Elves
Here are two elves I did for a commission. These elves were rejected (there is a third more glamorous elf vixen that was approved
) so I’ve decided to post them here. I thought they were cutesy and certainly deserving of a view. I added the ‘moon-gem.com’ stamp and the lines to ensure that no one else would use the images. I think they would be perfect for some Christmas stationary.One Summer Dream
Useless Knowledge
Today’s capstone is one I finished a few days ago. “Deep waters flow, out to the sea,” is a lyric from Electric Light Orchestra’s One Summer Dream. The Peacock t-shirt can be found at Plasticland as well as the black leggings. The crate in which the girl is seated on reads, 『レモンサンキスト』 or Lemon Sunkist. So, there you go! Useless knowledge for you!It’s a Living Thing
Cute!
Now, ignoring thinly disguised advertisements…
It’s August. The summer is nearly over and as some are heading back to school I’m trudging on with work. Nevertheless I keep getting anxious every time I hear the dreaded words, “Back to School”. No, its too early. Don’t send me fliers about your amazing sale on notebooks and crayons Walmart! Do you have any idea the harm you do to my delicate psyche?I know I can’t be the only person out there who loathed school.
I did well in school mind you… I just found the entire affair stressful. However, it was necessary, and now all that education has paid off . . .
Everything
The following are some of my favorite Alice links: If you are a fan of Alice’s Adventures there is an excellent book called Annotated Alice. It contains interesting facts about Carroll, Victorian England, and of course Alice Liddell ( I believe it also reveals hidden math puzzles but cannot recall as I cannot locate my copy at the moment).
I’m going to be patiently waiting for 2010 to roll around. Perhaps I’ll watch a few of the creepier stop motion versions of the movie or rent Dreamchild.
/// edit:
I can’t believe I forgot to include Gwen Stefani’s interesting interpretation.

Let’s Go To Tesco!
I actually have been working on, “Let’s Go To Tesco” for awhile. It wasn’t that it was difficult or that it ended up being anything of quality… I just spaced out a bit while drawing it.
I’m not entirely sure why I decided on Tesco. I think I read that the chain was coming to the states only to find out it was coming here under another brand name (Fit and Fresh,Thin and Lively, or Pert and Perky some such nonsense that will go over well here).
I do a lot of grocery shopping. Quick trips with paltry amounts of cash in hand. I generally forget my eco bags and feel like a dolt…
I’ll remember someday.
Brain Failure
I’m recovering from massive migraine that hit me suddenly Monday evening. This has nothing to do with the fact that I’m slowly forgetting the tiny amount of Japanese I knew. I just went to write something for Iron Mouse to say and was unable to construct a sentence. Therefore, instead of posting the lovely image I initially created you get this monstrosity.
