Hopefully a new habit
I got this new sketchbook that has really terrible grainy and smudgy paper. What to do with it? Yesterday I was reminded once again of the importance of life drawing (by the eminent E.K. Weaver). So I did a 3 x 5 minutes session today with Banlieue 13 Ultimatum (the film with the most stupid ending ever, but lots of good poses and nice looking people) …
It is not easy! And Leïto should definitely use less hair products.
As you can see in the bad anatomy I was only getting warmed up, and I actually wanted to do 6 x 5 minutes, but I forgot to log off Skype during the assigned half hour. V`(oo)´V
Maybe it was divine intervention, because thanks to that I could help Ilan with his “stuck inside of Paris with no credit on your phone” drama.
DRIFTWOOD CH. 8 P. 2 + TITLE PAGE
Since apparently I didn’t mention it yet …
Click the picture to go read page 2!
And you can see the title page here. I was debating whether to put it first or after page 1 or 2, but in the end I decided to put it first.

It feels a bit like cheating, but since I have counted the title pages previously, we have now:
33 down, 54 to go. V`(oo)´V
New fabric design: МОЛОКО
A fabric with those classic Soviet sweetened condensed milk cans. It’s the best thing to eat with pancakes.
This is the first Spoonflower fabric I have made that has really good blue colours.
Here you can order it on Spoonflower – the colours don’t look so good on their site, but they print pretty much like in the photo above (depending on screen calibration). Order a test swatch first if you want to be sure.
Here is the original can on which I based the design (the light blue is a bit off in this photo):
It’s a bit rusty because it has been standing for many years in my bathroom, holding q-tips.
By the way, this classic 1960’s Soviet design is not copyright or trademark protected, and is freely replicated by hundreds of companies in many different countries that make this type of condensed milk. Basically it wouldn’t be condensed milk if the can didn’t have this design. :o)
