Heart Stitching

Found this amazing embroidery by incredible artist named Andrea Dezso. Her work is so cool! I'm still browsing the site, but I definitely recommend you check it out. Her website can be found here.

Doodle Often---Sombrero Man Doodle

Yep, so I'm back with the doodle thing. XD I laugh gleefully at your misery.

This guy I did a while back when I was bored on vacation. I wasn't thinking much of anything, i had a shading ink pen in my hands and just did. I was not finished for five minutes before being promptly informed by my sister that my character was, in fact, quite ugly. Not necessarily a bad drawing, just an ugly guy.

I really like him. Think he's kind of random and ironic. But then again, I have difficulty seeing people as "ugly" or "attractive". I may think somebody has too many pimples or abrasions on their face, or really like their hair, but I am rarely am able to think of people in these more general terms it seems. I don't know why.

So, Yeah. I think I might have more affection for this doodle  than it deserves, but I just thought I might as well post something. So I did. Right here. It's here and...stuff...

-_-

Yeah.

Update: ok, to be fair, my sister said on seeing this doodle most recently that it was "neat" and "a good sketch" or some approximation. I was very flattered. And sorry I turned this into another rant about me (that does seem to happen quite a bit, doesn't it? ;P). Im just glad I can look at Sombrero Man and think "hey, maybe I can draw!... Ad I have very little sense of conventional human attractiveness. -_-" both of which are quite nice things to think, actually.

So, about this guy... Well, he doesn't really have much character-wise; just a face and a vague sense of backstory and motivation, really. I'd really like to draw more of him and see if he wouldn't mine being in one of my stories, but I guess we'll have to see...

Arts. JJ. Love: Gouache Painting : Water arena: It's been ages since I last posted anything. And no, this blog is not dead. Haha! I got really busy with work, really insane deadlines to me...

Reblog...ish---Extreme Kites? Heck YES!

If you have yahoo as your home page, or perhaps were just passing by a couple of minutes before I just posted, you probably already saw this, but I thought I might as well mention it anyway since I'm a sucker for kites.

Found here, along with the original article.

Well, for some reason or another, some other person in this world thought, "Hey, wouldn't it be neat if we had kites that could loop, swoop, and do barrel rolls like an airplane or a raptor or something? Or maybe some sort of dinosaur kite or geometric kite that could be used in a kite battle..." and decided, very much unlike the Sage of Think-Everything-Do-Nothing (AKA, me), to go and build themselves some. Man, I should have designed and patented these ideas; I could have been a millionaire! ...Yeah...right. -_-

Well  I've said it before, I'll say it again (it probably won't be the last time...):


"Aw, man, they 'stole' my idea!" :(


OK, for those of you unfamiliar with how the "rrc-Universe" works, I tend to (and by tend to, I mean like, ALL THE TIME) think of all these great ideas, store them, and... do nothing with them. Maybe rant about them a bit, write about them/write them down, draw a sketch or two or two dozen, but in the end, they just end up in the little Indiana Jones/X-Files-esque boxed-up, hidden things room of my brain (and my actual room) and gather a nice cozy blanket of dust.

Then I get to see them resurface 2, 5, 10 years later as the upcoming summer blockbuster (which would certainly have been a MASTERPIECE in my hands, A MASTERPIECE I TELL YOU!).  Or as a poorly marketed but awesome book series (But if the PR had been up to ME...). Or as the latest new technology coming out (OK, is someone watching me? O.o). Or as the new "extreme kites" featured on yahoo. Yeah, now do you see why I'm paranoid? (Or does everyone just get these moments constantly? O.O)

Oh well, my dream is to someday be so ahead of the curve, no one will ever be able to think of it simultaneously. Or perhaps I will create something entirely original. And no, I don't really care if that's actually possible (thank you sir/madam "There's nothing new under the sun" for raining on my parade here -_-) I mean, what's a little reality compared to a lifelong, megalomania-fueled ambition to bend the very Fabric of Actually-Possible-Things?

Anyway, I just realized that this is less a reblog and more a rant with a link attached to it, so sorry about tricking you all and such like that. ^J^ Hopefully the crushing oppression of reality smothering my nigh delusional hopes and dreams was amusing enough to make up for it. :)

So yeah, here's where you can look at the pretty [EXTREME!!!!] kite and all...

Uh...yeah...sorry...

I'm just off and on all the time, aren't I? Truthfully, I'd prefer to be a bit more regular, but, well... You'd all have to put up with me at my most unpredictable. But I guess it beats me not posting, right? So I could just do that every once and a while, I guess... Anyhow, thank you, loyal readers, for putting up with me for so long. Let's see if I can't make it a bit more worthwhile.
