I don't have much to show for this Saturday's Sketchdump because I expended most of my creative juices on purple buffalo this week! I do have one page of completely random doodles:

Today is one of those days... the kind where no matter how hard you try you just aren't going to get anything done? There comes a point during those days where you just gotta give up and do nothing instead. I have reached that point. Here's to nothing! A bit of an early Sabbath! I guess I need it. ♥

Man, I'm going to miss having no day job. But maybe if my secret project is a smashing success I won't have to get a real job! I can dream, can't I?

Sketchdump • August 4-9

As promised! Technically the second installment of the Saturday Sketchdump series... I'll also be posting these daily on my instagram in case anyone does that.

Stuff for the secret project... buffalo studies! Buffalo are like bear-cows. They kind of scare me.

Now I'm off to check in on job applications and pick up some dining room chairs that I got from freecycle!

Fandom Sketches

I need to update more often than once a week... I kind of needed a break last week after the craft show... plus, with Jamie leaving in a few weeks for Nebraska and his 6-week math research program, I'll be wanting to spend more time with him! But when he's gone I'll need lots of distraction, so you should be seeing more designs and such from me at that point... But I just made a really big sale, which is also my first from South Africa! So that is very encouraging... I was considering taking a little vacation from Scoutaroo but now I have a renewed interest + excitement about it. I like it when people like my stuff... ♥

Ok, now for the fun stuff; here are some doodles of some fandoms I've been geeking out over lately!

Harry Potter, of course! Never gets old... been watching "A Very Potter Musical" which is brilliant!!

And a few from Game of Thrones (currently in the middle of Book 4)... I love Dany + Drogo ♥... if Jamie liked horses he could totally be my Khal! ;)

Today is Jamie's LAST day at work!! We are celebrating with a movie tonight and probably a couple of drinks. And I have lots of mail to catch up on... I can't keep up with you fools. But it's been too long since I've taken the time to write a letter, so I'm looking forward to it. ♥

Stay classy internet people,

Saturday Sketchdump: Golems & Girls

I'm trying to sketch every day in my sketchbook... anything I feel like sketching, as long as I sketch. And I'd like to post the week's doodles every Saturday. We will see how long this lasts... knowing me, this will be the first and final "Saturday Sketchdump" post, haha.

Anyway, I only have Wednesday-Friday's sketches to post! Next Saturday you will have a full week's worth of doodles to gawk at.

4•10 - Inspired by the Genesis song "The Brazilian" [LISTEN TO IT. Genesis is amazing] I always picture huge mountain golems rising out of the earth when I hear that song...

4•11 - this image
4•12 - Illustration Friday's prompt prompted a crazy crayon-scribbled derby girl... I have my first bout in Santa Cruz IN ONE WEEK!!

Hope you like!
