Jared Followill tweeted me back =)

So uhm… first off, I apologize in advance if this entry comes off like something written by a 15-year-old teeny bopper (no offense to anyone), but I just got a tweet back from a band member of my all time favourite band right now. I’m having a major fan-girl-moment. If you’ve been following me, you know I’m a huge fan of Kings of Leon’s music (hence to my other drawings of them…) So uhm, I decided to draw the band’s bass player a while ago; Jared Followill. Mainly ‘coz I like how he plays the bass and I always like to learn his bass parts on guitar. Anyway, so today I finally finished the drawing of him and uploaded it on my deviantART gallery, then tweeted it for my followers to check it out. One of my followers said I should tweet it to Jared (‘coz he has an official verified twitter account), but I was like “Nah, I doubt he’ll even bother taking a look at it”. Still, I just decided to take a shot and tweeted it to him…Got a tweet back from him six minutes later… (Screen capture from my iPod)

Jared Followill tweeted me back...

And now I’m in lala-land. Dayum. I know it might not mean a thing to you, but it just feels very awesome to me, y’know…

Anyway, so here’s the drawing, which I just simply named “Young Followill”…lack of imagination when it comes to titles, I suppose!

Oh yeah, this is a charcoal drawing. I have no idea how much time I spent on it. Been working on it a little every day for the past week or so.

Alright…gonna call it a day now. What a way to wrap up this weekend. Knowing that one of the band members of my fave band checked out my drawing of him. *sigh* G’nite, you awesome people!
