Twiddly-um

[tealin]

Yesterday was a bad drawing day. Ooh, bad. But an evening spent in relative confinement with my sister (more on that later, perhaps, though really she should post about it on her blog) managed to squeeze out a few amusing doodles, even if they're not particularly fantastic:




I realised the genre of French Canadian vampirism may be an untapped vein (so to speak) of fantastic material.


Sissypoo and her little obsessions ... this story has a fuller background, but I'm not sure she wants me spilling it all over the Intarweb.


An English gentleman frolicking in his native habitat.

And how I felt about my drawing skills in general yesterday (made a link because it may put some people off their lunch) ... pretty pathetic. My new sketchbook is not off to a good start.

Oh yes, and if anyone caught The Daily Show last night, YES: the Canadian election really is that boring. But it only lasts about three months, BY LAW, which rocks. ROCKS.

Normally I just lurk around your lj, but since the subject of French Canadian vampires came up, may I suggest that you try your hand at some Minnesotan vampires? We apparently have one running for governor here, which seems like it could offer many artistic possibilities. ;)

I'm afraid I'm not as familiar with visual cliches of Minnesotans... all my impressions come from A Prairie Home Companion. : )

Being a former Minnesotan I can only tell you one thing that I know that most of us do is say 'rut' instead of 'root'and we assume Iowa is filled with brainless farmers.

If you want a funny movie that takes place in MN, check out Drop Dead Gorgeous which takes place in my former town, Chaska. Hehe, good times.

Being a life-long Minnesotan, I can say that the cliche Minnesotan at this time of year is wrapped up in scarves, hats, mittens, jackets, etc. to the point that all you have is this large bundle of winter clothing with two eyes peeking out.
