To make up for it I've finally uploaded some images from my sketchbook dating from Sept.- Dec. of 2008. I think an appropriate theme could be "dreamy ladies" or maybe that's too corny. Hopefully I'll get a chance to post some more drawings before I leave to visit my lover. Tragically I could only get a plane ticket for the morning of Christmas day ( it hurts thinking about it) but I'm not about to let the poor guy spend his entire holiday alone. So yes spending Christmas morning on a long plane ride sucks, spending Christmas evening with my man totally worth it
Anyway, I happened to come across the book "Fresh Fruits" in the library. Which is amazing! I tend to get very excited about seeing people dressed up in funky costumes and the " Fruits" photo albums of Japanese street fashion have been a source of amusement and inspiration to me since high school. Course then I was more interested in spooky Gothic Lolitas. Now my taste has expanded to include frilly punk, futuristic neon stuff and twenty-year olds who want to dress like pretty magical princesses; all of which looks a hell of a lot cooler than it sounds. So yeah I'm wearing a modified Heath Ledger as the Joker disguised as a nurse costume today, even though I'm only going out to run some boring errands. Wait scratch that, I'm wearing this costume because I'm going out to run some boring errands. Also it's gray and cold and slightly soggy out so the scenery just needs more pink in it.
