I did this a while back when I first got my watercolor set, and I initially hated it. But the more I look at it, the more I begin to love it. It’s different from anything else I’ve done and I like the movement and disproportionality.
So I started a segment a while back and haven’t continued, but trust me, its been on my mind. Here goes…
On the way to work I have to take a country bohunk road that basically doesn’t list speed limits anywhere. Every time I drive there I am totally amazed by the careless/stupid/ridiculous driving of people. But recently, there is one thing that has stood out to me, not just on the way to work, but in general. PEOPLE WHO FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE TO GO 5MPH OVER TRAIN TRACKS. I have only been over one or two train tracks where this is necessary, and you can see that it is necessary from a mile away! When you are going 50, DO NOT SLOW DOWN TO 15. You are not a bus, state law does not require you to slow down, your tires will not fall off! I drive a honda civic, you drive a SUV, and I am flying over the tracks with no problem. And to take this further, bumps in general. I saw a person in a JEEP today slow down to the speed of a retarted turtle to go into an entranceway with a tiny bump. It’s not even worth calling a bump, actually. I just don’t get it. Can someone explain it to me?

I haven’t been this addicted to a song in a long time.
so yesterday (okay this requires a bit of a backstory. I’m still temping until I find a real job, which at this point seems like it will never happen, but right now I’m temping in a warehouse helping box and ship orders. I like it, I get to listen to music and I like working with my hands) ANYWAYS so this truck pulls in to drop a few skids off (warehouse terminology) and as we’re waiting for him to drive away again, I notice that the back of the truck is covered in dirt and dust. of course, I quickly scratched my finger in swoops and lines across the dirt to create my trademark frog. as it drove away a few minutes later, an awesome feeling came over me. my personal trademark, my frog, something i’ve drawn on everything since high school, is making its first journey. and the thought of people pulling up behind that truck, seeing my frog, and smiling made me very happy.
