an illustrated blog post

I was reading a blog that I liked and the owner talked about this book called Cherry Coke by Outa Uni. It was pretty much a visual illustrated diary and it was mostly about the author's shopping finds and other fashion related things. So I tried doing the same.

 It's hard to see what's going on, so follow the cut for close ups!

it's another hot day~

Happy July 4th. Feels like I haven't been around here much. I feel like all my recent days pretty much only consisted of going to the office and melting in my chair as there's no AC. The only thing I've learned at my job so far was the true meaning of wearing skinny jeans in hot weather.

So I celebrated my day off today, my way.

Or alternatively, a picture of what's really going on!

 The movie's called Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, if you're wondering. I like it quite a bit. Jay aka Jason Mewes sparked my usual fetish attraction to white guys with long fair hair, but that's not the whole reason why I watched it. It kinda reminded me of Half-Baked, which I watched with my sister late one night. Both are luzly.
I'll be reading Kevin Smith's stuff when there's nothing to do at work. I try to draw too, but it gets so hot in there I just usually try to stay as still as possible to keep myself to overheating any more.

I'm doing a bunch of art stuff at the same time hence the dry period.. and the little doodle up there. But I'll be updating with more genuine things soon, I promise!

Update time~ (slightly NSFW)

I have a few things to talk about but as art being a priority, I'll announce that I have finally finished my only painting I was working on since my summer break started.

I present to you, "Crimson."

Better than nothing, but I'm slightly upset at how darn slow I am. I currently have two other sketches done for (hopefully) future paintings. Unfortunately whether or not I'll get to finish them is another story.
I'm slightly nervous all my sketches for future paintings are starting to look the same, especially in the composition department. I was never good at dynamic angles but eh... =/

On a art-related note, a couple weeks ago I visited ye ol' Met Museum for Punk: From Chaos to Couture. I have some sketches but they're not that great compared to my McQueen's Savage Beauty ones from 2011. Of course I'll post them, along with a mini report.

And for not so art-related things: I like my current internship so far. I'm not being paid a much, but then again it's near impossible to find an internship that pays like a regular job. The perks: I have my own mini cubicle, I get to eat, I get to use the bathroom, I'm allowed to dress nice. Best of all, I don't deal with whiny kids. My computer has a functioning headphones jack, and my cubicle is by the window so I stay cool even though the AC is broken.

Want to know what I got from my first paying week?

I'm pumped to see them again! I was so certain I wouldn't see any concert before I started class but it was such a lovely surprise when I came across their Facebook announcement for their first headlining US tour. Can't wait~♪ Who knows, I might even join their contest to have dinner with the Wintersun guys...

So...If I was asked if I rather be doing this internship in the city or be working at the other place close to home, I pick the internship. My lady boss seems to like me so if I put this internship down on my resume, I'm hoping she'll agree to be my reference. So yes, I'll werk it.
