Hammer Time!

Parachute pants from my Grandma! Can't touch this!

I drew this illustration of a book I just finished. Except in my own way.


Panda Bread! I tried translating, but I only managed the ingredients. Now my brain hurts.

~Ja matane!~
~Rickshaw is actually Jinrikisha, made of the symbols Jin--Person, Riki--Power, Sha--Vehicle.~

Lazy...

Ugh... It's been a while huh? I've been going through a sickness-lazyness-uncreativeness phase. For a very long time too. So to make up for the almost four month absence, I decided I'll post again around every week on things I think are cool. Think of it as an easier way to email all my friends on new funny cool and interesting things. So for my first post in a long time, I will tell you about my old drawings that are new for you, my latest photoshop exploring, and San Fransisco.



Here are my drawings! *Da-dadada!* I call the series "Fowllet". Get it? Fowl is bird and ballet mixed together! Anywho, it's just some random bird inspired ballet dancers. And yes, Crow is supposed to be black and white.


Okay, so next on the list is my exploration of Photoshop. I discovered a brilliant way to draw! All you do is draw the seperate face parts, the head with hair, and the body and clothes. Then you scan and photoshop everything on top of eachother and resize them and you get a perfectly proportioned person! Brilliant!


And last of all, I went to San Francisco on Sunday to go to the Renegade craft fair! I loved it there, I even saw the very popular Black Apple. I bought a Scarab beetle necklace, My older sister got a shirt, and my little sister got a Shadow Puppet Yetti. I was going to get one of these seller's bracelets, but it was really expensive. And I got a pair of long-wanted chopsticks.


~The end~
~Want to know something cool? The Japanese word for puppet is made up of two symbols: Nin=Human, Gyou=Form. Human Form!~

Bill and Buttons

This is a Girl named Buttons the Great. She is 13 and doesn't want to grow up. She owns the Anti-Adult Asociation, also known as Triple A or AAA. Her sheep is named Shawn, and she and the vice president love to decorate him.
And this is Bill the Lazy Platypus, Spot the Loyal Bug, and Good ol' Fred the TV. And Bill's girlfriend. Notice everything in the picture is named except for her. And she is angrily knitting while he is drinking coke and watching TV.

~I like sheep!~

Feeling... artistic

Yes, I am felling very artistic lately. This "Illuminated Letter" as my teacher calls it, Isn't actually an example though. I just got this back from social studies. I got 10 extra credit points for this.
This is an actual example. I just Wednesday came up with a new way of drawing. This is my version of Eve holding the fruit from the forbidden tree. I wonder where Adam is...
This picture is one of my favorites. I'm really into robots lately. She has just been exposed as a cyborg, and is anxiously awaiting the response of horror.

~Don't be too harsh on her, It's not like she decided to be half robot.~

Earrings and Such

Woah, sorry about how late this post is, I forgot and went camping. So, at my grandma's house, she has miniature silverware and scissors and random pendant things, perfect for earrings.
She let me have two of the scissors and earring wires, so I came home and finally finished up all of my saving-for-a-day-when-I-have-earring-wires projects. I got my bottle cap earrings done, and also had my dad help me make an earring holder. Yay for drill bits and long-forgotten picture frames!


~By the way, the scissors open and close. Aren't small things cute?~

Camping

Yes, I have an explanation for my absence. I didn't do anything last week. That's it. But, today, overcoming my illness, I will post.

I went camping this weekend. We went to a small campsite in Spooner's Cove in Montana de Oro. It definitely wasn't that good of a vacation. We got there late, 5 o' clock, and started a fire. The fire died out in 10 minutes and didn't come back. So we ate our dinner in the trailor. The next day we went on two wonderful hikes. Here's a ton of nature pics of them.

^Sticky Monkey Flower^

^Indian Brush^

^Weird Asparagus-looking Plant^

^Wild Blackberry^

^Old Man's Beard^

^Morning Glory (This flower only has one petal and sucks up your nose when you sniff it)^
^Weird Flower^
^Eucalyptus Bloom^
And here is the delicious fruit salad I made.

~It was kinda a short post today, huh?~

Old and New... and a new band member!

Well, you probably don't know what I mean by a "new band member". In fact, I've never even mentioned a band before, so let me explain. My big sister has a desire to make a techno band. It kinda is just a dream, but last night my dad brought home a super totally awesome keyboard that records and layers multiple riffs. If that doesn't make sense, it basically means you can record a melody in one instrument and record another melody with another instrument and play it together. Ya. I know. It's awesome. Me and Andrea already made a song. Yes, so if I am a member of the band (You know how big sisters are, the friends are their group) my stage name will be Ningyou.

Okay, so, old and new.






The first is my favorite. It's my newest drawing of a small bird named Tiney. In case you still don't get it, It has fork legs, thus Tiney. The second is a fairly new drawing of a street performer (Robot), Panda and Hobo. The third is an old picture of two old friends: Turtle and Hare. They are both old and cranky. The last is a very old picture of a lady trying to train an ant, inspired by my Social Studies teacher's constant remarks about how teaching us is like teaching an ant.

~See ya!~
