The Daily Dose

So I was cleaning out my room, a spring cleaning that is. Well, while shuffling things around I found a few of my sketch books that i've had since high school. well i've posted a few for you to see. a few are from high school, college, and just a few weeks ago.

So at work last week I find out that everyone was sent an e-mail about creating a interpretation of Mickey, or as they called it, “Mickey By….” So this past weekend
I did my view of Mickey in the style that I enjoy doing the most. I see mickey as
grand, a burst of energy, something classic that can fit into any design that is popular at that time. I hope you enjoy it :)

After going over the guest list today for Alan's and I's wedding, I just feel absolutely drained. So many people to include, and just not enough money to have the wedding I've always wanted. I know I know, no one ever gets their dream wedding, but I'm not really asking for much. I just want a nice reception with all my friends and family all together eating, laughing, drinking, and dancing.

I have fond memories of weddings from my aunts and uncles. The church wedding where the bride enters and all eyes are on her, how everyone is so happy and claps when the priest says, "you may now kiss your bride", and everyone then jumping into their cars or crossing the street to the reception where there are tables with pretty flower center pieces, a dance floor with a DJ playing 80's music, a fog machine, the bar where all my uncles went to drink, and a large wedding cake looming in the background.


Those were the weddings I remember and always hoped that I too would have one day. Now with the reading and tv watching I've done about weddings, at times I feel overwhelmed and we haven't even done anything yet. Just thinking about all the work to be done is daunting. It scares me, it really does. At times looking at the wedding magazines or the tv shows causes it, everything is so perfect. Yes there is a huge crew that sets up the photos and tv shows, but it would be nice if my own wedding could emulate them.

I know that the perfect wedding shouldn't be so hard pressed at the end of the day Alan and I will be man and wife, and really that's what it is all about. But, there is that little girl in me that has always dreamed of a princess wedding.

So, I'm working on this snow white deal that work is putting together. we were asked to illustrate a disney princess for the Snow White anniversary thing. well, here is a first drawing of my snow white. i originally wanted to do a Pin-up snow white...but i guess that wouldn't go over too well, so she still has the pin-up pose, but she's just a little more covered. Right now i'm working on the wood creatures and when i get more done i'll put them up.

So thanks to my brother here is a nifty little site if you have some time to spend

www.theleetworld.com


This site has funny game shorts, and a story with episodes. I have to say my favorite by far is the short:

Portal: A day in the life of a Turret



so check out the fun!

Every time I look at the clock, it seems like it hasn't moved. I'm not
really excited about summer this year. Alan is going away in about a month til the second week of July...sad day, and I really have no plans. There is a chance for a family trip to Hawaii, but thats been going on forever. For no reason at all, I just feel sad...don't know why. uggg.....i swear it was 4:36 like 5 mins ago. okay okay....lets see what should the website of the day should be?

The site is pretty adorable, you cant understand a thing because its all in Japanese
but they have cute cups, toys, bags, and kitchen items.

So I know there are times that I get a brain freeze when I have to figure out color combos.
While searching the web for inspiration I found this website!

http://www.colourlovers.com/

This website is great, it shows you colors, color palettes, and patterns. Not only do they show you the colors, but you can download the swatch to your computer. So, whenever you are in a jam, check this place out.
