Let’s make some mugshots

admin — Thu, 12 May 2011 05:18:54 +0000

My very good friend Ana over at Cupcake Conspiracy sent over one of their fine products. One night, Michelle and I had a case of the munchies and decided to try it out.

Here is what it looks like:

It’s quite easy to make. All that is needed is vegetable oil, milk, and an egg. Oh and a mug.

Step one: pour contents into microwave safe mug.

Step two: add egg, and mix.

Step three: add a tablespoon of veggie oil.

Step four: add milk. Forgot how much. Not a lot. Mix.

Step five: nuke the shit out of it.

If you’re pretty competent with a microwaving machine, it should come out looking as magical as this beast:

Flip it over onto a plate if you wanna get fancy. Otherwise, eating out of the mug is perfectly acceptable.

NOM NOM NOM!

drawing my dreams: the giant maze

I keep a notebook by my bed so that if I ever remember a dream, I can write it down upon waking up. This is the first one that I’ve done. I have a lot more written down so expect some new stuff soon. Sorry for the delay! I know I haven’t posted ANYTHING in like FOREVER. I promise I’ll be better.

The Sketchbook Project

admin — Sat, 18 Sep 2010 05:21:21 +0000

My sister and I are taking part in The Sketchbook Project. It’s a traveling art show for sketchbooks. I picked the theme “A Day In The Life.” So far I’ve only done three pages. They’re mostly drawings of interesting people I see. The captions breathe a little more life into them. Page 2 was a mistake though, I didn’t actually see a king and his midget self. That’s a sketch for the book I’m illustrating. I kinda made characters out of a matchbox too. I guess I’ll be making characters out of other random objects as well.

high school memories

admin — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 02:52:15 +0000

I remember once we had a teacher in high school who wore this outfit to school. It was navy blue, with sequins, black thingies, and 2 very well-placed mirrors.

This would be me in high school, trying to talk to a girl.
