Now children, listen to today’s Top Art Tip from Auntie Iris: Don’t try to eat, drink and colour in at the same time! You *will* knock things over and then have to draw over your design. Several times, if you do not learn from your mistakes. Which, let’s face it, you won’t.
Also, drinking and eating at the same time is physically impossible I think. Why were you even trying?!
Eep I was going to finish this now but I’d forgotten I’m going ukulele-ing tonight! You’ll get the finished version tomorrow…. I wonder if it will look better before or after? ^^
So after a somewhat frantic weekend today is my last day finishing off my colouring book! I am so excited, it’s the first thing of mine anyone outside of family/you lovely people are going to see and it’s going to the printer’s tomorrow! It’s going to be part of a little exhibition in this lovely shop right by the beach, hiding among the work of actual real artists and everything! My entire brain has turned into an exclamation mark!
I’m not sure about having the cover in black and white; I thought it would be nice to be able to colour in the cover as well (since it’s not really a very big book!), but it’s looking a bit anaemic now. Admittedly I have reached the stage where I can only see the flaws and have mentally redrawn at least three quarters of my material and don’t start about the layout of this page and-, so… But anyway, it’s just the first run, and… Book! Look! Book!
!!!
Please hold the line… your call is important to us… Please hold the line… your call is important to us…
When I am an internationally despised concept artist, I’m going to show a whole exhibition of my actualdoodles, with answerphone/call waiting messages played on a loop in the background. It will be highly intellectual and a scathing commentary on society, oh yes.
Rawr’s friend. That’s how the song went right??
Also wish me luck that my internet *stays* back now that it’s back!
It’s my superawesome mum’s birthday today!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
What’s all this worrying of giants with your bad cooking? Yikes, we thought the forest was on fire!
(Oh also – does anyone know which muppet the giant’s face reminds me of??)
Ahh it’s that time of the year again. Hope you are having a lovely lazy Sunday!
