As taken from This is Star:

If the Big Word Project is just a clever way for two incredibly smart dudes to make a ton of money, then I wouldn’t be the first to say it’s working.
It reminds me of the genius behind the Millior Dollar Homepage, except that with so many words in the english language, these guys stand to make a whole lot more money.

From their site:

The Big Word Project has been set up by Paddy Donnelly and Lee Munroe, two Masters students from Northern Ireland, who are exploring what different words mean to different people. The project allows you to purchase a word from our list to represent your site. Your site will then represent this word in our list and when people click on it, they will be taken to your site. The project is aimed at changing definitions and creating a new tapestry of words, meaning altogether different things.

I just bought Carmine for CarmineMag.com!

Hello everyone!

So, I haven’t written about this on here yet, but I’m going to right now. I have spent the last two months or so changing my life around completely in preparation for making Addmyartjournal into an online magazine/blog (and future print magazine). It’s going to be called Carmine Magazine (named after the ink used to make some red dyes and paints).
It’s been a blast and I am really, really looking forward to getting this whole thing off the ground.

I’ll explain the site more later, when it’s actually finished being built and I’ve rewritten all of the entries and interviews on the site. (That’s going to take forever! I hope not…)
I can tell you there will be more interviews, tips, tricks, tutorials, pictures, reviews of products, reviews of books, art shows, videos, business tips and a bunch of other things on the site in the future.

In the mean time Check out the CafePress store for the magazine. Buy a shirt, help us get the site off the ground quicker!

I am so sorry for the lack of art updates here to wheelhopcity! I’ve been quite busy with school and with my pet project (slash future side job) Addmyartjournal on livejournal. It’s a community all about promoting artists, which I love! I’ve been interviewing a TON of artists in the last couple of months which has been really exciting.
I’ve also been doing a lot of school work (BOR-ing! not really).
Other than that I’ve dyed my hair pink. New favorite hair color EVER. I absolutely love it.

I promise I will start working on some art again soon.

For now I leave you with some links to awesome artists:
Serpenthes
Katie West
Mae Jane
Brian Ewing
Rosemary Travale
Melissa Haslam
Leanna Wright

Addmyartjournal Interviews: I interview other artists, at least once a week, at the livejournal community addmyartjournal. I love doing it, it’s a fantastic opportunity, but it can be rather hard to track down so many artists, ask them for interviews, get the interviews and find pieces of their art to post. I have a long, fantastic, list of people for the next few weeks. I’m quite excited about them.

Dye My Hair Pink: I ordered the dye on Friday afternoon, it’s almost here and I can’t wait. I am very much looking forward to finally having pink hair.

Homework: Get together with my scene partner, memorize my lines/plan my costume, write Sociology paper, do more research for Sociology project, do my Sociology test and read the next chapter. I have a lot to do this week, luckily it’s spring break!

Work on Secret Project: My husband and I are working on some secret projects. I’m really excited and we need to get these things rolling.

File Taxes: Seriously.

Workout: I’ve been slacking in the last week. Not good.
