Working it in

At work this week I caught up with all of my projects, so I started to work on some filler work. I decided to make some "entourage" elements, "entourage" being people, plants, and such. In the midst's of drawing a woman sitting down sipping coffee I decided to make some familiar faces. When I was done Ron and Hermione were ready to stroll the streets in front of some new posh project generated by KTGY.

Bad Week

So I didn't have the most wonderful week. Mind you it was far from horrible, but some blows to my ego were made.

First off I was excited to share some artwork that I made for my old college group at church with some people, only to insulted with accusations of being gay, mainly due to the fact that my work lacked "grit", guns, and smokes.

Later in the week I was eating lunch with some coworkers. We were all having a good time and then out of no where I get this snide little comment and/or insult from someone that I don't even know all that well. "Do you ever iron your shirts?" I was like.... "...Thanks for that..."

To top off the week I tried to join a little online Harry Potter community. That was a mistake, I clearly forgot to get J. K. Rowling herself to review my application. I was told that it was trite, immature, and incoherent. And my doing it to have some fun and enjoy other HP fans was sorely and clearly the wrong thing to do! Apparently that little community is not for fun, but for serious Harry Potter business, cuz ya'know they have a lot to do with the outcome of the actual book and all. Anyone who knows me knows I am a huge Harry Potter fan, but come on now!
So, after about, oh... the 157th demeaning and insulting comment I got the vibe that I am not welcome to be a part of their little club. Oh no, what shall I ever do? Oh I know, remain sane. The sad thing is I was really looking forward to it...

Old School

Okay so I came across some of my old drawings from Highschool.

These were my first attempt at coloring in Photoshop.

Can we say lame? LOL

Self Doodle

I used to doodle myself all of the time but it has been a while. It’s not that I am vain, but it's just that the only time I get to have super powers, wings, and/or magic is when I am in doodle form.
I did this on Monday during an excellent Bible study, my notes are over-laid on top in blue (I colored it the following day).

And I have noticed I tend to draw myself all thin... wishful thinking I guess.

Sauvignon Blanc

An illustration I did for a wine tasting and art gallery we are having at work. This is based off of a white wine... hopefully i can stand more than a sip of this one seeing that I did an illustration for it. <: )

Thanx Tyrone

I went and saw Tyrone Wells tonight at Plush Cafe out in Downtown Fullerton with a few friends, he was a much needed encouragement on my part. He shared the meaning behind "Dream like New York", a new song from his Hold On album, it is a song about dreams and goals and the passions in your life. And how not to abandon them, and not to let them drown in the 9:00-5:00 week that we sometimes must take.

Use your passions as your calling, is something I always said. But I seemed to have forgotten this over that last year and a half. But not anymore.

Lord please spark the flame in me again, and guide my path and use my talents and gifts for your glory. Help me to die to myself and give up my hindering and self destructive habits, so that I might be freed up to fly and fight for You.

These are some doodles I did while watching Tyrone play. I had a crappy seat and didn't get a good view of him, but fun none the less, and the great thing about music is that you don't need to see it.

Willow

I was up late working on an illustration for work all while catching up with my TIVO, and I finished 15 mins into an episode of Buffy that happens to be a fav of mine. So this is the doodle I did while watching the duration of the episode.
10 points to anyone who can guess the episode!

If Willow was real I would hunt her down and marry her. I would have my work cut out for me seeing that she is a lesbian witch now... but who doesn't like a challenge?
