Clothing
-Silk long-underwear (medium tops and bottoms): it’s cold outside and all my long-underwear went missing in the mail when I moved back from Japan. Save me!
-American Apparel Unisex Hoodie (extra small, black or another neutral color): I love these hoodies and I would like another one.
-American Apparel Leggings (medium, black): Another item that went missing in the move!
-Long sleeve t-shirts (medium): So practical.
-Brown jeans (US size 8 but include a gift receipt since pants are hard to fit): I saw a Korean girl at school wearing brown jeans and they looked super cute. I want to be super cute too!
-Gift certificate to Anthropologie, The Gap, Nordstrom, and American Apparel: I mailed all of my winter clothes back to Seattle and the box never arrived. I need to go shopping.
Personal Care
-Clarisonic Mia face brush: This thing gets rave reviews on YouTube.
-Makeup Forever Aqua Eyes eyeliner (black and brown): My favorite eyeliner. My black is running out and I was thinking brown might be nice and feminine.
-Bocia Black Mask: I want to try this, it looks fun and effective.
-Gift certificate to Sephora so I can find a new moisturizer: I need a new moisturizer but I’m really picky so a gift certificate would be awesome.
A few days ago I put a call out on Twitter, Google+, and Facebook for ideas of things to draw on postcards. The suggestions were eclectic to say the least. These are the first three that I’ve finished and I have four or five left to go. BTW, if you requested any of these and would like it mailed to you send me an email with your address, I promise to keep the stalking to a minimum: amcfarlane at aimeeisdrawing dot com Continue reading “Postcards”
This is kind of repost and kind of not. This is the final image and it was scanned with halfway decent color. A musician friend of mine wrote a song called Mountain and the Moon which is about how the earth and the sky have been in love since the beginning of time (see youtube video below). It’s a very sweet song and when I was bored and wanted something to paint it seemed like a good enough idea.
It isn’t perfect but I’m happy with how the painting turned out. When I was painting I thought I got a little heavy handed with the trees and hill, but now I think it works. I’ve been doing so much with comics recently that it’s weird to have a single image that has to stand up on it’s own.
All of a sudden I’m surrounded by piles of drawings that I actually want to keep. This is new. I hope I can keep it up long enough to have the piles be so high that they collapse on me and I’ll be trapped and starve to death and my cats will eat me. I’m trying to make a point of scanning everything since no one wants to sift through dead body papers.
Here’s two pages of a Space Madness comic I started in June. I didn’t get much past these two pages because I ran out of paper, then when I got more I was kind of over it. These pages are pretty raw and I’m on the fence about adding some color or grays or something.
Perhaps you’ve been wondering what the deal with all the password protected posts is.
In May I decided to do a test run of diary style comics as a June project. I strove to be brutally honest and recapture the spirit of being sixteen and venting on Livejournal (those were the days). In June I was still employed at a small school and quite close to many of the students and I really think there should be a certain kind of separation between teachers and students. Maybe I’ll write about this more when I reflect on my career as an educator coming to a close. Anyway, I thought if the comics were too public that students (and other people) could be TOO informed about my life. Now that there’s some separation between the events of the comic and now, I feel more comfortable releasing the comic publicly. So if you’re interested check out Love, Life, and Earthquakes. I still don’t know if I should use the Oxford comma or not.
The Batgirl image at the top of this post is actually a preview since LLE hasn’t made it into July yet.
