If you didn´t already know, I´ve also got accounts on other social media like Instagram & Pinterest and also a Facebook-page.

I upload a lot more on those pages like work in progress and sneak peeks of new artwork and other stuff.

I will be part of the Swedish Dog Championship in August!
I was supposed to stand there and show my paintings, especially those of animals since dog people love to get their animals drawn.
But since it costs 400: -/sqm standing there, I sent an email and asked if I instead could sponsor with prizes for the competitions. I also sent pictures of the work I had done of different animals.

They responded immediately and was completely thrilled over my work and would really love to have me involved in sponsoring the prizes.
They wanted my prizes to be given to each person who won the first prize!
They asked how much area I wanted and since the total sum of the prizes was 5000:-, I wanted to have an area of ​​12kvm.

At first I had thought that each winner would win a drawing made by me. But then I thought that it isn't that much fun to win a drawing of a Golden Retriever if the winner had an German Shepherd. So I thought instead to give each winner a gift card of 1000:-, which is the sum of an A4. Then they can make their own order.

I will also be there and show old works I have done. There I can be able to take orders, and meet a lot of nice people. There will be about 10 000 people there, so someone will surely take an order.

I've gotten my own Facebook-page for my artwork, but It's also including updates of things that's going to happen in the near future and other stuff. It's easier for me to update much more often on that page. On deviantArt I only want to upload sketches, WIP:s and finished results of new artwork.

My facebook-page is this one: www.facebook.com/Yankeestyle94

I also got an instagram account where I'm going to upload progress of upcoming artwork and other things: Yankeestyle94

I've gotten my own homepage! yankeestyle94.hemsida24.se/

I haven't told you, but I sent my drawing of my sister to an art gallery in Stockholm where a jury were going to pick the drawings they thought was the best. 45 young artists got in and I was one of them!

The day before the gallery was open to the public, all of us who had sent a drawing to the gallery was invited to see each others artwork. I pretended that I wasn't the artist of my drawing so I could listen to peoples reactions when they saw the drawing.
Some of them looked at the drawing for a few seconds and then moved away, but finally stopped and returned to the drawing. Th reason was that they thought the drawing was a photography at first, but returned when they realised that it actually was a drawing.

After around thirty minutes it started to get a bit boring to walk around so we were planning to go home, butthen the owners of the gallery wanted to gather all the artists in the big hall.
What they were actually going to do, was that they were going to give a prize to three young artists who had made they best drawings.
And you now what...........I WON FIRST PRIZE!!!

A week later a journalist came to our school and was going to interview me because one of my art teachers had told them about me and my talents.
