I am incredibly honored to say that I've won first price in the Best Amateur Comic Book Artist competition held by the Dutch Comic Book Museum in Groningen with my one-shot comic Home.

Home - one shot comic by kieltje

I honestly didn't expect to win, especially after I saw the other entries I was up against. The level of talent was very high this year.

I attended the price ceremony in Groningen with :iconmangogloor: and :iconkellodrawsalot: yesterday and the judges said very kind things about my comic.
I won a lot of lovely prices.
I got to attend a workshop where I got lots of very information about the profession of comic book artist. I got a stack of free comic books, as well as a publication with all the contest entries in it. A weekend holiday for 6 people. And my entry will be on display at the museum for a year. :D

Again, this is an incredible honor, and, I hope, a step forward towards my dream of making comics professionally.

Thank you MangoGloor Kellodrawsalot and marpie for your friendship. I couldn't have done this without your support. Let's all make our dreams come true!

Painting. Cat walks up to see what I'm up to. Steps on pallet. I freak out. She freaks out, runs. Blue paw prints all over my floor and carpet.

Cats are dicks...

Happy new year everyone!

Boy, 2011 was quite a big year for me. I've managed to overcome a depression, improved in my studies, and managed to make some real close friends for the first time in a very, very long time. I can honestly say this was one of the best years of my life so far.

Ofcourse considering how bad 2008-2010 were for me, the only real direction things could go was up. I had literally hit rock bottom on almost every part of my life. I was depressed, lonely and failing college.
But thanks to the constant support of all my friends and family I've managed to pull through.
I can't thank everyone enough for what they've done for me. For the first time in years I feel like a complete person again, and I'm looking towards the future now!

My dog Chien died a few hours ago. He was 14 years old.

He hadn't eaten or drank in the last 4 days. Visits to the vet didn't seem to help. Yesterday he was rushed to the emergency clinic because he couldn't even stand on his own anymore.
Once there he was hooked up to an IV straight away. His pulse was way too fast and he has fluid on the lungs. My parents went to see him one last time and his heartbeat had dropped drastically and he was bleeding from the nose and mouth. He looked at them one last time and then passed away.
We're burying him today.

Chien has been an integral part of my family for the past 14 years. And even though he was a grumpy old sod and a total spaz, we all loved him dearly. He will be missed.
