What I Wore Today Drawings

I've been a big fan of Wardrobe Remix ever since it started but never participated because, well, I'm not that much of a fashionista. I wear t-shirts and jeans most of the time and I'm pretty sure that I (still) dress like a teenager so that's not very interesting to photograph. But now my new favorite Flickr group is What I Wore Today (drawings only). Below are the first two drawings I added to the group:

Headed to Atlanta to see a friend's band play.


And the aftermath. It was a very, very late night and I had to get up super early. Why did I say I'd go to Atlanta when I knew I had an early morning? Well, I love my friends, I really do.

I hope to participate more. Maybe it'll inspire me to up my fashion game (I did order three new dresses today!). And, hey, more drawing never hurts, right?

Notebook Update!

I'm slowly working through my latest sketchbook. After several crappy pages I come up with this little gem. Micron pens in Moleskine Cahier notebook.

Moleskine Update!

Once we got past the halfway point of Mazzy's hospital stay, things got a little boring so I spent some time drawing in my sketchbook with kids' markers.

Day Four: NaBloPoMo

I sat down at my dining room table, ready to get some work done and figured I should document my obsession. I'm completely bonkers about Moleskine notebooks. Just bonkers. Moleskines and tea, please.

1. Hard Covered Ruled Notebook - My journal.
   
2. Hard Covered Plain Notebook - My sketchbook & list notebook. Almost finished. Will get new one soon.
   
3. Ruled Cahier - Just came in the mail yesterday. I will fill it with writing ideas and haiku.
4. Pocket Squared Cahier - My ART to-do list. Submission deadlines and ideas.
5. Red Pocket Planner + Notebook 2008 - It goes everywhere with me. I can't wait to order a 2009 planner. I'll get a bigger one this time.

I also have a Watercolor Reporter Notebook. It's sitting downstairs in my studio.

New Notebook

A new notebook for a new project! Details in a few weeks.

Mazzy Moleskine

I let Mazzy draw in my notebook one day. She made this beautiful scene with a princess, unicorns, birds, bunnies, flowers, butterflies, and a prince. Mazzy's really amazing with her drawing skills!

Me as a Teen, Circa 1999

Draw yourself as a teen meme!

My nick name for awhile was "Hong Kong Fawne" because of this t-shirt I wore all the time. I had mad crushes on guys I could never get and I was totally shy, quiet, and weird. I had song lyrics written on my backpack. Frisky the cat wasn't all mine, he was the family cat.
Brush pens, water color pencil, watercolor pen, Foray pen in my Moleskine notebook.

Faces

I've recently purchased a watercolor Moleskine notebook and I'm in love. I decided to dedicate this notebook to portraits. I need to work on my face skills and I just love working with watercolors so here you go: a new project!

More Moleskine

I've been having fun with the kiddo's Crayola markers. Too bad the yellows don't scan well.

Recent Sketchbook Pages

Illustration Friday: Heavy

I thought and thought and thought about what I could draw for this week's Illustration Friday theme. Then I saw the new book I just picked up at the library. It's huge! And definitely heavy!
Micron Pen + RoseArt Markers in my Moleskine.

Background Ideas

I'll be painting the backgroud for my work's productions of Lil' Abner. I came up with two ideas for the background, let's see which one the directors like...

Day Twenty Four

Day Nine

Doodle from yesterday while I was at work.

Whee! Exciting Weekend Ahead

Life's been busy and I haven't had much time to blog or even doodle in my notebook. Well, I take that back, on my downtime I'm way too lazy to pick up a pen and draw. Sometimes I'd much rather sit on the couch and watch an America's Next Top Model marathon.
The doodle you see up there is of Devendra Banhart. Check out his Myspace Music page. It's really great stuff.

This weekend is bound to be a great one. It's SlowExposures weekend! Also, I won a scholarship to attend the Dave Anderson workshop. I was totally stoked & grateful to hear that I got it, otherwise I wouldn't be able to go. It looks like Dave and I will get along just fine. His aesthetic is very much like what I want to go for. I'm soooo excited! And worried and scared. But still excited. Yay!

And and and...We're going to see Interpol tonight!

More Moleskine!

I'm kinda proud of myself, I'm drawing a little almost everyday! I love love love moleskine notebooks and micron pens!

I haven't been drawing as much as I would like. Mazzy and I have the "crud of the week" and we've been zapped of all energy. Hopefully next week we'll be better and more energetic.

Early Friday Morning

Two more scans from the new moleskine.

I don't have much to say today. So I'm going to list some links that I've been enjoying this morning. I've also been enjoying Irish Breakfast tea. Yum!

Moleskine Update

I've been crazy busy lately planning my daughter's fifth birthday, cleaning house, reading, being lazy, and complaining about the weather. And I started a new sketch noteboook. I finally broke in my unused, pretty black moleskine. It's so perfect. I would like 10 of them for Christmas, please. Here's some scans:
