dogs with human faces

i was trying to draw my second near death experience, but it's tricky. dogs are hard to draw. so today i will post my practice drawings for the dogs.
and the scariest/one that looks least like a dog:

Also, you can totally see the outline of my poop death drawing. that's how hard i draw.

Near Death Drawing #1



I've begun a series of drawings featuring ways I've almost died in Chicago. For my first drawing you will notice how I could have died while taking a dump on the toilet. See how the globe covering the bathroom's lightbulb fell- for no reason other than to murder me- right on my head. Poor me, I'm dead now!
In case you are curious, I was spared Death by mere seconds. In real life, I just finished wiping up down there and had just stood up to wash my hands when the globe SHATTERED to SMITHEREENSSSSS behind me. 


WHEW!

Day seven or something

So, this was gonna happen eventually, just thought i'd get it out of the way. My Georgia O'Keefe/Alfred Stieglitz homage. s. 
And for kicks:

 
In other news, that circular object below the window in the last post is a plate. on my windowsill. Is that how one spells windowsill? I could look it up i guess. I just never really had to use windowsill in any form of writing i've ever done. hmm.

day threeish

This was gonna be my bathtime post, alas until my drawing skills improve a bit that will wait... and by improve i mean when i'm not so tired i spend more than two minutes drawing something.


so... here's the thing i found growing on an old chunk of ginger root! 
Though Kara may look horrified by the alien creature that is gestating on this moldy ginger bit, she's actually just in the middle of a story. that's probably more a glare than horror.

and yes, that is a mini blue sharpie hanging out in the green candle. why? why not.

Here's a higher quality image of my elevator drawing:


omigod i gotta go take a dump.

Daw t

wwo!!!!!!
I think my keyboard hates me.
So, I totally got trapped in the elevator at work today. That's the sears tower. Being trapped in an elevator in the tallest building in the states SUCKSSSSS.
I tried to reimagine the experience, it was traumatic lemme tell you!
The for real camera is currently dead, apologies for the crappier cell phone quality.




Crappier than i expected. Here be a series!!!






Still, i got uber excited when i figured out how to send pictures from my phone to the computer without internets. Bluetooth, who fuckin knew?
This blog will also chronicle my emergence into the 20th century. or whatever.


So, i got stuck in the elevator, our securty cards don't work for this particular one, and every floor the elevator was called to was empty (SCARY) and i had to wait for someone in the lobby to call it. I almost called security, (DAMMIT I FORGOT TO DRAW THE STUPID PHONE), but was saved JIT: just in time. is that a thing? i can never figure out that shit.


LAME. I have to leave for work in like an hour. good thing i slept this afternoon. my sleep schedule gets all fuddled by the end of the week. but you don't give a snail's shit about that do you?

in fact, i'm not even sure why i mentioned that. Here's an elevator phone:

Day EINNN


My first post. The three things in my room I'm most ashamed of.


1. Lady in the Water. 
2. Crappy 3D glasses.
3. The bottle I use to urinate when the bathroom is taken and I have to pee so bad that I actually have a bottle to pee into in my room.


Also see if you can find: 
Carrot cake ordered from a mediterranean restaraunt
Sandwich for lunch/dinner that has not been eaten (though it was ordered four hours earlier)
Delicious soup!
Stein of water
Polar bears
A HOWARD!!!
A ukelele
A Poe
And that lamp isn't usually there, it's just an indication of how much i futzed around while trying to take this godawful portrait.
ARE YOU READY FOR MORE OF THIS KINDA CRAP????


stay tuned...
