24th of june

on friday i headed into the city for a weekend of fun and much needed escape.  it just so happened that i got to have both well celebrating the birthday of one fabulous miss rachel.

the above is 2 of the 6 pages of quick sketches done on my bart ride.  there were so many giants shirts everywhere that i was slightly sad that i wasn't also heading to the game. but you know what?

portrait 23

i didnt really have time today to draw anything besides my portrait for the day, so that will have to suffice.  i was creative in other ways though. like being awesome at vacuuming. and like actually putting sheets on my bed. and re-arranging all the crap that was on my bed so that it's no longer there. also its really late. i need to sleep!

22nd

it was really nice temperature-wise today, so it felt really nice to relax a bit. but it also was great to actually want to do something like obsessively clean the house as well as i could. well i didn't do much besides cleaning the bathroom, dusting and cleaning all the mirrors in the house. but then again, we're out of furniture polish and it wasn't cool enough to make me want to vacuum. but there's always tomorrow for that.

it was extra nice to clean since i was the only one home for a few hours...

comics are hard!

note: this was the post i was going to do yesterday.

i spent a majority of the day wallowing in the heat. but i also spent a portion looking at historical references for the comic project with rach. i feel like i could drown in all the possible info. so i've come to the conclusion that writing a historical comic (historical in the sense that the characters are set down in a very specific time period and must still adhere to the rules and social complexities of their settings) is hard.  but thank you amazon and my no money I've found a few sources that could be very exciting to flip through or you know, actually read.  i'm pretty excited about checking out if the local bibliotech has some of these resources. but i'm also pretty sad cause i'd rather work on getting this info down instead of reading the pile of novels i've already checked out of the library.  if only i actually felt like reading! if only i could finish a book in an hour! oh the horror that i read incredibly slowly but have equally incredible comprehension as a result!

anyways. portrait in the next post since i haven't drawn it yet.

instead have some james bard with a bg since i didnt draw coli or any of the other characters from this endeavor.

today's failures

blogger won't post my images today but hopefully the issue will be resolved soon. til then you'll just have to trust that i drew some stuff today. like a pic of bard since rach inspired me with her awesome post today.

tensions flare in the summer heat

you know how people say that tensions flare in the heat? its really true. well it sure helps to have MONTHS of tension build up before hand, but anyways.

today was a really bad day. except that i had a donut for breakfast. that's pretty awesome.
