the certainty of insecurity - finished drawing

I did finish this one though! In my last post I complained about my tendency to leave everything unfinished. But here it is, The Certainty of Insecurity.

the certainty of insecurity

I wish I could finish some actual art. I start many drawings. I have mountains of ideas piled up in my head. But I never finish anything. It's a very bad habit.

A work in progress! It's a little bit strange I know, it was an image that came to mind as I was falling asleep in my car one sunny day. I'm not sure what to do with it next; does he need legs? Should there be things in the background? What colour will it be??

I have been working on some actual doodles, I've just been too lazy to scan them. So in the meantime, here's some more MS Paint work.

fools among stars

Because I haven't posted in a few days, here's a drawing I did on MS Paint in under eight minutes, titled Fools Among Stars, and the song that was playing while I was making it.

toothpaste

I have no idea how this came about. I guess it's the kind of thing one creates in MS Paint after midnight.  I've actually been making my own toothpaste for a couple of years now; I may or may not print this and stick it to my jar. Perhaps then my family members won't mistake it for a facial scrub.

Something I scribbled up at work before I knew how to do basic copying.. now that I've learned some things, there seems to be a lot less time for doodles.

Begin Again

I watched this movie last night, and LOVED it!! For many reasons. It's about music, and it's about what music means to you as an individual, and it's about choosing to do your own thing. And the music was really quite fantastic; I certainly never knew Keira Knightley could sing, but her voice is distinct and lovely. The acting was excellent as well - seriously, compare the Mark Ruffalo from, say, 13 Going On 30 to the Mark Ruffalo in this movie. Same actor, completely different characters, and that's what I love about good acting. I love this movie, and the soundtrack, and I'm sure you will, too.

Also, major style inspiration from Keira Knightley.
