(still technically) Friday Feature: doodles!

hey blogland, long time no post! this semester has gotten crazy, and i am itching for a break (not that last week's adventure to the nation's capital wasn't a fantastic mini-vacation, i just can't wait for a longer stretch).

i've done quite a bit of knitting, but none of it has been blocked or photographed yet, and as i have been neglecting our little crafty blog, i thought i'd share a bit of what i do when i'm not diligently taking notes or studiously...studying. or when lectures are boring or moronic...

inspiration: hot air balloon/dirigible race = steampunkery; young sheldon = big bang theory; narwhal= narwhals; flowers =boredom; high cheeked angry man that turned out much creepier than i ever intended = harry potter? probably...; cute yoda & flower r2d2 = discovering and reading much of EPBOT's geekery and girliness blog, and this post in particular


i have a secret for you blog-readers, whoever you may be: for years i have been wanting to author and illustrate a webcomic. and i try to think of a really good story, and work at drawing people the same way multiple times, and somehow, i just can't make it past more than 5 or so strips before i lose motivation. so here's my most recent attempt: a strip without a plot, without context, that i spent four days 'perfecting.'
