son of a bitch

Aaah, son of a bitch. Our PFD applications have been denied. There will be no miraculous influx of money. Not that I was counting on it, but it sure would have been nice. *sigh* Son of a bitch.

birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARAH!

more drawinks!

Also, a portrait of Tess! I admit to cheating a little on this one, and using Photoshop to remove a poorly-drawn cheekbone. I don’t think it’s as good a drawing, quite, as the Gem drawing, but it *looks* like Tess, so I’m really happy. I’ve never been able to draw her before. Woot woot! *beam*

*laugh*

Yay! Janne and Cat got the presents I sent them a few weeks ago; a Storm for Janne, and a couple of toy rabbits for Catriona. Cat, Janne reports, “was delighted by the rabbits from ‘Teddy and Cad’ =).” *much laughter*

drawing!

I dunno. Maybe I should give up entirely on this whole pencil drawing thing, and concentrate on drawing with pen and ink. I really enjoy it, and I seem to be kind of good at it. I just finished the first real drawing I’ve done in more than two years, a portrait of Miss Gem, one of my Maddock characters. *happy wriggle* bfe: pork roast, mashed potatoes, peas, applesauce, milk.
