And those are a few of my favorite things!

This post is going to be a mix-match pile of stuff methinks. 

First off, my boyfriend is really awesome. I,m glad I have him around. He'll be doing all the coloring and shading for "Namesake" until i'm done with "Jabberwocky". This helps a lot. It's a good 6 hours of work I don't have to do every week. Yay! Plus i'm not very good at it so...

I found an amusing drawing on the internet showing how to create an icecream cake. I want to make this so bad. As soon as I have more free time, you bet this is happening! (Original art by the French Toast Girl). I love ice cream cakes. This one is like... custom. I should use soft sunday ice cream though. And maybe mix the cookie crumbs directly in it.... YUM.



For a lactose intolerant girl, I sure like eating them forbidden things.



Oh, and awesomeness - The studio behind the Gorgeous film "Secret of Kells" is working on a new movie called "The song of the sea". This movie seems inspired by fairy tales such as the "Mermaid Wife" or "The Seal woman". It's fairy tales similar to the "Feather dress" in the sense that it is about a fantastic being that sues a piece of cloth to change fro her magical form to a human form and that she is bound to a man who hides the cloth. Sometimes, the wife is truly in love. Other times, she is a prisoner. This type of tales are amazing, and i'm sure this animated film will be as well. I can't wait. 

Click here to watch the teaser trailer. Yes. You want to.

On this side, Jabberwocky is going well. Only 10 or so pages left, if I include all the extra drawings. Heck yeah.

As soon as Jabberwocky is done, I have a few commissions to work on (mostly, wedding invites for a few people). Then some storyboard work and some more comic work... I'm really busy but I love it. Though, as soon as Jabberwocky is over, i'll be able to put a bit more of my free time on the social side. The other projects aren't quite as insane. 

Drawing is awesome.

I look at that picture, and the first thing to spring to mind is, "Don't go breaking my heart." That song is so catchy, it's not funny. It's constantly getting stuck in my head!

Congrats on the drawing progress! The home stretch is near! It will definitely help being able to focus on just Jabberwocky for now. I'd hate for you to experience "burn out" from having too much to do in too little a time.

Life is cruel to me. I am not at all lactose intolerant, but I can't really stomach ice cream cake. Not only is it too cold for my teeth to bite into (oh, the pain!), I just don't enjoy it. And depending on the combination of things with it, it doesn't stay with me long... You could probably make a sherbet cake or some variant though, to give you the "ice cream-esque" experience without the intolerance kicking in. Way back when we always made sure to get sherbet for our lactose-intolerant roommate so she could enjoy a cold treat with the rest of us.

Dang it. Now I want ice cream. That isn't cake. Or maybe just cake. Or something to soothe my throat. Sickness finally caught up with me. XO

What? No Elvis?

Hahahaha i'm starting to feel a bit of a burn. hopefully the final stretch will be productive enough so that I can finish before it turns into a burn-out. I don't think I would burn-out, but i'm definitely having a bit of anxiety. Oh god. Can't sleep. Pages will eat me. At least i'm not sick. Oh god if I was sick on top of things... By the way, how are you doing? Feeling better?

Sherbet could work. Or mousse. I could always make a mousse cake and surround it with layers of cookie crumbs like this. Or cheese cake! THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS AND DELICIOUUUS!
