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

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!

My friend Veronica and I are having a drawing challenge that hopefully will help me become a better artist.
Fingers crossed!
Today’s challenge was to draw our (drawing) utensils.
I have been trying to improve my drawing abilities… because why the heck not.
And to combine that with my penchant for drawings Mermaids… and you get…
Well, you get more mermaids… just drawing with eyes instead of my signature beady-eyes
This one is a shout out to my homie Elisa and her uncanny ability to always be on vacation or planning one!
Right now she’s planning our vacation to Greece! We are going there this spring and it’s going to be amazing. And we are going to do what we do best, drink, laugh and look at buildings and stuff. I feel like I should put that on my resume…. so someday I can be professional looker at buildings, with an emphasis in laughing and drinking.

I forgot to post this one sooner.
I’ll keep is short and sweet.

Have a great day!

p.s. Thanks to Alex for learning how to talk, and then my sister for letting me secretly doodle the funny things her baby tells us
p.p.s. thanks to Jen of Jen and Tonic for making that comment on my instagram
I heard the news today, oh boy…
At 6 am my sister told me that one of my all time favorite people who have ever made a melody on this planet passed away.
My reaction was, as always is in this situation… “no.”
It was just his birthday.
He just released an album on Friday.
“No.”
But then I checked my phone and had like 6 different people telling that it was true… that David Bowie was gone.
Now, like many people I never met him in person. But I feel like I knew him on a different plane. He was such an inspiration to art (not just my own), to color, to vibrations. He was really something else. And I’m so glad the world got to experience the reaches of his imagination down to his last day.
Thanks David Bowie for all the magic, and all the inspiration,

I feel like since I have been working in retail design that now I have an official opinion about fashion.
And because I saw seasons of fashion just thrown into a junky room full of screens for like 9 hours a day for like… every weekday I can say things with an authority or something.
Because then Indiana Jones will never ask me out to the Spring Fling Dance.
Happy 2016,
Lauren
Merry Christmas Internet!
I’m like up to my eyes in presents and glitter!
I hope everyone out there has a happy holiday and just feels so happy and lucky to be wherever they are right now!
Happy Holidays!
