These Golden Years

Setting Sun

______Actually doodling something out this summer is my attempt to stall taking pictures since it is like a bajillion and four degrees outside.  I drew this with a vibrant rainbow of Sharpies, this pen I found on my lampshade, and a small assortment of prismacolor pencils.  One of our school's librarians proposed that I draw a picture for the library of anything in the world (which means I could have drawn a fire-breathing orange in space) that she could put up with all these other people's artsies to make a montage of artsy doom or something.

______To be honest, I really don't know why there's a colorless female sitting atop what resembles a rainbow road poured from epileptic seizures.  It was a step down from the fire-breathing orange in space, I think.  Couldn't get too crazy.

  2. I absolutely love this drawing-- it's crazy, because your personal style is so different than mine when I draw!! Maybe some time we can exchange tips or.. maybe you could draw me something and I'd do the same for you? :)

  7. This is a very sweet pictures. I really enjoy doodling but mostly for the colours of the markers as my doodles are usually pretty formless.

    yay for procrastinating and reading about other people's lives.

  12. FABULOUS! For real! I hate when my mum utilizes the word "PYSCEDELIC" ... but I feel like this TOTALLY DESCRIBES IT. If I were a kid at the library, I'd be mesmerized. Heck, I'm staring at a computer screen and I'm mesmerized! AWESOME WORK GURL.

    Congrats on da followerz!

    I'm back! Heyho I missed you and your posts! I seriously laughed then made a ridiculous voice for the suspicious bee in your last post (and that dress is ethereally gorrrrgeous). And I really like what's going on here with your artwork (that reminds me, I need to do more of the same, too!). The colors are mesmerizing.

  27. Yay for blog stalking! :D I do the same for you, don't worry! How do you get a bajillion comments though! That is stellar! And congrats on the 50 followers! I think I have a solid number of followers, but I feel like they rarely "interact" and comment, etc. :S Well, at least I have you! xD

    You are such a good artist! :)

    Love,
