Work In Progress - Bob the Skull

THIS. Is Hill Billy Bob, the artistic skull.
( you can't see it in the picture but he's missing like 2 - 3 teeth. :)


Just started this, this picture is from earlier today :) Its for a 3 picture sequence in drawing. Yeah it's creepy, I can hardly stand being around the skull in the first place. But I'm willing to grin and bare it for the sake of art. The picture is to be like music giving people life and granting imagination! I can't wait to start, first off however, I need to perfect the idea. 
Wish me luck.

With Heart and skull,

Those Car Rides you'll Never Forget.

     This past weekend my mom and I went to a baby shower. I hate arriving at destinations. Not just this one because it was a baby shower, no I was glad to come. But it's the ride there that really gets me going because of the music you can have in the car. I control the music on every trip, if you don't like it then i'm sorry, but it's my (family's) car / I'm driving / you like my music so you don't worry about it. However, I do play my music quite loud, but hey what's music if its just in the background, I need to feel my music.  It helps focus so I don't drive in the ditch and what not. This was a 2 1/2 hour drive, so my mom and I split up the driving times so I wouldn't die of tunnel vision.

        Not only was the music, relaxation and just overall enjoyment of the trip making me happy, it was also getting up early to drive. Getting up in general is a whole nother story, but if it's to just go out and drive, who wouldn't love that?

     Also in our school program we got to go to the ethanol plant, and that last picture is NOT pollution, I found out that it's just steam and the ethanol plant is actually a great place for career opportunities for the right person.

     For right now what's on my mind though is this movie we saw at my friend's church. It's called To Save a Life. It was really an amazing movie. I've heard about it from some of my other friends but never saw it until today. It really made me think. Especially since i'm doing this drawing that i'm starting to work on with a skull using music to come to life. Ironically the headphones i'm putting on the skull are skullcandy brand. :) thought that was pretty funny after I got started.


With Heart and joyus car rides,

So, Snow. Its EVERYWHERE.

Nothing gets as good as 2 snow days in a row <3 haha
On my days off I had to babysit my cousins, and we got the crazy idea to go outside in the blizzard! It only lasted a few minutes, but it was fun! Enjoy the pictures! I'll try to write stories to go along with them later!

Haah me hiding in the tree place!


They were pulling me down the hill! I'm not sure why they didn't let gravity do it for them but whatever haha!

Pulling me up the hill!

I just find these pictures adorable :)

The wild man hiding behind trees scaring his enemies with the secret gun flag.

Running with the flag!

One lonely flag in the wind signaling the hole to a secret tree tunnel.
 
TREEEEEE close up
Running with the flag.

My favorite picture from that day!

The tree suddenly became a stairway.. if you look from the branch he's on it really does look like it could be a stairway.
