Not the Eric Clapton song

I'm not talking about Eric Clapton's song "Layla". I'm talking about my kitty, Layla. She looked so sweet while sleeping on my lap. Maybe I'll go take me a little "cat"nap.. ha ha ha!

Oh yeah!...it's my 100th post..how exciting!

Clicking my yellow heels three times

A few months ago I went shopping at Target and found some great shoes! I rarely leave that store empty handed...there's always something that is just too good to pass up. These shoes I bought are probably one of my favorites for many reasons--the color, the shape, and the details are amazing!

Have you brushed your teeth today?

Whenever I get a new toothbrush, it always makes me want to brush my teeth immediately when I get home!

A Naughty Santa?

My roomate and I are having a Dirty Santa Christmas party tonight. The first thing that came through my mind was this overweight, naked Santa Claus so, I couldn't resist drawing it! So far, I am really enjoying the holiday season especially since I have nothing to do except relax, drink coffee, wake up whenever I want to, and finally draw--whatever I want to!

Did you say scale figure?

As you can tell, I was in the mood to draw some scale figures! I had so much fun drawing them I even drew some on a napkin in the EUC--my professor Suzanne would be so proud! The top drawings I drew during shelter bus presentations. I really like the sketchy technique because people are constantly in motion, it is really hard to draw them. I also think the sketchiness [is that a word?] makes the drawings have character.

a pear not for class

I have missed posting drawings that I have done outside of class. Let's just face it--I don't have time--the majority of my posts are for class! I have had the urge to just draw something that doesn't relate to school..so I did (even though I should be doing studio drawings)...and it felt nice. I chose to draw a pear--I'm not sure why..I was tempted to eat it before I could finish drawing.

What in the world is ELSEWHERE?! [final]

Our second assignment at ELSEWHERE was to claim a spot on the first floor by marking it with duck tape. This spot was ours for about two weeks. Our goal in claiming this particular spot was to somehow capture everything in that space. I chose a space that was near the back of the museum and was also resident's desk. The particular space I chose seemed to be very "girly". It consisted mostly of flowers, perfumes, a feathered lamp shade, and sunglasses. I loved my area because it felt cozy due to how little it was. There was also a huge wall of shelves packed full of stuff...very overwhelming! I decided to only focus on the desk because there were things that I thought would show the space the best. I chose to draw the main items that were sitting on the desk space...which are seen above. Overall, I truly loved doing this project. It was definitely a new and unique experience and I am really happy with the way my drawings turned out!
