earthquake day

On this Friday, I woke up and got to work like any other morning... until I heard the news about the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.  The rest of the day, I was not very productive (from a work-perspective), spending my time instead checking up on all the news I could find and praying for everyone affected.  Even now, a little over two weeks later, part of me is constantly thinking about the people in Japan doing their best to get through this disaster.  It's hard, being so far away and reading the news and wishing there were more I could do to help... (like, take a plane over right now and help with rebuilding/cleaning.  not exactly the most practical, but...)

It's been a while, since I got so behind in posting, but do you remember the Snowpocalypse of a few weeks ago?  Yeah, I'm trying to shut it out of my memory too (especially because we've had beautiful SUN the past couple days). This drawing was from the day all the snow hit our fair state—at least 13 inches, I recall hearing.  I stayed holed up inside and only looked out the window with contempt.  This is another good-and-bad thing about freelancing.  I never have to go out in the gross weather to get to work... but I don't get snowdays either.  But I'm not complaining.

fluffy skirts for all!

Sorry for being a slacker with the last outfit.  Here's a nice fun outfit to make up for it!  Fluffy skirts make everything better, right?  I realized later the olive-dark pink colour scheme rather resembles the last outfit.

I've been using my brother's tablet to colour these last few posts.  I haven't determined whether it's faster or not, but it's really fun!  And I like not having to change my brush size when I want to colour a small area—I just don't press as hard with the tablet pen.  (Stylus? whatever it's called.)  Maybe someday I'll be skilled enough to actually draw with the tablet.  For now I still prefer pencil and paper for that.

colourful dreams

And then and then and then!

It's been a movie watching week.  I watched The Emperor's New Groove for the first time in forever on Sunday, and on Monday I entertained myself with Kamikaze Girls, which first introduced me to Baby The Stars Shine Bright (link to a previous outfit) some few years ago.  I should've known that was dangerous...  On this night, I donned my colourful best and headed to my parents' (I spend a lot of time there...) to watch Inception.  It was very interesting, except for the action stuff.  But I'm not much of an action-movie person, so I don't hold it against the movie.  Anyway, interesting.  I enjoyed the characters.  The sequence when what's-her-name was messing with what's-his-name's dream and making the dream-city do crazy stuff was fantastic; I'd watch a whole movie of just stuff like that!

I think I misspelled lollipop in my drawing.  Noted; will spell it correctly for the tag at least.  "Typos" are that much more annoying when they're written out and not actually typed.

normal day

And back to normal days again. I wore jeans, isn't that shocking?

I don't have much to say, so here's a bonus doodle from when I was messing around with my brother's tablet!


Oh wait, I know! I wanted to say hello to all you new people who got here from Liana's lovely paper doll blog! (and all my family and friends who are regulars here, you should check her site out!! It is full of pretty things!) I update kind of sporadically because I don't have time every single day to get my outfit drawn, scanned, cleaned up, coloured, and a post written, so I apologize in advance for that, but I'm committed to getting every day posted eventually, even if it's not on time (also, in case anyone's confused, I date my posts for the day the outfit was worn, not the day I posted it)! So please enjoy :D
