Up To My Elbows

I am back at my Grandmother's for a few days before I fly across country to Washington State. She has no Internet so I'm catching snatches now and again at a public library. It is good to escape everyone once in awhile.
Currently I am:
Chasing turtles across the street to get them to safety.
Watching The Golden Voyage of Sinbad for Harryhausen's Dynarama effects.
Remembering fields and places I might not visit again...
Drawing in my notebook.

Aw, what a cute turtle!

Fannah said...

Your doodles are still the best. And a turtle? A real-life turtle in the street, seriously? We'd be lucky here if we'd see a red ant in stead of a normal black one ;)

Cute outfits too :)

lucille said...

OMG I love these image ! You look so great ! The last iamge is beautiful!!!

Tahda said...

The campus is beautiful - to be sure - but just think of all the beautiful places & adventures still to come.

Post-Graduation was a very exciting, strange and nerve-filled time (for me anyway) but the possibilities are endless!

PS: I'm so glad you saved the turtle ;)such a good samaritan!

Kate said...

i love your doodles!

Niki said...

Dude, I need to commission you for a blog header or something. I just love it when you post your doodles!

And thank you for saving that turtle! My mom has 7 turtles... and one of them is always trying to make a break for it! HAHA

Manja said...

Oooooh.....turtles!!!

It must be so sad to leave college not knowing whether you will return. I am already dreading the day I will leave...and it is coming closer and closer - fast...

Your doodles are so great! It is so much fun doing something creative. I have just recently started writing poems again :)

I'm not sure- but this
outfit of yours here just may go
with these artistic shoesPS: I broke my promise, not that you care.
PPS: don't judge. I'm also into boxing.

Annie said...

dapper kid said...

Awww turtles!!! All I get around here is foxes and mice/rats :( And yay, that's my favourite Sinbad movie by far. I remember being scared when I was little of the part where the Kali statue comes to life and he has to fight it. That last dress is so pretty, I love the pale blue :) Ooh and speaking of notebooks, my project will be starting up soon, I'm just figuring out the rules ;)

Lauren said...

I love the photo of your feet and the turtle, and that drawing from your notebook is so perfectly quirky!

It's so sweet of you to help the turtles. It's such a pretty field. I think I'm going to miss seeing pictures of you in it.

Your drawing is so fun and cute! They're like lying in a field like you with their hair swept up around them. Super sweet. Hope the turtles are okay.

Enjoy your visit with your grandmother :) This drawing is by far one of my favorites! Drawing used to be one of my favorite pastimes, but lately I've fallen out of the habit.
