Orange

Bought some Tangerines that were on SALE! Woo! Being broke is nothing new, but being broke and on my own is a whole different beast entirely. I'm learning new skills like how to eat when I barely have $100 left over from working to feed myself per month and how to juggle three different credit cards so I can also afford my $1100/month tuition fees. 

Oh well, life goes on. I'm grateful for all I have and am pushing myself harder than ever before just to survive. 

I am still working on the comic about the Balloon at the Carnival, if anyone has ideas for a title leave them in the comments because I have no idea what I will title it as. More on that in future posts, probably next week or this weekend.

I reached 70 characters for my Muni People series! If you have been following me on Instagram you have had a front row seat to the entire thing! I slowed down a bit on them because I started to draw anyone and everyone just to reach 100, but when I did that they turned out to not be as special as the others, so if I'm lagging on those, that is why. Although last night a asian guy made a face at me so I'll post that and more on here either later tonight or tomorrow. 

Thank you so much for your continued support and I hope you are all well and didn't catch that awful flu that was going around! 

Peace!

"Days of Summer" Challenge

Recently, not too recently, I joined my buddy Adam's Pin-Up Challenge. There are a couple of really great artists on there and the challenges are monthly(?).

This was my submission. Granted this is not a pin-up, but it got the point across of my distaste for San Francisco's "Summer". 

There is a lot happening in this, a lot of exploring and many things that worked and many that didn't. All in all I spent a lot of time fiddling with this for the outcome to be sub-par to what I had wanted, but I learned quite a bit from finishing it and not just tossing it aside. 

Good times, c'est la vie. 

Our Family

Final

In July Nima and I moved in together and took over my sister and brother-in-laws apartment as they are now in New Zealand for a year or so. We also have been taking care of their bunny named Herman. Together we have become a close family and his mom, my sister, visits once a month from work so he always has a chance to see her. 

This is a quick little illustration I did showing how we all fell asleep together this evening. I am trying a lot of new things here including a new program. It was a fun and useful exercise even if I didn't achieve exactly what I had hoped with this. 

 Here is some of my process if you care to see it. :)

Cheers! 

Cover Image?

I ended up spending some time creating this compilation of sketches I had in my sketchbook and started to play around with them.. Turned out to be a lot of fun, learned that making a multiply layer makes my life easier and faster! 

Thoughts on making this my banner image for my blog? Anyone?

Can't Hardly Wait

Quick sketch of my favorite childhood crush; Seth Green!

Little 10 min speed painting of a place back home by Cape Cod (I think)

Very loose but you get the idea.. might turn this into something more but for now just an image of home.
