Is it too early to ask stuff for my birthday?

Posted on Tuesday, 15 March

Hello, my birthday is on July, but I’ve been wanting some things, and since I am not rich enough to buy them, being out of school and jobless and wanting to make art and all, I am hoping people (Hello, friends and relatives!) can start giving their presents early.

1. A new copy of Einstein’s Dreams.

I prefer the one with rough edges since that’s what I used to have plus it’s small, but the newer versions might do. My copy hasn’t been returned by my friend Tin for three years now, and though I gave her her own copy, I feel that I would never get mine back. 

2. Watercolor from St. Cuthbert’s Mill, cold press, 300 gsm

You can buy this at National bookstore and it’s very inexpensive, but if you can get me a big one from England, that’d be nice. 

3. Sumi drawing ink, lots of it

4. India ink 

5. drawing journals

I do try to limit my paper consumption but right now, I am in need of a drawing journal. 

6. graphite sticks, the dark velvety kind, but I hope they don’t break easily. This is because I do not like using charcoal.

7. Artworks

I dream of becoming a big shot collector one day so help me fatten my small collection

8. gift checks for book stores because my brain is getting dull, and that means I have to read books. I also have to stock my shelves with philosophy, history and art books in preparation for the future.

9. paintbrushes, nylon or sable

10. Canon 60D

I still have dreams (or nightmares) about taking photos.  

Thank you. This is pretty much what I want for Christmas too. Money is also welcome, but it’s really weird receiving money from friends. It’s just weird. Maybe you can buy one of my drawings? I just have to get around posting new ones. Teach me how to take a proper photo?
