'Cuz I'm Batman!

The latest shirt I've made for the upcoming Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises. I am super excited for it and am planning on attending the midnight showing with friends :) I think this one turned out better than many of my others.

As always, I used acrylic paint for a couple coats. It will fade with washing, especially if you put it in a machine washer, which you can do, just wait two days, and wash in cold water first. Either way, I prefer to hand wash in cold water.

My last step was cutting the neck to make it wider, though it does not show it in this picture. I went two inches out past the neckline on both sides and cut to the bottom of the V-neckline. I just don't like V-necks and it made this shirt fit more comfortably for me personally.

RAWR!

These are two other drawings I did while working at Camp. They're based after the same character just two different variations and age. I particularly like the "Dinosaur" one. However, I'm not happy with how the facial expression turned out. It strikes as a little kid forced into an outfit when I was trying to go for a cute, innocent, but wary face. Someone who is wanted to be accepted for who they are, and they just happen to be a dinosaur :D The second drawing is the young boy being adorable. I like to think of him being caught doing something he shouldn't be doing, such as playing with bugs in the dirt! Another possibility was that the little lady bug scared him when the bug took off running. Either way, I think of these pictures fondly. I loved drawing them and meant to capture a childish spirit. 

Lover Birds

A drawing of Owls I did while working out at Camp. I did it in a downtime while the kids were hearing stories about the Olympians. 

Belated Mother's Day!

Here is a "card" which I made my mom for Mother's Day. It was not belated :D just posting this was! It was a fun project to work on AND I didn't cut myself with the knife I used..... :)

 First step was finding twigs then using a knife I shaved the bark off. This can GREATLY simplified if one obtains those cute Popsicle sticks. My mom ironically threw away the ones I was saving, mistaking them for garbage! Once that was done, I cut flower shapes out of a spare foam paper. Then I duct-taped the wood to the foam flowers :D

From there, I made the "card" part of it by folding a green cardboard paper into a square. It helps if the paper is doubled up for support.  After, I tried a few things to connect the flowers to the paper. I first tried duct-taping cardboard diagonally inside the "card." That did not work....

             finally I just duct-taped the flowers to the
                     inside of the card :P

                      Problem solved haha.

I concluded by writing "Happy Mother's Day to a Fantastic Mom!" On the sides I wrote other descriptive words such as "kind" "wise" "great" "wonderful" "awesome" "ravishing" "beautiful" "sweet" etc.

Saaaahhhh-wwward

 Monday was a very slow day in school. Most of the seniors were gone for a math field trip (which I could not attend because I went last year). Due to this, we did nothing in Spanish, too keep me quiet my teacher allowed me to make a sword (or sahhhhhwwward as he calls them!) out of construction paper and extensive scotch tape.

Needless to say, I was VERY entertained.

Once I got home I was further entertained by duct taping my sword. It's not very macho considering it is rather bendy, however, I enjoy it.

ESTO ES ESPARTA!

Easter Eggs 2012

In the holiday spirit, my friends and I had a fun time participating in the custom of coloring Easter eggs! As one can probably tell, we had quite a fun time! We drew Harry Potter, a demented Voldemort, The Joker, a "homemade Dark Mark," a regular Dark Mark, a yellow egg with Charlie Brown's shirt design, Aang, Zuko, a few zombie eggs, an adorable JubJub and a multitude of randomly colored eggs. I hope everyone had a great Easter! 

Wake Up World, The Sun Has Come

I feel that Spring is finally here, in past years she has forced us to wait for her for what seemed like endless days which merged into endless months. Sometimes, we would not see our old friend until June or July. Last year, it hailed/snowed on my birthday which is in July. However, now she is here and I plan to enjoy my time with her fully. There's nothing like sitting and reading in the sunshine on my deck while listening to the birds sing.

This is a Pon and Zi drawing I did this afternoon. I apologize, I couldn't get a good picture. For those who cannot make out the words, it says, "Wake up, Love! The Sun came to see you!"

Wake up world :) Smile and take in the Sunlight before it disappears, and when it does then take in the Starlight before it disappears, as my song of the day, "All Time Low's" by Hellogoodbye, said.
