yay!

long time, no see

life is still crazy. my dad may have some major health problems. my mom is worried and that upsets me. my aunt is not dealing well with a serious health diagnosis of her own. my own life is still a whirlwind, and i am trying to slim things down in order to gain some of my sanity back.

that being said, i may start switching some (if not all) of my blogs over to tumblr. it's not quite as user friendly, and it's more difficult to share things on facebook (because you can only share one blog, and i have several), BUT i can upload things by taking pics with my phone, and instantly make an update instead of sitting down with photoshop and doing all the sizing and cropping that i usually do.

it might affect the photo quality, but hey, it's just a blog. if people have fun looking at mobile updates on facebook, the same should follow for the blog, right? basically, i am looking to streamline things, and give myself more time for the important stuff, like drawing, painting, and spending time with some select, cute boys. :P

i'm hoping to get things sorted out soon. i may or may not try to keep up with my once a day doodles. i might make it a once a week doodle (my pinky-swear buddy still has not had a chance to buy himself running shoes), as i feel i am no longer obliged to hold up my end of the bargain. i HAVE been told however, that i AM obliged to provide internerd entertainment via blog doodles, so stay tuned. i haven't jumped ship yet.

Very Very Sorry

no, i haven't forgotten about my blog. i have been going nuts lately. between the stress from family illnesses, losing my job and hoofing it around town until i felt like i was going to drop dead, and getting food poisoning/stomach virus, my current 12 hour/day 'suck the very life out of me if i let it' job, and trying to figure out who i am anymore, i have not had the time to even sit for a moment and pick up a pencil. it has been, 'GO GO GO GO GO... sleep'.

i'll get back on track. sorry if i let anyone down. sorry i have to keep posting these stupid apology messages...

day 68

so, here's an entry from day 39. i was trying to figure out how to do filigree stuff for my friend's tattoo.


i think i finally got to understand how to draw them, and i think they are a nice addition to the piece. i haven't done anything this size before, so it should be interesting.

day 67

this was going to be the beginning of something i was going to do on a client. i'm not too sure when i'll be seeing him again. i may be doing some travelling over the next month or three. mostly to see ailing family that i mentioned a few posts back.

day 66

took yesterday's drawing and had a hard time deciding if i should do a boston terrier (because it always makes a certain someone smile and giggle deliriously), or a cow. maybe i'll do the cow another day.

day 65

feeling a little uninspired. took some flash from the shop and drew it. i have a lot of trouble with all the japanese genre, so i figure that if i trace enough of it, maybe i'll 'get' it eventually...

day 64

this is eventually going to be a component to some other tattoos on my very good friend.

sorry to keep anyone hanging, but along with not having internet connection at home, i recently got some more unfortunate news. several family members have gotten some serious medical diagnoses, and the stress has been eating away at me as of late. i haven't really been able to sit and draw/post. i've had these in queue, and since i have a few spare minutes, i'm going to post the ones i set free from my camera. i hope you like at least one or two of them.
