Work Art of 2008





For some reason, I get most inspired to do artwork when I'm either listening to a lecture or doing math... therefore, my work notebook is full of random doodles. Here are a few pieces from last years' notebook. I scanned them in with the work scanner -- which doesn't do color for some reason. Most of my drawings were done in blue ink. The last girl (to the right) was inspired by Leslie from Pancake Meow. The girl in my doodle has a white cap on -- she reminds me of a mischievous milk-maid or something. The rest feature girl faces, shoes, hair, and clothing. Overall, I'd say I'm obsessed with drawing women in a fashionable way. I'm hoping that one day, I'll get my wits together, and maybe acquire a drafting table, to make some decent large pieces like Johanna. Maybe one day!

Bacon and Doodles

Started the day strong with a hearty breakfast of grease at Goodie's Good Eats (Formally known as Goodie's II) with my family today! It was great. Alma and I both got the French Toast (mmm), but I got mine with 2 Bacons (droooool) and Al got hers with scrambled eggs (not as good as bacon). After this meal, I had enough fuel for packing and hauling boxes for my friends' "moving party" for five hours today. Whew -- that was a good workout. Thankfully, my hard work was rewarded with pizza from Mountain Mikes (yeah, I've fallen off the diet wagon today...) After gorging myself on pizza, I came home for a relaxing evening coloring in my totally awesome "Doodles: A Really Giant Coloring and Doodling Book" by Taro Gomi. After completing a few masterpieces, I realized how much my sister's "doodles" made my masterpieces look like doodle-crap! Here are a few examples:

Exhibit A: my series of drawings that I thought looked super-duper!
Exhibit B: Alma's series of drawings! Geez -- why did she have to use EVERY color in the coloring box and totally show me up?!! I think my favorite is the "nose" picture -- that's Claire.
Exhibit C: Alma's stripey, colorful, giraffe.
(sorry it's sideways! I'm too lazy right now to fix it...)
Exhibit D: My sad excuse for a giraffe. At least it has cute shoes...
