Magenta on the Brain

Coxcomb


Also known as Coxcomb, but it's much more interesting to call it My Brain on Open Examination (picked up at the Farmer's Market today). I do love bizarre flowers.

In a completely unrelated note, here are my summer goals:
1. Do 1 month's worth of short stories prompted by 3 AM Epiphany
2. Read 6 books (or more!)
3. Participate in Illustration Friday!
4. Learn Illustrator
5. Take life drawing
6. Develop online photography & illustration portfolio
7. Start a novel draft
8. Read (and possibly do) The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron
9. See a bunch of good films
10. Write/illustrate a children's book

I just (finally!) bought a scanner, which I should be receiving tomorrow. I am beyond excited because this means so many things in terms of developing as an illustrator! I'm also very (geekily) excited because I just put three books on hold that will be available for pick-up at my local library. Say what you will about the cons of L.A., but I'll be happy as long as the public library stays amazing!
