Tonight’s Menu

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!

Cake…it’s what’s for dinner

Leave a reply

….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).

CABBAGE HEAD!

Leave a reply

Do you know what happens when you mix a lot of rain, combined with an awesome vegetable garden? You get: GIANT CABBAGE HEAD!

Or when you eat entirely too much cabbage, go outside in the rain, and up sprouts a …GIANT CABBAGE HEAD!

Sometimes when you imagine a world full of nothing but awesome vegetable gardens with a large amount of awesome thunderstorms you get: GIANT CABBAGE HEAD!

okay…the key word is rain (oh and cabbage). So we’ve gotten a lot of rain and I purchased this giant cabbage from a local farm here outside of town ( http://texadus.com/) and I couldn’t believe the size of this thing (it was twice the size of my head). I was inspired instantly to draw a cabbage head. Actually I purchased this almost a month ago, had the idea since then but have procrastinated this long into drawing it. But…it’s real, it grew, and it became my head.

So…if you can imagine here with me a person sitting on a couch, a laptop in front of them, typing away at a blog with a giant cabbage for a head, then you’ve fully described…ME! and I’m not ashamed of it. Everything around me is suddenly all green, I taste dirt and cabbage…and please don’t get me near a sauna for fear I might become steamed cabbage head. I might just eat my own head. Oh, and don’t think about making me into coleslaw, this head ain’t for chopping!

Llama Mama!

Leave a reply

” Howdy!” –Bahama Mama Llama

Yes, this is an attempt to draw a llama. She was actually a llama I met and took a photo with. (an embarrassing photo…but, eh, I’ll post it for ya!). Do I know whether she was female or not?? …No, but she had a matriarchal quality about her. Plus, she looked full and pregnant to me. I really don’t know, she could have just been so full of food that people throw at her. I know that she was eyeballing my bag of feed that I had! But anyway, we’re going to assume she is a mama and her name is Bahama Mama Llama cause she’s quite the cool and sassy type! Her hair just cried for a brushing and a shaving, but you could tell she was just wild and carefree, like a bahama mama would be.

My pen was running out of ink and I’m too lazy to go out and buy a new one. Just to let you know, this won’t be the last time you see or hear from Bahama Mama Llama!! or…Bahama Llama Mama…both sound pretty good to me.

More Fish

Leave a reply

So…to take a break from my failing series of faces (referring to last post’s drawing), I went back to more dreams of fish. and it’s not such a loss because it gives me practice on drawing fish and color schemin’s (I made a word up)…so yay for me! I am getting better at drawing everyday if I practice. And this is from someone who did take drawing classes in college. and drew incessantly in high school..SO..I hope you like it. Now, I just wish I had taken painting. But for code mush this is okay. Here is the painting from another angle:

Ordinary Mushy Faces…

This is just an ordinary face watercolor that I did today for my series of faces. I like the design of it but as far as the faces go…bleh. I’m guessing they’re pretty code mush looking. But I want more fine art looking you know? I’m not that great with fine art and that’s probably why I won’t make it as a talented artist. BLEH. but it is practice.

Code Mush faces

Leave a reply

I love to draw faces. I think that’s what I immediately want to draw when pen and paper are at my grasp…I am currently working on a series of faces. “mushy faces”…umm…I’m not sure what I’ll call it. But here is a sample of my current project.

Mushy Octopus!

Leave a reply

(….I know this post has nothing to do with octopus)

Truthfully, I haven’t been drawing much. My new year’s resolution gone down the drain…

But I have been working on other goals such as: daily yoga, meditation, and self-discovery! Hah… And I have to say they are going very well. But through self-discovery, maybe I will learn other skills besides drawing that I really dig. Isaac is working on learning survival skills. He has already learned how to make a fire with a bow string (pretty awesome isn’t it?) …We plan on learning how to build a shelter in the woods and to hunt. And to grow our own food. Yeah, I have to say that in the near or distant future I see…(getting out the crystal ball here…) a cabin in the woods, with two dogs, chickens, cows, an orchard, a garden, and a very happy couple just living off the land).

I think we both want to get back into the earth. Through discovery and adventure! I hope.

Speaking of adventure, have you ever thought of deep sea diving? Would you see a mushy octopus?…hmm…maybe.

Caffeine Crazy

…GGGGRRRRRR!!!!

Lack of sleep…Ugh, kind of makes you crazy. Crazy enough to eat your own coffee mug when the mug’s frigging empty? I believe so. Well… your teeth are already grinding, your already a nervous wreck, there’s not enough coffee to fuel your self. You might just black out. And when you black out you might just come to and find…that you got so crazy that you ate your coffee mug!!!! It could happen. Huh? Yeah, it could.

Sunday

Leave a reply

it's just a pear. and one that's been eaten.

It’s Sunday. and it’s Pear day.

Well, I actually had a thunderdome day (thursday’s are usually thunderdome days) where I would make room for overindulgence. Last time I did cheese, and now…it’s the pears.

I’m obsessed with obsessing over things.

So…don’t be surprised if I do some more drawings of cheese and then some more drawings of pears, with …..overindulgent stories.
