My Bio
My name is Merlin ... yeah, I wish. It's Karin, but ever since I was small, I have gone by a name pertaining to my latest obsession. Some of my ongoing obsessions include Les Miserables, Lord of the Rings, and age-of-sail stuff generally. (The BBC's Merlin is the latest addition to my collection of obsessions and nicknames) I live on the East Coast of Canada, where I live the glorious life of a student. I do my best to avoid doing too much work while still passing my classes. I've succeeded so far.

I love travel, reading and ... life! Also the arts, but less for the "analyse and study" than for the "pretty." I find it impossible to be academic about art. My schoolbag, at the moment, is home to my stuffed sheep, Scotty (he wears a tartan hat and scarf), and my desk is adorned by a stuffed gargoyle, Aloysius (named in honour of Brideshead Revisited). I am a French major, and I adore sailing, fencing and horseback riding, though that last is a new experience to me, having started lessons this year. In short, I am a trifle obsessive, my friends call me eccentric, and I don't know what my enemies call me.

Current Residence: University (where I spend my time evading work by drawing fanart)

Favourite Movies
Master and Commander
Favourite Writers
At the moment, Victor Hugo. But that's bound to change once I get my hands on more books.
Tools of the Trade
Coloured Pencils And Whatever Else Is At Hand.
I'm wearing a puffy white shirt, a grey vest, a pair of high boots, black trousers, and a tricolor sash. My barricade boy costume is complete. I've got a mirror in my pocket identifying me as Joly, though I lost the flowy hanky my friend lent to me (I plan to take her out for coffee as an apology. It was a very nice hanky.). And I am about as excited for this evening as a six-year-old. My roommate steadfastly refused to come trick-or-treating in our residence with me, but she was a good sport about helping to decorate. Her one request was that we add a Debussy tombstone to our floor's 'cemetery'. So now we have Debussy, Beethoven and ... Hora

This Muro thing is way too fun. (Was too lazy to hook up my tablet. Does this count as fingerpainting?)

Aww, nice! :D I say it counts as fingerpainting if you used your fingers alone to create it ... this would probably be like semi-fingerpainting or some other vague term like that. ;)

... I kind of want to ruffle his hair and give him a hug. Is that wrong?
Of course not. I want to ruffle his hair and hug him, too.

Hey there, welcome to dA! :wave: Didn't know you'd established a base here, until I saw your comment on Despard's thread.

I see you've been drawing. Keep it up!
Hi! Thanks! I hadn't established a base here until ... let's see, day before yesterday I think. You're Abaissé's Cary, right?
Yup, that be me. :D
Welcome to DA.

You sound interesting - I can't wait to see your art. I think I'll watch you.
