Self-Portrait #365

I had grand ideas of making the last one the best one but a lazy day on the couch killed that ambition and frankly after 365 of these damn things it was just too much pressure. So instead of awesome I decided to uses two of my three main ways of documenting this self-portrait project by using my handy camera and Photobooth. I originally got the 365 self-portrait idea from this blog. I didn't think that I would finish but today is the day. I have to say that I did like having a task to do everyday. I also learned that I always have bags under my eyes and now I'm researching bag remedies. I would recommend this project to someone having a hard time blogging regularly. It has definitely gotten me in the habit and helped me form regular followers who must be as glad for me to move on from this project as I am. It also has been a great way to track memories. There are particular photos that I remember so distinctly, when I look at them, what I was going through at that moment. I'm hoping to continue to blog daily either posting a photo, video, something! You may see my face pop up from time to time. Sorry. Thanks for playin'.

This morning I found my first kinky grey hair. Yikes.

Waiting to be seated for dinner. I love these shoes. Never knew I
was such a girl.

Perfect evening.

Self-Portrait #361

This is what I look like when I'm sitting at my computer at night in
my pajamas waiting for the Nyquil to kick in. My immune system has
decided to take a vacation leaving me defenseless to every sneeze that
erupts near me. It's driving me mad. I can't wait until spring.

I think I captured frustrated concentration in this one while in my Adobe Illustrator class. This is the
rough draft of my logo project. I'm trying to turn the font that Bad
Veins uses into a logo. I want to slowly get away from the original
font but keep the same feeling. Right now I think the flowers look
like cotton. I like cotton.

Ikea daydream. This didn't post last night. We went to Ikea to eat
meatballs and visit our new kitchen and bathroom.

Lazy.

Lost, slippers, blanket. Check.

In my Adobe Illustrator class which was one of my goals for the year.
Today was mostly lecture but hopefully I'll have some fun work to show
in the next few weeks. Note to self: Brush hair before leaving
house. Yikes!

I traded my snow boots for my chucks. Yay warmer days!

Morning.

Self-Portrait #350

I set a timer for 10 minutes for this drawing. I need to loosen up and time limits are a good way to do that.

Self-Portrait #349

I don't feel like I've been challenging myself creatively these days. I think this self-portrait is evidence of that. I need to get into the habit of looking at art more. I need to spend more time flushing out all of the ideas that float around in my head that are never fully realized. Maybe that will be the focus of my next challenge after this self-portrait thing is done. I need to be looking more. I also need to get back into my crafty craftyness.

Glasses day. Sinus pressure. Tired of winter. Tired of sick. Ready
for spring.
