"Cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education. " Mark Twain

Remember that big project i told you about? well here is the finnished sketch! woot, i'm halfway done! now to color it on the computer..oh geez..


These are my Charicters (left to right) Patrick, Mina, and Jaick. Hannah helped me. i can't draw man hair so she dew the guys hair whilst explaining it to me. just so you know Patricks t-shirt is  Chameleon Circut (the Tardis), Mina's shirt is Jukebox the Ghost, and Jaick's is Vampire Weekend. also i'm sure they are watching Red Dwarf. if you have any questions about it or something message me..or comment.

“I went to the park and saw this kid flying a kite. The kid was really excited. I don't know why, that's what they're supposed to do. Now if he had had a chair on the other end of that string, I would have been impressed.” Mitch Hedberg

"Floating and fighting, like a kite on a string
Till you cut through my tether and changed everything
From the sky you looked small, but I loved you the same
So I darted back quickly to spell out your name
And when they say that I'm just a terrible kite
You'll tell them you're proud of my marvelous flight"


I don't have much to say about her. this is an illustration for Kite by Copeland. i was just trying to get the feeling of the song into the painting. this song always makes me want to cry even though the lyrics are kind of happy.  this is the first full painting since i was a sophomore in high school.

"To dance is to be out of yourself. Larger, more beautiful, more powerful." ~Agnes De Mille


"Please send me your last pair of shoes, worn out with dancing as you mentioned in your letter, so that I might have something to press against my heart."  ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe


Frankly i have tried to type my feelings and thoughts about dance several times now and i can't manage it. I found a song though that pretty much expresses what i feel. its called One Step Closer and is from the broadway musical The Little Mermaid.

It comes when Ariel is at the castle and trying to talk to Eric but can't. Eric sings this song.
One Step Closer (youtube) sorry for the quality.


and this is a very quick very sloppy watercolor  inspired by this song.

here are the lyrics if you are interested

"A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world." Leo Buscaglia

My dear, dear friend is getting married this weekend. As my gift to her (as a help for the wedding) I'm makeing hair pieces for the maid of honor and brides maid. This is the (almost) finnished flower for the Maid of Honor. Unfortunatly i don't own a real camera so this is from my phone.

"In winter I get up at night And dress by yellow candle-light. In summer quite the other way I have to go to bed by day." ~Robert Louis Stevenson

I'm working on something that i will think is awesome. till i finnish it and show it to you i shall post a seris of random sketches including fire plants, random feelings and the like.

I awoke this morning to my bedroom feeling rather hot. being as it is summer i thought nothing of it. when i opened my door, though, i was met by a burst of frigid air. my dear mummy had the house at 50 degrees. there fore i spent the entirety of the day wrapped up in scarves and gloves and sweatpants. this, of course was a terrable inconvenience when my dad wanted me to go with him to get my car and it was 70 to 80 something outside.



this is my first water color in two years. its of Mina.  i'm rather proud. yet again, this does look so much better in real life.
