fall trees

Fall has finally made its appearance here in NC. The trees have noticeably changed over the past week or so, which has led me to bring out my sketchbook as well as my camera.

rolling hills

My mind interprets this as hills.

blooms

The Crape Myrtle trees have just started to burst with blooms. I have one of these trees in my backyard and its blossoms have the most beautiful/brightest color I have ever seen..so bright, it almost hurts my eyes...

sweet shop

I love sweets, that's one important thing. However, a place that can satisfy my sweet tooth is the most important. Maxie B's is by far, one of those places. They make the town's best cakes, cupcakes, and frozen yogurt. This cute little bakery is known for all of their delicious concoctions as well as their very chic decor. Best of all, you can order these cakes by the slice..and they aren't just little slices..it's more like three slices in one.

I, often times, find myself craving the Old Fashioned Chocolate Cake..one of my absolute favorites! Today was different though, I decided to try the Birthday Cake..and believe me, I was not let down..

you can stand under my umbrella..ella ella, ay ay ay

I have finally recovered from the "inability to feel creative" sickness. After a week of being at the beach and seeing the wonderful colors of beach umbrellas, I finally got some inspiration to draw. I'm hoping this sickness won't return and I can get back to drawing on a regular basis. We'll see how this goes...wish me luck!

collaboration with brother

Wow, I've been extremely busy this Spring semester. I've been unable to draw like I've wanted to; however one weekend I managed to finally draw something other than stuff for school. I ventured out to Grey's Tavern with my brothers! One of my brothers and I did this drawing together that night and I thought it looked so.....blog-worthy!

*note: this drawing was definitely drawn on the beer coaster they give you at bars!

the wheels on the bike go...

while on campus, all you see is people on their bikes. That can be a good thing, however they make me a little nervous!
