A to Z Challenge - Day 11 - Jolly Jupiter + Co.

Mercury - About as hot as a planet gets. Best buds with the mighty star and the envy of the other planets.

Venus - Wants to be earth but sadly lacks the atmospheric requirements. May take over the earth's position when we kill it.

Earth - Poor earth. Seen all kinds of abuse from poisoning to burns. He has been raped from all sides. Very depressed planet.

Mars - This ketchup coloured rock has certainly caught the attention of the Earth. He certainly knows how to pull the moves.

Jupiter - Big, happy, jolly. The santa of the solar system.

Saturn - This cool cat certainly loves being different from the others.

Uranus + Neptune - Rarely talked about and always getting mixed up. Uranus has had enough of the bottom jokes.

Pluto - Not only was he the runt of the solar system but he has now been rejected as a planet. Poor thing.

A to z Challenge - Day 10 - Who lives in an Igloo like this?

Who says every igloo has to look like this typical 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom icy abode?

See if you can guess the residents of these pimped out igloos...

A to Z Challenge - Day 9 - Hulk Hogan arriving in style

Hulk Hogan, helicopter... I'm a little worried about my mind sometimes. As I sit down to plan some posts for the A to Z Challenge, of all the H words in the world, THIS is what I come up with!? As with all my posts though, I just go with it. No matter how bizarre it sounds....

A to Z Challenge - Day 7 - GraphicsGale

As a huge fan of digital drawing, I use quite a few programs for my drawings (all of my blog doodles are done on plain ol' paint.net though).

One of my favourites is a great (and free) piece of software called GraphicsGale. This is PERFECT for those who want to dabble in pixel art or animations.

If you want to have a go yourself, I would say a great way to start is by using Pokemon as your models. Even if you are not fan of Pokemon or consider yourself "too old", they are cute and unusual creatures so they are fun to draw. This is exactly what I chose to do and it got me hooked!

It is very simple to use which makes easy for novices and it's a lot of fun to use. If you're like me though and aim for perfection, you could find yourself getting a little frustrated if you miscount the pixels or can't get the shape of something quite right.

This is definitely worth a try if you're considering getting into digital art or you just want something different to do today.

A to z Challenge - Day 6 - Friends with Flamingos

Because "friends with benefits" is so overrated..

A to Z Challenge - Day 5 - Envelope Fetish

Envelope glue tastes good. That's a fact. I cringe when people fold the top bit in rather than licking it.... and then I get tempted to lick it myself. Seems like such a waste.

A to Z Challenge - Day 4 - Dimples

I'm a huge sucker for dimples. Cute cute cute. Have you heard of yawn rape? (awful name, yes) You basically dangerously stick your finger in someone's mouth when they yawn. I'm always tempted to do the same thing with dimples when a person smiles. :)

A to Z Challenge - Day 3 - Cats!

Ok, so this post is a little late! Whoops! *life huh?*

Anyone who knows me, knows I love CATS! I'm not a crazy cat lady, honest. This is a very sensible post, by my standards!!

My cat recently had kittens and they are driving me MENTAL. Got to love them though. I always get snappy happy when I'm around them. Here are a few (very poor quality) pictures....

Introducing: Molly and Corky. Cute but have interesting sleeping positions!

Molly is the pretty one. Her face gets sooo mucky when she feeds.

Corky is the nuisance. Bites everything and loves living on my laptop.

   

A to Z Challenge - Day 2 - Burned Toast

Poor burnt toast. Nobody likes you.

A to Z Challenge - Day 1 - Antibiotics Against Alcoholism.

And so begins the A to Z challenge!

During my boyfriend's battle with the gruesome "ear infection", I've had to put up with a lot. Green goo, shouted conversations and sticking to the pillow in the morning. During his SECOND course of antibiotics, I began to think about those little, innocent-looking pills. What if, they are actually just on a personal quest to reduce alcoholism? Think about it!! The one thing you are told not to do during your course of antibiotics is drink alcohol!

Not only will they sort out gunky ears or clogged up chests, they will ultimately save your livers!

Damn those hippy drugs.
