Rabbit. Bunny. Hare.

Feeling Rabbitish today, itching to make one of these little cuddlies again:

Feeling Sheepish

My family and I have been on a bit of vacation. Could barely afford it but we made our way to the Carolina coastline for some rest and relaxation. Our First Family Vacation!

And we returned more poor than ever!

But you know, even poor people need vacations every now and then, however the majority would rather stay home and drink then travel. Not that I object to that activity, to each their own! I like drinking away from home... :)

I've been hemming and hawing away at this website dilemma. I don't know which direction I want to take; I want to keep my Blogger account- I enjoy the simplicity and ease of use, but I want more freedom in changing things up. I guess its my total lack of understanding CSS that is keeping me down. I'm reading scores of articles and have watched countless tutorials but my brain just doesn't want to cooperate. It doesn't help that my life is bogged down by a job I am not satisfied with, I'm not ungrateful, there are lots of people unemployed, but good grief retail drains the soul right out of you.

You've been on People of Walmart, you see what I have to deal with daily...

In the meantime I've managed to make a simple vector illustration of my sheep drawing, I may transfer it to a linoleum cut and see about stamping stuff:

Cheers!

Doodle Therapy

I haven't committed to a super-serious post lately due to: a) laziness b) writer's bloc c) anxiety

You choose.

I'm a fine artist at heart, and I have not drawn or painted anything in forever and a day which makes me sad. So. So. Sad.

I love graphic design and illustrating on the computer. But I'm seriously developing some major carpal tunnel which is my body's alarm telling me I need a break.

I've been doodling a lot lately, and today I have found myself drawing organic things using almost all circles and arcs. It's been fun and interesting to see how these little critters I've made turn out using only circular elements.

I challenge you to doodle using one specific graphic element: circle, square, rectangle... drawing organic things using the abstract shapes will surely come out more dynamic than my simple circles.

Maybe I will return to my doodles and make a series depicting each critter with different shapes.

Equipped with my circles stencil here are a few doodles I've made:

You may recognize this diva from my Silk Screen debacle.

It's a cloud! It's a tree! No! It's a sheep ready for shearing.

These lovebirds are still under construction.

Back to the grind to clean up my doodles.... I need to re-stock my art supplies. I have one pencil left. My paints are stocked but no papers. I think these critters are asking to be made in marker.

Show me your stuff! I want to see what you have made! Leave a link in the comments....

****Disclaimer**** I hate to be a stickler, but these are my drawings and are my intellectual property. Because they have been published within this medium they are copyrighted and you may not sell them. I am flattered if you deem my doodles worthy to copy- which you can privately, but do not pass them off as your own. Give credit to where credit is due. Always conduct yourself in a dignified manner, because if you don't believe in God's Judgement Day, you best believe in Karma because she is a total bitch and doesn't wait around for that Judgement Day to come.
