What I Did On My Holiday

I love the smell of dish soap in the morning.

She’s got her groove on…

So, this is a sketch from earlier today.  Because I realize some people might open this at work or around small children, I put it under a cut.  It’s not graphic or even suggestive.  She doesn’t even have nipples.  It’s just that I never got around to drawing her clothes after I built her form, so she’s, you know, just sorta out there.

You’re all too dang serious

For the Aspiring Artist

Saturday, March 14th, 2009

Allow me to preface this post by explaining that I am a self taught artist, and while I feel I have made some decent progress in my journey as such, learning has been difficult without the professional instruction and guidance one receives from study at an Art Institute.  I believe all artists never actually emerge from the aspiring phase of the journey.  We all are pretty self-critical, and we always feel like there is so much that we haven’t learned yet.

But being self taught, I think the burden might be a bit heavier.  Mind you, I’m speaking from the perspective of one who has always been self taught (having never learned anything from that art class I took in 6th grade, that I didn’t already know), so I really can’t speak for those who are taking the path of Art School.  On a side note, allow me to congratulate those who are taking the Art School path, because I am insane with jealousy.

That all said, I must also explain…

Trolls are sad drunks…

Trolls are sad drunks.

Trolls are sad drunks.

My challenge to you:  Write a poem about the sad, sad, drunken troll.  Come on.  You know you want to.  Besides, it might cheer him up.  And a little FYI, stories are acceptable in lieu of poems.
