refresh!

COFFEE…JOURNAL…refreshing isn’t it? Well, I thought so, that’s why I posted this for Illustration Friday’s word for the week.

Sometimes that’s all I need to start the day off right! A few words of thought and a few sips of enlightenment… I mean, coffee. The elixir of enlightenment. Well, some would say the elixir of irritable bowels and just plain irritable-ness! But I like that moment of “ahhh..” from my first sip.

Refreshing, isn’t it??

Whizzer!

Oh the fun rides you could have if you owned a WHIZZER! But I don’t…and you don’t, unless…you do? 

 

I drew this for Isaac because he’s been wanting to put a motor on a bike, and these are about the coolest things, and are pretty much the idea of what he wants. Well, really he’d love a motorcycle. Something to go with his fiercely independent wild side! Oh wait, he is always fiercely independent. 

I’ve been thinking of a mildly independent little moped myself, because I’m not that fierce and I’m not that wild. Oh what a pair though, I think he’d leave me behind in the dust! Hah.

Tonight’s Menu

Image

I didn’t know what to make for dinner tonight really…I just got home from work and the only thing I bought from the store was a coconut meringue pie. Since I’ve been writing posts about “Cake…it’s what’s for dinner…” I’d like to add another delicious dessert to the main course: PIE!

And I wanted to do something super extra nice for my sweetheart since he’s working about a 13 hour shift today, why not? It would be super extra nice if it were from scratch! Hah! I’m not crafty with pies, I just can’t get a good crust going…I should perfect something like that huh? Eh, I’m still trying to perfect my artsy fartsy craft craftiness! I need to get into gear with that one.

Also, another drawing that just comes from my day to day life, creativity stems from life! 

Not too Late

Image

These two objects don’t really go together at all (tomato and coffee mug if you were wondering what those two objects were) but they were on my straw mat this morning as I was meditating. I advise that coffee really isn’t something you want to be drinking while trying to meditate. I simply just could not focus! Jitter bug that I am…

The tomato came from my very own tomato plant and it’s just about to turn red ( I pick them early because I have some pesky birds that will try to eat them if I don’t pick it early enough). I guess green tomatoes are bitter and so is black coffee…that would be the only correlation with the two (that and they come from some kind of plant). How do I turn those into a meditation practice? Well, I didn’t, I just turned it into an opportunity to draw!

It’s not too late to find random things and turn it into some creativity!

Cake…it’s what’s for dinner

Image

….I think if I could have cake everyday I would be a much happier person. Being as I do have some form of self-control, I’ll save cake for those special moments. OR NOT.

“cake is such a delightful treaty sweet” (not sweety treat…treaty sweet…)

     But there will be a day when Isaac comes home from work and he’ll ask, “what do you want for dinner?” and I will smile and shout “CAKE!… IT’S WHAT’S FOR DINNER!!” It’ll throw him off a bit, but…living with me he’s probably use to something weird and preposterous. Hey, if he can have beer for dinner, I can have cake and then we’ll both be little happy mushy people holding cake and beer in our hands…

Hmm…tomorrow, be sure to check out a drawing of this future event of me and Isaac doing just that! 

oh and that’s CRAZY FACE  on the right. Watch out for CRAZY FACE, I draw one in my journal entry every day (almost…I have been known to skip days and weeks in my journal).
