Practice & Daily Life Stories

It's been a long week as usual. Job searching out side and online is really daunting but I find time to keep practicing drawing. Mostly as a stress relief I guess. A lot of my former class mates are kinda in the same boat. Not qualified for studio jobs necessarily and COMPLETELY over qualified for dumb retail. haha expect some drawings on that maybe. Things like 2 years minimum experience in retail jobs and requesting photos for food runners? (Seriously creepy) Then getting asked why I have a huge work experience gap at interviews. Oh yea sorry about that. I went to college for 4 years,you know...to get a good job. I just want to say that I hope my bitterness is funny cause I'm not really that mad. It's freeing me up to make more art and comment of the crappy work environment. I HAVE THE HOPE!! Now to the art!

Went on an interview for a vegetarian burger place and seen this dude with a tail. It was sprinkling and I was bored waiting for the bus when he caught me! Like no one ever calls me on drawing them. They just look at me then try and avoid me,I like that. this guy tho like artists and came up to ask if I was drawing him. I got embarrassed cause SHIT,again,no one talks to me in public. Then we had a nice talk about him being a PR guy. West Hollywood by the way is a funky place I want to go back to for job searching.They didn't even fuss about my neon hair. It's now dark brown so I can widen my poo job search but hey it's a good place to start. 

This gem was drawn today while I was cleaning up comic pages. I'm always on the search for show that I can tune out/draw to and hadn't seen Ally McBeal in a long time. I didn't get it as a kid watching it cause it's all 90's/early 00's innuendos but now as an almost 30 year old I laughed! I sat on our couch for like 8 hours watching this show and cleaning up pages. Calista Flockhart was also on Brothers and Sisters,I used to watch with my gran. She is so serious in that show that I forgot how funny she could be. 

For no reason other than he loves the shit out of me and it's the only way to get me to take breaks PB got me Jet Set Radio! This game was a big part of my childhood. It's one of the reasons I love animation,the funky cell shading on the 3D models,the dance moves each character has when you let them alone for a while and of course the neon colors. I had Jet Set Radio Future but I am really getting to love JSR. It's was harder but still just as fun so I find it the perfect way to take breaks. Gets a bit tricky to know when to stop tho cause I was super obsessed with this game as a kid. 

Beat and Ryth are my OTP just because they are my favorite characters to play as. Balance and Speed!

Oh miss Gum,everyones fave tough tagger girl.
