The moment a little boy is concerned with which is a jay and which is a sparrow, he can no longer see the birds or hear them sing.”

― Eric Berne

"Hummingbird darts lightly through the world, spreading its message of joy and beauty, and teaching us to appreciate the wonder and magic of everyday existence. Hummingbird brings the gift of joy. Learn to laugh and be happy." ~Unknown author

 

Yesterday's art that for some reason I just couldn't get finished yesterday. I blame feet. I drew them over like, 55 million times. Screaming the whole time that this is supposed to be a "fast" sketch.

 

A continuation of the day before. Because John + string can't = anything other than bad.

You know when you put clothes on a cat and they turn into a limp pile of rags, fall over and can't move from the absolute horror of wearing clothes? That's John right now.

 

I think if you nudge him he'd just collapse. BUT HE'S SO FLUFFY!!

LAST ONE I swear I'll get him into normal clothes again!

 

maybe

 

I could not stop messing with this - it took more work than it should have.

Unless you are a huge old movie fan, you probably know Joan Crawford as "Mommie Dearest" a wire-hanger wielding monster of a mother with giant shoulderpads. Well, for a few minutes, try to erase that image from your mind entirely because I'd like you to meet somebody.

 

This is Lucielle LeSueur. In the 1920's when Lucielle went to Hollywood, MGM studios held a nationwide contest to find a new name for their new star. The name "Joan Crawford" was chosen. (she always thought it sounded like "crawfish") The name Joan Crawford seems to fit that image we are familiar with today- it imbues control freak and rigidity. But from the moment she was rechristened until the early 1940's, Joan Crawford was really Lucielle LeSueur. She was softer, beautiful and feminine. In her movies, she conveys the quinetessential flapper/working girl, often getting the short end of the stick and working her way to happiness. She was energetic, and believable as a spunky human being.

 

Most of the available DVDs starring Joan Crawford represent her "tough broad" films like Mildred Pierce or her later horror movies like Strait Jacket. But two of her really, really good old movies are on DVD- Rain and Sadie McKee. Rain is the story of a prostitute who is taunted by a religious zealot who wants to save her, and Sadie McKee is one of the working-girl makes good stories (the song "All I do is dream of you" is repeated numerous times in this film, and I guarantee you'll be humming it in your head for weeks... and that's a good thing!) I highly recommend renting both of these films. But before you put them in the DVD player, try to clear your mind of the iconic Crawford and open your heart to Lucille LeSueur. I'm sure you'll be impressed by her talent and beauty--- and you will probably agree with me-- that whoever told Joan Crawford "You'd look absolutely divine if you just wore football player shoulder pads, drew in huge dark eyebrows and made your lips look like a rectangle!" should have been fired on the spot.

 

Blogged.

I would name this "Coffee Break" but I like just putting dates on things now.

 

This almost didn't get done. I just don't have time!

If that's not a costume, what the hell are you doing, John??

 

(and why cut two eyeholes omg)

 

Insanely fast doodle since I haven't had the chance to draw in a 100 years or so.

Happy Halloween!

I guess it lacks the plate (=

 

Watercolour studying sketch

когда лень придумывать сюжет, просто бери его из популярного курса скетчинга ☕️🎨

Часы на башне Киевского вокзала остаются механическими, раз в три дня их вручную заводит часовщик, поднимая огромную гирю. А охраняют их четыре бронзовых орла.

Sometimes I feel the need to explain him more, but I'm not sure anyone would care lol

 

I should practice writing, so far I have no big events or plans for November so I might actually get to Nano, which would mean possibly writing about John. So practicing would be a good idea.....
