Yep.. My core 'urts

Let's just say it was a good workout last night & now its not so much fun to laugh, or move my legs.. AWESOME..
its a good pain

Dress-ups

We have to dress pants & collared shirts today but to add insult to injury.. SHOES AS WELL!
What has happened to the world?!

I am a designer for gawd's sake,
not a professional!

Beach Hop 09

This my favourite photo of my mummy & daddy - they both look so happy, it makes me happy
It was an epic weekend & totally worth it.. It was so much cooler when you have a car to cruise around in.. Dad was so cute & excited!

Friday

This is the 2nd style sheet.. it has been sent & now we wait....
Its 9:20am & it actually feels like lunchtime, that may have something to do with the fact that I crawled into bed at 11pm and got up 3hrs later to start drawing these..

I have many cool things this morning while I was procrastinating

One of these very cool things was 1000 songs you must hear before you die. It has been put into 7 parts

Part One: Love
Part Two: Heartbreak
Part Three: People & Places
Part Four: Sex
Part Five: Politics & Protest
Part Six: Life & Death
Part Seven: Party Songs

Fridays power song.. The Kooks - Do you wanna

Style sheet 01

This is style sheet 1 of 3 to do tonight, it is 7:18pm & they are due to send to the client at 9am tommorrow morning.. Its going to be a long night & even longer considering I could quite happily go another few beers..

Power song of the day.. Reminds me of Nat & Stu

Slightly browning apple core..

This is the story of my life I am seriously struggling with creativity to finish this image.. It doesn't help when you get shit (not literally) thrown at you when you wander in the door in the morning.. at least let me finish the first half of my coffee & let me put my bag down! Rant over..

Weldy-man for the day..

I apparently didn't get the memo that it is now winter!
There are some REALLY, REALLY EXCITING things happening.. I will share when things are finalised

Once upon a welder..

These are production drawings of the welder..
I have been a busy little kumara today!

Monday-itis & waaay to many feelings

Ok WOW! its been a wierd few days (never a good sign when the word wierd even looks wierd!).. I slept in this morning by almost 2hrs.. so instead of the normal relaxing morning coffee watching the news [& by news we all know that I mean cartoons:)] while making breakfast & lunch to bring to work it was not quite as relaxing and I am bound to have forgotten something!

This is my horoscope for the day which made me smile

CANCER: (June 22 – July 22)

How seriously are you going to take your feelings? If you find yourself holding on to a grumpy mood, go to the bathroom and have a look in the mirror. If you look really closely, you'll see a twinkle in your eye that will set you free.

There is heaps more cool stuff here and here

HAPPY FRIDAY!

Crunchy neck & shoulders

We played netball last night and we walked away our first win 27 - 18, it was even funnier because we played a team from work & certain members of their team spent the whole game trying to distract me & hurling abuse from the sidelines.. Most amusing.. I had coffee this morning with a friend & she managed to snap me out of my foggy headspace.. everything is clear again

I have spent the day raging anatomy & welding images today, non-stop drawing is just about as exhausting as going for a run. This week has been a struggle I can't wait for tomorrow afternoon

Once upon a Taniwha.. - for stu

Once upon a taniwha
Went swimming in the moana
He whispered sweetly in my taringa
Won't you come along with me
There's such a lot to see
Underneath the deep blue sea.

WOW!

What an insane weekend!
I am wrecked
Friday started innocently enough.. a little spraypainting of some costumes followed by a few quiets.. by the end of the night I had a cutie's phone number and a goodnight kiss. Saturday rolled around and it was car rally day - we started drinking around midday dressed as ghostbusters had a BBQ at mine & the cutie from Friday night got a hold of me.. & the rest they say is history.

I am actually tired enough to pull off oneliners today, I crack myself up!

We don't want to talk about it...

We don't want to talk about it...

The press scribble scribble every half-truth spoke
Then shoot it round the country like an April Fools joke
Hype the nation for a Desert Storm love affair
Wave the stars and stripes like you just don't care!

They talk it up all day, talk it up all night
Talk until their face turns blue - Red white and blue!
But when the truth escapes the night and crawls into the day
We find the picture still askew

They don't want to... talk talk talk talk talk about it
They want tiptoe, walk around it
Wave the flag and mindlessly salute
They don't want to talk about it
They want tiptoe, walk around it
Wave the flag and cowardly salute

Your puppy looks like a Paw-paw! SERIOUSLY!

I'm back

This is the view from John & Renee's deck it looks out over the water across to the airport.. It's mean you can see planes land and stuff!

So I made it back from a whirlwind Wellington mission in one piece, a very shattered one piece none-the-less. More to come when I can concentrate for more then 20 seconds

Day 3 Painting.. WRECKED!

So we finished the painting with literally half an hour to spare.. we painted solidily from 10pm friday night til 1:30pm saturday afternoon with no sleep..
WHAT A MISSION!
A huge thank you to everyone for their support.. Emma for supplying V & helping me paint and just generally keeping me awake..
