Yesterday and this morning I was thoroughly fed up with the stupid monkeys who inhabit this planet. I'd finished my last sequence on Friday so when I came in I didn't have anything to do besides wait for revisions, so I passed some time by watching another Doctor Who episode* and for the rest of the day was full of glee. In tribute I drew this beeeeautiful depiction of the Doctor's magical effect on my day.
[EDIT: Because I can't leave things well enough alone, I've niggled with this ... if you saw it in the first 24 hours it was posted, refresh! It looks sooooo much better now.]
A barely passable attempt at the ninth Doctor ... couldn't make him look as kooky as he can, though.
I've had 'The Ballad of Billy McCaw' stuck in my head all weekend and so tried to get it out by listening to Cats again. Didn't work (it's still stuck) but I played around with some Growltiger stuff.
Growltiger woos the Lady Griddlebone (who, it appears, is trouble in her own right) ... thank you, Life Drawing. What shall I do through the month of August when neither work nor school is holding it? Nothing will be drawn at all!
My fantabulous sister is rubbing off on me. A little. Need more.
Look at my effective time management! I'm going to be a zombie tomorrow! Hooray!

Date: 2006-08-01 02:05 pm (UTC)Thank you so much for saying it captured him ... I'd been working on trying to get a graphic, simplified caricature all day and only managed that one during Naked People Time.

Date: 2006-08-01 05:59 pm (UTC)Awww, I love how Griddlebone's all tiny and dainty and Growltiger's all hunched up and looming but trying to be gentle and charming. Contrast roxors.

Date: 2006-08-01 08:58 pm (UTC)How far have you got through the series? There's a wonderful line in The Empty Child.
"My nose has special powers."
"Do your ears have special powers too?"

All acting prowess aside, I wonder if David Tennant got special consideration for Doctor #10 on account of his name ... it's the most obvious mnemonic ever.
hello!
Date: 2006-08-02 03:52 am (UTC)I also admire your ability to remain productive creative, humorous, and hopeful (occaisional lapses are allowed) in the face of overwhelming tragedy, despair and frightening, infuriating stupidity and/or evil that seems to rule the day.

Date: 2006-08-02 04:09 am (UTC)I suspect this is rather a 'lapse' out of hopelessness and into creativity and humour, if relative duration of moods is considered. But I'm enjoying it while it lasts. Is this a 'lapse' back into the internet for you or are you back back?
(ulp!)
Date: 2006-08-02 04:31 am (UTC)I am OK - though things were looking a bit dicey for a while (again, I'll provide more details later - really!)
I will also see if I can dig up some of that Cats stuff...

They've just finished here in England, and I've had to resort to watching the REALLY old episodes, back with William Hartnell.
You poor thing!

Date: 2006-08-02 09:34 am (UTC)An obvoius mnemonic... which I completely missed.
I, for no reason at all, have a mental list of 'Films never to let Rose Tyler watch'. 'Let Him Have It' is top of the list.

Date: 2006-08-02 02:53 pm (UTC)Also, hi. I don't think I've introduced myself before...?
I'm Abs, an anonymous lurker on LJ, and you're really only one of about 4 LJ's I read regularly, and the 2nd I've commented on, so whee!
I love your art, I love your taste in literature, and I especially love that you've recently become a Doctor Who fan. Hooray for Pratchett, Potter and Who!

Re: hello!
Date: 2006-08-03 03:35 am (UTC)And I totally agree on the the stupidity that rules right now, it's just... I tend to lose faith in the world, really.
