People watching..

Drinking hot chocolate outside, watching people on the sunniest and stormiest day.

This is one from last weekend.  More drawing has been put on hold for at least another two weeks, and then I'm having a holiday so there should be plenty after that! Woohoo! :)

Chickies

While on placement, we had chicks and ducks as part of the Easter theme.  There was one chick that was always falling over.  He was my favourite.  Didn't last very long though poor fella.

Happy Father's Day Daddy-o!

Even though my dad is feeling pretty ill this week, he still spent the whole day today under my brother's car and mine, fixing it in the thunder, rain and hail (I kid you not).  My dad is amazing.  Even though I'm way too old to be living at home, I feel so privileged to be able to spend this time with my parents.

The orange thing is his glasses case.  He always gets a crazily orange coloured one because he's always leaving his glasses case on top of cars and all the other colours just blend in! Here's his car fixing kit: sheet of old cardboard to lie on, pipe for leverage for EVERYTHING, old rag, shovel - always handy for something, and at least two cups of tea (not necessarily still hot), and of course, my embarrassingly girly car key keyring, which I'm pretty sure he likes really.

And the robin... well, he always seems to have a robin friend around him wherever he goes...  Happy Father's Day Daddy-o! :)

Edit: Oops, forgot to put on the gaffa tape and WD-40, must rectify in the morning...

The countdown has begun!

I can't work at all today.  Two weeks till my placement is finished! Can't wait!!!!!!

Yes, I have used 5 exclamation marks.  I am so damn excited!

Work!

I just read this in Seth Godin's blog and I'm really finding it motivating!

"If you're going to work...work hard.
That way, you'll have something to show for it.
The biggest waste is to do that thing you call work, but to interrupt it, compromise it, cheat it and still call it work.
In the same amount of time you can expend twice the effort and get far more in exchange."

Just a shame that I had to find it by reading his blog while in the middle of doing my own work...Gaaah!

WTF?

Today I saw a series of WTF? posters by Minga on Visual News which I love! Really made me think of my favourite t-shirt from when I was about 7 years old.  Dug it out today and it still fits! More like a tank top than a t-shirt now though.  

Still missing drawing. Maybe soon I'll get the time to do some... Maybe I'll draw me some sharks... Maybe I'll wear my shark t-shirt while doing it! Maybe maybe maybe...

Easter holiday...

A last picture from my holiday last week, and some pub drawing...
