How the World Ended in 6 Short Months
Okay, the world didn’t end. I’m being melodramatic. After being dumped, graduating, and being terrified by the recession it certainly feels like the world ended.
Not that I thought I was the only one or anything but I was pleased to see this article on Slate. Yes, there are plenty of families going through tough times but there are also people just starting out who went to college, are swamped with the debt from education, and can’t find work or work in constant fear of loosing their jobs.
Hi, mom and dad guess what? Until I turn 35 I’m going to have to live with you because, well, I only make $400 dollars a month and you should of heard what happened when I asked for more hours at work, anyways, do you think you could lend me some money?
Somehow, I was tricked into thinking that, if I go to university, life would be better for me, instead, I’m doing nearly the same job I had in school (except I’m technically making less money). I don’t even know if I regret it either…
$3.50
Unfortunately, I’m entirely aware of the lack of visitors on this site. It’s probably for the best considering the inane and pointless drivel I type; however, I’ve decided to sell a little journal I designed the cover for on cafepress.com in the hopes that someone (other than my self) might purchase it and thereby support my desire not to be in the red in the following months. Look, it’s quite lovely! Really, it has pages and an image on the cover…and for every journal that is purchased I make…$3.50.
Do I expect anyone to actually buy one? No. Not really. I’m just bored and the fast food places I’ve applied at to get a second job aren’t returning my calls Xp .
Fly Away
Worked on this last night while I couldn’t sleep. I was up until at least 5am. Debt monsters threatened to chase me in my dreams. So, I parked myself in front of my computer and began to draw. Wanting to escape produced this I suppose.Bubble is a simple vector drawing. It didn’t take very long to make so I’m sure you can see a lot of mistakes in the full view version. I wanted the girl in it to look sassy and kind of indifferent. Originally she wasn’t floating away with the bubble but I thought it would be a cute twist. Ignore the fact it is impossible
. I’m rather pleased with the way it turned out, though, her hair and face reminds me a little of a monkey. In General
I mentioned in a previous post that I had a relative in the hospital
. I was informed that everything was okay but now there is a little caveat. Something that was thought to not be a problem may be a problem and yet also might be nothing… Say Anything.
I’m not sure if you are aware but I have a fantastic record of being quite dismal. Occasionally, I will look at cheerful people and marvel. I know some people who are particularly dreary have a tendency to wish ill upon there more sunny counterparts but I look at them with awe. The ability to be happy is astounding to me.
Smiling is so unnatural.
I want to be on a regimen of sorts to do things that make me feel happier or at least less morose.
So, I’m going to try to smile more. Even if people suggest that I look like I’m in pain when I do Xp .
The Oppressive House
Flurry
I think I mentioned in a previous post that I’ve been churning out a lot of artwork lately
. I’ve been moody, cranky, and committed to completing the little images that pop into my head.
This is, Suddenly Yesterday. It is my most recent vector drawing. I had a lot of fun working on this over a period of two days. The expression of the little boy and the floating house are my favorite parts. I probably will continue to tweak the buildings. Adding more details and correcting mistakes. 
After, is clearly another vector drawing. I’m partial to it as well. A girl singing on a stool. Something soulful I’m sure. I wish my hair was wavy like that! My favorite detail is the tiny feet. 
This drawing didn’t come out the way I intended. Titled, Kat, after Katherine Hamlet it vaguely refers to Ophelia. The body of the girl is more awkward than bodies usually are in my drawings and it looks almost like she’s hanging from the branches, which, was never my intention.Read the rest of this entry »
