Tricialew: The Sketch Blog
Updated Daily, weekly or monthly....
This was supposed to be a place to put my sketches and illustrations but I am a major geek as well as working graphic designer/illustrator.
You'll probably have to endure photos of my dog, car, kayak, Doctor Who, Science or craft related things as well as pics and stories about the people I love if you follow me so you have been warned.
I'll try to keep my Doctor Who gifs over at:
thisisthepartyrighthere dot tumblr dot com.
The simple truth...with a twist.

Higher Education?

Because sometimes my dog is a bad dog!

Mardi Gras, Birthdays and presents
Tuesday was, of course Mardi Gras Day.
My husband and I don’t go downtown New Orleans to celebrate anymore but the boys still do. The youngest was handcuffed and “detained” during one parade because he was an ass. But they had bigger fish to fry than a kid who touched one of the floats during the parade so they let him go after cussing him out and scaring him. If you ever come to New Orleans, do not do this. He was lucky he was not drinking. He still caught a lot of stuff thrown from the floats. I guess he’s going to decorate his room in beads….

To add to the celebration, we received the most awesome poppers/crackers from Jennifer because she is awesome. She also sent art and a letter that I keep reading because it makes me so happy (and she is the funniest person I know). She said I could share the crowns or wear them all myself. One of the boys went out still wearing his but I’m sure he claimed he was the king of his Krewe.



The pic of me wearing mine was on one of their cameras but they haven’t sent it to me yet.
The poppers/crackers that neither popped nor cracked we’re beautifully hand made and had little presents and candies. This one was my favorite.

I wonder what Lottie will trade for the Bacon Card.
I love you Jennifer!

I can’t believe I ever called him, “That Hardy Guy”
I love seeing him on my dash, thank you very much.

Tricia you are so talented!!!
notso-darling replied to your photo: Hey Jude!!!!
These are amazing! Seriously, so great. You are so talented.
Thank you both so much. It’s probably less talent or skill than it is determination. I’m determined to sketch more and also carry around boys that make me smile in my pocket.

I’m so glad you are posting, and not just because this is Tom Hardy’s face, I’VE TUMBLR MISSED YOU SO, Tricia! So, how long on average does a ball point men take?
The average ball point man takes about an 1.5-2 hours.
Also, they are only 3.5” x 5.5”, so they are pretty small.
I woke up at 1:30 am and couldn’t sleep so I started Hugh and finished him about 2:45 when I was ready to sleep again.
Out of context, this reply could be pretty dirty.
My sketchbook has been busy.
I’ve been sketching a lot in Ball Point Pen and I’m getting the hang of it. I like that I can’t erase and at the same time I hate that!
I’m going to post a whole series of sketches that I lovingly call Ball Point Pen Men.
This is the first from yesterday…inspired by a conversation I had a while back with with Jennhoney:
Me: Hardy has a great giggle.
Jennhoney: He pretty much has a great everything, that’s the conclusion I’ve come to in my education.
After staring at various photos of him for over an hour…I concur.

I like mojitos a lot too. A lot a lot.
As far as I can figure, there is absolutely nothing about them that is unlikeable!
kvtaylor replied to your photoset: Look! There’s the Goodyear blimp! Poke it! Now…
Ahahah I love you guys. You’re so weird and awesome and blimp-eating. My only vacation this year was a wedcation too.
I love when YOU call ME weird! It’s like an honor or something! I hope you get more vacationing in the coming months. Also…Thank you for the signed book! I love carrying it around the house and re-reading excerpts…out loud.
jennhoney replied to your post: I ate more than 28 strips of bacon in 6 days
Welcome HOME!
jennhoney replied to your post: I ate more than 28 strips of bacon in 6 days
I missed you too. I’m still missing you, but I feel like all I can do since I got home is work, eat and sleep. Catching up on Tumblr seems such a daunting task. I don’t think I can ever. Also, I don’t think I’m sick…I don’t feel sick…I just feel like sleeping is so necessary at all times.
jennhoney replied to your photoset: Look! There’s the Goodyear blimp! Poke it! Now…
so great! UGH and good cloudage! I could really go for a Blimp right now
That reminds me. I took some photos of more night cloudage just for you from our balcony! See I was thinking of you! Here you go: (this is still not your gift)

d’awww… look at his toes! I love his little toes! His toe-lings! GAH! He wants to cuddle, despite not having arms. His EARS want to cuddle. Awwwww.
I kept thinking that his ears could do lots of things since I forgot to give him arms and hands. Hugging would be one of those things.
jennhoney replied to your photo: Pretty sure that I have other things that need to…
Well, He IS an amazing gif(t) !
Thanks but still not it. I may have it ready for the end of Festivus but I keep melting things. You’ll understand in time, grasshopper.
jennhoney replied to your photo: Today was lovely.
This is so true!
Did you see this whole interview with Neil? He said that when he stays in his house in Scotland and visits the Nicholson family, they serve him enough scotch that he apparently drunk dials people in a Scottish accent. I think this is an awesome phenomenon.
jennhoney replied to your post: jennhoney replied to your post: I’m the worst…
try to have a good time, at some point you just have to give it up to the vacation gods, life saving medications, cash, and travel documents and identification, you can get most anything else in Miami
Oh, I’ll definitely enjoy the not working part. And hanging out with Todd is always entertaining. Also, I just found out that Art Basal is going on there this weekend. I like events with no dress code.
jennhoney replied to your post: I’m the worst suitcase packer ever
I’ve checked all my spell books but I can’t find this one!
But at least I’m laughing instead of wanting to cry now.
I’m just so very tired.
jennhoney replied to your video: Those were not even the words! Mostly I was just…
hahaha. so great! I don’t know the words to anything.
That song is one that I always sang the wrong words to every time I heard it. When I downloaded the lyrics and chords, I couldn’t sing the right words even while reading them.
My lyrics are cooler even though they make no sense.
I hereby pardon myself for the as-yet-uncommitted crime of doing jack shit for the rest of this week. That’s right, it is that (in)famous American holiday, Thanksgiving. I plan to eat, drink, and watch football unabashedly.
Also, bring shame upon my family.
KV Taylor and Her Nonsense: Thanksgiving Pardon

I’m missing my sibs, nieces and nephews, and their significant others so very much.
I was lucky to be able to drive the 1012 miles to be with them last year.
This year we are having dinner at home…with bacon and steak.
I almost bought Tofurkey at Whole Foods just to try it.
This warning from Kate put an end to my curiosity.
I will also miss football butts.

NO. use a picture of his butt until she finishes her homework. She’s just going to stare at this and heart this and reblog this and butt butt penis butt. ahahaha.
I may or may not have a photo with full exposure but I don’t really want to scar her for life.
I’m just waiting to see how long she can stand NOT hearting that last post
Cajun Reeboks…
After having a chat with Jennifer about shrimp boots (cajun reeboks) I remembered that just 2 weeks ago, my husband had to be forced to remove his before attending an event relating to his daughter’s wedding type thing at a country club down on the bayou in Thibodaux, LA. He thought they went nicely with his tie.

This is the right color, Jennifer.
I’m not sure why.
I still want to call mine wellies.
Jennifer says: “As long as they aren’t pink or ~patterny~
Mine are exactly pink AND patterny which you can almost tell in this photo.

If my accent or lack thereof didn’t target me as a damn yankee, my boots did.
