Tricialew: The Sketch Blog

canamharris replied to your post: I’m the worst suitcase packer ever

1. I hope they do that one underwear and socks thing while your gone, that’s classic 80’s! 2. I am horrible at packing too. I either over or under pack! For Can. Thanksgiving I over packed the kids and then underpacked for me!

That underwear and socks thing (Risky Business?) is kind of normal for them since they have to run past the kitchen to get to the laundry room. 

I’m okay with them staying home as long as we don’t come home to:

• charred remains (human or dwelling)
• a 3 lb dog - he’s 6 lbs now and if he loses that much weight, some heads are going to roll
• all of my belongings sold to pay for a lifetime Xbox Live account
• bench warrants / being expected to bail anyone out of anywhere

You guys are too much….

Thank you all for all of your kind comments on that project. I love you all so much for your encouragement. I really enjoy doing digital painting now that I’ve gotten used to the tablet and not being able to turn my paper to get a better angle to draw with…but…I still feel like doing work like this is little like cheating because you can use an infinite amount of layers until you get stuff right and delete the crappy ones at will and OMG I LOVE THE UNDO COMMAND!!!

These are not luxuries one has when putting pen or pencil to paper nor paint to canvas. I wish I could get this detail with my colored pencils and I’m still afraid of oil paints.  I feel like most of you guys could do this if you spent hours getting used to that tablet and hoarded as many reference photos of David Tennant as I have.

DO NOT EVER DO THIS!!!! PLEASE!!! I’m just old and have drawn a lot of pictures (more crappy ones than good ones) but these digital paintings take less talent than they do skill…and by that I mean, you just have to neglect everything else in your life for hours at a time and keep practicing. Also, play all your computer video games with the tablet because then using it becomes second nature. Unfortunately, I’m serious about that last comment.

And this is why I love you, and why I love Tumblr.

And I love you back. I love Tumblr so much that I’m often late for work because I can’t leave until I have lots of coffee and check out what I missed the night before.

Tricia = fabulous.

The Claire=Magnifcent

I also have to give Todd some points here because he might not always share my obsession with toys and awesome things, but he plays along and was willing to drive with Beaker on his hand while I took pictures.

So awesome! I have the entire set of muppet finger puppets that starbucks put out like 9 years ago. My favorite is Beaker!

I missed that giveaway!!!  This ain’t my first Muppet Show…hahaha. One of my favorite memories of my dad is how we always spent Sunday evenings eating pizza and watching the Muppet Show and laugh so hard.  One Christmas, he got me an Animal Muppet with eyebrows that moved and a full body.

This might be my favorite photo.

Awww. Beaker thanks you. I may leave him in my car on the gearshift or something so I can entertain myself other commuters on my drive to and from work…ya know, quell the road rage with some Beaker.

This is a Christmas photo of my best childhood friend (Animal). I think I must have been about 11 or 12 here. Actually, I wonder if I stopped maturing on this particular day because I was so happy.
