Happy belated Valentine's Day and happy Singles Awareness Day (which if you didn't know is Feb 15). Here's a throwback to some art I did in 2014 and 2013 for Valentine's Day. Regardless of whether you have a significant other or not, I hope you all have a wonderful day and know that you are loved by the one that matters. The one above. ๐โ๐ผ ๐น #throwbackthursday #throwback #valentinesday #webstagram #valentine #tbt #tb #heart #hearts #red #art #arts #arty #artsy #instaart #DailyArt #ArtoftheDay #instaartist #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #artist #CrystaltheCC

It's high time I show you guys my progress over the past month. (I seriously can't believe it's been a month already since this started!) I love how it's turning out so far. I think this is becoming the most colorful page in my sketchbook. ๐ Still got a ways to go before it's done, but it's almost there! I hope you enjoy~โ ๐นโ #art #draw #sketch #instaart #ArtoftheDay #artsy #instaartist #sketchbook #DailyArt #zentangle #mandalaart #mandala #mandalas #zentangleart #zenart #zendala #mandalala #mandalalove #zentangles #stabilo #mandaladesign #zentanglemandalalove #mandaladrawing #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #artists #100ThemesChallenge #Crystal_100TC #Crystal_100challenge #CrystaltheCC
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: November 27, 2018 Contact: Evan Greer, 978-852-6457, press@fightforthefuture.org
#CyberMonday wasnโt the only major Internet event this week. Internet activists, startups, celebrities, and major web companies are preparing for DeadlineForNetNeutrality.com, a final Internet-Wide Day of Action this Thursday, November 29th, ahead of the December 10th deadline for the House to act on the Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution (H.J.Res. 129) to reverse the FCCโs resoundingly unpopular repeal of net neutrality protections.
The effort is backed by musicians and celebrities like Hollywood star Evangeline Lilly (Ant-Man and the Wasp, The Hobbit, Lost), Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello, and EDM star Bassnectar, along with startups and major web companies like online selling platform Etsy, delivery service Postmates, publishing platform Tumblr, Private Internet Access VPN, popular blog BoingBoing, domain registrar Namecheap, search engine StartPage, and speaker company Sonos.
On Thursday thousands of Internet users will sign an open letter to Congress containing a heartfelt plea to overturn the FCCโs repeal. Then users will be asked to submit an โI support net neutralityโ photo to show House reps the human face of net neutrality supporters. Over 2000 photos have already submitted and activists have pledged to flood lawmakersโ social media feeds with photos between now and the deadline. While the open letter is addressed to all of Congress, Fight for the Future will be putting additional pressure on the handful of remaining Democrats who have yet to support the CRA despite the partyโs repeated promise to help restore net neutrality.
โThese folks are taking on the telecom lobby machine and fighting for a free, open, and uncensored Internet,โ said Tom Morello, โNet neutrality is the free speech fight of this generation and time is running out. Itโs time for the Internet to rise up again.โ
โThis is not a partisan issue, the battle for the net is a fight for our most basic freedoms. People from across the entire political spectrum can agree that we donโt want anyone to control or manipulate what we see and do on the Internet,โ added actress Evangeline Lilly.
โNet neutrality is not dead yet. Not even close,โ said Evan Greer, deputy director of Fight for the Future (pronouns: she/her), โBut as the clock runs out for this Congress to act, we have an opportunity to show the entire world which elected officials are willing to fight for net neutrality, and which ones decide to sit on their hands and let big telecom companies take control over what we can see and do on the Internet.โ

I'm finished with Theme # 1 Name! ๐ Took me quite a bit longer than my target goal, but what can I say? Life happens. ๐ท Here's where I tell you a bit about the scene. When I first made the list of themes, I picked "Name" as the first theme because it stood out to me; I thought it would be a great starting point for the project as it would give me a chance to introduce myself and what's in the name. The name itself being Crystal; short for Crystal-the-CC being my artist alias. I came up with this name a few years ago when I was making a DeviantArt account, and because I've really liked the name Crystal (for as long as I can remember), it's just stuck with me. ๐ท Since the time I started creating characters, I named my first one (on the right) after the obvious, Crystal, simply because I liked the name. The character on the left is also named similarly, but more so because the character is my fursona, or my animal personification. As for the object in the middle, it IS a crystal; the thing which I've named myself and 2 OCs after. ๐ท In retrospect, I think I've always had an affinity for crystals and precious gemstones, but didn't realize it until more recent years. I still like the name today. I can't see myself having any other artist alias other than Crystal-the-CC, as I think it very much fits me and what I like to do the most: create creatures. ๐ท Aside, I thought I'd share my old drawing of this theme as well. Looking at it and my new one side-by-side just astonishes me. I don't know what else to say other than that I'm very happy with the improvements that have been made thus far. ๐ท I hope you guys enjoy what I have to share! There will be many more of these to come (99 more to be exact) so stay tuned! ๐ ๐ โจ
OAC Day 8: Ivy the Witch! ๐๐ง๐ฝ๐งน๐โ Iโve been feeling like drawing witches so I wanted to make this my last prompt for October. Swipe โก๏ธ to see a previous iteration of this theme. ๐น https://www.instagram.com/p/CHeOYfmDx_l/?igshid=1cdkagdldwwvn
Theme 4 on Friendship is complete! ๐ I like how this piece has a subliminal yin-yang quality to it; it was unintentional, but it works. ๐นโ Feel free to interpret this piece however you like. I have no idea what these two friends were laughing about, but Iโd love to hear your take on it. Also, I did color the sky a light blue, but I think it got washed out in this photoโฆ Thatโs something Iโll keep in mind for next time. I hope you enjoy! Thereโs more coming~
