stuff and stuff

jaws forever

thanks to netflix i can watch Jaws and all of it's sequels as much as i want, guess what i did today....yeah but i didn't make it to Jaws: The revenge...because after the 3rd one i just wanted to watch the original again.

i'm tired

seriously...i've just felt really worn out for no reason. stuff's coming soon, i was out and about all weekend so i just did some sketching and haven't gotten a real chance to paint stuff up yet. and i've been crafting, so there's that...and i hada bad night saturday after dnd

i made all these guys over the weekend


speaking of which, i finally updated my etsy shop...which is more time consuming/annoying than i remember...so i'm sure my descriptions are lame...

poster draft

i like where this is headed, text later when things for the event solidify. thoughts?

done with Noro silk garden yarn using a twisted rib stitch




and now art!

owl cowl

i still owe myself one more to get caught up..probably a lot more after that gross sketchbook work...buuuuttt i'm working on valentines, and i am sooo close to finishing my scarf. so here ya go

DED owl

made entirely from scratch in illustrator...something i have never done before, whoopie!

groovy sktechbookin

some of this is sketchbook bs...but i drew things with my hands and they are there. my scanner is still not working, because i am no good with technology. but i'll get there.

i've made a lot of progress on my scarf, which is good because today was COLD!!! productivity is productivity...onto the art!

update

i haven't died or quit... stuff's coming.

i'm trying to make my scanner work and i've been obsessively knitting a cowl to try and get it done while it;s still winter.

abe's DED

when i said scanner willing....

...i meant it. i cannot get this damn ting to work..anyways here's a photo f what i drew today...

i was going to drunkenly fumble through a decemberists show posterafter seeing them live...but apparently people can't handle snow, ever...the show isn't even canceled so i can't get my ticket money back. damn weather pussies...we only got 6 inches...not blizzard weather at all.

BITTER

introducing DED

Hello everyone, today marks the beginning of February a cold, windy month with no hope of spring and my birthday is a day or so away. i will be 27. This has always been some magical age for me so now that i'm finally there i don't really know how to feel...disappointed i guess. Nothing to show for it, no respect , no love, no website, no money, no (real) job, no ANYTHING!

I've had a new ocmputer for a month and barley lifted a finger. My drafting table and desk are covered with junk (not that that's new) and despite loving where i am living right now i've settled into a lazy and not terribly creatively productive routine.

In attempts to correct this i am starting DESIGN EVERY DAY or DED (dead) for short. Because if i don't do this i may as well be dead.

For the entire month of February I will design, draw, craft or create something to completion everyday. I'm leaving the spectrum wide open for myself so i can try and choose interesting topics that i can get done quickly, because i also have a life to live, jobs to search for and a laundry list of ongoing creative projects that cannot be done in a day.
This will keep me on my toes, make me organize my tiny space even more and try and get this blog back on track.

Scanner permitting i will post each project here at the end of each day. For me the day ends when I go to sleep so count on a lot of 2 am posts. If I go away on weekends or somehow cannot post a picture the night of (let's face it, my birthday IS coming up) I will post double/triple the next day...so by the end of this month i will have at least 28 things...HOORAY!

For today i made the first of many logos for DED, it's aqua and ochre yellow...my favs. As an extra I also complete a pinup. here ya go internet, see you tomorrow...
