Computers? Monica does not compute
Take home exams are the best! Well until I'm reminded that I fail at all most things involving modern technology.
Ok one more semester to go... I can make it as long as uni doesn't re-do their system again. =P

Meet my mum
... well actually not really as I couldn't figure out how to draw her so she's just a generic person in this latest comic.
Fun times with an ESL mum.
You might ask why this comic is all on individual pieces of paper rather than the usually neatly ruled comics. Well, that would be because I couldn't redraw panel 1. I just could'nt get my TV face right; kept looking too zombie like. Solution, tear out the panels that look better in the draft and arrange it all together!
Can't wait for season 4!!

E-card
So it's been a while but I finally have gotten around to posting this one. I've had this one on the to post list for a while...
My very first original idea engagement card! And it just goes to show how lazy I have been that in the time taken for someone to plan a wedding I have gotten around to uploading this post.
Go here's the thought process...
In brief: GUY---------------GIRL-------------------BENCH-------------------------RING
In not so brief:
Step 1: Google image search 'boy girl on bench cartoon silhouette' (silhouete because that's the cheat way for those of limited drawing skills!)
Step 2: Get super distracted at how talented people can make somehing so awesome with one colour
Step 3: Find the perfect staring out into the sunset image
Step 4: Light bulb moment! The sun is round. So is an engagment ring.
Step 5- end: Sketch, scan to photoshop. Add some filter thing as grey lead doesn't scan very well. Then realise that colour would be better. Find yellow paper, print again.
A major unforseen moment was realising I had to draw people sitting down. So in the end they kinda have funny legs instead. :P

Then realise I forgot the Congratulations and I can't write it in as I have the worst handwriting. Find more yellow paper. Print.
TA DA!

Picture (book) perfect proposals
Ok its really late and I should catching some much needed shut-eye if I'm going to make to to my 9.30 class tomorrow but there's this thing call the internet and you know how one link leads to another and then another and then awww this IS SO CUTE, me smiling stupidly while eyes twitch from staring at a computer screen too long.
In internet times this story is probably old news but in fitting with the theme of this blog I'm gonna share because it involves picture books. And if you haven't read the description on the right of this blog I'll remind you: I love picture books. You know how people pat their dogs? I pat picture books. Yes it's weird but I just like touching them, having the physical book in my hand, turning the pages, getting half way through the story and then admiring the front cover again. ...pets are cool too. Dogs over cats though. Don't hate me cat lovers. In my defence my sister who's a cat person has introduced me to the cuteboyswithcats tumblr which we check every now and then for boredoms sake and you know for the cats. Apologies sister if I've let the cat out of the bag (lol) but your my number one reader/probably my only reader so we're probably safe.
But back to the point, I was on the Huffington Post and some clicks down the track I ended up on Buzz Feed as you do. I came across a story of a guy who proposed to his girlfriend using a picture book planted in the local library.

Illustrations by Yoni Limor. Check out the above link and have a read of the actual picture book if you like.
Which in my books (lol get it?) is super cool! Thoughtfulness, surprises, great illustrations, shelves and shelves of books and captured on camera so I get to share in the adorableness.
Guy 1 had written the story himself and contacted illustrator Yoni Limor who to help him illustrate the book. Guy 1 had probably gotten the idea from from Original Guy a close friend of the illustrator who asked his friend to help him out with his picture book proposal. Cue more professional photographer happy snaps and cute illustrated animals.

If you want to know/can't be bothered BuzzFeeding it, Original Guy was a turtle to his girlfriend the bunny.
The illustrator Yoni is also on Facebook
, so for Facebook savvy people that would rather find out more about his work that way than through the link to his website above here you go.
That is all. Goodnight guys.
On a side note I learnt a bit about copyright the other day for work and know I'm paranoid if I'm referencing stuff correctly or not. So apologies original owners of copyright if I get it wrong. Let me know if I have. You know, don't sue me I'm poor uni student. Cheers. :)
Oh and I know its been ages, but I promise I've got original work coming soon. Watch this space.
