Back to Capistrano

made, not finished… with good reason (sort of).

Unfinished Pencil sketch of arches in the Capistrano Mission of California

Laaaast summer when I went back home to California I spent an afternoon in the Capistrano Mission sketching some of its adobe architecture. Meticulous as I am, I couldn’t finish before I started getting a sunburn so had to take a picture for a later sitting in front of the computer screen instead of in the sunshine. Not long after uploading the image to my laptop, the damn thing jumped off of my desk and took my harddrive with it. Unfortunately, I lost everything I didn’t back up… which included most things, especially my model to finish this sketch.

Luckily -

Last week when I went back to California, I went back to the Mission and rectified the situation so (maybe) I can do just that.

I’ve been pretty unmotivated in the everything-department lately, but now that I’m fresh from the Western air I plan on getting back-on-track with my doodles!

 

… and maybe some other stuff, too.

When I was singing Mr. Rogers’ theme song to myself earlier today (heck yes I was), I didn’t realize I was not only singing for the lovely first day of Spring we are having here in the ‘hood, but also the birthday of the man himself! In fact, today would have been his 85th!

So Happy Birthday to Mr. Rogers and Happy Spring to everyone else.

I hope you make a snappy new day!

Enjoy the warmer days.

Audrey As Promised

made as Holly Golightly

Ink stick figure drawing of Aurdrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly in a long black dress with black gloves, a tiars and a long cigarette

Audrey Hepburn was always one of my favorite women, and Breakfast At Tiffany’s is definitely in my top ten where favorite movies are concerned.

A few nights after this Golightly-success I tried making a few other looks from the movie (pink dress, cat mask), but they didn’t work out as planned. The bun-work Holly sported was pretty intricate for each outfit and I just couldn’t get it in the mindset I was in (one beer and one tequila shot inebriation). It just didn’t work out.

It is very good, however, that Audrey Hepburn worked out for the world. She represents the type of underdog story that doesn’t really happen now-a-days what with instant fame shows, reality television, youtube, yada yada, etc., and so on.

Audrey Hepburn was not only important in film, but also in activism for children around the world through UNICEF. Pretty sweet.

And for dessert she would eat a Granny Smith.

 

But in all seriousness, I do hope that there are young girls out there that know who Audrey Hepburn is and can look up to her as a positive role model. With all there is out there to get starry-eyed over it’s worrying how the young-folk are interpreting all this garbage into how they should actually act in real life.

Pissing on boardwalks and flipping the bird through slurs of shit-storms isn’t exactly graceful.

Let’s all be more graceful.
