What I really really really want.
I don’t know. Some of my current favorite quotes remind me of those questions, the questions I don’t have answers to. Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s…

Progress
This week I knocked out 6 illustrations + some touch ups on the few people shots I made in the fall. Only 5 left to go, which means after taking today off I should be done painting by the middle of next week. I’m going to make the iBook Author version first, since I’ve been…

Senses
read: bits of scripts in progress, and blogs I frequent taste: water. Should be tea… see: lavender sky, and periwinkle snow. The sun is setting. hear: wind, soft murmur of my laptop’s fan, husband typing (and humming) in the other room smell: paint and soap – from washing the paint of my hands and palette touch: dry skin. I may…

Book Month!
I intend to probably be posting less on here this month because I’ll be working on my book – but I came up with a plan that’s kinda brilliant. I’m transferring all my draft illustrations to watercolor paper first, and getting them *all* outlined before I start painting, so I won’t face another hangup like…

That one question
Do you feel any different now? I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel a little different. Because for the first time in a while, I do. It’s a weird sense of accomplishment, being 21. Maybe it’s because I’m giving myself permission to step completely out of my box and just live as myself, as…

21 in 2012 {list}
Turns out, I’m really happy that I started thinking about this list ahead of time. Because 21 things (of ranging feasibility) can actually be a little harder than you’d imagine to come up with. But most of these things are actually really doable, which is what I was going for. Now I’m going to take…

Living Memoir 6 {final}
The end of the series. I could have drawn it out longer, but next month is kind of swamped and ending it here just felt right (and less repetitive). This scene is also made entirely in Fireworks CS5 – which decided to be really crashy today and took me a lot longer than it should…

Finally.
I have this weird ingrained thing where I have to clean or organize something on Friday. Sometimes it changes to Thursday, but it’s almost constantly Friday and it’s like a subconscious drive. I try to change it but it doesn’t work very well. Today, I worked on my wardrobe. I’ve been wanting to for a…

[in]significance
I struggle (and I always have) with feeling insignificant. With my self-worth and self-value. Anything that has to do with thinking I’m a remotely okay person who has a value slightly above that of a cockroach I’ve battled with. Extensively. I blame myself for everything and anything. If it’s raining and I didn’t bring an…

21 things in 2012
I want to do 21 epic things in 2012 – I’m kind of hoping to make 21 a re-introduction to myself. Sort of like a re-do, but I suppose a better way to phrase this would be to reinvent myself. I’m not (and at this point, honestly, I think most people are aware) the same…
