The Beginning!

I could write a novel on my experience in Paris..but let's just say that Paris is incredible! All the hype and amazing stories I've heard about Paris kind of made me worry that my expectations would be too high and that my journey there wouldn't be nearly as people mentioned. However, it was all that and more!! it exceeded my expectations...the experiences was so amazing, and it wasn't even the main attractions that made it, it was the little encounters with random people, the cute cafes and living the life of Paris for 9 days!

I met someone here on Deviantart that really made my trip that much more enjoyable!!! Check her out at: [link] She was nice enough to show us around, shop with us, and share her stories living in the Paris life. Very inspiring! She made us special souvenirs, which were caricatures of Anastasia and me. Such a surprise, considering she only had a day to do it! Wow...check it out!

Also met two very nice artist randomly walking down the street of Paris with Anastasia...we all started talking and one of the guys, Richard, invited us to a restaurant (where he worked as a magician) While people eat, he goes around doing magic tricks for entertainment! It was quite "magical" to watch. Good times all around!

Oh and a cute little place that I thoroughly enjoyed was a book store called Shakespeare and Company....anyways yeah, great place!!

Here are some pics that I took while I was there, some days I couldn't take pics because my camera battery died, but you can see some of the events that I captured!

Mike Defeo's sculpture show was a huge success! A big turn out and the happiness on Mike's face was such a nice thing to see! He did it, his first show and in PARIS! How amazing is that. I know there were a few people interested in buying his work, I'll give you updates as I get them!

I also met the most amazing, talent in Paris. His name is Gerald!! [link] He works at the studio called Xilam Animation studios in Paris, creating wonderful animations! I got to visit the studio and met even more talented artist that I had the privilege to hang out with around Paris. Gerald really welcomed us to Paris and made it like home for us! Thanks to you!

Like I said, I could write a novel about all the experiences I had, but I should leave it simple. Thanks guys for making my trip memorable!!!

Hope you guys out there in the deviantart world are having a wonderful time in life! Keep smiling and try to think positively...You guys are amazing artist and such inspirations as well! Thanks for all the support, it truly is the best art community ever!

Much love to everyone,

Alena
