Day 17. This Is Yesterday's Monster. The Prompt Was Australian Aboriginal Mythology. This Is A Bunyip.

Day 17. This is yesterday's monster. The prompt was Australian Aboriginal mythology. This is a bunyip. I feel like refried butt today, so I am just going to link to two bunyip-related things. 

Bunyip wikipedia article

Dot and the Kangaroo, a movie I saw when I was a kid, had a bunyip song that I always really liked. Bunyip song.

The eighth one. Today’s prompt was dullahan/headless horseman. I am not feeling particularly revolutionary with this one, but I am working on my brush painting, so there you go. I think this is just the standard Headless Horseman, out to ruin the evenings of camping teenagers and hikers out after sunset.

Brown paper. Ink. That’s how we’re rolling lately. 

Day 14. The prompt today was "living object". I made a golem. I don't have too much to say at the moment.

I'll level with the world here; I'm still not doing great. My job has turned into a huge source of anxiety, and I'm at a pretty lousy and stand-still place right now. What I want to do is make art; I don't just want to draw pictures, I want to get back to having a studio and making art and showing it.

I've been in at least two shows a year every year since 2007, and this is going to be the first time since then that I've got nothing. I crashed back from living overseas and getting a master's degree to living in my parents' house and working at a dead-end minimum wage job that isn't helping me get out again.  

I'm not sure what to do, but I do know that I feel like a huge burden on my friends and family at the moment. I don't want to be here and nothing seems to be changing. I am isolated and stuck, and I'd kill for something good to happen right about now. 

Day 16. The prompt was Arabic/Islamic mythology. I decided to do an ifrit. Here we go. 

Red ink, black ink, brown paper.

Took a break from monsters to draw a mo' different monster. Really, I wanted to draw Schtein from mistahgrundy's String Theory comic and abuse the heck out of some paper with some ink, because those are two things I like.
