new drawings from this week, my desk is so messy, i drank too much coffee and i got all hyper and distracted so i would start doing one thing and end up doing another, i am coming down now. 

hmmph @ life, all i want to do is be lazy and eat cake and watch the real housewives of newjersey!??

   

I want to be up to some mischief!

 i really want a dog, maybe that would cure my lazyness and general listlessness these last few weeks, i have been stalking along on so many dog websites, like lost dogs home and rescue a dog and things like that but when i finally found the dog i wanted, it was gone by the time i could get to the lost dogs home, and then it turned out the little doggy had been adopted by my neighbour and is living across the road. it looked like this drawing above, a jack russel cross terrier with a bit of red heeler, so she was all speckled and cute with floppy black ears. 

i bought some red tights, but i feel so lazy

I havn't been to the studio in two weeks. Its been busy times i guess, i worked in an old peoples home last week as an arts therapist assistant, and we had a party at our house on the weekend. See the streamer remnants? Adelle, my house mate took that top photo and this is a drawing i did about her, shes moving out and i will miss her, she always wears good socks.

This week I gave myself a break from the studio, and instead I babysat Harvey,

 I made vegan pies and vegies on 1970's plates

 This is what our house is like at the moment, horrible trucks and cranes and diggers surrounding us, theres a construction site next door and it is shitty and LOUD!

 I visited Brookes studio in North Melbourne, very nice...

 Beautiful Autumnal  North Melbz

 Picked up my shoes from Angelo, he repaired them. 

Nice Break!

Sitting in bed, sipping apple cider vinegar honey and hot water.. is that weird? i think its nice and healthy?? Our lamp just broke, sad, but today was a good day, apart from the massive rain and the broken lamp. I got to have coffee and cake with Charlotte at Beatrix and green tea with Leo at Cibi And draw in the studio a little bit even though i didn't feel like i was doing a very good job at it. I think i need some new inspiration and a heater for in the studio because my hands get too cold to draw!

a quick drawing i did before escaping the studio, jumping on a train and going to town

flourless chocolate cake at Beatrix!

I am getting quite light headed over the goodness of this blog : http://atelierpourenfants.blogspot.com Its french and oh they do the best things... take photos of lots of beautiful french childrens book illustrations. Here are some, all from their blog:
