Happy Easter!

Look, a terribly misshapen rabbit cookie, to celebrate the holiday! I'm going to spam you with photos and drawings, but first I have a few things to tell you guys. First, I love the internet, for making money and shopping. [Thanks to redgage.com, I now own 2 new pairs of socks. Thanks to Cafepress and selling my stuff, I'm getting a journal with my own design on it.] Secondly, I have never wanted to etsy more than I do today. I received a lot of encouragement and cheering from some of my family today, after one took a look at my sketchbook. I really love them, and would even if they didn't say anything. Third, I go back to school tomorrow, which I cannot wait for, and yet also am dreading. Fourth, I would appreciate it if you would like my facebook page and suggest it to your friends. Fifth, I'm considering a give-away of sorts. Would you rather receive a little drawing, or a notebook/sketchbook with a drawing on it? Sixth, I think I may have some ideas for quite a few little 'series' of a few drawing/paintings. I'm not sure yet, and still need to take reference photographs. Penultimately, I have been stressing way to much about the future/college/finishing school, so you may see a stressed-out sort of drawing. Finally, I received Twizzlers, Chalk, Bubbles and candy. If you get some sugar-fuelled post in the next few weeks, I'm apologizing now. 

Now, photos, drawings and links:

I Can't Stop This Feeling Any More

A kid in my lit class got that stuck in my head. 2 Parts: Words & Art.
Part one: Words.
It's been a while, due to school, being sick, and writing a journal taking longer than intended. I lost an Uncle last weekend, he was quite magnificent. He was funny, and his jokes weren't at the expense of others.  He was in the navy, and was a fantastic photographer. Part of me wishes I named my new camera Ralph, instead of Horatio.
Oh, did I say new camera? New, like, I dunnno, A Nikon D3100? Yes, yes I did.
So, I'm going to spam you with a few weeks worth of deviantart, tumblr and redgage posts, and then I'm off to honour my uncle. Then, I have a band trip this weekend, and a tromp through a park on Sunday. If all goes well, more photos shall insue.

Part two: Art

That Feeling, Deep Down In Your Gut

Normally, I spend very little time on my doodles, scribbling and lining in a rough manner. But for some reason, my most recent has turned into a bit more than that.
It's coloured pencil, and helix fineliner to line it. I don't know it just sort of, speaks to me. (Which I suppose it should...?)
If I were to get a good scan of it, would you say this is print worthy, via etsy?

"Gut"

Basically, it is like the feeling in the pit of your stomach. It leaves your skin crawling, your throat closing up and knocks the breath out of you. 

There are other things you could say it means, some of them I gravitate toward more than others.

Yeah.

Beware the Ides Of March

I'm going to tell you a bit about the last couple weeks, but first, Happy Birthday to STEPHEN!!!!!!!
Now, I learned quite a few things. I'm more stressed about college and the future than I thought I was (which is something I didn't think was possible.) I learned that tissues are even more entertaining than I thought ( when it comes to taking photographs.) Plus, I learned not to tell someone a false name the first time you meet them (because even though you're joking and just wanted to see if you could keep a straight face, you've screwed yourself. You're going to find him adorable, and that you have more in common than you realized, and then you're going to worry that all he cares about is that you told him your name was Elizabeth.) I'm enjoying self-improvement, making little doodles of things my lit teacher says, and my love of twizzlers is being rekindled. Also, I'm really enjoying running.
And now, some things I've posted since the last time I updated you guys. (ALSO, I've a Facebook page! I'd love you if you liked it and recommended it to your friends)

PS:

Mary Poppins was Wrong.

A spoonfull of sugar doesn't make the medicine go down. It just makes it hurt more the second time.

I understand you're all worried, because I'm ill. Some think I've mono on the way, others strep and others think I've caught my father's pneumonia (we don't share, so it's not that.) , so all in all, I feel terrible. I've done some doodling, including sketches of our cats, plus doodling in school. I've very little to post today, but hey, at least I don't have any terribly infectious disease!

Oh, If anyone has a deviantart account, and would donate a few points to my account, CreepLikesToDraw I would love you forever. I'm 55 away from a 3 month premium.

So, now you get to see the few things I've uploaded. Let's fake being excited. (click to see on deviantart)

Woo I feel great terrible,
Sarah

This is Dumpy

So, as promised, more drawings/sketches to post. Mostly doodles, but hey, it's better than nothing, right? Anyway, I'm less sick, almost over it, so I can bake soon. Thankfully I'm not to behind in school, so I can make everything up pretty quick (I'm halfway there as it is.). Oh, and I've decided I'm going to start really writing more again. I never realized what went through my head,until it started to clog up.
Oh, and I'm still stressing, have planned my post for the 16th, and am ready to get started on it, this weekend. I had something else to lament over, but I've forgotten it... Oh well. Doodles, ect below.

With love,

Sarah

Meet Salazar and What I've Been Working On

Soooo, My Sketchbook, Lotus is, sadly, full. But, it is also a joyous occasion. A few days ago, I began working in Salazar. He's this kick ass semi-hard covered book, with slightly green tinted papers, and a Slytherin Crest on the cover. I love him.

So, he is the best sketchbook ever. Sharpie doesn't bleed through his pages, and he takes acrylic paint rather well. I love him, so much. I know, I'm odd talking about an object in such a way. But, remember that I'm easily amused. (Looking at the photo reminds me of a movie I watched the other day. Why did they have to kill all the snakes on the plane?!? They have feelings too.) I'll post a few of the things I've done in him thus far. I'll get more of the sketches up later.

(Click the Thumbnails for Larger View & Details)

Soooooooo, in other news, I start school tomorrow, and am incredibly excited! PLUS, today while at the home improvement store, I picked up an adjustable window screen, so I've two pieces of mesh on frames. They are large enough, so if I'm lucky I can make large sheets of paper. I've always wanted to recycle paper. If all goes well, I'll be making my own sketchbooks in no time. Plus, I could share with my friends :) Also, I've a roll of film to pick up from the store, and another roll and a disposable camera to pick up. So, I'm quite the happy camper right now.

Yay for the beginning of the school year!

With love,
Sarah

Oh look, tis a Sketch Dump

As promised, Here is a dump of sketches, as well as a drawing and random page that's music inspired. Click each for the large image.

The sketchbook pages are drawn on with various pens and markers, along with a little bit of coloured pencil, prismacolour to be exact. You see faces, "Repo the Genetic Opera" 'Fan Art,' hands, different parts of the face, random spazzy words and.... I've a thing for drawing tongues. More specifically licking things. Don't ask.

With Love,

Sarah
