Dino Day with the Boyfriend

Had a Dino drawing day with my boyfriend at the Natural History Museum's new Dinosaur Hall. It's great to be dating a fellow artist (he's super talented. Check out Chrisables.blogspot). Publishing today's doodles - mostly with my new brush pen- whilst watching Jurassic Park trilogy.

Double Wattled Cassowary

More sketches of one of my favorite animals at the zoo- a double-wattled cassowary. It's like a living dino! So sweet. May color and update later.

Zoo Day!

Superbowl Sunday, but who needs football? Went to the Zoo with Trevor, Danielle, and Gina. After a satisfying morning at work, and an even more satisfying lunch of sushi, the zoo trip rounded it all out for a pretty perfect day. Despite the ridiculous traffic entering the damn place that is. I thought more people would be having bbqs or something on Superbowl Sunday.

I was pretty productive, and I feel I've improved since my Dynamic Sketching days. Gotta do this more often.

La Brea Tar Pits

Here are the results of my little trip to the Page Museum at the La Brea Tar Pits.
Factoid: My friend Omar tells me that La Brea means tar pit... so basically what we've got is a department of redundancy department thing here. Tar Pit Tar Pits.
Anyway, drawings:

What is it?

I can't remember what this was.... some sort of extinct bird I think.
I drew it during a lecture in my Science and Social Change class one summer. "scanned" it with my iPhone because I'm lazy like that.
