zoo drawing is fun. it's mostly sketching the rear ends of animals that are trying to ignore you. you can also tell which animals are more animated since their drawings are shittier. we should totally go to the natural history museum where all the animals are dead (unmoving), smell nice, and are forever locked into dynamic poses.

bankrupt jewish ninjas go trick or treating

OK. so - i think it's time we break this dry spell& get everyone re-involved... with a TOPIC!! yay. i had some exciting& somewhat cliche ideas for some themes to get people pumped ab drawing& posting:

1. financial crisis
2. halloween
3. yom kippur
4. ninja's& (see 1-3)

the rape of the cupcake.

Hahahha. This is what I did on my lunch break today. Hahaha. I just had this thought yesterday as I was eating a cupcake from someone's birthday party -- I was licking off the icing and then putting it back on my desk for later (than 10am) - and I looked at the half eaten cupcake by my phone and felt kind of sad.

Hahha.

So, here are some sketches (finally) from my trip to the zoo -- which was really fun& interesting. I got to see a different part of (outer) Columbus. It was really big& new and also next to a water park (a little tacky) and a golf course--all part of the zoo. Parking& admission were cheap, hooray. And I got to drive through some rural areas that reminded me a lot of Fresno due to their massive developments& brand new shopping centers. But there were also cute main streets that looked some what old (from atleast the 70s.)

My day at the zoo was a very chill experience. I dropped my ipod in the rhino pit. Other than that - super chill. I would like to do this again - evidently they have a jazz night at the zoo regularly. The thought of sketching while listening to live jazz just sounds awesome. Yes, zoo again soon (preferably without dropping ipod into animal cage). Cheesy as it sounds - I'd really like to bring Adam or perhaps ELAINE my sketching buddy^^

moose& kt

So - this is my 2nd animal costume. More like, animal hat. I thought of this yesterday because I'm starting to feel really consumed by the a&f culture. optimistic! aspirational! sexy! effortless cool! independent! and so it goes. haha. (so i guess this can be kind of a a&f-ified self portrait. (cos - no way am I that cute/skinny/sexy/independent/aspirat--ugh.)

Also - I've always liked the idea of having fashion models with gigantic animal heads. I had an awesome vision of the models outside the a&f flagship in nyc wearing huge moose masks. how cool would that be ? hollister could have seagull masks that are just giant birds. kekeke.

Off to the gym... to attain that effortlessly cool look (which takes a lot of effort, i imagine.)

landmark.

so i guess this is going to be our little home. woot woot. i can't wait to get started. today at work we all received fancy wacom tablets. hot. i'm gonna be doing some damage with those. and once i get around to finding a scanner somewhere - i'll be posting some hand-drawn sketches i've been doing. i've been trying to do some drawings every night--whether from photo, memory or life.

and i'm trying to do some fashion drawings as well.

looking for that life drawing open session---
*sigh*

anyone in columbus who knows - lemme know.

-kt.

__edit. i found the open drawing. thx for the sarcasm elaine. also - first sketch! animal costumes. hehe. hooray for anime dorkiness.
