Do you ever have days like this? Days that are just bllllaaagh.
I wish my kitties puked rainbows... That'd be much easier to clean up than the awkward orange cat food vomit they puke instead.

I don't know what was going on in my head today... But I drew this senior portrait of an alien.
His name is Bgxxt. It's a really common name for aliens actually.
I think I might have a problem....

Two sketches today. I tried to do one of Daniel Boone when he was awake. But he moved too much so he's a little awkward looking.
But it's okay because I also have THIS! This is my baby Jesse James! He was all cute and snuggly the other day! He LOVES the cold weather. He's always super friendly and lovely when it gets cold out.
Love love!

This guy lives in a distant distopian future. Better watch yourselves or you might end up there too.
I haven't drawn this guy in YEARS... I wonder if he'll ever forgive me? Probably not, he looks pretty scary.

I had a VERY productive day at work today. Too bad it wasn't work related specifically...
More sketches of Rabbit and Woodchuck!
More sketches of Rabbit and Woodchuck!
Rabbit has on fuzzy slippers today!
I did another sketch of the shoeless angel.
You'd think after all this time he'd be able to get some shoes from SOMEWHERE... But obviously that's not totally high on his priority list.

Today is just another of one of those days where everything was going okay and then BAM. This:
He's... a... vampire? Or... something?

Remember this story?
Woodchuck is kind of a failure when it comes to common sense safety... Here he is trying to touch hot things on the stove.
Rabbit is wearing slippers! I just want eveyone to see that :D

Today a drew some sort of creature. I think he's a demon or something.
I'm always trying to do different poses but I always end up doing the same ones over and over. But that means I'm fairly good at those particular poses haha

One last sketch from my Chicago trip!
Although this one isn't TOTALLY horrible :D
A big griffin today! There are lots of little griffins lately, but not many big ones. So here's one to hold you over a while longer!

I went to Chicago to go to a concert with my BFF this weekend. So I have some really awful sketches :D
This is my BFF's dog. He was sleeping while I lost the puppy.
It's not really my fault that I lost the puppy... SOMEBODY told me that the puppy couldn't get out of the fenced yard. But she could apparently. And she did. And I lost her.
So I had to call my friend and be like "soooo... I lost your dog?" But it's okay because the neighbor found her again. It really made me look like an intelligent adult :D

I also named him Bobbit. Just FYI.

Just some little doodlies today.
AV wanted a little raccoon. I wanted to do something a little more realistic, but that didn't happen obviously.
And I also drew a tea bag. Because I use them everyday. Fun fact.

My husband had to work late today so it was just me and "the kids" tonight.
We watched a movie.
We watched a movie.
Somebody loved it.
This is my husband's cat. He doesn't like me much. Except for when nobody else is home and he's lonely for his daddy.
He's got a thing for dudes I think. He also adores my dad.
But actually, it's okay because he's got a weird habit of licking your exposed skin. It's creepy weird.

I was trying to think of things that little griffins might do. And what's better than Saturday morning cartoons?
Granted, I'm actually not certian that Saturday morning cartoons even exist anymore... But if they did, that'd be something that little griffins would absolutely do.

We went to see Enchanted when it first came out. Heck yes I saw a children's movie on my 21st birthday! They had it at the library the other day so I saw it again!
I really like that movie haha Giselle's blue and white dress is THE BEST. I LOVE how she makes it out of the curtians and they have dress shapes cut out of them when they're still over the windows. Because that's how you make clothes apparently.
So I drew Giselle. Because that's what I've been building up to this whole time.
Surprise!

So I got a "real person job" wherein I have to get up at six am and work five days a week. I'm not a fan. And I also work at my other job on Sundays. So... That means that I don't do a very good job of updating the blog. So here's three weeks of sketches, get excited!
Today I drew this!

Yesterday I drew a little winged kitty. And what goes with a winged kitty?
A winged DOGGY!
I think these guys would be pretty cute in a baby's room or something :)
I also did a couple more sketches today!
This is AV's kitty Skippyjon Jones, aka: Princess Moth-Bear.
I also drew Blackberry!
Cheers!

In Knoxville, AV and I found a little cast iron kitty. It has little angel wings on it and we brought it home!
I took it in my carry-on because I didn't want to break it or somebody else's stuff because it's pretty heavy. So of course I got tagged by TSA and they had to search in my bag. The lady that was looking in my bag was grinning really huge when she figured out why my bag was tagged in the x-ray.
I also got tagged because I had a gum wrapper in my pocket. So apparently I am a terrorist because I am trying to bring a gum wrapper and a little kitty sculpture onto an airplane. DANGER, WILL ROBINSON!!!

We had to leave Tennessee today :(
I was not thrilled by this activity.
I drew the guy sitting across from us in the airport. He was watching something on his computer I think. He was just kind of staring blankly and biting his lip. It was slightly weird.

So I drew one.

So, let me set the scene for you:
AV and I were driving in the Smokey Mountains this evening. He was driving because it was an extra 13$ for me to be a driver on the rental agreement. And we are cheap cheap so I was not allowed to drive. But, I was sitting in the passenger seat, minding my own business, when BAM! WOODCHUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.
So I clearly informed the driver of this piece of information by going "WOAH! Woodchuck."
It was very helpful and AV totally understood what I was saying and was not at all confused and didn't continue driving directly towards the woodchuck on the side of the road.

PS. We did not hit the woodchuck with our car. Just so everybody is aware....

AV and I went to a glass blowing class today! So I had to draw my paperweight on it's little metal stick thingy that I've already forgotten the name of.
But here it is!
I hope it's awesome when it arrives :D
JK I know it will be, because I made it and I'm basically a genius.*
Cheers!
Red
*What did I tell you about letting me have my moment??? JUST LET ME HAVE IT, OKAY?

Glass Blowing Class!
My friend's wedding was over Labor Day weekend. So, everlasting love, blah blah blah whatever. My friend being all nervous and excited to see his bride. LAME.*
But what was REALLY awesome was that AV and I went to a GLASS BLOWING STUDIO AND MADE PAPERWEIGHTS.
We went to Marble City Glassworks in Knoxville. We didn't realize it was in somebody's personal studio so we were pretty confused when the address matched up to a house rather than some sort of industrial setting. But once we got into the studio, we figured out it was pretty sweet.
Who would have thought that molten glass would make the studio so so hot? Obviously not me who sweated through all their underwear. Too much information? Probably.
AV and I got to make TWO paperweights each. It was amazing. Seriously. It was THE. BEST.
We worked with Matt, who was fabulous, patient and so so helpful. I seriously cannot say enough about how awesome this experience was. We're going to have to go back so we can actually make some blown glass!
Here's AV rounding out his paperweight!
Tip: Do NOT try to touch the glass at any point... It might look like super awesome taffy or ice or something fabulous to touch. BUT IT IS NOT. IT IS NOT AWESOME TO TOUCH.
I cannot say this enough... IT IS NOT AWESOME TO TOUCH THE GLASS. NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT.
But in all seriousness, if you are in the Knoxville area, look up Marble City Glassworks. No joke. They offer private two hour classes where you'll experience something totally unlike the art you've ever done before.
Cheers!
Red
*Okay, just to clarify, I am totally kidding.... My friend and his wife were adorable and I am so so happy for them. I just wanted to throw that up there for those kids who have no sense of humor :)

I'll post photos when we get our finished paperweights. The studio has to ship them to us because it didn't occur to me that the glass would have to take a couple of days to cool from being MOLTEN. So get excited for those!

We've made it into September!
We're in Knoxville (which I LOVE!) got drinks tonight at a bar. This is what mine looked like!

One of my best friends from high school is getting married!
We only gave them a check so I wanted to do something special as well. I drew/painted a picture of their dog on their wedding card!

This is supposed to be the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland, but... I think he looks a lot like Buster Baxter from Arthur....

Today I have a griffin on a bicycle!
Cupcake's bike has those little rainbow colored things on his weels. I love those things... I should get some for my bike. That'd be awesome.
I also drew all of the Little Griffin's bicycles!
Blackberry is the youngest so he still has a big wheel. Also he has a flag so everybody else can find him in the long grasses!

Three sketches today!
This is Alfred. He's an alien. He has green skin, long ears and antennas. He also wears a bowtie. AND he usually has a cane and a top hat.

When I was younger, I was OBSESSED with NeoPets. I used to have like four accounts there. Apparently they changed their whole deal over there so I don't even know how it works :(
These ones were my favorite! I think they were called aishas... maybe?
I also drew another alien! This one has a poem to go with him.
Little demons go to school
They have to learn the demon rules.
They sneak, and slink, and creep about
They're scary things, without a doubt!
Cheers!
