Day 30 and Snowman pics

Okay so here's the drawing for yesterday...Warning...artistic nudity...



And the rest of these pictures were taken today when Bryce and I made a snowman in our front yard. We had a great time and a bit of a snowball fight...I won...hehe, mostly because I had gloves on...

Gregory the Snowman!


Me and Buddy testing the camera angle.


Bryce, Buddy and I...Awwwww... so cute!


Snow eating puppy!

Day 29

Back on track! yay!


This is from the 24 Hour Theatre I went to with Amy on Saturday the 24th. little sketches of memorable objects from the plays, a flamingo, a spoon, a necklace, a frame portrait and yes...the magical Dildo Wand of Jesus...don't ask...please...just don't

I've been making it a habit to cover old calendar pages with art, the idea is that since I'm always carrying the planner around, I'll always have examples of my art work to show...it's been good fun so far and it's pretty much acting as my visual journal of sorts since I'm tending to use objects and events surrounding the week to inspire the creative work on the page...good stuff.

The Many Days I Missed

Okay so I got a second to try and catch up...Still working on it but I have most days done. I think I officially missed two days, the 26th and the 27th, but I have more than enough naked lady pictures from Dr Sketchys Anti-Art school Burlesque model figure study session from the 25th to make up for it...Please don't be offended, if you don't want to see figure studies of a naked woman, don't look, it's art and for the most part very tasteful. and besides, I'm giving you the heads up so if you look it's your own deal.

Here goes!
Day 21


Day 22 (sorry it's really dark, I had to turn off the light on my desk because the light was reflecting off the magazine)


Day 23


Day 24 (terrible Alice drawing...terrible!!!)


Day 25 (me being bored waiting for Dr Sketchy's to start, the bloody Mary bar looked cool...although I was terribly sad the bartender made my lemondrop martini wrong and I couldn't enjoy it...oh well...)


Day 26 (just for fun, another picture of Diablo)


Day 27 (and another for filler...)


Day 28 (sketch I did after my Reading for Ideas class where we debated the ethics of the search for life sustaining planets...I had fun playing devils advocate, we also talked about our reading where the author hinted at the similarities between women and the moon, so I thought of a really cool painting I could do of Eve defiantly eating the apple with the crescent moon behind her head. ((obviously I'm not a fan of the Eve scapegoat idea...phooey!)))



Naked Lady Series (Model: Ms. Fanny Tastic of Chicago, very lovely 1920's/flight attendant style, cute personality, and she did some belly dancing for us, thumbs up!)












(Don't ask about the propellor pasties...she was wearing spinning pasties and the theme was "moving in the air"...I couldn't help it...)


(My favorite of the afternoon)

excuses excuses

My apologies. I've been keeping busy with homework and arguing with my mother for the fact that she wants to bring Diablo back to the vet we got him from...Apparently "it's like living with the devil!", well he's aptly named then...He's perfectly fine around me the two times I went to check up on him since she got him. I guess he get's pissed off when she tries to give him his medicine...duh, and doesn't like being put in a kennel...duh, and just all around doesn't want to have anything to do with her...well he's a cat! *sigh* sorry. She's mad at me because, "of course he likes me, I'm a cat person". It doesn't take a genious to realize that cats like their space.

Sorry, bringing the drama to the blog, not a good thing...I'm just worked up about this because I don't think it's just or fair to give a cat 48 hours and giving up on him...

but artwork...I totally have some to show you, I'm going to keep teasing you about it though...I'm horrible. I just have to sit down and take pictures of it all, i'm so behind in that. but I'm keeping up with my homework! that's the important part!

School is going great, I love all of my classes because they all work very well together. More on that later, class is starting now

Pictures of the kitty!

Owl kitty!


(sorry it's kinda sideways...I'm being lazy) He discovered the mirror and didn't trust it, not one bit!

El Diablo Guapo!

The Handsome Devil. That is the name of the cat my mom got last night. We did end up rescuing the cat that was dumped off at the Vet in North Minneapolis. He's a very large cat (14-15 pounds or so) with a beautiful coat of black and tawny brown-gray. His meow is very deep, slightly haggard but confident. We introduced him to Buddy (my black lab) and Diablo hardly acknowledged him, just sniffed him and kept walking, tail held proudly. Buddy just didn't know what to think of this fearless cat so he followed him around the house, pointing as though he were on the hunt. Diablo started to get a little agitated though and made his feelings known when it got a little crowded when the girl kitties came to investigate. When I dropped mom and Diablo at my mom's place, I watched him get the lay of the land. He hesitated quite a bit because my mother didn't do a very good job cleaning her apartment after fonz died. So Diablo clearly thought there was another cat around. poor guy.

I'm going to visit him today after I get off work and see how he's doing. Mom says she might end up taking him back because he's being anti-social...He's a cat! good lord, what does she expect! Poor guy, who knows what he's been through up until now. I'd be anti-social too! He just needs some time to get used to my mom and her place...*sigh* He is indeed a handsome devil though.



And as far as art goes...I have a lot to update now that I have my computer back. I will take care of that tonight when I get home and get some homework done. For now, it is time to start class...toodles!

Still Computerless

but back on a Mac! Life is good! I'm at my Aunt's now, grandma sitting for the evening while the disaster diva works overnight.

Never got a call from the Apple store today. I think I'll just stop in there tomorrow morning on my way home...I wants it back!

On a sadder note, my mother's cat, Fonz, was put down this morning. He was very old and very sick so it was certainly his time to go, but I'll always remember him. He always felt like a young cat in an old cat's body, up until the end and he was just in so much pain he couldn't move. But now my mom is looking for a new cat to keep her company, as it turns out, the lovely kaleidoscopekitty knows someone who knows a vet clinic that was just "given" a cat in desperate need of a loving home. (apparently his cage, that was abandoned outside the clinic reeked of pot...poor thing) Hopefully my mom can help the handsome man out.

So another day without art to show you, but never fear! I am keeping up with the creativity! I just can't post it...

Now I am off to the U of M where I will watch 24 hour theatre! so excited for this!

Toodles for now!
