Body Art At Its Finest
Productive Weekend
We are 5 days into 2014 and I feel so productive already. I am trying to make a personal goal to draw or paint something at least once a day, even if it’s a simple little doodle. I finished up that lighthouse drawing with shading so here it is in all its glory. haha
I used my new colored pencils that my friend gave me for Christmas! These are the Prismacolor Verithin, which is a different type of colored pencil, some artists say its harder for the colors to blend, and that they are mainly used to line instead of shade. I used a few of the regular pencils and the verithins, but overall I think it came out good. I used my wax sticks as well to help blend the colors.
I gave my hair a break and took out my extensions. Then using L’Oreal Hicolor Hilights in Magenta,(you can get it from Sallys) I colored my hair. This highlight series is bleach free! I have to do one more round or coloring, just because my hair was really BLACK. But I love how it came out.
I went to work a gig at the Grand Opening of Menchies Frozen Yogurt and got a chance to paint some sweet characters. Look how stinkin cute they are!!!
After my gigs, I got a chance to finally eat at The Cook Out, which is a yummy spot to get burgers, hotdogs, bbq, and shakes….and it’s super cheap!!! I had it both yesterday and today. If they open one up in Virginia Beach, I will be in trouble.
Last week, I got a chance to check out the new library at the TCC campus here in Virginia Beach. Man, am I impressed! I usually go to the central library here or any of the public libraries to use the wifi and soak up the energy, but usually there are never any decent places to sit, no plugs to charge electronics, the lighting sucks…I mean I could go on. Or I would go to a Panera’s or a starbucks and be the cliché artist sitting on my computer with my headphones sipping on a cinnamon dulce latte. hahaha But, alas, I have found a new zenful place of production. hahaha
The outside architecture is awesome. I love any buildings that have a silver industrial look to it.
There’s a starbucks café inside, which is nice!!!! It’s two stories and has so much open study space and little nooks everywhere. There is a separate childrens, young adult, reference sections. I love it! I managed to go for a bit before they closed. The downfall is that their hours are cut short if the semester is on break instead of staying open until 9pm.
I took a panoramic photo of the top floor so you can see these huge windows. There are outlets in the floors and comfy sofas everywhere. There is a computer lab that has huge booths so that a group of people can sit comfortably together.
As you can see above, I am a nerd for organizing everything, but when you run your own freelance business, you gotta stay on top of it. hahaha I got my new planner and went ahead and decorated it using some pages from my fav Bound By Ink Magazine!
My car was acting up today, so tomorrow will be an eventful day getting it inspected. Oh the joys of vehicle maintenance. hahaha But it is the mundane things that must be done. I am off to relax with the pup and watch movies. I hope you all had a great weekend and I’ll see ya in the next post!
Same ol’ me, just a new year!
Hello my loves! Happy New Year 2014! I am so happy to say goodbye to 2013 and move onto a new year! I took a break over Christmas and now that I am refreshed and recharged, I am back! I hope everyone had a good holiday with their family and friends, I know I did. I spent most of the “Christmas Break” at my mom’s house with the kiddos and the pup! Here’s a few pics.
I made out pretty good with some slippers, an electric blanket, and a Kuerig Coffee Maker, which I am stoked about….like I need more caffeine. hahaha The kids had fun and even Jacob got a nice BIG BONE, that he demolished in like a day. hahaha
New Years Eve was spent with good friends and my black eyed peas were eaten for good luck!
I have been painting, doodling and drawing and planning other special projects. Here is a bit of progress:
Above: A tray I painted. (front and back) Still deciding what to do with it.
Above: custom tattoo design for Createmytattoo.com
Above: See that lily drawing? I drew it! It is being published for this book! How exciting is that??? The publishers found it on my deviantart and contacted me a few months back, but it is finally going to print!
Below: a doodle or zentangle is what it is being called lately. I was having pretty bad artists block and cleared my mind but just letting the pen flow. Here is what I came up with.
Above: A new school type of tattoo design. This design is open if anyone would like it.
Oh, I almost forgot, one of the tattoos I designed for a client earlier this year finally got it tattooed and she sent it to me to share! How awesome is that? I love when clients are excited and get a design they love. It is a rush!
I am at the library right now, and its getting late. I am off to go get something to eat, Thanks for stopping by and see ya soon in the next post!
