Today's drawing, one on my Aunt's cats, by request.

Here is Narnia.

Today's drawing.
Not a fan.
I said I was rusty, and this proves it.
Lady Death. Here it is.

This was requested by my beautiful sister, so who am I to say no?
It is the Cheshire Cat from the very cool video game Alice: Madness Returns.

I don't like it. At all. The drawing that is, I found the game really interesting. But I hope my suster like it, because I am giving it to her.

Tattoo Woman.
I might update later if I play around with colouring her...
Or I might not (if I fail so dismally that I can not bare to share!).





Ok, here she is after I did some digital colouring. I kinda like it.




Any and all feedback welcome!

There's actually a back story to this one...

I've been meaning to draw this unicorn again for about 10 years, ever since someone stole the art book I had drawn it in from my highschool art teacher's cupboard after it was marked...
So there might end up being a few Davinci and Michelangelo sketches this year.

Just a quick and easy one today, as the 2 year old is very interested in drawing, and I didn't get around to doing anything before she woke up, and decided not to put off drawing until she went down for a nap (because honestly, it might not happen!).

Alright, putting my money where my mouth is.
Here is the first of what I plan to be 366 drawings, one a day for the year.
It is neither big, nor grand, but it is a start. And it is, I hope, an achievable New Year's resolution. And I am ever so dreadfully rusty.
But here it is, my darling daughter's feet while she slept on the first morning of the new year.



It occurs to me that if I am going to upload these images, I should really invest in a scanner, instead of taking photos on my phone... Maybe later!

Discretion is the better part of what now?

Rant time. You have been warned.
Prompted by a comment on this photo (via Emma Kwasnica).

"Sex sells..but motherhood and breastfeeding in public is embarrassing to the bystander ? Woman should not flaunt it but just be discreet about it and all should be okay !"

So I ask, what shall I do to be discreet?

Seriously now. What would your definition be?


If I am at a restaurant, and my newborn needs to nurse ahead of schedual, how would I go about fulfilling their needs without offending you?


Many people would not notice if a simply raised my singlet, lowered my shirt and nursed. The only part of my body exposed would rather rapidly be in my child's mouth. Would this be acceptable?

all of that oh so offensive... Oh wait...

No? A blanket perhaps? My baby sweats profusely when under a blanket. It is clearly not comfortable for her, but I could settle for a light muslin wrap I suppose, if your comfort is to be more important than my child's...

or I could invest in this charming shower curtain...

Still not good enough for some. A move to the toilet is in order. But wait, is that hygeinic? Why should my infant have to eat her lunch in a toilet if nobody else does?

even if it is a really expensive toilet...

The car you say. Thats fine... In winter (for me anyway... Thank you Australia). In summer it is really not. But hey, the car has windows on all sides, what am I an exhibitionist or something?

yeah, this? Not safe.

I should just go home, and sit in a bedroom until my child weans... You know, so that I can be discreet to everyone's liking.

well Miranda Kerr does make it look appealing...

Or, I can nurse my child, and the people who don't like it can look away? Nah, that doesn't sound right, does it?
