I have returned!
So I got a real live job that ate my soul for almost three months, and now I'm in the snowy mountains of Colorado, studying and being scholarly, but secretly/not so secretly continuing on with my fandoms.
I'm so ready to crank out some art.
Guess who didn't bring her art supplies to college because they wouldn't fit in the suitcase?
Guess who's not ( Read more... ) -
Not-so-productive-but-a-little-productive
My second run-in with the flu is winding down, thank God. But for the past three weeks (this is a partial exaggeration), I have done absolutely nothing that is productive. My day-to-day activities have consisted of: watching all 4 seasons of X-Men Evolution, watching 90's X-Men cartoons on the Marvel website, watching Wolverine & the X-Men, ( Read more... ) -
Merlin
How did I miss the amazingness that is Merlin?
It's almost as awesome as Criminal Minds. Almost.
Oh, how I love watching TV online.
It reminds me of Tamora Pierce novels. Which makes me want to re-read The Song of the Lioness Quartet and all of her other books. Which I am most definitely too old for. But they're great. And so is Merlin.
Anyway. ( Read more... ) -

I'm so feeling not up to snuff. I have all these stories (mostly drabbles) in my head, but I can't get them out.
I still haven't put pen to paper for art. I'm modeling for a figure drawing class tomorrow night; hopefully that will spark some creativity. Anything really. I'll miss CM, but it's worth it. I get paid to sit and look pretty. Not a ( Read more... ) -

Finally, some artwork to show off. This was done for jenna_thorn and beadslut's fic Stranger Things, which you can read here if you like: hermione.magical-worlds.us/viewstory.php

Witty Title?
Tried some sketching last night. I can't seem to get certain things right. I'm going to a figure drawing class Monday night. Maybe that will help.
Officially legal now, as of yesterday. Happy birthday to me. Got my big girl license and voter's card and a library card (just because I didn't have one.)
I feel inspired to dress in stylish grandma ( Read more... ) -
Activities
It was recommended that I find some productive hobbies to entertain me for the next few months. This is what I came up with:
Things to do:
Re-watching Criminal Minds
Learning to write with my right hand
Making art on commission and for my own personal fun (now if only I could be inspired)
Learning to play the guitar so the folks at Philmont hire me

Crimeland Challenge Community
Cue shameless promotion here:
It's no secret I love CM. So I was totes pumped when, while searching Spencer Reid related icons/etc., I found this fledgling community: community.livejournal.com/crimeland Go Team Garcia. Now I have something else relatively productive to fill my seemingly endless free time. :)

Blech
I finished my work for the HermioneBigBang Sunday night. I experimented a lot with this piece--used a lot more mediums than normal and didn't quite stick to realism this time. I'm used to producing work to fit strict guidelines. The AP board had all these parameters that they wanted students to meet with their portfolios for the exam, and that ( Read more... ) -
The non-art student's art project
So I'm going to give this a go and see how it turns out. I've got 4 months to January, plenty of down time to make art without limitations. Thus far nobody has hired me; I've spent 99.9% of my time online/sleeping/watching Criminal Minds; Matthew Gray Gubler (Spencer Reid) is my current obsession and it's becoming unhealthy; I'm starting to ( Read more... )
