Witches...

Just some sketches of the witches of Oz. I,ve been trying to re-read my old Oz books to refresh my memory for Namesake (the plot thickens in the webcomic, btw, things are getting stabby!) I tried to reference the original Oz illustrations for the clothing style. I found the clothing in Oz always looked like a mix of Indian/Asian and Victorian. It's very art nouveau. Behold : 



As a result, it's flowy and crazy fun to draw.

I've been REALLY busy lately. Like, the insane end of busy. I can barely find time to draw, which is pretty much why all my sketches are Namesake-oriented. Mostly, my social life just boosted. Lately, i've had the chance to see many friends I haven't seen in a while. I took the chance to see them because I probably won't see most of them again before another 6 months at least! So please forgive my lack of internet presence, both in the sketching and on the chatting. Work is also real busy. In any case. I,m sorry. I wish I could be everywhere at once. Not because I feel I have to, but because I want to. 

Honestly, I would not be so pressed for time if I didn't have to share my free time between "art" work and fun. Aaah, someday, someday. I,ll be able to draw all day and get my salary that way. I hope.

This weekend, I saw my parents too. and my friend Fauve's brand new house. I still can't believe she got a house at 25. Wow. Some people are organized.

Speaking of organized, while I was gone all weekend to see my parents in Ottawa, here in Montréal, Link re-organized the apartment. The studio looks so much better now. But I can,t find my scissors! And my paint! Argh! I have a bunch of things to find and put away. Oh well. A small sacrifice for a better studio.

I also took the time to watch How to Train your dragon. In two parts (while eating supper). It's... It's so awesome. I love it so. I get the feeling this and Tangled are going to be my favorite animated movies of all time. Why Tangled too? Because i'm super excited for every scrap of animation I see of Tangled. Clearly, the obsession as begun.
