Before I Forget...

I forgot to say that Dan and I are currently hunting for a house! We found a few we want to look at but after our townhouse was bought while we were waiting for the bank, we're back to hunting. Which is fun, don't get me wrong. I'm very excited to look. I guess dreaming and hoping does good things for my art 'cause I am truly happy these days.

Self-Portrait

I haven't done a self portrait in years. At least not one I took the time to get it right...I scribbled a few out while looking in a mirror but the trouble is, my expressions. I make funny faces all the time without even knowing it so without catching them on film, I cannot recreate them. So I found some old photos of myself that I love! The pose, the white dress the angle...I love them. So I've been drawing a few. Here is my favorite so far. The picture is from at least 3 years ago...maybe more, but the point is I'm having fun with all these projects I'm giving myself. Go me! Haha.

A Finished Baby Is A Happy Baby...

Hooray!!! After 4 separate tries I finally finished this little guy! Phew! He definitely looks like the photo although whether he resembles himself I have no idea having never actually seen the baby since he's been born. All the same we'll see how his mother feels about him. This will be the last baby I draw for some time though, holy cow it was kind of a rough process. Still, he's finished and I managed to do a few other drawings in the past week as well! I am on a roll! There's a lot to post so we'll see...but I do think this blog needs a little color...
