Fontsters!

In my drawing class, we had to make our own alphabet using as many different marks as we could.

I chose to go with a theme... a monster theme, naturally.

I might see about doing names and stuff on etsy.... only time will tell ;)

finding inspiration in strange places

I have been watching LA Ink lately. It was a show I did not expect to really care for, but I find it really inspiring. From the actual art itself to the stories people share.. it's just really a good show for me. I have thought about becoming a tattoo artist.. but I am just not confidant enough with my art as it is to permanently do it on someone's body. Anyway, the show really has got me drawing more, and working through my issues with value and shading.. Imagine that!

I have got to say that I think Kat von D, herself, is also very inspiring. She is a young woman that found her calling, and is making a crap load of money with her business and branding. Just having started this Indie Business course, I have a feeling I will see a lot of similarities in Kat's stories about her venture to become successful and the woman I will get to know.

//plus, I think she is beautiful.

oh, yummy!

Today, Adam and I went to Green, which we haven't done in.... forever. As always, it was excellent. We also look forward to seeing what the special is going to be for the day since it isn't ever something that's on the menu. Today the special was a Big Wac, which was a vegan version of a big mac, and it was effing AMAZING. Afterward we went to the Antique Trove right down the street, and pretty much wanted everything in the store.

On Thursday, a few participating movie theaters are playing a Mystery Science Theater 3000! A friend and I are definitely going to be there.

There are a few prints I have been wanting for a while now... they look something like this.

I am totally wanting to get all new (old) furniture for the apartment, but if we are going to be moving to sacramento sometime in the near future, I think I can wait. And as soon as I have money, I am getting these prints (hopefully).
