this is henry & that is good music.

Henry
Still working on my army of pumpkin people. A few more can be found in this flickr set, and a couple are up for sale in ye olde etsy shoppe.

I'm woefully behind on scanning my daily drawings. It's been over a hundred days since I started this project, and so far I've only missed one. So I've failed, really, but that's no reason to stop. The day I missed I was really into the paintings I was working on, and it just slipped my mind. The realization actually woke me up the next morning. It was very theatric.

Anyway.

I love a lot of old music. When drawing and painting, I often listen to pop standards, doo-wop, jazz--all that good stuff. Go to Pandora, click on create a new station, type in The Platters and you will get a constant stream of perfection.

daily drawings: bearded lady week, etc.

Last week I drew a bearded lady a day, which was super fun and I wish I'd had more time to do more with them on certain days. But ah well. A couple of these want to be paintings. They told me so.



And a bonus bearded lady...My dad's birthday was yesterday and this is the card I made for him. Did he love it? Yes, he did. I've also finally had some time for painting, which has been nice. A little look at what I've been up to there: Sexy?
In other news, school starts at the end of this month. I have a ton of stuff to get done before then, so. Let's go.

daily drawing catch up: guys in ties week

daily drawing catch up, pt 2.

You can click those little ones big, you know?
Aaannnnnnnnd I'm almost completely caught up on scanning these. Alls that's left is last week, which was Guys in Ties Week. I'll post those in a day or two. Then I'll probably fall behind on posting again, as I don't have the Internet at my apartment! Oh no!

daily drawing catch up, pt 1.

the eye hurt drawings.

Sometimes tomorrow turns into next week. Here are days 42-45.







We'll try this again tomorrow. Maybe for real this time. I've been leaving a trail of typos and mistakes all over the Internet tonight, so I think it's time for bed. Go see Inception. Good night!

i am not dead. i am still drawing.

I'm trying to get caught up on scanning and uploading my daily drawings, but it's going very slowly. 'Cause I kind of hate scanning things.

A little while back I had an eye infection of some sort which caused swollen eyelids, occasional leaking and enough hurting/itching to annoy the ever living hell out of me. And so, the drawings during this time all had an eyeball/missing eye theme. Here are a few of them:

I'll try to get the rest of these scanned up tomorrow...and then the drawings from the other 18 or so days....Today will be day 60. I'm honestly amazed I've lasted this long.

Anyway, the eye hurt drawings got me to thinking it might not be a bad idea to start having a weekly theme for the daily drawings, to keep me motivated and keep things interesting. I also thought about drawing every single character from LOST and Deadwood, as that would pretty much last me the rest of the year, ha. But, if anyone has any ideas for themes I could take on, do let me know! I think I will start off this week by only drawing guys. Will I be able to do this? I don't know. If I do, will they all be wearing ties? Probably.

wormeye + daily drawings.

I am still doing the daily drawings! I'd just gotten behind on scanning them. For a few days I kept asking myself why the hell I was doing this, and I think you can tell I just wasn't as into it as when I first started...especially with all the other things going on right now. But I kept on and now I'm pretty much excited about the project again. 36 days so far. Perseverance!



In other news, I went on a serious apartment hunt this weekend. It's kind of been horrible, but I think I might have found a place. We'll soon see.
