purple party


My sisters threw the most magnificent party last night for my newly married sister and her hubby. The color scheme was purple and white with a hint of silver. The food was amazing! Shout out to the creator of those dangerously good "Babe Ruth" bars (i only had about 5) and everything else: the chicken capons , potatoes, plumb crisps, meat...yum! And I was really able to enjoy due to the fact that there were two waiters serving (and not me) THANK YOU!! 

oh la la

she says it all.
...coolness!!
I agree!

This was done start to finish using a graphics tablet.
The clothing is copied from a jcrew catalog.

aim

At this point in my life were I need to figure out what I'm doing with my life, career...this quote is especially applicable. There are many goals I would like to accomplish i.e. to actually make some art to sell on my empty Estsy store, budget my time more wisely so I can sleep more, send out my resume to more job openings and work on my portfolio...the list goes on and on.

This quote was taken from a really nice blog that i added to the link on top of the page it's called leblahg, and everything on it so far I read was cute, smart and witty.So check it out if you have some minutes to spare and have a great accomplishing day!

prince

What I have on my mind now a lot is THE PRINCE.
If THE PRINCE was about a charming heroic prince who kills a dragon and saves a princess, I would have finished it last week.
But it's not!
It's a boring book on Machiavelli's opinion on how a prince should rule.
blah blah blah.
I have 20 painful pages left.
Then I have to write a 5-7 page report on it supporting a self made thesis.
Blargh.
Good luck to me,
Thank you!

ps. i didn't make the pic, it's from etsy

pink

I put together this bulletin of pics from crewcuts with my sis, username Vorala, in mind. Her little daughter,age 4, looks like a dream in her little crewcuts'clothing (and in everything else...!) I really enjoy looking at the crewcuts' magazine and website. Aside from the fact that they have the most innovative and fun stylists, their clothing is so adorable! The little ruffles combined with adult style is a truly divine. 
is it the size of the stuff that makes it so cute as well?
hey, i should be getting commission for this...
HAVE A FUN DAY,
LK

ice

Blessed be the creator of coffee and more specifically the creator of iced coffee. It has really helped me get through the day. I left to college early to get one before my 9:00 class to wake me up. And another one at 2:00 to keep me going.The funny thing is I'm still falling asleep (but at least its at 7:00 in my bed and not behind the wheel). The reason I can be falling asleep may very well be because, i have to attempted to start reading Machiavelli's THE PRINCE which is deadly boring! Anyway I hope this post is not making you fall asleep over your computer lol...Have a good one.
xoxo,
me

fresh














I changed paislies' template to simpler,fresher, more clean look. It was becoming a challenge to match the posts to the former pink square on the left. Now i have the liberty to use the entire rainbow of colors without second thought.This illustration was outlined in ink and colored with my dear Prismcolor color pencils...and of course edited on Photoshop.
May the 'new look' bring with it a bright future...for paislies and everything else:) 
HAVE A SPLENDID WEEK!!

school






My history class in college is a wee bit boring.

We first talk about everything but history for about an hour.
During that time i wonder why i get up 8ish to listen to her rambling.
Then i remember I'm doing it for credits. So i sit and doodle quietly.
These are my today's doodles. The middle gal is me, to my left is a singer and to my right is a fellow classmate,who sits near me.
We are learning about the late middle ages incase you were wondering lol.
Have a super day in the history of your life!!
xoxo,

pow

I now learnt that I am very good at shooting arcade games. You may be concerned by this ...but there is no need (as long as i don't own my own gun lol) This poster is of RED GUNS, cute guns that are replicas of real scary guns. I would like to find out were i could get a hold of one to make my fighting games with my nephews more exciting and realistic. But for now i have my make- shift version, a colorful one made out of clicks. And ps my first day of class was TODAY!
POW POW POW!!!
take care,
Laura
