cat + dog = luv

I'd never thought I'd see this happen with my kitty and doggie. I think Mac lay down first and Lucian plopped right next to him and used his head as a pillow. How cute! And they even allowed me to take the photo proof! As soon as I ran to get my cell phone to take a pic, they scrambled. Boo.

I personally like using the dogs as my toe-warmers.

change of pace... but still on the search

I really want to post more frequently, but I don't want to use not having anything to show as an excuse for not posting. So... I've decided to make this a general/drawing blog, that is, until I finally find my muse... where ever, in what form, how ever it should happen.

Maybe the next time I drink, I will post a drawing again! heehee

For now, I've had a lot of things on my mind, for various reasons.

drinking and drawing

Back from the dead!

I am sorry to have neglected you for this long, dear blog. I have dedicated my free time towards the enhancement of my brain juices with online lectures and projects and late night coding. It's for the best. It's just one more step towards the goal of finally finding my muse.

Anyway, Joel and I stayed home last night since we were supposed to be expecting heavy rains and high winds from Hanna, but she turned out to be a puss. Friggin weather forecasters! We bought some beers and a pizza and watched August Rush (a sappy, feel-good movie) and the end of the Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, and this hilarious show called Z Rock!! LOL The IFC HD channel is my new favorite!! Especially since Comcast decided to take away our Free HBO HD and Stars HD onDemand!!!! Bastards! And we didn't even get to watch No Country for Old Men before they yoinked it away from us. I hate Comcast.

So, in the middle of shows, I was compelled to draw something for some odd reason. I went online and found this cute pic of a pomeranian puppy. I picked up a piece of paper and a pen and there it is. So sad that I have to be in a tipsy state of mind to come up with something to post. Just like the old masters, right? Except they were probably on absinthe and opium.

Cheers!

So, can I use a new nephew as an excuse for not completing my Rihanna drawing? LOL I am so bad. This journal has turned into a list of excuses. I'm screwed!

And another bragging photo... this is a gladiola in my yard. Isn't it kewl!?! I've never seen yellow and purple flowers! (I'm an amateur gardener, ok!?) I think it's so pretty and so wierd how soil and fertilizer and whatever affects plants because last year they were bright RED. I did transplant them to a shadier location this year. I wonder if that had anything to do with it?

overdue!

I really have no excuse for my neglect of this blog. I have been keeping busy with many projects and homework, and so the only time I really have to draw is before bed. And apparently drawing makes me sleepy. I am still trying to complete a drawing of Rihanna in my sketchbook that I started a few nights ago, but in the middle of it, I fell asleep!! haha I'll post it when it's done. Once I clean up the stray sleep-doodle marks.

As always, I am going to post a photo of something ELSE that can sort of count for something artsy-craftsy...here's a photo of some cupcakes I made for my sis-in-law's baby shower. I totally yoinked this idea (the baby face ones) from someone else off the web, so I can't really take credit for it, but I did it. They tasted yummy (red velvet), but I really need to find a frosting recipe. The convenient store bought icing is what I normally use, so in the hot, humid South, this icing tends to melt!!!

"Bring Your Dog to Work Day" is this Friday June 20

Since I work at home now, "Bring Your Dog to Work Day" is everyday for me!! :)

Lots of stuff going on lately, so I haven't had time to draw anything. And I want to paint my house this weekend, before I change my mind on colors again.

For some reason I have a ton of sketches of Joel...most of where he is playing Xbox 360... I guess it's because I can count on him being in one position for an extended period of time!

I need to try something other than pencil to draw with. I like using the fine point microns...or a nice fine point ball pen. I dig the fine points! Just have to dig mine up! (they're probably dried out...)
