Still Life: Lent

Lent seems far away, then suddenly it's coming right up.

Still Life: Armando

The good ones always are... ;D

Stay frosty, my friends.

Still Life: January

Well, the weather around here has actually warmed up a GREAT deal. I feel so spoiled out here on the coast, enjoying nice moderate temperatures while the rest of the country frantically tries to clear away the Mount Everest sized piles of snow that've appeared over the night.
But anyhoo, here's a comic about how different winter is in December and January.

Stay frosty, my friends. And this time, it's actually kind of literal when I say that, ahaha!!

Still Life: HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!

Got any New Years Resolutions, friends?

Still Life: Timmy vs Jawbreakers

Yeah, this is kind of a Halloween themed comic, but we can still enjoy it even though it's the first day of December. [gasp]

 

As per usual, click to enlarge. :)

Still Life: Ride the Samovar and Drink from the Troika

This one is pretty self-explanatory. My terrific chummie was reading The Brothers Karamazov [nods head in approval], and got the Russian words Samovar (teapot) and Troika (carriage) mixed up. Hilarity ensued!

Still Life: Count Your Lucky Stars

So, you know, I was just skimming through The Brothers Karamazov (as I am wont to do), and decided that this would be fun to draw. Keep in mind, I've been sick and hopped up on medicine, so this might not be that funny, I dunno. XD

Still Life: Piccolo Contract

I double Piccolo in my orchestra (as you all know, and no doubt beg me to stop bringing up XD), which means you're the lucky member of the Flute section who gets to float between two instruments at your leisure. The conductor was pretty cool with that the first semester, but the second semester, I had a few solos, so he started cinching up on the causal swapping to Flute whenever the Piccolo is on a 1,408,00 measure rest. I mean, I LOVE the Piccolo, but I'd like to be able to do Flute when I have those monster rests. He's not so strict about it this semester (WHOOO!), but I still drew this comic because.

If you click on the picture, the text is way clearer.

Still Life: Phones

Cell Phone sizes throughout the years!

 

I um... accidentally colored that guy's hair purple because I was coloring in low light. Which I shall never do again! :D

You Might be an Introvert if...

...you're terrified of talking on the phone! Well, I'm fine if somebody is calling me, but if I have call them and state the reasons it's like... brrrrr. Scary. Even worse when you have to call your orchestra conductor who has a really thick foreign accent! :D... :(

 

I was trying for some uh, fancy panel composition so um... yeah. Tell me how it worked out.

On the Self-Consciousness of Teenagers

Whoa, when did this review site start posting drawings? ;D
'hem, I drew this way back in the beginning of this month, the day we went to see The Lego Movie. Which I immensely enjoyed. But despite the fact that I liked it so much, I did feel a little self-conscious walking into the theater.
Hence, this was created.

I find this comic's lack of color rather irritating. I considered putting movie posters, or (since our theater has them) colorful pillars, but they would have cluttered the  dialogue and distracted attention from the characters. Rrg. Also, my comic-alter-ego looks an awful lot like Yoko Ono.
Anyhoo, later amigos!

SALSA!!

So, last week we went over to a friend's house and had a rockin' awesome time. You know, Dancing Video games were played, Cupcakes were consumed, Salsa was... well, I'll let the chibis do the talking.

In case you couldn't read my tiny, messed up handwriting, the label on the Salsa jar reads "MILD". Which is what the real jar said. Dirty liars. If it makes your tear ducts start trying to irrigate your face, it is not mild. Unless you're my dad, he could eat a hundred Guatemalan Insanity Peppers and not tear up. Go Dad! :D

I've become the very evil I longed to wipe out...

You know how it's fun to ridicule all the Beliebers and One Direction fangirls? Well, alas, for without realizing it, I'm guilty of fangirling over some guy's voice too. Am I confessing to being a Belieber? No, it's this.

Admittedly, it's not stupid like One Direction and Beebs, but the reaction is pretty much the same. Interesting.

Attention Span



A while back, me and my mom were talking about how short attention spans are like little faerie versions of you that are constantly vying for your attention.

Diagram that sentence. I'm quite terrible at explaining things, as you see. :)

 



As you can see, I have some issues. I also forget to block out my real name. Whatever. XD
Oh, and the tag 'still life' refers to comics that are based off real life. Just in case you thought I was dumb enough to think this qualified as a real art still life.
