Day #30.Favorite Outfit

Tue, 17 Aug 2010 20:58:00 -0400

Firstly; its not meant to be me in this drawing; W posed dramatically for me, hence the adorable weirdness of it.

And B;This outfit does not exist, because 1) it would cost a fortune and 2) only an idiot would wear it… and the day this idiot can afford to dress like an ‘Ostentatious Monochromatic Vagabond’ is the day I die, meaning I’d like to buried in this :D

And that, as they say, is All Folks! I’ve got a plane to catch.

Day #29.The Meaning of Your Name

Mon, 16 Aug 2010 05:40:00 -0400

Sometimes I feel I was aptly named considering how often I like to ‘ninja in the night’. That and I have an overdeveloped sense of valor.
*no pun intended.

Also, go to [link] and make your own! It will never look as bad-ass as mine but its still crazy fun. While you’re at it, if you haven’t seen the movie go see it… and if you have seen the movie, Go See It Again!
I Challenge You!

Day #28.Your Zodiac Sign

Sun, 15 Aug 2010 16:58:00 -0400

I have the peculiar and apparently “inherently hard-headed” privilege of being born both ‘Year of the Ram’ as well as an Aries.

Day #27.Something w/ Sentimental Value

Sat, 14 Aug 2010 05:09:00 -0400

Newly 18, alone, jobless, homeless + soul-sick; I got on a bus with no destination. Several thousand miles + 14-days later this amethyst was gifted to me by an amazing someone who I’ll never forget, I’ll never really know + I’ll never meet again.

That was a lifetime ago …yet today, like any day I could be alone, jobless, homeless + aimless…but never soul-sick.

Well, never so much a good bout of wanderlust won’t fix. And I never travel without this.

Day #26.Instrument

Fri, 13 Aug 2010 16:54:00 -0400

For musical themes, I like shapes more than accuracy, it’s to do with rhythm I suspect but you can’t do that with instruments. It’s disrespectful, somehow. Since, I prefer things that are ‘Exceptions to the Rule’ I went with The Hornicator, because it’s crazy Genius!

Day #25.Best Friend

Thu, 12 Aug 2010 17:17:00 -0400

The coveted position of “Besties” has been vacated as of late due to equal parts Deceit + Death. Lately, I’ve leaned in on ol’ reliable, my hole-in-the-wall Local Library. Happiest place on earth, srsly. That or the bottom of a bottle, I swear its like being 15 all over again!

Day #24.A Collage

Thu, 12 Aug 2010 11:20:00 -0400

I used ShapeCollage to put this together. I’m for Crap at Collages, always have been, always will be. But the I <3 MY ART theme is borrowed from the R.I.D. Girls. I ::heart:: them too.

Check out this interview/review of FCHS by the lovely Heather Mobley McKinney on The Dollar Bin!

Day #24.Collage:

Day #23.Actor/Actress

Mon, 09 Aug 2010 02:22:00 -0400

Day #23.Actor/Actress:

Day #23.Actor/Actress
Bryce Dallas Howard (Actress) + Seth Gabel (Actor), married since 2006. I adore their works so much. They’ve more repute for stage than screen but anything they’ve been in is made better for them having been in it. They’ve only been in one film together (Good Dick) as the annoying ‘kissing couple’ in the video store, which this image is drawn from. She’s so obviously pregnant in it, I’m endlessly charmed.

Day #21. Guilty Pleasure

Sat, 07 Aug 2010 20:18:00 -0400

Day #21. Guilty Pleasure:

I’m not big on guilt; I drink, I swear, I’m loud and I’m OK with these things, so this theme wasn’t easy.

Coffee is all I got; I feel guilty it dehydrates me to the point that I shouldn’t have more Coffee, but then I do anyway and feel better… right before I feel a whole lot worse.

Hence the “Guilt” :D

Day #20. Your Dream Job

Fri, 06 Aug 2010 02:28:00 -0400

Day #20. Your Dream Job:

@7 I wanted to be a firemen, but I knew I wasn’t really up to the physicality of it.
@14 I wanted to be an architect, but I knew couldn’t wrap my brain around the maths of it.
@21 I wanted to be able to walk again, properly, without braces or canes, which I since have done.

<—That sort of thing teaches you achievable dreams aren’t really worth the time to dream them, in fact they’re called “Goals”. That’s the sort of thing I wish I could unlearn.

Since then, myself, I don’t dream anymore. But insomnia leaves me a lot of hours to be captured up in crazed thoughts; neither dreams nor goals, just ramblings of happy mad-bits tied together by couplets and limericks matched w/ phosphorescent images, some would call musings.

I think I’ve trained all my life to be suited to the task “Creating”.

If I could have a dream job, it would probably be to make of “Job of Dreaming”, make ‘em bigger, better, broader. BOMBASTIC even. I reckon’ I’d be quite good at that.

Day #19. Sea Creature

Thu, 05 Aug 2010 02:28:00 -0400

Day #19. Sea Creature:

Our Ronnie (veronicakaitlyn) asked for Loch Ness, so this is for her. I never did much imagine Nessie was a Brontosaurus. I like to imagine she’s more magical than just that. Not that a Brontosaurus could really be ‘just’ anything.

Appearance @ B+N [Union Square, NYC]

Wed, 04 Aug 2010 10:14:00 -0400

Appearance @ B+N [Union Square, NYC]:

Speaking on things inherently New York; how ‘bout a public Appearance;

“ZOMBIES” is tomorrow theme for 30 Day Drawing Challenge, so if you’re going to be in NYC, come to The Infernal Devices; Clockwork Angel book release/announcement event, where I will probably ask you to make your bestest zombie face

Actually, ~SupeRsquiTo-PouF and I will be there, hiding in plain sight, while Cassie Clare says a thing, in the after glow of Holly Black & Maureen Johnson being awesome, plus Prizes and Revelry!

Barnes & Nobles in Store Event
Wednesday August 04, 2010 7:00 PM
Union Square
33 East 17th Street, New York, NY 10003, 212-253-0810

I would say, “If you can come, that’d be swell. If you can’t… I hear someone will be someone will be live-streaming it, “ … BUT as someone on DeviantArt pointed out this is very likely to be the only thing (in the foreseeable future) where Nic, Cassie + my small s’Elf will be under the same roof!

So, if you have your copy of FCBD: City of Bones Comic I suggest you make the effort to come out. I’d promise not to bite but that option feels subjective.

Day #16. Drawing With Eyes Closed

Wed, 04 Aug 2010 04:38:00 -0400

Day #16. Drawing With Eyes Closed:

Another bit of a cheat, Collab effort with one of my wards, 8-year-old Grace. She wanted to draw the T.A.R.D.I.S. in the Time-Vortex. All the colors and crayons are hers. I kept my eyes closed all the while it was, freakishly intense for me…

Day #18. ZOMBIES

Wed, 04 Aug 2010 02:28:00 -0400

Day #18. ZOMBIES:

Beside my tablet, I keep a vial of Zombie!Cure I picked up sometime ago. I’ve got escape routes, weapons, back-up escape routes, back-up weapons, etc. Zombie Apocalypse comes & I’m all about the double-tap + heads-shots-only. I get that.
But today, I realized what I don’t get is “Fan-Girls”. If they ever up-rose… I’d just swallow my shotgun.

Day #14. Portrait of a Pet(s)

Tue, 03 Aug 2010 22:54:00 -0400

Day #14. Portrait of a Pet(s):

Misery [Age 18]; she’s a flippin’ Ninja.
Omen [Age 9]; she’s a goddamn pillow.
Id [Age 71/2]; she’s the kindest, dumbest, gentlest pile of black fur you’d ever meet. Sucha shame there’s such stigma about black cats, racists!

Day #17. A Delicious Food

Tue, 03 Aug 2010 10:14:00 -0400

Day #17. A Delicious Food:

Day #17. A Delicious Food
(World Famous) Lindy’s Cheesecake. There is nothing better… and if there is I’d never know since I’ve developed a crippling intolerance to lactose. Still, make a bee-line for there whenever I get near her, at least for Good Morning Coffee or Midday Long Island Ice-Teas :D

Day #15. A Dinosaur

Sun, 01 Aug 2010 04:38:00 -0400

Day #15. A Dinosaur:

Bit of a cheat cuz this is NOT a dinosaur, but I was looking at the Dinosaurs on the toy-shelf, trying to pick just one, when I saw Retro!Godzilla giving Nu!Godzilla the stank eye. This just had to be done.

Day #12.An Elderly Person

Sat, 31 Jul 2010 12:51:00 -0400

Day #12.An Elderly Person:

Fleur + an Nostalgic Old Bird from “Cirque Du Soleil; Allegria”. Maybe a cheat, since their features are exaggerated to begin with but since we’ve been watching this DVD for the past few days, its hard to pull inspiration from anywhere else.
