"Bug-A-Boo! come on out! i'd like you to meet someone! this is Hannah Marie-- she's a Scary Princess!"- Scary Godmother

When she opened her eyes, she found herself alone--in the dark--with the Monsters. The kids were gone! Had the Monsters gobbled them up? But why? She had given them candy... She tried to be brave, but she couldn't hold out any longer. Hannah began to cry. When, suddenly, out of the darkness came the sound of sobbing--much louder than her own!
"BOOHOO!BOOHOO!"
Why would anybody be crying louder than a little girl left alone in a Spook House? Hannah choked back her tears and decided to find out.
"hey, lady--Why are you crying?"
"because I like the sound of the Boos in that Boo Hoo Hooing! Hello, Hannah Marie-- I'm your... Scary Godmother! I'm here because you need me!"
                                                  -Scary Godmother, by Jill Thompson

This is how the best little kids Halloween story and characters begins. well this is where you first meet Scary, who i love.  I've been trying to make a scary godmother costume for years. i just realized that Bug-A-Boo would be easyer and cooler looking so here is my design for him.





So! blue hairspray, blue facepaint and  his nose, mouth and teeth painted on. the dress is grey faux fur. some hairclips with his eyes on them and white ceramic horns in the hair. i'm thinking of doing the arms and legs by buying some tights, dyeing them blue and sharpieing the dark stripes onto them. there will be holes on the hands and feet for claw gloves and white heels to come through. also a red cloth tail pinned to the dress. the guy version would probably be the same exept that i would have to buy pants and a shirt, dye them, and sharpie the stripes, instead of tights. also the fur dress would have to be a vest instead.


here are examples of his eyes. they will be on hair clips:





and here is what Bug-A-Boo looks like!






so yeah... i like him! lol well goodnight!
Best Wishes!

"My head, oh my head, Please disregard what I just said I'm indecisive And I can't figure out why His face comes in my dreams And nothing is what it seems"- Julia Nunes


so I've been working a lot and haven't had much time. I've been listening to a lot of Julia Nunes this week. and, here are the sketches from the week:






The story behind this one is that i was at work talking to my coworkers (these two lovely girls who i shall call C and A). A was wondering what me an C's taste in guys are. She first told us hers which is that he needs to have good hair, no acne, nice clothing, darker skin, and be shorter then her. mine of course is just... he must have a good personality otherwise I'd rather him to be more towards the nerdy side but he doesn't need to be. C's taste is that he has to have good teeth and a good personality. he must have good teeth because she has really good teeth and she doesn't wanna make his look really bad. i immediately had an image of her checking guys teeth when they ask her out like farmers and jockeys check horses. so here is my sketch.










I have recently realized i am in love with noses. here are my two attempts at drawing this guy (who i enjoy talking to IMMENSELY) at work's nose. both the attempts look like Christopher Eccleston.







A study of eyes. i was bored and this is where i first start on a lot of drawings. this isn't NEARLY as creepy as my leg study i did a while ago.



lyrics to the song of the week. its Indecisive by Julia Nunes

This weeks' news
I have a new crush
Third this month,
So it doesn't mean much
Leave me alone,
Cause I can't control my hormones

My head, oh my head,
Please disregard what I just said
I'm indecisive
And I can't figure out why
His face comes in my dreams
And nothing is what it seems

I guess I'm imature and stupid
And I overthought what you did
But I can't help what I think
And whether you're joking or not
Well, that's where I get cought 'cause
I can't make the distinction

My head, oh my head,
Please disregard what I just said
I'm indecisive
And I can't figure out why
His face comes in my dreams
And nothing is what it seems

Oh,mulling over things that I said
And all the stupid things I regret
But babe it's not over yet
Let's see how deep we get

My head, oh my head,
Please disregard what I just said
I'm indecisive
And I can't figure out why
His face comes in my dreams
And nothing is what it seems

I can't fall in love,
I'm just 18 years old
But your body is so warm
And the weather is so cold
And I'm feeling your lips
pretty closer on mine
Your hands on my hips
shiver shoot up on my spine
At the scandalous things you've told me

My head, oh my head,
Please disregard what I just said
I'm indecisive
And I can't figure out why
His face comes in my dreams
And nothing is what it seems

Just hold my hand, we'll be allright
Just hold my hand, we'll be allright
Just hold my hand, we'll be allright
Just hold my hand, we'll be allright



that'sall for now,
Best Wishes!

"I'm going out to get my mind off you...."- Julia Nunes

"I'd rather plead the fifth and talk about the girl you're still in love with."- Julia Nunes

Recently I've decided that a good portion of Drama just isn't work my time. At the moment two of my Favorite females are being played by this stupid guy...and seriously when i heard this i had to laugh. i love these girls, don't get me wrong, but it made me laugh at how everyone asks why i don't go to youth group. THAT is why. because I'm sick of it. as a matter of fact here are a few lessons I've learned from the stupidity of my teen years (which I'm TECHNICALLY still in):

1. Guys at my churches youth group are not worth ones time. they need a LOT of growing up. the girls too... frankly everyone needs to get mature.

2. People come to NewSong when they have nowhere else to go. we take the broken and the lost. now that's great for outreach and loving on people but a TERRIBLE place to look for love. it seems most people stay abusive and screwed up until they are... about 22 or 23 and even then they are still screwed up.

I'm not sure where i'm going with this... I guess i just wish that my girls would get that this guy is just.. not worth their time. this isn't an "Anti-Love" speech.  by all means love! just know when its a waste of time. OK so now that I've said my piece (or a very sloppily written version of it) lets get to the art!






The Girl With the 'Stash Tattoo





it may be hard to see what she is doing. she has a Mustache tattooed on her finger and she is holding that in place over her mouth where she is sticking her tongue out a little.



Phoenix







By the FANTASTIC Caroline Stone who has appeared on this blog before drawing Doctor Who Characters with me . this is another collaborative drawing. she did the bird and i did the fire and the design on its wings.

Well that's all for today i guess.
Best Wishes!!
