grey sweats forever

I don't know what it is about a classic grey sweatshirt that gets me all in a tizzy but I absolutely love them. I LOVE THEM. At this point I may have bought too many but I cannot seem to stop. I feel like they go with any color, not as harsh as black and you really can't tell if the get dirty. With everyone getting stoked about festivals and world championships, and le tour de france, I can't resist my inner tomboy who want to pop open a couple of brewskies and enjoy the game or the tunes or whatever! With the fourth of July right around the corner I'm reminded of Lisa Simpson when she tried to become "cool" while on vacation. I mean her summer looks was just the tops, and her indifferent attitude matches my summer goal of being chill and supporting my local (or non local) team. I was surfing the web for more sweaters and I saw this Liverpool sweater from Simons. Even though Liverpool isn't playing the world cup per se, I still totally love it. Plus in Chicago, it doesn't always get hot hot hot consistently so a grey sweatshirt is a perfect accessory for when temps drop and you need something to cover up without feeling too hot. Hail the grey sweatshirt and the indifferent summer attitude. I'll be serious in September.

i fleetly flee i fly

as you well know I have almost been gone for an entire MONTH, almost anyway.... I have been trying to spend LESS time on the internet MORE time making art. Too many opportunities have arose in my life too pull my attention in too many directions. HOWEVER, i will still keep up this blog this is why I made it pwetty....

and oh for those who don't follow me on tumblr, I would love to introduce you to the love of my life Cooper Bernstein, he's the mascot in the header, even though he's fictional, he's truly got the best of my love---- learn more about him here. I feel obligated to make a comic about him...will do..later.....

My resolutions fyi:

be more productive

be more punctual (CP TIME IZNT A REAL TIME)

spend less $$$

and read MOAR

+++spend less time on tumblr...thats right

my art

and it has worked. I have been getting more sleep. I allow myself to browse it throughout the day BUT i have a cut off time, and its been great! I also tried to focus my blog, let it be less about kittens & y u no memes, but more of the alter ego to this blog. plus I try to allow me weekends to be FOR ME not for the interwebs, so if you notice me disappearing fri-sun its because I'm pretending to be human....

I have been working more on my ART in the meantime which includes:

making comics...

making gallery art (more prestine than...comics)

making random stuff for hahas because as artist we like to make random stuff

ELEANORZINE (which sucks up a lot of time)

I'm trying to do these things RITE and not rush through them, I apologize if eleanorzine is taking longer than we had hoped but i want it to be ...nice, nothing slapped together, not sooooo many typos..i want it to be great and not rushed for time...so be patient my friends, she will arrive fashionably late, but still...fashionably

Other things that have been taking up my time have been:

taking a milinery class & applying for summer internships ala NYC....

me in nyc many moons ago...

whipping together a decent portfolio takes time especially when they want to keep it. I would love love love to pick up my kit and move to NYC forevers, but I need to be prepared for it....

I'm definitely be focusing my energy on my REAL LIFE recently( i often forget i HAVE one of those :/), having an internet presence is grand, but I want my actual life to be focused and striding....

+I have been spending less recently but i want to save that info on tomorrow's post (if it shows up tomorrow!)

till tomorrow...
