Artist Pablo Picasso surprised a burglar at work in his new chateau. The intruder got away, but Picasso

told the police he could do a rough sketch of what he looked like. On the basis of his drawing, the police

arrested a mother superior, the minister of finance, a washing machine, and the Eiffel tower.

If there was anything that Amaya Kuro hated more than trains in this world she had yet to meet it. They were stuffy,

dirty, and noisy and locked you inside them for what could be hours. The butterflies tying knots in her stomach gave her

no ease as she stood on the platform facing the old steam engine. She did not want to be here, not at this station, not at

Hogwarts, not in London and definitely not in England. A wet miserable place that always smelt of smog, she missed the

clear blue sky and the smell of clean fresh rain from her home now so far away.

With a look of composure like a character out of a Jane Austin movie, she boarded the old engine and progressed down

one of the bustling aisle trying to find an empty spot. The noise of the holiday catch up was deafening, she hastened her

steps aiming for the compartment down the end, praying that at least this one would be free.

Sighing as she eased her way into the seat closet to the window of the empty compartment. Her back against the wall

allowing her gaze to reach the entire compartment, she did not want any surprises. Relaxing her grip on the leather

bound book she had in her hand, she opened it to a page, removing the long silver bookmark and moving into her read-

ers slouch.

"What beauty do we have here?" slithered a voice, Kuro raised her eyes above the rim of her book revealing a crop of

platinum hair upon a cold face. She could not tell how long he had been there, so engaged by what Baggins would do

next that she had lost track of time. Disinterested in the blonde youth she returned her gaze again to her book.

The youth obviously agitated by the dismissal called out to his larger companions bringing the two lumbering into the

room.

" My name is Malfoy, Draco Malfoy, you probably heard of me or at least my family and these two here are Crabbe and

Goyle." he proclaimed showing no subtly in his words or even his gaze. After a moment he continued. "Well this is very

rude, did you mother ever teach you manners?"

Kuro paused for a moment, returned her bookmark to her novel and placed it on the seat beside her before looking di-

rectly across the compartment to Malfoy.

"Kuro, Amaya Kuro, 12 years old, born in Kent, orphaned at age 1, adopted and raised in Tokyo Japan, and spent last 5

years studying magic at DropBear Academy in Australia. Yes they start young there. Anything else you would like to

know Mr Malfoy or may I return to reading my book?" cited Kuro, she hated being abrupt but there was something off-

putting about him. The youth stood calmly and walked over to Kuro bending down so his face was in line with hers.

"No" he said before walking out the door, novel in hand. Crabbe and Goyle held Kuro back as Malfoy made his way

down the hall, calling for them to lock the compartment. Kuro screamed, hitting the door and walls with all her might

trying to budge the lock but to no avail. Defeated she allowed herself to slide to the floor bringing her knees to her face

and cradling them.

The Rain outside only mimicking the tears rolling down her face.

Step 2: Fill the transparent layer with any col-

or you want. (I choose black.)

Step 3: Use the rectangle select

tool and position it where you

want.

Depending on how thick you

want the size of the border to

be.

Page 11: Artifex Informer Rose Edition

Step 4: Erase everything into the rectangle. It should be something

like this.

Step 5: You can erase some of the black

parts.

If you did everything right it should turn

out like this.

Also you can add in anything else you

want.

A whole month has gone by since we started tweeting the Truth about the signature world! From 3rd of Feb– 4th of Mar

tweets are all here for you to enjoy!

3rd Feb: Signatures are often 10% Technique, 10 % Creativity and 80% a really lucky mistake

4th Feb: Take Criticism into your thinking but never your heart it does not have a place there.

5th Feb: Often your best work ... you forgot to save the editing file (psp, xcf etc)

6th Feb: Just cause one person didn’t like it does not mean your signature was bad

7th Feb: The Simplest Signature can be better then a complex one

8th Feb: Most artists dislike their own work

9th Feb: Smudging and brushes are not always a good thing

10th Feb: Programs do not immediately make the quality of the signature, the Artists ability to use

that program does.

11th Feb: Save, Save and Saving your work can save headaches

12th Feb: People who are picky can usually make one themselves

13th Feb: Artists never stop learning

14th Feb: Different is good, they will remember your piece better that way

15th Feb: If you always copy other peoples work, then you work will always be a copy

16th Feb: When there is nothing left to learn, the world will become a lot duller.

17th Feb: Art is a meld of the mind, body & soul. Ur mind remembers how 2 do, Ur body knows how

2 do & your soul creates from the 2.

18th Feb: Sometimes the messier something is to work with the more fun you have.

19th Feb: Just because you cannot explain how it is art does not make it any less someone else's art

20th Feb: "Inspiration can come from anywhere, my glue stick was once an inspiration" - Artifex artist

21st Feb: You will always be amazed when one of your most basic fonts (not downloaded) is not

found on someone else's computer.

Page 13: Artifex Informer Rose Edition

Continued….

22nd Feb: A piece of art can be one very happy mistake

23rd Feb: "I work with 2 screens I will always b amazed @ how different 1 image can look btwn 1

screen & the next." - artifex.justgoo artist

24th Feb: As in everything there will be those who have after thoughts... Oh that's really cool but did-

n't I tell you I don't like cats?

25th Feb: Your best ideas come when there is no paper or computer around (but its amazing how

handy napkins are)

26th Feb: Old habits are hard to break but not unbreakable

27th Feb: "I never liked it when some1 says "Why is my work not like theirs?" Why should their work

be like someone else's & not there own?

28th Feb: "After drawing a tutorial i look back & forth from my art 2 their finished 1 & go where on

earth did i go wrong?" - artifex artist

29th Feb: The last day of the month lets you think back and acknowledge all you have done, and real-

ise how much you have yet to do.

1st Mar: Art is from the Heart

2nd Mar: Signatures use a design process like any Graphic, we use a brief, research

content, test ideas, & then present 4 critique until they like it

3rd Mar: You know you spend too much time online when someone asks you to take a picture and

you ask ingame or real life?
