I am so stuck in summer.
I can’t believe it wants to end!
I made this doodle as an homage to summer and to Jimmy who is obsessed with all things flamingo:
I imagine that if we were birds Jimmy would be a flamingo. All tall and eating shrimp.
If I were a bird, I’d be a hummingbird, just small and never staying in one place.

What can I say… I’m a simple girl who likes when fruit is kind.

So I have been really into the game on making mermaids lately…
And until today I couldn’t think of one thing I could do better than a mermaid could.
But then I spilled a big cup of iced tea on a drawing I was working on and very much realized something very important.
It would be very hard to draw underwater!!!
And If I couldn’t draw… I would be a very very sad illustrator.

Does anybody out there watch Game of Thrones?
I know that is a silly question because… it so popular it has a monopoly theme version!
My friend Connie who is a big fan asked me to make her a doodle of Jon Snow from the show so she could make it into a shirt.
And here I will admit, that I don’t watch the show… but when I saw this guy when figuring out what to draw… I was like, I could see why people really like this show…
Kit Harington is really dreamy.
And if it’s all him and Peter Dinklage… I could see everyone liking it.
Maybe I should give it a good binge watching.

Today I had just one goal.
To eat fries.
And today at dinner… I lived that dream!
fries, fries, fries, fries!
And that was it… successful day.

Wait…
I had enough time to draw 2 things this week
#ALLMYDREAMSARECOMINGTRUE
This one was inspired by the fact that anytime we hang a flag Elliott thinks it’s his duty to attack it.
He has been staring at the American Flag all afternoon.
And he really looks confident this year.

Somewhere being obsessed with the ocean and watching a lot of movies… I made this little doodle:
I can actually say I have felt like a bird that fell in love with a fish at some point in my life. And well, we never figured it out.. so I fly, and he swims and we don’t ever ever cross paths.
I don’t know if it ever could have worked. And I guess since the sky is full of opportunities there is no real reason to think about it.
But I’d like to imagine the fish and the bird in the doodle can totally figure it out. Don’t you?
And where does this phrase come from? Does it show up in more than “Fiddler on the Roof” and “Ever After”?

I know that it’s supposed to be summer… but all I’m seeing is grey skies and sprinkles.
And even though this weekend was supposed to be all BBQ’s and throwing frisbees… I swear most of my weekend was delicious soups, comfy sweaters, and blankets with corresponding movies.
And it was glorious.
Now… don’t get me wrong I’m not so into the grey that I don’t want the sun.
In fact, I really want sun!
I just want to be out in the sun with a delicious treat!
Happy Summer Everyone!

My brain is so full of tile sizes and weird specifications that I couldn’t think of anything to draw today…
And then when I briefly emerged from my brain fog at lunch I heard this, and gave it a quick sketch
Thanks Lindsay for giving my something to draw!
