I did a post like this last year for 2008, so I thought it would be nice to do one for 2009 while getting ready for New Year's Eve celebrations!
- describe 2009 with 3 words:
Oh man... intense, hard & inspiring.
- which concerts did you visit in 2009?
Obi Best, The Bird & the Bee, No Doubt, and Paramore
- what was your favorite moment in 2009?
All of it. 2009 was totally amazing - completely life changing in every way. I worked so hard, shared so much love, and grew a lot. Lots of life lessons learned this year.
- which one was your favorite month?
Oh wow - February when I went to California! I went to an amazing concert, drove all over California with 2 awesome friends and my boyfriend, explored San Francisco, saw great art exhibits (Totoro and Coraline!), and so much more. Lots of snow too at Lake Tahoe - it was exciting!
- most influential people in 2009?
Hmm - I think I took a lot of inspiration from various illustrators and their progress. I was also inspired by a few ladies due to their fashion and attitude on life: Dita Von Teese, Betsey Johnson, Hayley Williams, and Lauren Luke.
- have you already made plans for traveling in 2010 - and if yes, where to?
So far the only plans I have are to visit friends in San Francisco and to go to Japan. Nothing is set in stone though! I know I'd like to visit somewhere with snow before Spring...! :)
- best book you read in 2009?
I wouldn't say it was the best book, but I did enjoy reading the Twilight series paired with the movies. hahah! Oh boy, what a mess.
- best film you saw in 2009?
Hmm - maybe Watchmen and Ponyo! I didn't see too many movies this year.
- 5 Musicians you listened to in 2009 too much!
According to my last.fm: Paramore, Hall & Oates, Taking Back Sunday, Halicali and The Black Ghosts.
- what are you looking forward to in 2010?
Moving forward with my illustration career, traveling, relaxing, maybe trying new hair colors - who knows! keeping up with my blog, and so much more :)
And one Picture From every Month :
You can view all the photos I shared in 2009 here, but these are my favs:
Hope you all have an amazing New Year's eve!
