Nacido y criado en Santiago de Chile, pero viviendo y estudiando/trabajando en Canadá, para obtener mi Ph.D. en química. Bienvenido a mi espacio de deviantART, donde publico el resultado de mi hobby más querido. :)

Born and raised in Santiago, Chile, but currently living and studying/working in Canada to get my Chemistry Ph.D. Welcome to my deviantART space, where I publish the results of my dearest hobby. :)
Interests
Hello folks! These are the updates for today:

- No entries yet for my Graphite Challenge 2012, although I know of several people who already started on it. The deadline is still several months away (December 1). I have patience :)

- Speaking of graphite, my latest piece features it. Well, I've spoken in countless occasions about how much I hate graphite. Well, the many exchanges with my graphite lover friends (especially Paula =pbird12, but that also includes Nathalie =LilaeaBluecoat, Kris *HyperionDreams, Gary *Rockinfroggi, Christina *acjub, Robyn *robdolbs, etc.) have helped me upgrade from hate to love-hate relationship. :giggle: About this drawing. Well, I enjoyed it, seriously. I realized I had been getting several things wrong with graphite, and now I have a better idea of how to do them. I used to have some big problem with my values, but now this one flowed pretty smoothly. From light to dark, taking care not to overdo things. My next drawing will be in pastel again, but there are several other things I want to do, like:
   - charcoal
   - a big pastel guy (18×24), most likely another of Daddy's landscaping photos
   - colour pencil
   - mixed watercolour-pastel
   Yes I will do graphite again, in case you are wondering. Hopefully before the year ends. :)

- I will be away starting tomorrow, I have to attend a conference in Brazil. I will be back in Canada by Thursday next week. But I'll be back in Chile next year. Maybe for good :)

- Thanks to everyone who have asked about Daddy. He resisted well his first chemo cycle, has a second one scheduled. He's in a better mood now, seems a lot better than when I arrived in Chile. Too bad I'll have to leave him now but Mom will take good care of him. Things look a lot better now than they did four weeks ago, we are a lot more optimistic.
Hi folks, updates for this Monday morning:

- My 'postcards' arrived a lot earlier than I thought and both Romy and Nathalie loved them. Great!

- I finally reduced my message count to zero. Yay!

- Last week I've been pretty much in hell. We found out Daddy's situation is way more complicated than we thought, and we still don't know whether he'll make it through, although hope is the last thing to be lost. I've had to help take care of him. Fortunately in the weekend he's been feeling somewhat better, but things still look grim. On the other hand, when we received the most terrible blows last week, all three of us have been together. Thanks to those who have asked. If you are a believer I'll appreciate if you can join us in prayer. If not, I'll appreciate you keep us in your thoughts.

- For the reason above, I haven't been able to enjoy myself much, let alone draw. Although I know a drawing will make Dad happy, so I'll try to do something before I leave home.
- Arrived home, writing from my old bed in my old home, now my parents' home.

- 2,360+ stuff in my dA inbox, and counting. I'll catch up, be patient with me.

In my case, it's just the capitalization change I always wanted to do. I had chosen "arielrgh" because I didn't know you could do capitals :P But now it's okay, and I see a lot of people changing :confused:
