The Letter F

F is for Fast Flying Fox




(Flying Fox is a REAL animal, here's a picture of one- http://newswatch-media.nationalgeographic.com/files/2008/10/flying-fox-lede.jpg) This one was really hard for me. He is not my favorite. I have never drawn a bat before so this was like take 5. To make matters worse I had actually finished it once and then right before putting in the background (my last and easiest step) Photoshop quit and I lost everything. I am glad I re-did just a day later though. Unfortunately I am going back to school in 3 days so my goal to finish the alphabet before that was not met. I did start taking a medicine that is supposed to fight my terrible fatigue that I have been experiencing lately so I am hoping that will give me more motivation to work on this. I am NOT giving up!! I am just taking it a bit slowly. However, whenever I go back to school I am always really inspired for like the first month so I am also banking on that. (excuses excuses- I know). This summer really was more successful than most in terms of the amount of art I've done so I haven't completely disappointed myself.

Anyways- Here is F. I think he is cute- not my best, but I like his goofy smile. :)

The Letter E

E is for Elegant Emu


So I hit a bit of a rough patch. I haven't been feeling too inspired as of late. I assume part of it has to be because of an absolutely terrible hostessing job I had up until a few days ago. I should have quit but instead I just left earlier than I told them I would. I would work 8 hour shifts with no break. (which means I stood non-stop for that time, no food, no bathroom- I did however get water, wasn't that nice of them!)
I really disliked the way I was treated by the management, I was raised to respect your elders and your superiors. I did my job to the best of my ability and followed all the rules. (Including not looking at my precious cell phone while I was working, and wear extremely conservative all black clothing in 100 degree weather) However, it was not worth the $8.00 an hour I was making to be treated like an insolent child.

It is safe to say that now that I am jobless and all I have is time again that I will finally be doing what I should have been doing all summer long- draw, paint, exercise, spend time with my family and of course take Kiba out for more walks! I do fortunately have about 3 weeks before I go back to Syracuse where I will undoubtedly be sucked into a routine of socializing, eating, drinking, tomfoolery and a bedtime of 3am again! (I am of course not complaining- but I do hope I finish this project before than! :) )

Summer Project: Animal Alphabet

I hope I finish this project... I am going to do the alphabet with animals and adjectives.

AnimalAdjectiveAlphabet (AAA) Haha- anyways, here is the first 'A is for Acrobatic Antelope!'

Breaking Bad

I can't stop watching this show, AMC's 'Breaking Bad'! It's just terrific- the acting, the characters, the story, the storytelling, the originality. I haven't been inspired to draw lately except after watching the first 2 and half seasons of this show!
