Happy combination.

Yesterday I hopped on a bus to the Americana for a second dose of free research at Barnes & Noble. Found the books & started sketching.It shall be finished today!

This morning

I drooled heartshape! I think the 'whoa' factor outweighs the 'gross'

My Scratch Map

I am FINALLY the proud owner of one. YES! I've been eyeing this for a long time. I can't wait to scratch off 21 countries :)

The Invisible Creative Muse

I haven't read Eat Pray Love or anything so I can't vouch for the writings of Elizabeth Gilbert, but I do like what she has to say about the invisible creative muse.

She believes inspiration is a separate entity that 'visits' you. So, all you have to do is be open to it, and it'll bless you with an idea. Or something to that extent.

So this morning I noticed I had yoga penciled in but UGH, I just didn't feel like going. Something in my gut said, Yoga? GROSS! So I listened to it. I was lounging around the house, gchatting & listening to a J. Period mixtape when BOOM! I just started drawing.

Tandem bicycling with an ELEPHANT = dream come true!Now I have 5 paintings in progress :). Life is so curious.
