late valentine's day ( + other adventures)

I'd like to wish everyone a (belated) happy valentine's day! I hope everyone had a nice day, I know I did. I have been very busy lately with exams, work, and general laziness, hence the lack of updates. I think I'm going to start making it a goal to do at least one post a week from now on.


The 11th was my boyfriend's birthday, and I spent Friday-Sunday with him. On Friday I went with him to go get his new tattoo, which was an exciting experience for me. As much as I love tattoos, I don't have any of my own (yet) and I had ever actually seen the process. He got a tattoo of Mucalinda (The Naga King), on his right thigh. So far he only has the outline, but I can't wait for him to go back and get the color done. It looks fantastic! We spent the rest of the weekend with his family. We did some drawing together one night (both he and his mother are wonderful artists, they totally show me up.) I did a drawing of a spanish moon moth. I did it from memory, so the wing shape and colors are very inaccurate, but I kinda of like the result. I used colored pencils and a brown fine tip sharpie. I might sell prints later?


 The piece is up on my deviantART if anyone is interested.

I recently bought some large envelope labels to make stickers with! So far I've managed to make one for a sketchbook cover. It's a drawing of my bunny, Rubee. She's my precious little angel! I'll be making more soon, maybe ones for sale?

I recently received an invitation from an awesome friend to nabyn, and I'm slowly navigating my way around the site. It's a lot different from deviantART. If you have an account there, mine is deerbunny.

I have also bee wanting to do some street art? It seems everywhere I go I have a urge to draw on something.   I purchased a paint marker that I've been keeping handy, and I've been doodling on class desks, but I aspire to do something on a much larger scale. I'm honestly very nervous about buying any spray paint or to actually draw on let's say, a dumpster or a wall or anything. Maybe I'll get there. I've been trying to come up with a 'tag' name for fun. My school notebooks are filled with me trying to perfect a graffiti-style signature. I'm being silly, I know, but it's a feeling I can't shake.

Today I was off from both work and school, so I got to spend some time relaxing, then went shopping with my sister after she got off of school. I made some frivolous purchases, but the items were on sale so I couldn't resist! I snagged an awesome picture frame with beetles on it, and a beautiful incense stand that looks like a piece of wood with a silver snail atop it (as a gift for me and my boyfriend to share). Needless to say I am happy with both purchases.

I kind of want to redecorate my room a bit. Nothing drastic or anything. I'd just like to get some new curtains, a new blanket, add/remove things from the walls, and buy some christmas lights or lanterns or garland to hang from the ceiling. I'd also like to buy some plants for my room as well.

Right now I'm downloading some movies to watch with my boyfriend this week. Is it weird that I don't own my favorite movie on DVD? I feel like that is something most people own. Well I think that concludes this entry. Have a nice weekend, everyone!
