Thanks so much for playing you guys, loved reading about your favorite villains and candies or treats :)<br />
<br />
We had an awesome Halloween and got to actually hand out candy this year, we always lived in apartments and never got trick or treaters before.<br />
<br />
Andrei and Cyber took care of greeting the neighborhood kids:<br />

Cyber was a big hit and everybody loved his bat costume. He is just too cute for words and loves people, so he played the perfect part.<br />
<br />
I have a ton of doodles I need to post and I am about to begin a project, have you guys seen doll repaints? It is when people buy off-the shelf toys/dolls/action figures, remove the factory paint and re-paint them to look more like the actual on-screen characters.<br />
<br />
I have been obsessing with the process for the longest time, and decided to buy the dolls for the princesses on the upcoming Disney movie, Frozen and try my hand at the whole thing.<br />
<br />
I will document my process and share it with you guys, hopefully I won't mess them up because they are super cute. Wish me luck!!!<br />

Happy Halloween!!! I hope you guys are having a great day and awesomely spooky night.<br />
Today I decided we could celebrate by hosting a giveaway!!<br />
<br />
I was very lucky and participated on a Disney Blog Meet-Up earlier this month, during the meet-up we were gifted several Disney villain posters, which are pretty nifty. Andrei and I got a set each, so I decided to spread the wealth and give away the extra ones we received.<br />
<br />
There are 4 in total, Scar, Hook, The Evil Queen and Ursula.<br />
<br />
How can you get your mitts on one of these you ask?<br />
<br />
Well, all you have to do is tell me what your favorite Halloween candy is, which villain you love to hate most and why, and I'll pick a winner at random from each villain category!<br />
<br />
I'll wait for everybody to answer on the comments section until Saturday at 7:00 a.m. ET and then announce the winner, since some of you might be out and about all of today and tomorrow I'll be working and out myself.<br />
<br />
And yes I'll ship them anywhere since I know we have international readers and it sucks when you can't participate, so no worries! <br />
<br />

Hope my ghost story didn't freak you out too much and put you in the Halloween spirit... all pun intended LOL</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I have been busy, but always make time to doodle during the week while I have breakfast, I also have been crafting a bunch of stuff. We attended Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party one last time and Andrei went as Dipper from Gravity Falls... if you haven't seen this show, it is pretty much the only thing I watch on the Disney Channel apart from Phineas and Ferb, that is, I watch it because I love it, not because of work lol.</div>

<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
It has a lot of cool humor, the animation is much better than some of the shows out there now, the story is a lot of fun and has a ton of suspense in it. It is on its very first season, so it is still a bit obscure even with Disney Cast Members, the kids and teens in the park recognized us inmediately, everybody else had no idea what we were LOL, same happened the first year we went in as Agent P, nobody knew what we were, and then the next year, everybody was a platypus or Phineas and Ferb.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
I like to stay avant garde with my costumes, so it pleases me. I went as Mabel, I haven't downloaded my photos yet and I generally hate to be in them, but I'll try to be brave and add them later.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
Here is the book prop I made for Andrei, I made it the same day of the party using a blank sketchbook, acrylics and mod podge. I will probably make two more and a tutorial.</div>

And now, randomness that I have been up to. I work close to the Magic Kingdom, every day I am the lucky girl that goes under the toll plaza at Magic Kingdom on her way home. I love it, and I don't think I'll ever get tired of it. I always have to fight myself from going straight into the park, truly I would always be in there if it were up to me alone, but I still have to come home, have dinner, walk my cute doggy and take care of my freelance before going to bed... still, I do go in there at least once a week. </div>

I also finished my Nightmare before Christmas wreath, it is inspired by the ones in Disneyland and made with a pre-bought black wreath I found at Target this year, Christmas sprigs of holly and berries from JoAnns, Model Magic, acrylics and mod podge for the skull and finally the ribbon is all made with duck tape. </div>

Drawing Saudadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01291343551623385769noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5756262226942895865.post-64141385237172267732013-10-11T16:28:00.001-04:002013-10-11T16:28:20.701-04:00It is October, so this should be fun to share.Don't worry, I am drawing and crafting and running around having fun, but today I remembered something that happened while in college and thought it was the perfect type of story to share during this time of year:<br /><br />
The professors warned me about the fine arts building once… it was a
vague warning that didn’t go past a: “You don’t want to be here alone at
night”, said in slightly hurried and furtive tone.<br /><br />I dismissed
it, I was just on my second year of college, working two jobs and with a
full load of classes, I didn’t have the time nor patience for silly
ghost stories, overall with finals looming and about 5 large and
extremely complex art pieces left to finish.<br /><br />If I had to make a
nest out of discarded canvases, discarded cloth and sponges, so help me I
would and I would sleep an hour or so in it to finish my projects.<br /><br />Juvenile silly superstitions and stories weren’t going to even bother me a bit.<br /><br />And
so, after my second job I walked back into the building, hours after
the sun had set and classes had ended. I had my very own key, (the only
student with one at the time), and so I made sure the doors were locked,
put on my headphones and started to work on silk screen prints…<br /><br />One
hour into things I decided to take a short break, the prints needed to
dry between color passes, and I was starting to get sore feet.<br /><br />I
stopped my MP3 player and heard voices coming from the hallway. I was
happy, finally some company! Maybe one or two of my classmates had come
by to work.<br /><br />I waited, the voices came closer to the room I was
in, I could hear footsteps… they were by the door, I could hear them
clear as day, but then… silence…<br /><br />Odd… I stood up and walked on over to say hi. I pushed the door open, and found no-one there.<br /><br />Then
I remembered I had locked the doors, maybe it was a professor? I walked
around the building, checked the doors, all still locked, nobody was
there at all.<br /><br />I felt so silly, I shrugged and went back to work,
before I could start again my phone rang, my husband wanted to come over
and keep me company, he would be there shortly with food. So I went
ahead and unlocked a back door.<br /><br />I cheered up and pushed through more work.<br /><br />Another hour passed, I was messing with water and chemicals, so my player sat turned off on a table.<br />
<br />
I heard the main door open… I didn’t give it much thought, I was on a roll with my prints and expecting company after all. <br /><br />I started to clean my hands as I heard someone coming up the main staircase, I was hungry and looking forward to dinner.<br />
<br />
The footsteps got all the way to the door, the doorknob made the sound of it turning, and then… nothing.<br />
<br />
Had my husband turned around? Did he forget something in the car?<br />
<br />
I went over to check, but again, nothing, and then I remembered the main door was still locked.<br />
<br />
Maybe I was too tired and hungry and hearing what I wanted to hear.
Still, I went about quietly and sneaking about to make sure nobody was
in the building and trying to play a prank on me.<br />
<br />
Nothing, and all doors were still locked, save the back one I had unlocked before.<br />
<br />
I shook it off and turned around to go back upstairs… but as I opened
the door I heard someone running up the stairs, then stop and shuffle
in the first landing.<br />
<br />
"HAHA! Very funny! I got you now!" I said triumphantly<br />
<br />
I bolted up the stairs, but nobody was there and the door to the second floor never flew open to let anyone out.<br />
<br />
"OK… that was a bit weird…" I said to myself.<br />
<br />
And then, the voices started again. Clear as day, two people were
having a conversation down the hallway and walking away casually.<br />
<br />
I peeked through the small window in the door, but the hallway was empty. I opened the door, the sound stopped again.<br />
<br />
I looked out the windows, walked out onto the connector between
buildings outside, not a soul was walking around, I could only hear the
wind and a distant car passing by in the middle of the night.<br />
<br />
There had to be an explanation, I tried to forget it, but was careful
walking back to the print making room, just in case a stranger had
weaseled his way into the building.<br />
<br />
I turned all the lights on on the hallways as I went and sat down for a second, listening.<br />
<br />
Nothing… but then… laughter… someone was laughing somewhere, then a cough, and walking again.<br />
<br />
I looked at my phone and wondered where my husband had gone off to and why wasn’t he there yet.<br />
Things were getting rather creepy, I didn’t feel safe.<br />
<br />
And suddenly, the sound of the main door slammed open and shut, and a
set of footsteps furiously ran up the main stair case, the stair case
door flung open violently, the footsteps ran towards my door and I
stopped breathing for several seconds.<br />
<br />
BAM!! Something slammed against the door, and at the same time, the back door opened.<br />
<br />
I gasped, I couldn’t move from my chair, the door knob rattled, then stopped, and suddenly it flew open.<br />
<br />
"Hi!" said my husband walking in casually.<br />
"Holy freaking cow man! You scared the poop out of me!"<br />
"Huh? What? Why?" he said half laughing at me.<br />
"Was the main
door open? Why did you run up the staircase? Did you smack yourself
against the door? What the hell man?! It is too late at night for that!"
I barked.<br />
"Wow… what?! I came through the back door and just walked in… what are you talking about?" he answered in an annoyed tone.<br />
<br />
We argued for a bit, I explained to him what been happening all
night, he laughed at me, we went around and checked all the doors again
and inspected the place. All the doors had been locked the whole time,
nobody was around.<br />
<br />
I worked for several more hours, we talked, played music and I tried
to stop being freaked out about it, but I never worked there alone at
night again.<br />
<br />
On time to time classmates would try and stay there alone, but they
had the same experience, some would hear screaming and crying, if we had
to stay late we would come in as a group and play loud music, because
you could still hear voices and footsteps even if you weren’t alone.<br />

I'm sick, somehow I caught a cold, the cold turned into bronchitis and well, I am trying to get better asap because I have a ten mile race next week... look, I thought it was a 10K race when I signed up... </div>

Nooooope.</div>

No. I am going to start it and if I end up being swept, so be it LOL</div>

Anyway, here are a bunch of doodles I worked on for the past 2 or so weeks.</div>

I normally doodle at the cafe in the very early morning hours... and sometimes I fall asleep right in the middle of drawing, but I keep on trying:</div>

<br />
Now, since I last updated you guys I am happy to report that... I have kept up my doodling! Yay!<br />
<br />
Also... I got a job! Double Yay!!!<br />
<br />
And the job is with Disney... Triple Yay!!!<br />
<br />
I had been working as a freelancer for a bit, but freelancing can be stressful and jobs can take a while to trickle in, so I kept on looking for a steady gig. I applied to everything I saw, got some nibbles, but the jobs were 1 to 2 hours away from my home, and well, Andrei and I STILL share the same ride, so some things just can't be done.<br />
<br />
Finally, one day I was contacted by Disney for a nice little design gig (nothing fancy, but I like it), and many interviews, background checks, rain/job dances, sleepless nights later, I landed the gig.<br />
<br />
I have been a Cast Member (the official Disney term for employees), for nearly a month now, and I adjusted to the company easily... now my routine, still has some kinks...<br />
<br />
Let me preface this by saying: I AM a morning person... truly.<br />
<br />
I begin my day at 5, in theory....<br />
<br />
In theory I take the dog out at 5:15.<br />
<br />
In theory I come back and start the getting ready song and dance by 5:45...<br />
<br />
In theory I am ready to leave by 6:15<br />
<br />
And then... I wait at a coffee shop close by my office from nearly 7 until around 8, when I go in to work...<br />
<br />
Why? Because Andrei gets in to work an hour earlier than I do... so I spend an hour of my day like so:<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ah, such grace, such poise... That's me there... yes... I am asleep in the middle of a deserted coffee shop, clutching a latte, pretending to watch silly youtube videos, plopped on a pool of my own drool... and yes, if you look to your right top corner, that's one of the baristas, they all call me "Andrei"... because that's the name the system pops up on the loyalty point card, and I have been both too socially awkward and asleep to even try and correct it... so from 7:00 in the morning until 8:00 I go by Andrei and I am a narcoleptic.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
So, in theory things are working out like that at the beginning of the day, but sometimes I go to bed at 2:00 a.m., sometimes I don't get up until 5:45, sometimes the dog decides doing his bizz is not as urgent as chasing bunnies who... really do NOT care if they get eaten by larger animals, because they just don't run away... which of course makes me late, and then the baristas ask me why am I late?<br />
<br />
And I just giggle in a deranged way because... I don't even get to clock in for another hour after that, but I feel like I am late to work when I am actually way early.<br />
<br />
Anyway, you wanna know about my job?<br />
<br />
My job is pretty cool. I get to browse image libraries filled with some of my favorite things, I get to play with photos and make things look awesome, and I get some pretty sweet perks... like getting into the parks for free, which is going to save me some money, hey, I have a problem, I know, but you have to see Magic Kingdom in the fall, it is so pretty it makes you want to cry... while eating a caramel apple and drinking a pumpkin spice latte as fireworks shoot up in the night sky.<br />
<br />
True story.<br />
<br />
By the time I get off work I am either on "LETS GO TO THE PARK DAMMIT!!!" mode or "IM SO HUNGRY! I NEEDS FOODZ NAO!" mode...<br />
<br />
either way, my evening is gone and by the time I make it downstairs it goes like so:<br />

<br />
You can guess I have been putting little to none will power into choosing Room A... also I don't sleep pretty, sometimes I wake up and I look like I am part of a midnight fight club and I just sleep walk my way into matches... and apparently I loose a LOT.<br />
<br />
So THAT's what's been going on with me, that and a LOT of social interaction, outings, cool park time and running around to the point that I have destroyed two set of capris I wore all summer and a set of sneakers...<br />
<br />
Anyway, I am back and ready to start updating more often.<br />
<br />
Let's make it a date then, I'll see you guys here every Monday and Friday!<br />
<br />
Now I am off to sleep because I don't want to fall on a pastry and have the baristas laugh at me again tomorrow.Drawing Saudadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01291343551623385769noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5756262226942895865.post-89148985225489873222013-08-01T23:30:00.000-04:002013-08-02T00:22:58.172-04:00EpilogueWell, here it is, the day after everything is done.<br />
<br />
I
have been meaning to sit down, put down in words something meaningful,
something useful, something that might help someone who, like me, has
found themselves in a rather steep and rocky path due to circumstances
they couldn't foresee nor change... like always I found myself rambling
and making little sense, but here goes nothing:<br />
<div>
</div>
<div>
When I took my first steps down this road, I was just
really trying to stand back up... I didn't even see myself walking at
all, just being able to stand again was hard enough, the temptation to
stay down and let the world keep on spinning without having to deal with
it was incredibly strong.</div>
<div>
And yet... I didn't just give up. I struggled, sure, I
demanded to have the blinds of my hospital room closed at all times, I
wanted to shut the world up, but the world wormed itself back in.<br />
<br />
I was lucky.</div>
<div>
Andrei stayed there and became my reason to get back up
again. I made it about someone else, I made it all about him. I didn't
want to see him upset, so I willed myself into rejoining my own life and
its rather shitty conditions.</div>
<div>
Things didn't get easy with time... or at least not as
fast as I would have liked. My mantra became: "Give it time, just...
give it time"... but time was being a gigantic pain in the rear and it
worked oh, so very slowly that I swear at times my sanity was so
precariously perched atop my head, that it felt as if a carelessly
placed sigh, never mind a remark, could make it fly away and never come
back.</div>
<div>
But I kept on trying... sometimes out of pure force of
habit, I painstakingly put one darned foot in front of the other while
cursing everything and sometimes everyone internally.</div>
<div>
I
put on a brave face and tried not to cry in front of others when they
were, oh so happy about their own fortunes and happy days involving
pregnancy/birth announcements, etc.</div>
<div>
Somewhere along the line I had a talk with myself and
decided to never EVER let myself become a bitter pill of a woman and try
my best to get a hold of my own emotions... and believe you me it
wasn't/isn't freaking easy.</div>
<div>
When I felt down I tried different ways to remedy things,
I counted all the reasons why, even though my lot in life sucked at the
moment, it was a much better lot to have than someone in a much worse
situation.</div>
<div>
I had nearly died, sure, but I didn't</div>
<div>
I had
had the worst luck with nurses and doctors, but at least I had been
treated in a first world country, not a forgotten shack in a shanty town
in horrible conditions somewhere.</div>
<div>
I had family<br />
I had friends</div>
<div>
I had someone
that loved me so much he didn't care if I woke him up every freaking
single night when my panic attacks got to be too much and he still held
me lovingly and tried his best to figure out a wife that was on the
verge of loosing her mind.</div>
<div>
I was alive</div>
<div>
Sometimes this trick helped...
sometimes it just felt flat... because there isn't a sure fire way to
heal a broken heart/soul/mind, there is only hope, a hope that clings to
life with a freakish determination... a hope that is more of a survival
instinct, so primal, that it feels more like an electrical surge,
something that keeps your synapses going, your heart pumping, your lungs
drawing air in... something that doesn't care how broken you are, it is
going to hang in there no matter what.</div>
<div>
As long as that current flows through you, as long as you
can't just will yourself dead... there is a glimmer of light, no matter
how faint, that manages to cut through the muck that envelopes you at
your worst.</div>
<div>
And so I used that motivation to keep on going, to
function, to feel human again, and for a very long time... I faked it
until I made it, I slowly started caring whether it was sunny out or
raining... I cared if I made it from one day to another, and I started
tricking myself into actually looking forward to things.</div>
<div>
At first they were very small things... like seeing
Andrei walk through the door after work. A TV show that aired the next
day, a movie that would come up that weekend, a trip that we would take a
month later, a holiday that I liked that would come around in some
months.</div>
<div>
Finally one day I realized I was acting kind of normal... kind of.</div>
<div>
I
challenged myself more, I failed, I tried again, I failed, and well, I
failed a lot, but I kept trying. I beat myself up so much, downright
abuse, physical, verbal, I bullied myself to no end, calling me terrible
things, telling me awful stuff, blaming me for anything and
everything... yes, even the freaking weather was my own fault.</div>
<div>
I hated myself... and I will be very sincere... sometimes
I still do... a LOT... because living with yourself is hard enough as
it is, but living with yourself when things have gone awfully wrong can
be nearly impossible.</div>
<div>
But when you are alive... well... it just has to be done,
and it is all about being able to deal with yourself or self-destruct
and take whoever else along down with you, because when you decide to
end it all, you are not only ending yourself, you are ripping apart
someone's life, overall if there is someone there that cares for you,
because loosing someone is extremely painful and changes people forever,
and not for the better.</div>
<div>
I didn't want to harm anybody else... so it was down to dealing with myself, or nothing.</div>
<div>
So I dealt... I invented coping mechanisms to try and
build a better sense of self from zero. At first it started as a joke...
when someone would say something good about me, I would come back with
something silly:</div>
<div>
"Saudade, the cookies you baked were so good!"</div>
<div>
"Yes, because I am freaking awesome!"</div>
<div>
I never
really mean it when I say I'm "awesome"... it is just something silly
that helps process something positive that I can use to not hate myself
so much... and well, the way I say it, it is obvious I am joking,
really, my self-confidence is never past the "I think... I kinda...
can... sort of... not mess this up? Maybe?" level. But... this helps.</div>
<div>
I tried to push myself to do things, things I once cared about.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Then this project came along, and I was hit by the most
incredible wave of wonderful support and encouragement I could ever
imagine.</div>
<div>
I am not exaggerating... I am pretty sure,
that, if it weren't for you, and I do mean YOU, the one reading this
right now, yes YOU, I wouldn't have made it past drawing 15 and I
probably would be at my wits end.</div>
<div>
You see... I was so focused on dealing with things on my
own, that I had forgotten there were people out there, people that maybe
actually cared how I felt, people that maybe, somehow knew what it was
like to walk in my shoes, and other people that, even though had no idea
of how I felt, still could encourage me to get better.</div>
<div>
I had been alone inside my head for so long... I had
forgotten that sometimes putting things out there, talking things out
could be all I needed...</div>
<div>
And so, there it was... </div>
<div>
I have described my struggle to a friend before as feeling trapped
inside a small room with no windows, no doors, a depressing little room I
couldn't escape from... and I kept trying to find a way out, knocking
on walls, crying myself silly, until I finally found the door...
cleverly hidden behind wallpaper... stupid door! Stupid wallpaper!</div>
<div>
The thing had been there all along... I just... couldn't see it.</div>
<div>
You
guys helped me figure it out. Your comments, your e-mails, every single
word helped me heal. For that... I can't ever, never ever thank you all
enough.</div>
<div>
So, here it is, my nugget of wisdom, it isn't very big,
nor something new, but it is my wish that it will find someone who needs
it and help, even in the slightest way, start making their world better
again:</div>
<div>
Don't let go. Do not ever let go. And if you feel like
you are about to let go... reach out, reach out to someone, anyone, find
someone, yes, even someone you have never met, but knows what you are
going through, and tell them you need to be heard.</div>
<div>
Google them, tweet them, write a message on their wall,
tumblr, send a carrier pigeon, call them, knock on their door, tap their
shoulder, whatever it is you need to do, because just like you are
hurting, we have been hurt... and we will get through this together.
People can't read minds, for better or worse, some are running through
life and can't see when someone else is down and needs a hand to get
back up. Don't be afraid, don't shrink away, because in the end, a small
sentence such as: "I need help" can be the start of a chain of events
that will change your life in ways you have never imagined.<br />
<br />
And ultimately... once you believe you have hit bottom and the world
has cast you aside in the deepest darkest hole that has ever existed...
there is no way to go, but up.

Well... here we are, 365 days, 365 doodles (and paintings and change).<br /><br />A year has passed, and I can't quite believe it. My life has changed so much in just mere months, and it continues to change from one week to another.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
We moved towns, quit jobs, found jobs, a new home... practically a new life. I started to draw again for fun and even painted.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
My drawing hand is getting better and better by the day and I can feel the confidence in my lines returning.<br /><br />I now can draw for over an hour without breaks, paint and somehow I can feel the nerves in my hand getting used to the idea that I am not going to stop.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
A year ago I thought I was alone, that nobody but a couple of people would care if I never created anything ever again, but you all proved me wrong, you cheered for me, a total stranger, you followed along and believed in me.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
That alone is incredible and wonderful.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
This year is just the beginning, because I intend on keeping this blog going, I have projects, ideas, doodles, paintings and even sculptures I have started to plan or execute, and you are all invited along for the ride.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Thank you so much for being there for me, for reading, commenting, playing along. Thanks for extending a hand of friendship, thanks for caring.<br /><br />Today I decided on updating a doodle, the doodle that seems to be associated with this blog the most, the doodle of a forlorn lady and a kitten.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I never explained the story behind it, the one sentence that kept going through my head while I drew it was: "No news yet?".</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
The lady was a magic user, the cat her familiar bringing nothing to report... but I heard you all, and your messages touched me, your words propelled me.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I have an epilogue post for tomorrow, and my painting will keep on going.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
So, thanks for the past 365 days, keep on visiting, because this project is now officially on track for another year, I just will be updating twice a week instead of daily, because I need a small break here and there lol.</div>

I'm catching a cold... well, I'm <i>trying</i> not to catch it, but it is chasing me around!</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Life is taking me for a bit of a thrill abd suspense drive at the moment and it has making it very difficult to concentrate in anything not work related... I can't share much now because I don't want to jinx things, but I'm at the edge of my seat, so much so, that I have taken to pay Assassins Creed (just beat 2), in order to keep my brain occupied abd not obsessing.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
I am not the best at patience, so you can imagine, waiting for news is torture abd a half for me.</div>

Nobody panic, even though I have been tied up with work, I still find time to doodle, just haven't had as much time to post LOL.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Today's doodles are random things, a queen who is perfectly capable of defending her own castle, dress and all, a lady reading the weather and hoping the storm approaching isn't too bad, and a girl writing a letter.<br />

Lately I have been working very hard on some work-related projects. I can't quite tell yet if my hard work is paying off, I can only venture to guess I'll find out sometime in the next couple of weeks.<br />
<br />
Since I left my full-time job I have kept busy and still bringing in some income, so that's good, but I would like something more steady that brings revenue in on a regular basis.<br />
<br />
Hopefully I have played my cards right and I'll get an opportunity like that.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
As a designer you have to market yourself and make your work visible and desirable to employers, there are many ways to go about it and it all depends on the kind of company you want to work with.<br />
<br />
In my case I try to make sure all my resumes and business cards look great and I leave little things behind after meetings/interviews so the potential client/employer can remember me.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
So today I am sharing a silly cubecraft I revamped for such an ocassion, and yes, it is a mini me! I normally personalize it for an specific company/position by changing her clothes, giving her a hat and add a message.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I am also included a quick doodle I made while trying to figure a costume design. </div>

<br />
I can't show you all of the stuff I have been working on, partly because some aren't finished, and partly because others haven't gone to print yet, but since they all involve a lot of work and an initial sketch, the do count toward my doodle-a-day challenge.<br />
<br />
So here they are, two sneak peaks at a couple of projects, one is paid work, the other is for self-promotion (when you are a graphic designer, self-promotion is key).<br />

Weather has been... meh... or winter in Europe kind of meh, just without the decency of it being cold.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
After 13 years living in FL, I have gotten used to the heat, the humidity... the cray and the sun... in Spain I could go most of the winter without much sun, sure I was super depressed by the time January rolled around, but now... give me 5 days without blue skies and I get all emo.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
And I really have no reason for it, work is going great, painting is back on track, animals are all happy, Andrei is doing good as well... I'm just addicted to the darned sun... </div>
<div dir="ltr">
I guess I hope it is sunny over the weekend, maybe I should hit a water park or go to the beach then, recharge like Superman BWAHAHAHA...</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Also I'm bummed because I can't go to Comic con and a bunch of my friends are... one day... one day...</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Anyway, I doodled and painted the background for the next painting in the series of dapper animals. Tomorrow I'll start laying the figure down.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
I'm adding a photo of Cyber being a goof as a bonus.</div>
