Pre-Shark Week Weekend Highlights

     On this, the first full day of shark week (one of my favorite weeks of the year), let's just have a chill chat about the weekend. Here's the top 3 highlights of my weekend. 

1. I made this beautiful pizza. I rolled out and pre-baked the crust in the oven to give it some structure, then loaded up the toppings and handed it off to be grilled on the Big Green Egg. It got a little too dark on the bottom, but still. Look at this beauty. What a mess of delicious ingredients.

2. I sat glued to the tv whilst waiting to learn who the 12th Doctor of Doctor Who would be. I just typed and then deleted a whole paragraph of my thoughts on the pick, because I realized the last thing the internet needs is another nerd raving about Doctor Who.

3. I got a shark week themed manicure, courtesy of Amanda. I seriously love shark week. Sharks are my spirit animal, for I too like to roam about, terrifying beach-goers (I'm wicked pale, man) and eating anything I come across. It's a good life.

Two Minute Madness!

     I thought of the idea for this post as I was staring at my tablet, thinking, "I'd like to draw something for the blog, I feel like I haven't done any fun little drawings in forever." I couldn't think of anything in particular to draw though, and I didn't want to end up spending hours and hours perfecting a paneled comic into the wee hours of the morn (which ALWAYS ends up happening. It's the one random corner of life in which I am a perfectionist). So here's the basic idea of how to play this little game of mine:

1. Think of a category.

2. Draw three things in that category, BUT....

3. Spend NO MORE than two minutes on each drawing. 


    It ended up being pretty fun! This time the category I came up with was "good advice." 

 

                                                                                                                                                         

                                                                                                                                                           

Happy Holidays!

Hope you're all enjoying the holidays! In celebration of the season, here's a drawing I made of what  I'd like to be doing: playing in the snow, building a snow Tardis and snow Doctor. Alas, we don't get nearly enough snow here to make my icy dreams come true.

Regular posting will be back soon!

"Is that Doctor Who? ...Is THAT Doctor Who?"

Someone really needs to hire me. I have way too much free time on my hands. It's getting dangerous. I did this Doctor Who manicure today just to test out some freehand nail art techniques. I've dabbled in stamping and various taping techniques, but never much in freehand nail art, so this is my first real attempt at it. And I'd say, considering that, it's not bad.

From thumb to pinky: Bad Wolf graffiti, galaxy, Dalek, Tardis, Bow Ties are Cool!

If you don't watch Doctor Who, you may have to do some quick googling of reference pictures to see what I was shooting for. So yeah! That's what I do in my free time, in case you were wondering. My life is exciting.

*Post title dedicated to Amanda, because every time she sees me watching Doctor Who she points at everyone on screen and says "Is that Doctor Who? What about that guy? Is THAT Doctor Who?"
