MY MAN • MY MUSE

Just a quick blog post about today, it was my day off, and for once I actually enjoyed it to the fullest! I slept in (sleeping in for me is just a little past 7:00am and a little before 8:00am, naturally I hardly wake up past 9), hanged out with my little nephew Ceelo, and practiced sketching/drawing again. I've always wanted to try and dabble a bit with sketching but never put the time and effort into it so I am trying my hand at it and I love it! I think I've just found a new hobby, and need to buy a sketchbook to keep all my work. So far all the sketches I've drawn are of my boyfriend, he is my biggest inspiration and my muse after all. It's fun to make a drawing out of some of my favorite photographs of him or as I did today, draw him as I see him in my mind: cool, edgy, confident, bad ass, and as he calls himself "the prince of Los Angeles".

starting point of my drawing: 

pencil + ink

adding some color:

LA skyline behind him | 711 Big Gulp filled with Coca-Cola | platform sneakers | bold sunglasses | camera ready

finished product:

THE PRINCE OF LOS ANGELES

I wanted to save the drawing and frame it then surprise Victor with it in a couple of days but I was so happy and excited with how it turned out that I couldn't resist and gave it to him as soon as I saw him. I hope to get better at drawing and hopefully continue to draw him the way that I see him in my head. I'm still planning to buy a frame to frame my mini masterpiece.

Later in the day we went out for hot wings at Bastards Sports Bar in Downey CA, and once the sun went down a bit we took photos of a good friends son for his upcoming bday party. This is such a cute picture of a picture:

I'm so glad I got to enjoy my day off. Fun times surrounded by special people. Now off to bed I go like the grandpa that I am.
