Do You Ever Think About Toes?

do you ever think about toes?

I think about toes.  I love the bony parts of people's bodies, including hands and feet.  The knobblier the better.  This lovely pair belong to my friend Lily's boyfriend, who was kind enough to sit still so I could draw them.  I'm completely in love with how long his toes are, it's like an extra set of fingers!

Tragically, this one is mine.  Those are blisters.  If shoes are designed to be worn with socks you really should wear them with socks, as it turns out.

(Yes, I sketched my blisters.  What else am I supposed to do after 3 years of art school?)

If this were real, it would INSTANTLY reverse my decision to stop buying comics.

journal pictures and degree show madness

I finally got round to scanning some more of the pictures from my journal, so mooch on over to flickr to take a look at strange scenes from my life. In other news, my degree show is going well so far.  It all looks really good up on the walls and I think we've got a lot of good work in our class this year.  Sammy's put up some nice photos of work by the Inspired crew, which includes me, or you can find out more on the university website. It's weird to think that we're almost done after three years of work, work, work.  It seems to have gone really quickly, but at the same time 1st year feels like a lifetime ago.  I've enjoyed the course a lot and I finally feel like I wouldn't be ripping people off if I charge them for my work, which is a big milestone.  I can't quite believe how much my work has improved since we started.  (Of course then I look at other people's work from my class like Sammy,Jamie, Nathan and Rob and think 'Waargh they're all so much better than me! Panic panic flail flail' but I'm told that's normal and healthy in a creative field.) I hope some of you can make it down to the show!

If you were wondering, this is the image the header is taken from.  It's a watercolour of a character currently called 'skullgirl' (until I think of a proper name), who's sort of the mascot of my illustration at the moment.

I realised I update my personal blog even less than my art ones when I'm busy, which really defeats the whole purpose of the personal blog, since my family members start bugging me for news to make sure I haven't died and such.  The reason most people for whom it would matter less if I died looked at it was these little illustrations from my journal, so I'm putting them up on Flickr instead.  Click the picture to get to my photostream. :3
