me verás en sueños, me oirás reír…

Been drawing to an extraneous extent after finding some public domain gems dating from 1890 – 1920. I miss portraiture. Current project in progress:

Messed up her boobs when I tried to enlarge them. Lesson learned.

The original photograph shows a proud woman, great posture and stance with hands firmly on hips and long, fringed scarves draping over her shoulders and around her legs. While I like that original vibe, thinking of giving this girl some clothes and scenery. She could be on the moon, or on stage with a guitar, or in an old bar, or a football field, oooor the jungle, possibly egypt, next to one of those pyramids where all the tourists pretend they’re really tall in pictures. Hm.

Also, Selma Hayek has a very pretty singing voice.

I had a dream, no, a nightmare, about buying eggs and milk and then having no place to put them in my fridge. Not entirely sure what that means, but I’ve had lots of nightmares lately, and not nearly enough sleep. You know the dreams you get while you’re sick? All distorted, weirdly colored, and jumbly with the what and the huh? Yeah, well, those have been my dreams. My baddy bad bad dreams.

But, in spite of said dreams and the lack of really good sleep, I chant over and over that t’morrow t’will be t’werrific.

Maybe the eggs and the milk will fit…

Once upon a while ago, Catherine sketched a portrait of her niece… and it didn’t turn out half bad all things considered.  I was able to capture her personality a bit, but she’s way prettier than this.  Oye.  I’m in desperate need of some major practice because the lack of drawing lately is showing through in a major way.

Something else that’s new here: Category – Obsessions -> Not really obsessions, just a new plugin to play with.  Basically feeding my Hype Machine listening history and what they call “obsessions” (most listened-to tracks) into that category with quotes from the original source.

I need new musics, there’s just never enough =(
