—Seriously why do I do this to myself?
As if I’m not busy enough! As if I don’t do overtime everyday now!! Aaaah jeez Kat what is your deaaal?
Anyway! Sorry for my little episode.
I’ve got myself a new art project! It’s simpler than the last. And it’s really something I should do all the time if I ever want to improve.
One Moleskin. One pencil. One sketch everyday. One month. (Then maybe two months or three to a year? Well, let’s see if I can commit first. Lol what is this, my dating life? Hahahaha…..does this mean I’m gonna have to find myself first and be the best version of me for my art? LOL. Thatsrightijustwenttherebitch—I mean I’m totally kidddiiiiing~!)
Are you excited? I’m excited. This is one of the few things I can do for ages and never tire of.
Start tomorrow.
Boom boom diggity pow! Leggo!
Have you ever been so hot but tired that when you showered you pretty much did it sitting on the shower floor?
Yeah, that’s a post.
All that work today? Worth the blisters. Happy Birthday Ryan & Congrats Monie on passing your M2!

A collection of some of the best art tutorials I have ever come across.
The whole gap concept is so important to me right now hahaha.
All of this is wonderful, but I want to add something, because the page about being introverted triggered something.
Be extroverted.
Say things. Put yourself out there. Be the person who speaks up, who has the idea, the critique, the point of view. Be loud when it counts. Sing when there’s a pause. Be a personality people recognize and love and want to return to. Be someone memorable. Be someone people want to work with. Talk about what you make and why you make it and ask the questions you’re scared to.
Don’t be scared to.
Be bold. Step forward by knowing what you want and get others to help you. Help them. Smile and laugh. Make the first statement. Inquire about people’s lives. Be someone willing to take a chance and a risk and put yourself out there even when it feels uncomfortable.
I bring this up because all the time on this site I see things about being introverted. Artists especially need to dive into their mind space, to think, and I am the biggest home body this world has ever known. But this needs to be said: Be extroverted, if even just sometimes. It will change things for you. It will make things happen. It will put things in motion. Figure out when to use it if you can’t use it always, and new doors will open.
This is important. People knowing you as much as your art, your writing, can help substantially. People recommend the person they know; people remember the person they laughed with; people come back to the person well-spoken and clear. And the more you force yourself to go to others, to ask questions from them, and learn from them, the richer you are.
So know when to be introverted. But be extroverted, too.
reblogging for Amanda’s amazing addition.
I’m kind of going to have to disagree.. as an introvert.. being extroverted is sort of taxing and an effort and becomes a chore. It’s okay for me SOME of the time, but most of the time I prefer flying solo I guess? I draw my energy from that. I can be extroverted over the interwebs fine, but irl I’m 100% an introvert most of the time.

It’s May 10.
It’s no guarantee that this’ll happen every year, but I always remember May 10s being good days for a certain young lady. And you know what? 2012 had a good May 10.
Also, I’ve discovered the joys of online shopping, earl grey tea on warm days, and drinking at the comfort of your own home.
I won’t touch my art project tonight, because I don’t trust my hands after this 5th…6th? shot of whiskey. Oops.
Looooove y’aaaaalllllll……….

You don’t know how good it feels to be making art again. It’s one of the few things I can do for hours an hours and HOURS on end without getting bored.
Moleskin + black ball point + my favourite Copics = loooove!
And yes. My secret art project goes. :)
I’ve always wanted to dye my hair pink but I’m completely aware of how hipster asinine I’d look with it.

Almost first date jitters, too much pasta, a long walk in the park, the biggest full moon of the year and you…
Made the perfect night. Made my week. Thank you. :)
I'm a simple girl. I like lazy weekends, no-fuss friendships and sketching in my book.
