Anyone know how to flip images…?
Promised this picture to a friend months ago – finally got around to drawing it. She owned a very wise old Standard Poodle that sadly passed this last year – he was good and kind and black, actually. But I ignored that and drew this guy, who’s more like Bebe, my grandparents’ old poodle from my childhood. Hope that’s fine with my friend.

As is appropriate for July, school is finally over. I had a long, strenuous trek through “Campaign Planning” a class that is meant to be the culmination of everything I’ve learned in college. Instead, we got to experience the growing horror of a professor that realizes that we know close to nothing useful. But shhhh let’s never speak of it again. It’s gone.

As evidence for the fact that God totally digs me, while I had class all through June, the weather made sure that NO ONE COULD HAVE FUN. It rained all month. It was record-breaking. Everything sucked. I had to wear a jacket in the summer, couldn’t ride my new bike anywhere, and my shoes were constantly soggy. Customers came into Starbucks and threatened to end their lives. It was rough times.

But I went swimming once, by GOD, and it was amazing. For emphasis, this is where it was:

So, EFF YOU RAIN. I won this battle…we’ll see who wins the war. Fingers crossed for 30 more days of sun.

This is where I’ve been. Summer school is the absolute WORST.

Jeez oh man. School is so close to being over. Wow. Here’s the last thing I’ll probably post from a school project – I did not do well on this one, but look at the cute lil guy I made for it anyway. Aw.

These hardly count as drawings, because I just traced stuff with a Wacom tablet HOWEVER I’m putting them up here because I still had to Photoshop the heck out of these and I taught myself and I’m proud. They were part of a an advertising campaign we had to plan for the Smithsonian, so think National Zoo and Air & Space Museum.

I cropped out the copy though, because I’m not trying to embarrass myself.

For class, I had to create a guerilla marketing campaign for McDonald’s. Obviously, what I came up with was this creepy as hell stencil featuring our dear, terrifying friend, Ronald.

The secondary half of the campaign was simply stickers, but for obvious reasons, these became my favorite parts. Awwwww.

In related news, if you see a dollar bill with that burger on it, you’re welcome.

Another Wednesday, another slew of presentations tonight! For this one, I had to play with Play-doh and think about video games. It was arduous, but I managed.

3 hours into my 4 hour, only-presentation class, I start to get a little restless.

This self-portrait was drawn in a more confident time, when I managed to survive an epidemic of the flu. I was forced to live in close quarters with the plague for a weekend, and let me tell you, this drawing is not an exaggeration of the lengths I went to stay alive.

But I let my guard down in March, thinking I was safe, and caught a nasty cold that reminded me that it wasn’t spring yet. To give you an indication of my weekend, I chapstick-ed my nose.
