secondlina A couple of weeks ago, I designed a wedding invitation for one of my best friends. I,m quite proud of the end result. Took a lot of sketching and a couple of versions to get to this :
Here's my second favorite version :
I did a bunch of sketches. It was cool to try to find a bunch of ways for a couple to hold each other. In this case, there was an eztra challenge because he groom is actually shorter then the bride, so all the really classic swoon poses can look a bit strange. I had a ton of fun with the sketching.
As a couple of you may know, yesterday was a bit of a breakdown for me. I slept a lot today. I feel better. I feel like a bit of a wuss nowadays, because my patience is running thin and I seem to get easily annoyed with a lot of things that don't usually get to me. This was accented yesterday by me having some kind of life crisis and people telling me to get over it rather then being supportive or at least quiet while I flip out. I mean... Yeah. Life is hard I guess. Mine lacks a lot of direction. And it's starting to worry me. I mean, sometimes I feel like Sisyphus, rolling up my rock up that hill, and as soon as I feel like i'm actually moving forward, it rolls back down. I know i'm not the only person in this situation. I know I probably don't have as much right to complain as a lot of people. But I still bitch and moan once in a while. It actually helps. I've been bitching way too much lately I suppose. So... I'm sorry i'm disappointing people.
*sigh* watcha gonna do?
In a more positive note, there a launch for Jabberwocky this weekend in Montreal. It's on Saturday, June 4 · 4:00pm - 7:00pm at the "Cheval Blanc" ((809 Ontario Est, Montréal, QC H2L 1P1). come by and say hi! Get a cool book! We actually don't have a lot of Jabberwockies left (which is why I didn't do a "sell" post yet on here). But we should get some more reprinted soon.
Over and out!

Date: 2011-06-04 02:26 am (UTC)Though I didn't comment on the actual post, I saw it. I'd like to let you know that - while I can't speak for anyone else - you're not disappointing me in the slightest. Yes, I only really have any contact with you over the Internet, but I will be here for you, Isa. If ever you need someone to talk to, let me know! You have my undying support, as an artist and as a person. I hope things turn around as soon as possible. =)
Also, I need to get my hands on a copy of Jabberwocky sometime this summer. Hopefully, as soon as I get a job this summer!

Date: 2011-06-04 03:35 am (UTC)As for the complaining, I don't think you do so often, and it's better to vent it out and let yourself deflate those negative energies rather than bottle them up until you explode over something seemingly trivial just because you hadn't said anything in forever. No worries my sweet! ;)
Have fun at the Jabberwocky launch! Can't wait to get my own copy! I ordered a Warrick/Emma print the other day; something to look forward to in the mail! Woot! =D

Date: 2011-06-04 04:47 am (UTC)Considering how long you've been putting up with a bad situation at work, it was only a matter of time before the stress all caught up with you. You need to vent, but mostly, you really need to get the heck out of there! I really hope you have good news on job interviews by the time I get to catch you online again, In the meantime, get plenty of rest. It really is one of the best ways to cope with the stupid stress.
And SHOCK! Now that I have income, I might be sorely tempted to get one of your comics. Jabberwocky was certainly an interesting take on it. Hrm...)

I'm sorry about the breakdown. And I hope you find the direction you're wanting. And, bitching is okay. :) Goodness knows I do it all the time.
I really hope everything gets better.

Date: 2011-06-07 03:54 am (UTC)Yeah, i'm definitely reaching the breaking point. I never spent so much time with so little energy, so much depression and so little self-worth. Boo, crappy job, boo.

Date: 2011-06-07 03:55 am (UTC)I guess so. I'm just used to being more positive, so when i'm negative, I feel rotten.
