Boyfriend Criteria

I ran across Katie Turner's illustration today on Design*Sponge and just totally fell in love. Her whimsical little illustrations instantly improve my mood, and make me pine for a cute boy to kiss, haha! Plus, I have a weak spot for redheads (so much so that I actually had to become one...) so that illustration of the boy on the subway just killed me! Swoon!

Stuff like this makes me want to make my own art again. Making bad art for clients on a daily basis kind of saps the ol' creative juices. I really should force myself to draw more though, I really enjoy it. I hope the interior of my Winnebago becomes plastered with lovely artworks on my journeys. I used to do little sketches a lot more back in college, and I've gotten out of the habit of just drawing stuff all the time. Maybe if I just spent 30 minutes a day drawing... perhaps I'll make that a rule on the Winne. 30 minutes a day w/ pencil in hand. Do it.

I love seeing different artist's work, and on that note I'd love to see more of your own sketches.

I really liked that fake tattoo you drew on your arm a while back! I was inspired and did my own picture from that... { Wrapt Inspiration

Oh my goodness, too adorable. #4 is a no for me, and #3 is optional, but other than that, I completely agree with the list. Thanks for sharing!

The 30 minutes a day rule is a great idea. :) I'd love to do that with my writing.

Justice Pirate said...

aww that's sweet. I don't know anyone who ever had a thing for redhead boys. My brothers are redheads, and one of them didn't ever have many girlfriends and the other had LOADS. these are cute drawings!!! I was hoping I'd have redhead boys. but I love them and their blonde hair! hehe. I always had a thing for blonde guys as a teen and married a brunette. hehe.

Libby,

You may want to read this link and then reconsider that tattoo preference.

Quoting that link:

“The study found that people who had received a tattoo in a commercial tattoo parlor were nine times more likely to be infected with hepatitis C than people who did not have a tattoo…

Most importantly, we found that commercially acquired tattoos accounted for more than twice as many hepatitis C infections as injection-drug use”


Many of your peers will die young for the sake of their (really unattractive) “art”.

SBVOR said...

Oops!

I see that Katie expressed the preference for a tattoo, not you.

My bad.
