Remember three months ago how I said I’d be back with blog posts with greater frequency than n > 1 month? Ha. Then medical school applications came in and they’ve, just, taken over my life. I haven’t had the chance to draw much until a few days ago, and since this is an art blog, […]
sketchaday
when you look forward to automatic parking becoming the norm
It is 2018 and my friend Steph has complimented on my adult life productivity, as I a) finally got my full driver’s license although I should’ve done that approximately a million years ago, b) made chocolate lava cake 3 times in the span of six days, and c) made my semesterly Costco run. And I […]
’twas the week before thanksgiving, artist’s edition (pt. 1)
Ok, so the apple pie I mentioned last week? I made it. And I’m now a convert. In fact, I was so surprised at how much I like it that I texted my sister about it, and here is a direct transcript of that conversation: Me: I made pie Her: WHAT PIE Me: Apple pie […]
celsius is still better than farenheit
Hello friends, and happy Canadian Thanksgiving! (I’m there, in spirit.) It’s around 80% humidity right now, so I feel like I spoke a little too soon a few weeks ago about “cold, brisk, weather,” as my apartment floors are sticky with condensation. I also have a confession to make: I still read my temperatures in […]
inktober 2017
Got ready for Inktober! I didn’t need to stock up on inking pens because I have a gazillion of them, and Jehna sent me Copic markers for my birthday, so I’m unintentionally very prepped. Inktober started as the pet project of Jake Parker in 2009, and has exploded worldwide – it’s now officially partnered with ArtStation and […]
senior year
So, I started watching Rick and Morty, and I don’t think I’ve shut up about it this entire week to my friends about how good it is. Doesn’t seem that I’ve completely oversaturated them yet, because none of them have told me to stop talking about it. But most of them are just too nice […]
the mosquito
If my knees have been looking like fat doorknobs for the past few days, it’s because of the mosquito bite that has magically ballooned to cover half my thigh. Even when I resisted to scratch it! My right leg is now discoloured! Argh! Thankfully, I found the offender mosquito and squashed the bugger both as […]
5 facts
Fall, I AM READY FOR YOU. As soon as September arrived, cold-ish weather also tumbled in and now I can enjoy bowls of hot polenta without feeling judged. Or wear my fuzzy socks at home. I’m not sure how sustainable this cold front is, as apparently the weather will be humid and hot this Wednesday. […]
westworld is so much better than I thought it would be
Guess what? I have TWO sketchadays for you. That’s right. But if you call now, within the next twenty minutes, ’cause we can’t do this all day, we’ll give you a second set absolutely free. So that’s 8 shamwows sketches for – I really did want a shamwow after I saw that infomercial. When I was […]
what I did instead of freezing off my toes, part I
As promised, here are some sketches from Hawaii. Part II to come. If my printing looks like chicken scratch, well, you might have to squint a little. (I tried to switching to all caps but I’m not sure how much that helped.) It was the first time we travelled to Hawaii (and somewhere that wasn’t incredibly […]
it’s december!!
My favourite time of the year is here. Let me say that again: My favourite time of the year is here! So far, I’ve crossed off several things on my Holidays Food Dessert List (I promise this is not a food blog despite my extreme gravitas toward anything edible) including: making cinnamon oatmeal cookies, pumpkin custard, amaretti […]
post-chuck close
I have moved in! Not only have all boxes have been cleared, but I’ve been using actual cookware with lids instead of balancing another sauce pan on top of another one. I’m also watching a lot of movies, with copious amounts of Oreo mint ice cream and my lactose-intolerant stomach. (Worth it.) Because classes haven’t started yet, I also baked […]
rogue one is coming out soon(ish)
In less than four months, y’all. But mostly, I just wanted an excuse to draw Adam Driver’s face. I saw that he was featured on a TedTALK, and after watching him in Star Wars I was really hoping that he wouldn’t be an airhead actor, (this is also why I avoid any videos of actors talking In Real Life), so […]
