Alphabet Blocks

Last week, I received an email from a gentleman in Canada who had stumbled across a drawing of alphabet blocks I drew up for a friend last year and requested I draw one up for him and of course pay me for my work. How awesome is that? I think that it's so cool that he found me and asked for me to a piece for him. It's a huge and humbling compliment.

He wanted old fashioned wooden blocks with his daughters initials. He wanted to incorporate her hand and her birthday in it somehow. So I sketched up these two ideas that popped in my head. I didnt finish inking it all the way.

He ended up going with another artist but he still paid me, which was cool. I enjoyed drawing it up for him, and I'm just happy that he is getting something that he loves.

I wanted to share it with yall because when I share my artwork it motivates me to keep going and push myself to work on my drawing and sketching and shading.

Here are a few other sketches I had in a sketch book that I never posted. I did post on my Instagram.

My signature legs I love drawing with shears and strands of hair

Script with "Beauty Is Not An Option"

I picked up the latest Rebel Ink magazine yesterday at Barnes and Nobles and got alot of inspiration from that. Do you read tat magazines? If you do, which one is your favorite? Mine are Bound By Ink and Rebel Mag! Love them! One day, I hope to be in a magazine, that would be awesome.

Tattoos and Ink,

Script Lettering

Since I have decided that regular college is just NOT for me, I stopped attending to classes and now just concentrating on my cosmetology license and my ART. I decided to just STOP procrastinating and just draw to get back into it, so my good friend Nick wanted me to draw up these lyrics for him in script lettering.

Script Tattoo Lettering "We Can Pretend We Don't Envy The Dead"

Nick absolutely loved it and is planning to get it tattooed on his side. I wish I knew how to tattoo already but just dont have the time or money to do an apprenticeship.

Picture of me with my sketchbook....lol I was up until 130 am finishing this up. lol


I found a picture of some lettering I did in middle school, lol I thought it was funny to think that I even drew lettering when I was younger.

Here is Nick and I at a fashion show back in April.

He is actually working on this fashion show that we will be showing this next saturday. The Theme is "Cities of Night" and we will be featuring fashion and hair of London, Tokyo, Milan and I forgot the other one. LOL I am not going to be a model this fashion show, but I am going to be a makeup artist concentrating on the LONDON look. I love London, although I have never been there. I wanted to move there to attend Fashion school and explore the culture when I was younger.

I will be posting more on that later! Since I completed Nick's drawing, everyone is now wanting me to draw up their tattoos for them, so I have alot of requests that I need to get going on.

I am off to get ready for the day and run around and run some errands.

Quote of the Day:

Becoming the person that you want to be is a lifelong journey. Everyday we should learn something new about life, and about ourselves. Some people choose to value who they are by the pursuit and acquisition of material things, instead of trying to gain and pass qualities to others that will last for generations to come. Being everything that you can be involves the pursuit of becoming better than you were the day before.

Make a pledge to seek wisdom, to be helpful, respectful, and reliable to those around you, not only for good karma, but to also be a great example of what a person should be to those around you. Be a person of compassion, of motivation, and determination. Set goals for yourself and accomplish them. Go for your dreams, and inspire others to go for their dreams as well. Be, because you can be everything, and anything that you set your mind too. Most importantly, be yourself!

Sweet Surrender Art. Beauty. Fashion.
