Today’s drawing challenge was to draw an unsual outfit you’d like to wear for everyday occasions.
I would be so honest to say that I love like 1980s/70s glam that I would love to be dressed like in glitter costumes all day… even if I was in the office.
And since I work in such a corporate environment… I think people would be very surprised.

I needed to make a post that wasn’t in the scope of my drawing competition!
Which probably means… it’s going to be a mermaid.
They are really what I’ve been making in my spare time… so like my mind is all nautical like all of the time.
And that’s just alright with me… it keeps my head out of space for like 30 minutes at a time.
So I present to you proudly, my Elliott and me self portrait:
it’s like my new favorite thing
Happy Monday!
Today’s drawing competition is going to be an exciting one :)
♥Lauren
Today’s drawing challenge is pretty much the most exciting part of my day.
“What are you going to eat?”
Usually I eat sandwiches that I take to work… but I have dreams.
And they are yummy
I always wish I was having chili cheese fries and shakes!
Yum, yum give me some.
But I also waiver in not wanting Richard Simmons to cry because all I eat is chili cheese fries and milkshakes, and this is why sometimes i eat vegetables.

Today’s goalie goal for drawing is to make something colorful.
Which was a lot harder then you think.
I tried to think of something colorful and make it my version of colorful.
So I present to you a peacock that is as bright at the sun”

Okay today’s’ drawing goal really threw me… because I didn’t know what it was
Veronica told me to draw a “mandala”
And much to my surprise it was not a portrait of Nelson Mandela.
It’s like a circular religious symbol. Which is not really in my ballpark of things I draw. It is also luckily for me adopted to be more of a geometric illustration that I can make without insulting peoples religions.
And although I am delightfully offensive, I keep religion and politics far from my scope of things I will make drawings about.
BUT- I do know how to draw Elliott.
And so I present the first and only cat-centric mandala on the internet*
At least it’s the only cat-centric mandala approved by Elliott.
♥Lauren
*i do not know if that statement is true, but it probably isn’t.. I mean the internet really likes cats
Today’s drawing challenge was one I particularly liked… pick an inanimate object that you wished could talk to you.
As many people know I didn’t even have to think about this.
I have always wanted to talk to my car. I want her to be like KITT but sassier. And I want to her stop crimes or whatever talking cars do.
What would you want to talk to you?
♥Lauren
ps. I can’t draw cars… maybe its good I didn’t try to be an automotive designer.
Today’s drawing challenge is something I may have failed at.
It was to create a drawing without looking at what you are making and also without lifting the pen.
Which is actually never how I draw anything.
So this is what happened. And it seems like it was made by a small child. who forgot what they were making half way through
♥Lauren
p.s. I did look at it while writing the description… my writing is not that nice if I’m not looking
Today is groundhog’s day.
It’s a time when we watch Bill Murray movies, and think about when we can wear shorts without freezing our butts off.
And although science, and weather people on TV are all like “El Nino is gonna get you… tonight” like a Gloria Estefan song…
Punxsatawny Phil is like… “Whatever whatever, it’s almost spring.”
Do you feel confused about this too? Now, who should you call about this? Maybe Bill Murray directly and not Ghostbusters… they are like ladies now or something.

So today is Jimmy’s birthday,
you may know Jimmy from this blog as my friend who likes Santa Barbara and that I think is very much the only person I met who can be a really specific Abraham Lincoln impersonator.
Something else you may not know about Jimmy is that he like flamingos.
Like in the way I like chicken… except he doesn’t eat flamingos.
He even has a whole website where he draws them : Beyond Their Pond
But I realized one thing… Jimmy has never drawn himself as a flamingo… So I did it for him!
Happy Birthday!
♥Lauren
Viciously Sweet
