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.

Today on the internet

So a friend of mine has a saying that goes something like "If you think of it, it exists on the internet." Today the Boyfriend demanded to see something funny, and I asked him what he wanted, and he responded "A Hillbilly Getting Tazerd!" One youtube search later, and we find A drunken hillbilly on a lawnmower getting tazered. Lordy.

Meanwhile, in their own words

There's been a lot of San Francisco posts over at laughing squid lately, which has made me a touch nostalgic. But nothing has made me straight up homesick until this post. Wendy Macnaughton's narratives and illustrations are incredible, and really give a feel for what I remember of living in the city (particularly the ones about the farmers market and the library). You can see the whole series here.

and now its off to breakfast, laundry, and more drawing.

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.

The above is a sketchbook from the swedish artist Mettias Adolfsson which I found via the blog Book by its Cover. It makes me want to draw all the time every day. One could easily get lost in his illustrations and never come back. The only thing that saved me was the fact that I haven't yet had breakfast, and there are some tasty leftovers drawing me downstairs. Anyways, I highly suggest visiting Mattias' bog as well as Book by its Cover, as both provide a fairly endless amount of inspiration.

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.

don't slurp, it's rude!
