1. It was my brother's birthday last Saturday ^_^!! So I want to say:
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOUSUKE-SAN
Yes I call him by his Japanese name ^_^. It was a lovely day even though the weather report said it was going to rain. But the sun was shining. We had presents, pie and music. My dad even did a last minute BBQ. So it was all good! I'm happy he liked the anime books I got him!
2. A few weeks ago I was asked by a fellow blogger, Millieunet. Milieunet is a blog about the environment, events that take place around this and news that is written about this. So last Wednesday (September 9th) was the Day of Sustainability. I made a quick illustration and it was posted on the blog. Yeey!! There is a translator button on the blog, if you are interested to read it. I made the following illustration:
Sooo what do you think? I incorporated wind energy, solarpanels as part of the illustration to show that you can use natural energies to provide energy. Also planting lots of...well green to help the world to get a bit greener haha.3. I made a birthday card for my three year old neighbor. Cute little guy haha. He's floating towards adulthood...well something like that ^_^.
Oh I scanned it a bit weird. Sorry about that!4. I made a another mug!! This time the design is a bit different. Still with chibi's though. Check out it below! My sister, I call her KiKi, she makes bracelets and she made one in the colors of the Italian flag. I think it gives a nice extra detail as a present.
Oh newsflash! I got an 'order' from a friend to design an illustration for two mugs that she wants to give as a part of her wedding present. How cool is this ^_^!
5. Oh I updated the post of my little book review! I posted a picture...of me and the book haha. Nothing fancy or anything. I wanted to post a picture of the book cover and then I changed my mind and posted one of me and the book. So check it out...here. <-- Yes click there.
6. I finished the Bond girl card. Remember the post I did? I choose to go with the chibi girls. This is the final result:
Loved by Bond. No.9 Tadaa! I'm quite pleased with the end result. When I painted the colors, I wasn't quite pleased with it. I don't know why and this got me quite annoyed. I just put it away for a few days. And I just glued to a piece a carton and added the flowers (which are actually for scrapbooking) and then when I looked at it, I was quite happy. Ms. Bond already received the card and she was really happy with it! Which made me even more happy haha. So in the end it turned out all good!
7. This is not really an update, more like a warning haha. The next post will be quite long...
So that's it! Stay tuned for other sketches, doodles, illustrations and so on!!
Ciao!
Delightful little drawings, TJ! Something quite charming about their style-- they sort of radiate an inner-cheer.
ReplyDeleteLady Jenn! How nice of you to stroll by! Thank you so much for your lovely comment. An inner-cheer, I like that! They do tell their own story once they are drawn ^_^. PS: I just saw that I made a typo on my last comment on your blog...Lady Jean instead of Lady Jenn, so sorry!
ReplyDeleteHey TJ -
ReplyDeleteMy Broter's birthday is today... I wonder what his Japanese name would be... Andrew.... Actually, my other brother Danny, I used to call Danielson - after the Karate Kid.... I think that is Japanese right... Whatever - I am being random....
Love your sweet illustrations!!!! They have such great detail!!!
Thanks for the compliments on my blog - still getting used to the haircut - it has good days and bad... I cut almost 10 inches... thats why I call it extreme!.... Anyway.... tick tock tick tock - time is getting closer to our birthdays - sometime before then send me your address... I'll send you a little surprise... and yeah... I know you live way over yonder! :) - Take Care!!! Kim

ReplyDeleteTHE GUYS
@ Soggy Dog - HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your brother!! Hope he has a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteHmm I started calling my brother Tousuke, because we watched an anime together and the main character behaved a lot like my little brother. His name was Sasuke. And one time I mixed up and called him Tousuke and well it sticked haha.
And thank you for your lovely comments on my blog as well! I really appreciate it! 10 inches!! Man that is a lot! Wow! Did you just decide one day to cut it? But yeah good and bad days...tell me about it! It's always a bad day when you hope to be a good day..ehm..something like that ^_^
Being random is totally fine! You really don't want to know how I start talking about a topic from school and I end up talking about ducks who terrorize my street...true story. I have Ducks who terrorize my street.
You are really too sweet! And you beat me to it! I was already pondering what to give you for your birthday hahaha. Sure I'll give you my address...but I need yours in return hehehe ^_^!! Time is passing by really quickly indeed! Only a few weeks! Ciao!! Xoxo

You ´re not going to believe me... (How can I be so absent-minded) I forgot to add you to know when you post, I thought I did it but NO, so I started thinking: how strange, this girl is getting lazy... he, he.
ReplyDeleteI am like that I can desperate people sometimes. But now Its fixed.
Are you writting 3 novels, HOW.
I think you could be illustrator in the same way you do all these things. I like the card for the neighbour and the bond girl... everything.
Big Hug
@ Encaracolada: Hello! You didn't add me :|...how? why? I mean, I'm shocked...hehehe just kidding ^_^!! Thank you so much for following!!! Now you will stay up to date with all my random updates and stories.
ReplyDeleteWhahaha I wish I was lazy! I have too much going through my mind at the moment! But man, an illustrator, I'm really considering this...all those lovely comments I get, they really inspire me and it got me wondering "Could I...". We shall see what the future brings!
So I just keep sketching and drawing, developing skills. I'm going to make a portfolio as well. Oeh! If you have books or tips...please let me know ^_^. *hugs* Xoxo!!
