My first week of class is nearly done… getting adjusted is tricky, sorry.
I was going to post some classwork I did today in Illustration II, but… it wasn’t actually that constructive.
Since I’m behind, there’s this weird thing I doodled on my new sketchbook. Whenever I get a new sketchbook, the first thing I do is a drawing on the cover. This time it’s Miss Pelvishat and her magical meat machine, with some kid in his butterfly bootie pjs.
The material was this weird rough canvassy shit that was impossible to draw on :C So it looks awful. I bought the sketchbook at my school’s store — it’s Cachet, which is my preferred brand, but like I said it’s weird and canvassy and not smooth and boardy like I like, plus the color is kind of bizarre and there’s this funky awkward magnetic foldy-over thing.
But, then the day after I went to Utrecht and they had my favorite type! With the smooth boardy surface and nice brown color and black elastic band thing. I thought it had been discontinued. So what I’m trying to say is that this particular sketchbook — I won’t be using it until I fill up my new favorite type. Which still needs a cover doodle. So expect that in the next few days.
As for my today thing-a-day, it’s super cheap. Excuse me. Like I said I was going to put up classwork, but I’d rather do this, since I’m proud of it in a dorky way.
I was going to go work at the library today when I realized that I might suddenly mid-shift have a need for painkillers. So I decided to take some ibuprofen tablets with me, just in case, so that I wouldn’t have to leave or cause a fuss. I didn’t want to carry them loose in my pocket, though. I looked all over for a plastic bag, but I couldn’t find one.
So I really quickly threw together a little sachet made of a Kleenex tissue and some masking tape. Then just to make it awesome, I drew a little Akira pill on it! Here it is.
Lame, I know, but I love Akira so much. Now the next time I need to take ibuprofen, I can do it in a really dramatic post-apocalyptic way! I’m totally going to rip open the tissue and pop them in my mouth and go “THEY’RE JUST LIKE CANDYYY” like Tetsuo does. Aha, okay, I’m done.

EWWWWW. THE MEAT MACHINE IS GROSS.
[but in a really lovely way]
The compositions and scratchyness(?) of the drawing on that cover looks like a hand-me-down edition of Srega Nona (but more eastern berlin, secret meanings-like). I really enjoyed this!
