If your writing is as good as your art, it will be great. You should post it here to get valuable input from other writers. When you do, be sure to let me know. I'll spread the word to my friends so you can get some good crits.

Mika Turim-Nygren replies: "I would love to, but am not allowed by my parents for security issues. You see, I am hoping to get my story published someday in the near future, so posting it on the internet would really work against that goal. Thanks very much for the kind words. "

Hello... I was just wondering about and stumbled across your gallery.. You have some really nice work...I especially like your line work.... Anyway, chack out my gallery some time if you want to!

Mika Turim-Nygren replies: "Hehe, wondering or wandering? Thanks about the line work, it's something I work on since I don't consider it my forte. I will try to stop by "

hey there Mika Turim-Nygren,

i love all your artwork and you are so cool! i am a junior in high school, i play the C flute, and i play the alto flute! i'm writing a story too but i bet it won't be as yours! I adore Tolkien and also am a big fan of Mercedes Lackey, Ursula Le Guin, Phillip Pullman, and Garth Nix, to name a few. My favorite sculpture of all time is Nike of Samothrace, my favorite art movement is impressionism; my favorite painters are Van Gogh, Cezanne, Monet, Rosa Bonheur, and Caravaggio. we have so much in commmon and i seriously am not lying! i also love beethoven and mozart's work! i have some art too but i can't seem to find out how to get it on the computer? whatever, but your work is the bestest i had ever seen!!

Mika Turim-Nygren replies: "Wow, that's a lot of coincidences... lol. Thanks for commenting!"

Hey there, i think your art is so totally awesome!!! I love it! To tell you the turth we actually have a few things in common... All of those things you like up the top is the same as me!!! Your art is....No words can explain it!

Your gallery if fantastic! I found your gallery by accident when I clicked too soon. I was a bit confused why there were no Mod's Choice in your gallery. I saw at least eight that should of gotten it and the rest should of at least been considered for it! Anyways after I saw your gallery I just had to leave a comment. Awesome work. I realy wish I could get the same kind of quality you do.

Mika Turim-Nygren replies: "Aww, that's really sweet! Thanks so much. I actually did get my first mod's choice (on the Spring Fairy pen-and-ink pic), just a couple weeks ago, and it made me ecstatic. Glad to know it wasn't a fluke. PS: I know this sounds random, but I really like your name."

If you hadn't said you were in junior highschool, I would've never guessed. Your talent is amazing- you're very advanced for your age! Wow... I love the colors and the drawings and (I could go on and on, but I won't)

Mika Turim-Nygren replies: "Does my bio still say I'm a junior? I thought I changed it, I'm a senior now...but thanks a lot, that's really sweet."

You have beautiful pictures here! Very nice work

WOW!!! Nice drawings I have not been impressed like this for a long time THANK YOU FOR IT!!!!
Love your work and keep it up!

I know my XMAS greeting was a little late for you but where I'm at it's still going on. And before I miss it again, have a happy new year!

Mika Turim-Nygren replies: "Aww, thanks! I'm actually Jewish, so I celebrated a couple weeks ago, but I do celebrate Christmas with the Christain side of my family in a secular way (i.e., just the presents part ) Happy Holidays to you, too!"

Merry Christmas, Mika!
