Actually I suspect you can skip the first 8 if you just do the last one.
Yeah, seriously. I don’t fancy myself a great novelist, but perhaps it is because I don’t have a neglected spouse or a loyal pet.
But just for the record:
Childhood trauma: Limited.
Miserable job: Yes, but who hasn’t had at least one of those?
Moment of Self-Discovery: Not that I recall.
Episode of debauchery: I’m only allowed one?!
Pathologic ambition: Check.
Loyal pet: Nope.
Neglected spouse: I hope not.
Personal demons: Well, sure, but again, who doesn’t?
Years of boring hard work: Yes, although as years of boring hard work go, it beats, like, silver mining. And finance.
I’m gonna put “It beats silver mining. And Finance.” on a poster and hang it in my office so when I am feeling too tired to blog or stressed out from trying to draw things that actually look like things, I will remember how lucky I am.
Hello internet, mommy missed you.
The First Thing: I have an art job! A friend wants me to design an image for her to use for her palm reading business (because these are the kinds of friends I have).
The Second Thing: I have been practicing classic tattoo designs and have several pages worth in my sketchbook. I will probably scan and share some when I have more time.
The Third Thing: I will be starting a tumblr that will just be for completed art works. It will be respectable looking because I made the mistake of telling my mom I post my artwork online and she wants a link. Once I get it all set up I will link it here.
The Fourth and Final: I’m still drawing and painting lots of dinosaurs. It’s very fun, and I often find myself hoping for photo references before I remember. Poor dinosaurs.
