what i did at work today

so i started substitute teaching recently. i was kind of nervous at first - i'm not really the most experienced (or successful) at controlling little kids. if they all suddenly decide to pull together and mutiny against the sub, what can you really do? hopefully they will never realize there are more of them than me..... anyway today i subbed for an art class, which sounds exciting and all but was actually quite boring. at least today it was :P i guess teachers often don't trust the sub to be able to teach the material, so the teacher left a bunch of busy work for people to do. i just handed out packets for them to read and watched them do homework. needless to say i got bored.
which means...dun dun dun!!! today is your lucky day! because i spent most of it drawing fun pictures. oh pen drawings of animals, how i missed you.

this is what i felt like in the morning when i first got to school:



and this is what i felt like after the elementary school class:



iiiii'm just kidding - it wasn't bad, really :P but it was good to just draw for fun again - i was worried i'd forgotten how. i hope you enjoy the rest of my artistic vomit:







this is what i would look like as an alien! you know, if i had curly hair and wore polka-dot dresses and stuff. but it has a weird neck bump just like me, so...we could be twins

the mural - part 1

i started the mural i started the mural! i had a lot of fun today getting my hands dirty using real paint again :P my clients wanted the tree painted in the corner bridging both walls, which has proven quite tricky (i think the trunk turned out surprisingly well, but the perspective on the branches....fail) anyway, there will be monkeys, a crab, small island, water... i wish i had a room this cool as a kid.

hello one and all~
so i went on a drawing spree in class one day, and this is what came of it. still working my way up to an actual painting, we'll see we'll see. the weather has been beautiful outside recently, so it's hard to stay indoors.

just drawing and stuff

hey folks, nothing really exciting to report today. i'm waiting for the client's confirmation on my super hero sketch, so i spent most of the day working on the ghost story painting. woot. can't say if it's getting better yet, but it's getting more done i suppose. anyway here is a monkey :P
