Kittys Drawings

Hellooooooo!!

Well I’m not drawing anything that is worth showing just yet….Not drawing anything that I can reveal anyway. There is stuff in the works.

So I thought I’d show you my desk…Since we moved house I’ve got a lot more room. That is to say – I have room full stop…where I never used to. The laptop was used true to function – on my lap. Lol.
Now I have a nice big desk and so I spread out my junk. This is about as clean as it gets. I am no organisational nazi – as long as I know where everything is then I’m happy. As you can see, I’m in severe need of some book shelves of some sort. Small, desktop ones for all those books. And some drawers would be nice to stuff my million pens and pencils in. What you see here is just a fraction of the stuff I’ve got. Most of it still resides in the garage!

Okay to start with – this is the Macbook Pro and my Wacom Intuos3 tablet. A little bit of an uncomfortable setup – the keyboard is too far from the tablet which means I have to lean over to see what I’m doing. NEED A DESKTOP COMPUTER. So drooling over one of those pretty new iMacs. One day it shall be mine.
Sorry about the grainy photos too. I suck with the camera.

The general crap next to the laptop…iPhone, pencils, scanner, disused Nintendo, business cards…and if you’re wondering what the hell that big white thing is (cos everyone who sees it asks) – its the subwoofer thingy for my speaker system.

Some magazines and the pencils I dragged up from the garage today. Intend to put them to use soon. oooh and see the metal ruler stolen from my high school. Dragged that all the way from Tassie. Heh.

Some anatomy and drawing books. Yay!

My sketchbooks. A selection of what I’m using right now. I have about 5 on the go. Seriously. Picked up some more today…Notemaker were having a sale just a few blocks from our place so we bought up big. Heaps of O-Check, Rhodia and Moleskin stationary on sale. Sweeeet. I got some coloured drawing paper and that nice sketchbook on the top of the pile there. Mmmm paper.

And finally, the view from the desk…Because my photos suck I’ll explain it a bit….The study is on the mezzanine level so it looks over the lounge and kitchen. Out those windows (which reach to the ground and are the doors to the courtyard) is the street behind our place. There’s a pretty tree currently full of bright purple flowers. Nice and relaxing to look at. And yeh, our house is pretty freakin’ awesome! Love the exposed brick and the excellent lighting. The building used to be a cable tram engine house and the architects preserved the outer shell. The whole complex is amazing and won a heritage renovation award of some such. Noice.

So there you have it! My work space….still needs a few things…I want a new chair too. But I’m happy I got so much room to spread out. Yay!

Oh and that pic on my computer is what I’m working on at the moment. It wont stay black and white either.

Hope you’re having a good weekend!

Hello everyone

Today I have another quick creation for you. I thought it was about time I contributed something original to Art Jumble. It’s been a while since I posted anything there and I certainly haven’t come up with something new until now. Yoshi is definitely one of my favourite characters from the Mario crew. He’s just so cute! I love the noises he makes and it’s not uncommon to for me to start crying “bee pow” whenever the mood strikes me. Heh. So immature. LOL. I also love his little “Hnnnnnnnnnnnnn” he does when trying to jump higher than normal.

Gosh I am such a nerd.

Anyways, this barely took 20mins. I was drinking wine at the time and since my tummy is not very full and I am the world’s biggest lightweight, I am currently a little bit tipsy. Oh dear.
Also, still loving the new technique. Me thinks I will stick with it for a while.

On video games, I also have my fortnightly game review up on Cult-of-Pop. This time I’ve reviewed Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney.

This weekend has been rather quiet. I received two vintage skirts in the mail from Etsy which I LOVE. Can’t wait til spring! And also picked up my Taste of Melbourne tickets. Is anyone going?? I can’t wait!
