I'm going to California for a few days. I'll be posting again on Monday or Tuesday!
Day 36. My Most Mundane Portrait Yet!
Today I had my license renewed, so my drawing reference for today was my temp license. No, I didn't write my address on there, so if you feel like stalking me you'll have to do more research. I didn't really cut the card out symmetrically, did I? The driver's license is on top of a document from the IRS because what else could be more boring? Hey, don't judge me! These things are legitimate experiences! Anyway, the license photo turned out okay. I have the self-conscious and forced smile that earned me the nickname "Pain Girl" in high school. Some things never change.
Quick peek into the studio.
Here is a little look at my studio right now. It might be in need of some cleaning. I tend to curl up on the floor and work among piles of references and materials. I am also a big believer in throwing whatever isn't immediately useful onto the floor. How do other poor artists do it? Send me photos of your offices and studios!
Day 32
Throwing psychic daggers is pretty difficult unless you have an extremely complacent look on your face.
For example:

Day 32. Internet! I've missed you!
So Isaac goes on a camping trip and my internet craps out. Isaac comes back and fixes it. Sorry I've been away for so long. I'm not gone forever. Promise. More to come.

Day 31. The pop culture post.
Here is a fun little caricature. This self-portrait reminds me of Aeon Flux because I am both bony and a trained killer. However, the comparison ends there because I don't wear the face-hugger alien as underwear.

Day 29. Hell is other apples.
I don't know. At least I'm not wearing a tank top in this one.

Short hiatus.
I am in at the pseudo in-laws this weekend with no functional scanner, so self-portraits will appear again on Monday. Have a good weekend, all!
Day 25. Awesome Dees.
I stayed up late learning jujitsu and talking about horror movies with new friends. Now it's time for bed. But first, an extremely accurate self-portrait.
Day 22. It's hard being gullible.
Fact 1: I can only go on three rides at the carnival. After ride four—I throw up.
Fact 2: Someone always convinces me to go on the fourth ride. If they can do it, so can I!

Day 21. Back to Business.
I really do like the Jenni Dogs. I might make a Jenni Dog comic strip for the blog! In the meantime, here I am in full human form!

Day 20--Birthday Celebration!
Today Isaac took me to Albuquerque in celebration of my birthday. We strolled through the Aquarium and the Botanical Gardens, then went to a cute little outdoor tavern off of Central. These are the things we saw in the 30 minutes we were there: 3 prostitutes, 1 drug rendezvous, a man making a spectacle of an enormous pink iguana, a leathery woman trying to sell me size 7 shoes, and another person from Huntsville, Alabama. We concluded that the ladies of the evening were working out of a little corner store/restaurant down the street, and everyone else (including Lizard Man and probably Huntsvegas) all knew each other. In short, these people were about as incognito as a bar of soap. We finished the evening at Tucanos, where we ate our body weight in strange meats. Happy early birthday to me!

Day 17. Nonsense.
Today's drawing was made WHILE DRIVING. Clearly. I was probably still driving better than most people here. It's really important that they get to Whole Foods—and fast!
