Me as a Teenager

There's a fantastic "meme" (I hate that word) floating around, and a bunch of illustrators have drawn themselves as teenagers. You can see the complete list of entries here- it is waaaaaay too much fun!

Here's my entry:

Many of the other contributing illustrators seemed to be geeky in the Kool-Aid dyed hair, Doc Marten & choker-wearing sense. I was geeky more in the "cried-because-I-got-a-B-in-French class" sort of way. My friend Anne will be more than happy to tell you that story. (BTW, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Anne!)

Happy Birthday, Catie!

My beautiful niece turns 3 today. I'm working on a painting for her birthday, so I did these sketches last night in preparation. The future painting will look nothing like either of these sketches-- I was going to post some sketches I did for the actual painting, but since my brother has recently become technologically savvy, I'd better save it as a surprise. Heck, Catie's probably online now, too- you know these kids these days! I bet her im name is something like "iluvcookies" or "MickeyRulz3333".
