Hello, everyone. I hope you all had a happy and safe new year. I hope that this year is the start of something great for all of us. And I pray to God 2015 is better than 2014. All I pray for is financial stability, a part time minimum wage job, and adequate health and financial stability to all my friends ^^;

So, first off, the last couple weeks have been REALLY unproductive art wise. I don't even know if I should promise anymore, because whenever I promise something, I know my circumstances will prevent me from getting it done so long as I am at home. I am trying to get things done, and I will try to be all caught up by three kings day.

Next, I did manage to open my secret checking account thanks to my grandmother. I also opened a savings. Best part, I'm able to link both to my PayPal, so the money can transfer from PayPal to the Citizens bank accounts, and my stepdad will never know. So, this year looks like a pretty good year already, financially.

Third, this is where I need the foreigners help. Remember my coloring book project I announced? If not, well, here's what I went with. International themed. The book will be an American eagle traveling the world and meeting animals from the countries he visits. Each country will have one page with a coloring activity of the land mark, eagle, and country's animal, and one page of activity. The activity may be 'spot the difference' of a second landmark picture, a maze, maybe matching things, etc. Something a little kid can do. So far, here are the countries I want to do, followed by a WIP list of landmark cities/buildings and animals.

USA: NYC or DC; Eagle
Canada: ???; ???
Mexico: ???; ???
Brazil: ???; Tropical bird
Chile: ???; ???
UK: Big Ben; ???
Spain: ???; ???
France: Paris; ???
Germany: ???; ???
Italy: Colleseum, Vatican, or Pisa; ???
Sweden: ???; ???
Morocco: ???; ???
Ghana: ???; ???
D.R. of Congo: ???; ???
South Africa: ???; Lion
Saudi Arabia: ???; Camel or other desert animal
India: ???; Elephant or Cow.
Russia: ???; Hedgehog
China: ???; ???
South Korea: ???; ???
Japan: Golden Pavilion of Mt. Fuji; ???
Australia: Sydney opera house; Kangaroo.

Now, as you can see, the ??? is where I'm drawing a blank on a landmark or animal. Now, Now, I'm asking anyone who either lives in or has been to that country to help me out. I want it to be something that's like: "An eagle in front of the statue of liberty (or white house)? That's America most definitely". Same with "A kangaroo in front of the Sydney opera house? Australia, has to be." Basically, a common animal and landmark that you look at and are like: "Yep, that's my country."

Also, may take a few more country suggestions. I'm not gonna do every single country, but trying to be diverse as possible here ^^;

Either way, can't start this project until I've finished art for other people.

Well... Gotta go. Happy New Year.

P.S.: Sick today, so be patient with responses to things...
