she likes Lost too! I think our friendship was meant to be.) For my grandma's 80th birthday my family (Me, my siblings, my cousins, my aunt and uncle, my grandma's friend Bob. He's like family.) is making a sort of quilt where we each have our own square that represents us. For me I had to do something Harry Potter related because it's such an important thing to me. So I thought about it and in the end I chose the sign of the deathly hallows. Why that? Because I aspire to be master of death! To be serious its because I thought it was a really nice symbol, and while your average person probably has no clue where it comes from it's still awesome. Plus I didn't want to do a lightning bolt or something like that because people would just think I like storms. Better have them have no idea than to have the wrong idea, I say!

I actually did a pencil drawing of JKR once. It was no good, which is why it's not in my gallery here, but it was still a ton of fun to do.

lol, i'm so glad that you feel tha way! i was really going for that, because harry potter is somehting i am truly, deeply attatched to, i am sure you understand. and even though some people say he's whiny or boring or some other ridiculous things, he is one of the most brilliant characters even written, because he isn't perfect, he's just harry (lol) but he has such an amazing sense of right and wrong, and chivalry and sacrifice, which i value in every person. plus, he's really sarcastic XD so, very much like me lol. thanks again!

HoleySaintGeorge In reply to solemnlyswear22 [2009-06-28 16:00:13 +0000 UTC]

totally agree. harry is one of the most brilliant characters written, as with all the other characters in the series. I honestly couldn't imagine my life without harry potter. it's just something that I'm so attached to; I grew up with him as the books came out. so I totally understand what you're trying to say. awesome!!
