music and nature wads

First, here's a way for me to share music, because I miss doing radio.



hopefully I can do these mixes on a semi regular basis. Also, I'm frantically working on comics, prints, and gardening. So far I haven't killed anything. The last few weeks have been EXTREMELY busy, so its a little weird to have some down time, but of course I'm using it to draw comics and procrastinate and learn esperanto.

here is one of the nature wad prints i'm working on...

Warrior Princess Up-do

I think these xena doodles are going to have to become a zine. or a series of prints. I made another last night for the produce cooler at work, but I haven't gotten around to scanning it yet. Also still plugging away at my comic, got four pages inked and ready to go. Hopefully I can get a large amount done over the next few days, since I'm going to get incredibly busy over the next month. More things later, I'm going to go bathe and eat something.

time to draw!

Remember how I said I replanted a bunch of plants the other day? here they are, looking all cool with some fancy filters from my fancy phone thing. The future is now.

Also, I spent all of today drawing. WOO! got two whole pages inked and ready to go for Tip Top.

now, from that image you might assume this is a sea-faring, piratey ordeal. You would be wrong. There are a lot of cats.a ratio of about one thousand cats to every ass hole killed in this comic. it will make sense later, I promise.

Also, I like to pretend I'm Xena. You can tell it's me because I'm wearing glasses. Xena does not wear glasses.

Anyways, short update. Killing time waiting for the boyfriend so we can go get food and then go play Rockband at Ground Kontrol. I thought we were going to a concert tonight but it's not for another 2 weeks. I am a silly person.

I'm also a very hungry lady, so I might go down and forage for something in my scary fridge. send a search party if I'm not back in a week or so.

I.Am.Your.Grandmamama.

First off, I got a late start to my day because I stayed up too late reading Dune and being a neeeeeeerd. drawing comics and things. Today I went to farmers market and got some new loverly plants! Some fancy basil(it's purple!) and some mint (it smells good!) and I replanted some older plants that looked very unhappy in their old pots. So now I have a whole little spot in my room for happy non-succulent plants. hopefully I don't kill them. I am also working on Tip Top(I know, I always say I'm working on shit and never have anything to show for it. it's because I'm afraid of my scanner(It requires sacrificial goats. very messy) anyways, I'm actually almost done scripting, character designs are mostly done, and I have two full days with nothing planned ahead of me. I AM GOING TO DRAW LIKE A MAD WOMAN.

Now for the real business:

this has been floating around the internets like internet herpes, and I'm doing my part to keep spreading it. It also keeps being described as nightmare inducing, but the tune is REALLY catchy. I mean, I wish it was longer. Anyways, I've already caught myself at work socking apples singing "I am your grandma ma ma! I am your grandma!" Not creepy, i swear.

Edit: oops, forgot to post this last night. oh well, not much has changed.

Today I am doing nothing.

It's true. I've spent most of my day farting around on the internet, and I don't even have new shineys to share. I have many project that I should be doing, and I am defiantly not doing. It seems april defiance is bleeding into all aspects of my life.

okay, so it's not entirely true that I've done nothing. The boyfriend and I watched some Top Gear (sweet lord do I love that show...) and then went out for waffles, and then went to a video store(no, it's more exciting than you think) that has a lot of old props and costumes from movies, and took a wrong turn somewhere and ended up on Mt. Tabour. not sure I spelled that right. Anyways, I guess my morning was pretty adventureful. I need to make some food for a potluck. And finish a logo for a friend. And get some serious work done on the comic. I would also love to print today, but the young ones have a crit tomorrow and so I suspect everyone will be in tonight trying to get their work done. also tried to do a "finger wave" with my hair. these old-timey hairstyles I've been trying are really hard for people with stubbornly straight hair.

okay, there we have it. my procrastination is complete, I should probably go and do something productive...

Littlest Print Exchange

even though I know I sometimes bite off more than I can chew, I've decided to join The Littlest Print Exchange just for the fun of it. and also to get my printmaker nerd on. For those of you interested, sign ups are still going on and spaces still available, so jump on it! I have no idea what I'm going to do for it, but I never know what I'm doing anyways.

Stalking cat

ok, so I know I've ben bad about posting, but it's not because I don't love the internet. I do love the internet, it's just that I've had work, and haven't been able to do the things I want to do. Also there hasn't been much to report. I am working on a print, and I have photos, but those are trapped on my camera until I can get the correct usb cable thingy to get said photos onto the interwebs. So in the meantime, here is Stalking cat.


Think of this video as a metaphor for things to come. little by little. inch by inch. it only appears as if I'm not moving, only because I choose to be productive when no one is looking. yeah, that's it...
