tealinToday's favourite line from the BBC (or rather, the person being interviewed):
"The UN doesn't have a history of this sort of hanky-panky..."
Ah, visual imagination.
July 16th, part ... er, lost count.
Torrey Pines - My favourite beach (most of the time) when we used to live in San Diego. It's a state park, I think, and it preserves what the coastline used to look like before it was covered in cookie-cutter stucco houses and overpriced boutiques ... which is actually quite lovely.
Kelp on the Beach - So pretty. There were sand crabs. I've never seen them anywhere else. I'm going to play with the clone stamp and see if I can remove that skim boarder on the edge...
Into the Sunset - Well, not really, more generally northwards, through the avocado (on the hillsides) and citrus (on the lowlands) plantations of the interior region, to visit some friends for the night.
And then, today...
This ... well.
I was trying to draw 'Aw Crap' Enjolras but I'm really really bad at square-jawed, dashing, charismatic rock-star types, so I tried a straight-on view. It ... didn't really work. But thanks to the accompaniment of my colleague and Brand New Roommate, I managed to make it all worthwhile. Even more worthwhile than it would have been.
He became Kane McCain, mascot of the McCain baking company (who secretly binges ... see lower right). The incredibly BAD drawing of my other roommate (she does not look that freaky) got incorporated as well, as did my example of M-hair, who became ... I dunno, Combeferre? Anyway, yes, I'm sure our paralyzing giggles were the entertainment of many people on the bus. Hah, we were having a better time than they were. And now I must study Makani's marvelous artwork to see how chins are done right. And noses.
