8, 9, 10, 11 /365 and website news

8/365 this was the day i felt rubbish with cold

9/365 after work i doodled our record player
10/365 while at work waiting for people to come to the screen i drew it. not bad considering i was standing at the back with nothing to lean on

11/365 for my website. which is almost finished! i'm excited.

so yeah, speaking of my website it is so stupidly close to being done that i am officially saying it'll go live on easter monday.
so once you've spent all of sunday stuffing yourself full of chocolate, chill out on monday with a browse of my site, maybe buy yourself a pretty thing or 2 :)
i'm excited, i hope you like it.

coffee shops

2 seperate visits to 2 seperate places.
every now and then we treat ourselves.
and it's good.

i have a cold. i feel rubbish. i always get a cold after a long weekend at work, i can't mix so much with the public, i catch all their germs. i'd much rather stay inside not catching germs making art and only venture out to see something pretty.
yes i'm a hermit.
normally it only lasts a day but i had it yesterday and now i still have it today and i have to go back to work again. i'm sure that'll make it more fun.
oh well i'll have to just deal with it.
at least it's only a cold.

on the up side, yesterday we ventured into welwyn and i bought things for packing shop items. i love stationary, i got quite excited carrying my little pile of envelopes.

4,5,6,7 /365

4/365 sketches for a new 'thing' for the shop.

5/365 very quick and without using a rubber. just the first lines that went down.

6/365 drawn in the dark dark back corner of the cinema while i watched nanny mcphee 2 after work waiting for will to finish.

7/365 some copied rufus dayglo from 'visions of booga' and some stuff that i could see from the sofa.

hoping to have a really productive day today but it's already later than i wanted it to be and i feel so worn out. the last 3 days i had as many hours at work as i normally do in a whole week. which isn't much, but i'm not used to it. and now i have my one day off before back to work again. i so hope i find a nicer job soon, and i hope even more that it won't be too long before i can survive off my art alone.
which is partly down to you buying pretty things off me, so get ready for that :) i think i'm aiming for the site to be up and running by easter monday *fingers crossed*

3/365

100th post!
amazing.

i think i'm going to start putting these sketch a day's together a few at a time rather than a post everyday seeing as it might get boring.
but i thought this goose deserved to be the 100th post because he's inquisitive.

2/365

yesterday was one of those days when you just can't draw. i tried drawing many different things and they all got rubbed out. so i left it with this medly of animals. not so great but i still did it.

paper flowers

i sorted through my paper drawer today and turned it into 2 paper drawers by emptying a drawer under my desk so the paper had more space because it kept getting caught whenever i opened the drawer. some might say, 'throw away some of the paper you crazy hoarder'. i say, 'that would be crazy'.

i found some beauties i'd forgotten about

i love this label. it's gold as seen in the next picture and it's awesome. and on awesome paper too.

we went for 2 short walks today because i need air. and we also needed magnums.

spring is pretty.
i wish it'd actually get a bit warmer though.

1/365

i'm feeling more settled recently so i'm going to try and do a sketch a day again, i didn't do it for very long last time. but i was still in the horrid house and at stupid uni.
i think it'll be particularly important on days like today when i don't have anything specific that i can get on with creatively but i should still do something art based.

this went alright i think, though her facial features aren't quite angled enough for the tilt of her head. or they're just wrong. faces are my downfall. and in my lazyness i decided to not even try and add the tattoos. but at least i did something while i was being lazy on the sofa rather than just being lazy on the sofa.



last night will made hotdogs with chilli. and he actually made the chilli, none of that out of a tin nonsense for us. and there's some left for lunch!! i'm actually excited and i don't even care.
