So through my mum I got myself a portrait comission.
Nothing major, a watercolour for a christmas presents of two boys.
Et Voila.

I'm not dead!

Just really bad creativity block?
I blame the painting....you know the one...the evil one....perspectives off on those damnable jellybean houses....Will be working on it all weekend.
Bright side.... I coloured in more of my all but forgotten food drawings. And will have more to post later.

sketchin

I had about ten minutes today when there were no customers, and all the shirts were folded and pretty....so I tried drawing. I really should do this more often, just quick sketches, doodles. I miss doodling.

BoyWonder bag

Dumping photos from my crap camera today, realized I had completely forgotten to post this! So this was the finished product pencil case/makeup bag I made so many months ago. My sewing abilities aren't exactly store quality, but I'm learning... now if I actually sat down at the machine more often and practiced...I should make clothes or something.

But!! the cours eis now over, I am esl certified...and while I was in classes I had my sketchbook! and over time this developed. It is in part taken by a drawing by Jill Fog. Right Here!! Made me think of a bird-man.

People Watching

I should really go out more. Just sit places, watch people. try and draw them. Saturday night was lisa's gong away party, she's going to Ireland! Lucky Duck. Anyways, duting the course of the party I got to be amused by Lisa's very drunk and supposedly straight cousin hit on Kate Urquehart (I think I'm very much spelling her name wrong here) Anyways, it was....fun. I tried to draw them... Kate was very stiff, poor dear. The cousin however kept moving....so she looks sort of like a sketched out lecher.

With or Without?

Yay for being prodictive! Yes, I'm actully doing something today... Okay, doing art trade things, and this one i should have been working on for ages but sad little thing got tucked aside. But I will get t done this week! So anywaysss...shouldn't even be postingthis here I think, but I need opinions! With? Or Without? It's going to be embroidered...I'm thinking, change purse? or....makeup bag? I dunno.

Decsion making?

Okay! Woo! So there are some really good looking courses offered at the Anna Templeton Center come Febuary! Now problem is I can likely only afford to do one of them. So! Portrait drawing? Or Figure drawing? I love both....but chances are I could use the portrait drawing class to advance my skills and then maybe get into doing some comissions? Also...and I know this is a stupid question to ask but I have no one here to make benign decisions for me anymore. I am going to do a mini-project on food. Should I..... use a little pink recycled sketchbook with 25 pages? Orrr, a pretty black one same size but with 100 pages.... Seems logical to me to use the 25 page one. Cause then one can feel accomplish after filling it and move onto another one! Problem is I was thinking of using the small one for soemthing else but I'm not likely to ever startt hat other idea. Yes.... yes, these are the sorts of decisions that plague my mind. Sad isn't it?

Ever wonder?

So it's past two am, I'm sitting here.... jobless yet again, lacking something integral to life... what's that you say? Inspiration...yes, I have no inspiration, let alone Drive.... I do however have a big ole list of things I need to do to improve my life...amongst other less important things though...they still need to get done to make things easier Like...get my dog nuetered. On the bright side he's a little better behaved since I started putting him on the tredmill. Dear Cesar Millan you are my hero. So anyways...tv's going.....and have you even seen those call thsi 1-800 number Art Institute commercials? You ever wonder about doing them? I looked it up, it's 27 lessons through correspondace, and costs 3,000 dollars. On one hand, I'd ben interested in doing it....on the other. I think wtf did you go to four years of Art School for?! But you know what? I don't always know that I got alot out of my four years at Grenfell.... Really through no fault of my own. Honestly? I haven't gotten a lot out of the past like..six years of my life. Some things sure of course! Well...nice Uni friends... went to England....and Thailand. And I know I shouldn't take anything I HAVE gotten for granted. I donn't.... I just know if I was different I could have gotten a whole lot more. I could have done more. Gotten better grades, met more people, gone more places.... Okay.... so that's my ranting for... uhm, this week? No garuntees it won't happen again. Well not really ranting...more..negative thinking.... But it leads to positive! I've got a plan.... just need to stick with it. But.... >,> to take an art class?

Harder then it looks ><

So since Christmas I have been periodically working on my bjd trying to customise him. It....is not easy. Despite the frustration it is fun1 So I plan on wiping away the faceups I didand redoing them...or trying something different.I'm thinking I want the boy to look natural. I planned on using the open eyed head on him. >,> But I think I really liked the 'romantic' head more... Just not keen on the crater where the horn goes.So anyways!! Pretty pictures I had to take out in the cold cold wind..
