I live to draw. Watercolors and my wacom tablet are the tools of my trade, and the resulting fruit of my artistic endeavors can be seen on http://www.purpletophat.com
Hobbies? I've got plenty, although I admit to having a marked preference for snapping pictures all over the place, listening to music all day long, and wearing top hats whenever I can.
Food. I love it too. Eating it, cooking it, baking it... I may be a health nut, but I'm first and foremost a frenchwoman. :D

About me: Hello there, and welcome to profile! My name is Celine and I'm an artist. I started drawing before I knew how to speak, and after many meanderings, have officially begun to sell my work on September 1st, 2006. The journey so far? Has been pretty damn cool.
These are not complete pictures, just cropped bits until everything is finished and copyrighted.
I've been toying with the idea of doing a series of small 8x8 acrylic paintings featuring random portraits. Her face was amongst the first that popped in my sketchbook.
He's got the devil in him. This one is going to be uber dramatic. Alabaster pale skin, red hair, black wings and black billowing fabric. Inspired by both versions of the Devils' Trill--Vivaldi's and Vanessa Mae's.
It is my goal to create engaging and approchable character based fantasy art, drawing inspiration from mythology, fairy tales, comics, manga, and other artists whose work allowed me to dream in the first place. As an artist, I aim to explore relationships (with others and within oneself) through the lens of sensuality, emotion and expression. As a human being, I hope that my vision of the world brings you strength, joy, comfort and a measure of playfulness.
I like to draw pretty and often naked things that you'll hopefully want to hug and smish and drag home with you. As a bonus, viewing my art might make you happy, or at least not totally miserable. Unless you really hate angels, nipples, babies and happiness.
If you truly find yourself overwhelmed with hate at the thought of the above mentioned things, may I suggest you stop playing on the internet for a while and go seek help immediately? Otherwise...please carry on!

Thanks for the friendship! I've written a comic that is competing on Zuda this month, and I'm working hard at becoming Zuda (DC Comics') first female lead to win the competition. If you want a shot at one of two Pat's or Geno's gift certificates, while helping to raise money for the Police Survivor's Fund, then read and follow the strip below. Clicking on the strip will bring you right to the Zuda page. Thanks for your support!
Whats up frenchie! I heard from the Rivera bird that you got your San Diego table. Congrats, I will be sure to pop by harass you scare your customers and purchase absolutely nothing...if you have food....i may even it it. So please dont bring your natural hippy stuff.
Haha, yeah. They're a little balder than they should be though, because we had trouble with the mama plucking their feathers. We had to separate her :( But the Daddy takes care of them really well and they're very personable sweeties!
Hey, belated Happy Birthday! I have one in a few weeks and trust me, not only has my hair gotten better (thanks to A*) but what's under it is infinite amount of wisdom (Okay, so not always concerning men...). May the coming year present you with success in your art and lots of love. Love Linda
Happy Minorly Belated Birthday! I can't write nufink worthwhile after an overnight shoot, so here's a little verse stolen from the Bard, Robert Burns:
But for thy friends, and they are mony, Baith honest men and lasses bonnie, May couthie fortune, kind and cannie, In social glee, Wi' mornings blythe and e'enings funny Bless them and thee!
Hello Celine, I cannot believe it has already been a year. I remember last year your birthday did not show up. I hope today has been a beautiful one for you.
