Weekend in Kaunas

I've been absent for few days, because me and my boyfriend were visiting now our friends in Kaunas. As you know I had this friend Justina, who was my friend and then she once basically came with few guys and one girl to crash in our place, since then we are all friends, including my boyfriend, who loves them so much, so do they.
We had one almost sleepless night, when we went to bed at 6 in a morning. Then last night was a little bit more normal. We had some fun by smoking kaljana (?), then we saw a very nice monastery and lagoon. But it wasn't about sightseeing, even though, I have to admit, I almost never spend time in that city.
Yesterday me and my love even made them dinner. It was so cosy. I also slept with my friend's cat, who is so friendly I cannot explain. She also has a nice dog too.
So that was my weekend. The uni starts tomorrow :( but thankfully no lelctures yet

JoJo time

The lagoon

Smoookyyyy

Her room is sooo cosy 

Sophie's Choice

I rarely read any kind of novels, I am more into the books that can provide me with some information, except Russian novels. But, when I went to the library, I got my eyes on this book, it is called "Sophie's Choice". the author is William Styron.
I kind of liked it at the first glance. I liked the style in which this author wrote the book. It is free, very sophisticated and very easy to read at some point. However, the book itself is heavy, meaning, that it's about holocaust and World War 2. It's always a very sensitive trigger for me personally. This lady, Sophie, is from Poland, her name indeed is Zose. She has been in a work cam and almost died there. Now she is in USA, escaping from the memories in her head. There is a lot of information about the war indeed. It is written by American author and his point of view about the war is a little bit different. They did not actually saw that much like Europe did and he admits it. So I am very into this book, almost finished, therefore I thought I'd recommend it to you. But no for the sensitive ones. I felt almost like puking at a times I read it myself...

The wedding

So , we are basically finished with my sister's wedding. It was amazing, everybody had a blast including us!!! Me, my father and a groom cried though during the ceremony. But that felt great... I am so looking forward to seeing pics the photographer took! I will be sharing some of the pictures I took with my cellphone. I did not use my camera much, because I was a maid of honor and that would've be inappropriate.
I danced a lot during the wedding, did not drink a lot, which was fantastic. We had few great games, but one of them involved drinking champagne and that was an awful experience. I had to drink it as quickly as possible, and you know, bubbles.... ew...

Preparing!

Hei guys. We are preparing for tomorrow's wedding! Had so much to do. The cake was the pain in the ass! 

Chilly

Hi hello and good evening to everyone who is still reading this blog.
I haven't posted a lot, it's just that my life pace became unbearable at the times... But then I do have a free day, I become lazy and I read all day long or draw, I don't even have energy to post or even think about posting anything.
But I am happy that tattoos are taking a bigger and bigger part in my life. I am grateful that life gives me opportunities, however I know that everything can come to an end, that is why I am happy until I am happy :)
Today I did two tattoos, one of them was again small and seen so many times. Another one was a cover up. Gosh, sometimes I love doing cover ups, since you can juts cover the old tattoo. I actually have never done a cover up with colors and It still looked great.

After my work day we took a longer walk around my hometown. It is quite chilly outside and it feels awkward, since this summer has been the hottest one I can remember.

P.S. tomorrow we are off to Klaipeda again. We will be helping my sister with the wedding stuff, since it's her big day on this Saturday!!! yeaaay!!!

Empty Brain

I am trying to keep up my pace, but sometimes this is just impossible. Yesterday a whole day long I haven't been drawing, mostly reading, then I sat for an hour on my painting. However I am feeling like painting is a harder thing for me now to do, which is very sad. 

Today I did one tattoo, it was easy and fast. Then I spent my evening drawing, while my boyfriend studied. I must start studying too immediately, but I can't. My brain is not working anymore.... 

My hard week(Eend)

It has been a rather crazy week. And another one is ahead of me...

This weekend I worked non stop. I did few tattoos, but Saturday was the worst. I worked since 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. straight. I know that is a normal work day, but all day photographing is really tiring. Especially if you are working with people... That is the worst. I could not not feel tired, but I got home and I had a tone of work there waiting for me. And then early in the morning on Sunday I had a bigger tattoo, then I had to work with photos and then a girl from Vilnius asked me if I can tattoo her in Klaipeda, so I got there and tattooed till the night. So that was my crazy weekend. Plus all the wedding preparation, I thought I'll get crazy. You know, working with no free days whatsoever. 

Today, at last, I got a better day. I did not have any tattoos (only one in plans, but did not happen). I went to help and watch my sister's wedding dress measuring. I also helped her with flowers and shit. Then I got to the shops and bought a handbag for the wedding. And then I even let myself play supermario for 15 minutes, till I got bored. I slept, I read a book and now I am fully rested... :) feeling way better.

At least I saw some horses at the wedding. I was born on the horse year, I know that makes no difference, however I still love them.

Some wedding fun

I love this pic, it feels autumnly

Art art art

It has been a very busy summer for me. I have been travelling to USA, had a lot of job, plus my studies, now my sister's wedding is coming and basically I did not have a free minute yet. Tomorrow I have this wedding to photograph, I am not very into this job anymore. Photography is a subject which I like a lot, however it requires a lot of work, time (which I don't have anymore) and a lot of money. Not mentioning that there are plenty of photographers here in Lithuania. But those people saw my pictures from last summer's wedding I did, they liked them and now they are paying for me to do the same again. I am always dreading to do this, since I do not have a lot of equipment and I use Nikon D5000, it is not that new. But I'll be ok, I borrowed a flash and it's fine with me now... I hope so.
Recently my life has been surrounded only by art. I draw, I watch movies, I tattoo, take photos and so on. I haven't been anywhere much these few past days, because of my constant work. This weekend there is a festival I was willing to attend, but I have to work....And my boyfriend is off today to celebrate my brother's in law bachelor party. I hope they will have some good time there.
Today I also rewatched like 5th time in my life a movie "World according to Garp". I so love it. I was drawing at the same time, and the scenes where I watched straight into the monitor, I saw Robin Williams and I actually could not hold it in. He was my all time favorite actor, I even wanted to marry him when I was a child and saw that movie, when he grew older faster then other kids. I so loved the movie and I cried during it. And I thought I'll marry Robin Williams. I loved his sad eyes and now he is gone.... Today I read that he had an early stage of parkinson's disease. I believe that wasn't easy plus clinical depression...

Recently I've been bad at drawing... I know...It is not even finished properly. But I did not have any more patience..

My art journey

Recently I've been a little bad at doing art. Yesterday I tried drawing after my half failure while making my last piece of art and it did not turn well. However, I am trying to be positive on this and to keep doing good for myself by not forcing this too much.
Yesterday I did two tattoos, one of them was the design I really liked. I saw it, when the guy sent it to me, and I felt so happy that I will be tattooing it. It turned out to be quite good. Once again I tried working with disposable tips and I got disappointed in them, that is why it doesn't look perfect, the tattoo I mean.
Since my hands were very busy this year, especially this summer, my brains are retiring. Therefore I started watching as much documentaries, as I can and I started reading some books about universe, science, philosophy again.

The drawing I failed to finish right. I don't like her face and how it turned out to be...

My sister's Bachelorette party

Few days ago I had an honor to participate in my little sister's bridal shower. Of course, I organized it myself plus my sister and one friend helped us too.
It started as we decided to take m little sister from her home by force. Since our theme was police and she was suppose to be a prisoner for life (because that's what marriage is, isn't it?), we burst into her home by force and took her with handcuffs on. It was funny, way too funny at a times. And then we drove her to my sister's house, where the party was held.

When we took her home, we gave her presents. put on the veil. Also played some funny games + alcohol + food. Then we danced our asses off. I hope that neighbors weren't irritated too much by the noise we made. It was so much fun I cannot explane to you. 

I gave her something for the wedding night muhahaha

We made a special cake for this occasion 

Then we headed to the bar. We had a table prepared for us there, so we did not have to wait whatsoever. We also had a blast there, we danced (people looked at us quite strange haha). One of my cousins are a total party animal, therefore it was even more fun. I gave them penis shaped straws and they felt even too happy about that. However, I did not drink a lot. At the end of the night I was sober as hell. I tried to keep order within the group, since I am a maid of honor. 

We sat there until the midnight. Then we had a strange walk around the old town. All the guys around were willing to take my sister's garter off with their teeth. That is what they did, of course. I also sewed two candies around the nipple area on the blouse she had to wear for a while and guys had to suck them off. That was also fun. It was very cool.

Some of us took pictures with strangers. I don't remember how many guys were taking pictures with us. There were too much of them...

After the walk of shame, we headed to the night club. It wasn't that crowded at first. We danced a lot. some of us, including me, danced on the bar for the public haha. It was better actually, no one was touching you.... This night club got so crowded after 2 or 3 hours of dancing, therefore at 3 in the morning party has ended. But it was enough, because we were celebrating for 12 hours straight.....

When I got home, I learned that photographer made (developed) one of the pictures from the photoshoot. And I must say, I am better off with dark hair haha.

The day after the bridal shower, even though I slept fro 2 and a half hours, I met with my friend, whom I haven't seen since my birthday. We get along well, so it was so much fun. But we both were sleepy and did not communicated much...
