random faces:

weird looking drawing of dorian:
my mom and verb watching raisin' cain perform:

june 05-07

Hooray! Totally back on track. "On the wagon" as it were.

june 6:
I went to a 25th wedding anniversary that was a surprise to me...as I had thought it was for different people than it was actually for. Good thing I hadn't given them the card yet! It was at a fancy restaurant and I drew this on the back of the menu. It is my lovely almost-sister-in-law.


june 5:
just some weird doodle with watercolour.


june 7:
scissors.

yay yay yay!

june 01-04

And I am caught up! These are not quite right, ie, I did a few on the 2nd and none on the 1st in actuality, but I am covered for each day so far and will attempt to be more in-line for the rest of the summer! The problem is that I am kind of living in two places at once, and one of them only has dialup. But enough with the excuses!

june 01:
a weird lady in a....ballet leotard of some sort? This was drawn by firelight!


june 02:
another of the same. she reminds me of miranda july, though that was unintentional.

june 03:
more with the ladies!
june 04:
I made dorian model for me while we were waiting for a play to start and his theatre buddies were laughing at him for being doomed to the fate of those who date art school kids. I was having problems with the face and decided to ink it, then lost interest as it was making it look worse. Then the play started, so I just added in more details in photoshop.

the rest of May!

I did get a bit behind here, but here's the rest of May! My goal for June is to start dating the drawings again and posting more often. But here goes! I didn't get quite to the end, I apologize.


May 22:
An old guy from a National Geographic magazine.


May 24:
What can be more exciting than hands? Not much.


May 25:
A weird little drawing of a girl.

May 26:
Based on a girl I was volunteering with.


May 28:
His name is Adam and I had to invent his mouth because he moved
.

catching up! (may 05-20)

Alright....I'll still be a few days behind, and I have two days' drawings at work that I'll need to go get and scan, but here we are!

May 5:
Drawings at the NAAM. the night before we moved out of the Dolphin, a few of us went to the naam, and I first drew some random girls at the table across from us, and then Heather.



may 6:
I had two plates of breakfast at the omlettery the next morning! second breakfast is awesome, I have discovered. It means you only need to eat olives for dinner. The feet are jordyn's.

May 7: We got on the train the next day. This is me drawing Heather drawing me as we moved through the valleys of the lowe mainland.

May 8: Lots for this day, since we were on a train for all of it. Mountains and people and travelling companions!


May 9:
And the next morning I started work! There is a roll of tape in my office, that is for sure!

may 10: There was a volunteer in at work who was sitting behind me....he kept speaking softly and I thought it was what he was typing since he was doing data entry, but eventually I realized he was praying and kept repeating "AHmen AHmen AHmen" over and over.

may 11: a boring drawing of an old lady at the coffee shop where I was having lunch.
may 12:
lamp-post!

may 15: a lady sitting in the legislative grounds.

may 16: oven mitt!


may 17:
drawing this picture made me late for my own play, unwittingly.

may 18:
a girl on the bus and weird attempts.

may 19: a crappy doodle, but I actually have a kind of neat sketch from the 19th that I'm going to put some goache to and see what happens!

may 20:
part of a mask that I bought once in barcelona for a lovely young gentleman

more coming....soon!

delays, delays

just wanted to mention that I have no moniter at the moment, so until the one I ordered gets in, I won't be able to post my drawings (as my parents' computer has no image editing programs). however, when I do get one I'll have a super-update with everything that I've missed since last thursday!

May 4! Cleaning and packing big time, part one! Zellers brand window cleaner is called "truly".
The end!

Today was a day on the beach, so today's drawing is a bunch of quick sketches of the people in attendance at said beach party. The drawings are kind of weird because my hand was not working that well? It was cold, since it went in the ocean a bunch? SO it was kind of numb and weird. In any case, the ocean was awesome and now there's a bunch of sand in my sketchbook. Ah, well, it was totally worth it!

may 01-02

And:
the drawing-a-day starts! they may not all be posted here every day, but I will post a drawing from each day here from now until late August, if that makes any sense!

Heather's doing it too, over at heathertoes.livejournal.com, in a bit of a different way!

The May 01 drawing here is weird, my dresser with some kid on it. I drew it while lying in bed. I tried to colour it but failed, so it's rawwwww. Ballpoint pen.

The second drawing is of Jordyn and her cat, who were both sleeping on a cot in our kitchen this morning extremely cutely. it was pretty awesome.

soon summer

Things have been quiet here since I don't know why I have this blog. However, soon all that will change. My pal Heather and I have decided to jointly start drawing-a-day sketchbooks as of May first, lasting all summer, and I'm going to use this as a place to upload those drawings (though I don't know if it will be update-a-day, since my access to computers will be shaky after this week, at least until a couple of weeks into May). So my lack of content will be made up for with...a lot of content!

This particular picture was done for a friend's baby using watercolour and ink.
