Boobies for the win! (no, really)

Failed to make it to the hay maze last weekend due to lingering illness, very sad. This did, however, allow me to attend a friend's house warming party, very fun. I however accidentally started drinking and wound up puking drunk before the morning arrived, very sad. Hangover lingered through all of Sunday, barely leaving me capable of bowling, very woozy.

I am so ready for vacation. Flying to Wisconsin this Tue with Adam- am dragging him to an extended-family Thanksgiving. Will be passing through Chicago as well... must fight temptation to spend all extra time at natural history museum. I hear it's 7 degrees in Kiel. I am in fear.

Dr. Sketchy's!! Dr. Sketchy's!! Am loving the new location which is only a couple of block's from Adam's apartment. Miss the atmosphere and crowd of the old place though- definitely a different everything at this location. I miss Marc's insane tallent and the rich interior of Betty's studio. The music was better there too- we got stuck with a batch of Prince followed by Depeche Mode followed by Prince. It was.... something.

I claimed not to have sketched since the last session which, upon later thought, wasn't true- there was the stage show and the two convention evenings... but aside from that nothing. There was a contents to draw the model as an alien. I am overly-proud to say I won. I can't remember ever winning any kind of art contest, even a joke one (damn you CS department for banning my t-shirt design from the contest! I'll never forgive you!!) I think, however, I got the (very nearly tie) win due more to concept then talent- no one else went for the (what I thought was obvious) multi-breasted creature. Huh. As we were sketching, she confessed to being a fan of Predator and I squealed with glee- almost scrapped my picture to draw her in fish-netted, mask wearing glory. Picture to the right is the set from her sexy maid outfit, which I liked. Black is fun to draw when you have brush pens and markers! Some point I'll upgrade from dark grey to *real* black. Some day. When I'm older.


The upper left is obviously the entry for the contest. The note on the side says "Fuck you, the "Dax" spots are HOT". In the pictures to the left, the middle image has the note "sad hooker look" scribbled down, with an arrow.

She was very interesting to sketch. A cute, young looking face which started off very playful and fun but turned sorrowful during the longer poses. In the end I started getting the vibe of a tired, worn-out, disinterested hooker. It amused me. Her chest was hard to draw though because she had such a large space between her shoulders, neck, and breasts. Not saggy boobs! Just... space, that I never managed to capture right. Sad.
Also, heart-shaped pasties? Not cool.


My bottle-cap pin-cushion army numbers now 12, lining my cube wall. Will need to get a picture at some point. Received from Ravelery this neat pencil-sharpener robot thing that was covered with a crocheted owl/alien monster with a cape. It was.... strange. Fun, but very insane.

Speaking of insane (last topic, I swear). OMG!! b_zedan is INSANE!! I received her half of our monster swap and it's... freaky. Adam flipped out when he thought it included a real tooth (she *claims* it's just a authentic doctor-made fake...) It's got clay, and metal, and a lasso, and a feather, and a magnifier and... it's amazing. Luckily she does photography, so you can see a picture of it HERE. (I have a strange personal taboo against photographing my outgoing gift creations, but lucky she snapped & posted a picture of what I sent her as well here).
