another old doodle from 3 years ago.
as usual not paying attention in one of the many redundant classes at artschool.
experimenting a character style i call The Cheekbone Theory.

its ma homies, originally part of a group of 5 who called ourselves Hwa Hee*.
after a forced split (boo to school and their “only in groups of max 3″ rules), we girls decided to stick together and emerged as the Hwa Hee Dollies**!

oh in other news…
IM LOVIN’ THE FREEDOM OF UNEMPLOYMENT

—
* Hwa Hee means “happy” in hokkien (a chinese dialect)
**note to all: no association to the Dim Sum Dollies by any chance.

HELLO I’M ALIVE I’M ALIVE
AND I DYED MY HAIR
(and for cheap too which is always nice)

i havent been drawing much but ive been busy with some odd jobs here & there to put more pennies in my pocket to be squandered on beautiful shoes that i will fall out of love with once they land in my hands (shh dont tell my boy, who already thinks i spend a ridiculous amount of moneys to torture my feet but well, the men just dont get it, do they?)

once i clear my obligatory duties, i promise to come to my senses and post more art!

in the meanwhile you can admire a drawing i did 5 years ago when i was young, stupid and emo:

well, it turned out that guy was a colossal asshole. i had super shit luck with boys.

january is such a depressing month.

and now i need to eat before i die of hunger…

but ’til very soon folks! I WONT BE A DILETTANTE.

a surreptitious relationship. fingers with beautifully varnished nails clench the blunt nails of the other. the Proud personality in this duo gets hushed by the Cautious other half with Cautious’s anxious furtive glances. i feel sorry for all my homosexual friends leading their muted lives… and this is a little drawing to illustrate so.

this is matt (he normally looks more kiampa than that i promise! hehe) and that is me (circa 2008 when i had my bangs and long side ponytail)

That Snobby Harvard Cousin

i was kind of like that as a child (except i didnt get into harvard…but i might as well have considering my cousins’ grades!) and i thought everyone else might have a relative like that too. right?

Soothing the Seething

im more of the Seething whilst my friends taken on the Soothing role. my, she looks evil. anger is not a pretty face.

more sketchbook scans that are less worthy of a mention (click ‘em to fullview!)

scans from my sketchbook today… the two most important people in my life! (excluding family of course)

the ladies in CLOSER
yea… i am pretty much obsessed with the film. (sorry julia, i kind of botched up your face!)
roberts and portman, and law and owen. stellar cast! and even more beautiful dialogue:

Dan: Didn’t fancy my sandwiches?
Alice: Don’t eat fish.
Dan: Why not?
Alice: Fish piss in the sea.
Dan: So do children.
Alice: Don’t eat children either.

Anna: Why are you dressed?
Larry: Because I think you may be about to leave me and I didn’t want to be wearing a dressing gown.

Alice: It’s a lie. It’s a bunch of sad strangers photographed beautifully, and… all the glittering assholes who appreciate art say it’s beautiful ’cause that’s what they wanna see. But the people in the photos are sad, and alone… But the pictures make the world seem beautiful, so… the exhibition is reassuring which makes it a lie, and everyone loves a big fat lie.

The Blue Haired Girl

and a random blue haired girl.

holy shit its almost dawn i have to go sleep now. xx

nasty ladies…

GoodByeFucker: A good riddance deserved a good breakup letter.

Playing Punk : Adolescence is the nightmare of many a parent.

sharp nosed sneering lipped razorblade cheekbones heavy lidded giraffe necked bushy eyebrows bony fingers carving collarbones saggy eyebags… i love it!!!

i am growing tired of my clean lineart (henceforth labeling them “the PORCELAIN INNOCENTS series”)

so now expect more traditional, dirty, nitty gritty pencil drawings of stuckup older-looking haggardly scrawny bitches in a new series of mine called “the PRUDE BITCHES series”… a la my previous post and also available for your viewing pleasure here:

The Wary and The Thief pencil on paper

the nice one is warning her naughty twin not to steal.

.

A Very Brief Stranger's Glance pencil on paper

everyone likes to look at a gorgeous lady
but what happens when the beautiful observed
suddenly
turns
around
and catches your eye?

…any thoughts and warnings and screams of protest/encouragement? i like these newer faces for their uppityness than the melancholic stares of the previous series’s… no idea if i will continue them longterm but for now theyre mighty fun to draw! somehow i can live with getting carbon under my nails.

"There's Always A Surlier Sibling"
pencils and pastels on a paperblanks pad.

"All The Duke's Daughters"
pencils only, on paperblanks pad.
there’s the unconventional one,
the scowling one,
the prudent one,
and the tamest but plainest one.

CLICK FOR LARGERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR~~

my monkey face and dirty fingers and "There's Always A Surlier Sibling" drawing. and my stubby pinky.

uh, dont be fooled – the drawing pad is pretty small actually – about the size of my palm and fingers if you were to draw a square around them. also, my stubby left pinky (the result of a childhood accident) makes her debut! :D dont worry it doesnt look too abnormal considering my other normal pinky is also astonishingly small/short – and i’ve had friends not notice my ‘disability’ for years.

i am totally looking forward to today: removing the stitches in my gums (i had all 4 of my wisdom teeth plucked out last monday), meeting a very dear old friend for chitchat and coffee, and MOST IMPORTANTLY I CAN EAT NOW. YAYAYAYAY BRING IT ONNN. i miss the bacons THE MOST.

i take a moment here to say RIP michael jackson.

…

also, i might have a flappy gum due to premature falling out of a stitch. flapflapflap. dave says doesnt wana kiss me now cos i taunted him by saying i have TWO TONGUES NOW. hahahahahhah… oh BLEAH. does anyone know what will happen to it? will it fall out? will the dentist cut it off? (OUCH) will i permanently have a mini tongue? thats pretty cool actually.
