I adopted a Rhino!

I read some very disturbing news the other day, how Western Black Rhinos are now officially extinct. This made me absolutely sick and I wanted to do something about it. So I googled some wildlife adoption sites and after comparing WWF to this other one called AWF, I opted for AWF. WWF has a reputation for being shady, and I definitely wanted my money to go help a cause, not disappear to nowhere.

So I found out I could adopt an orphaned rhino named Jabari for 35 dollars. I wish I could donate millions of dollars to help animals. I hate the thought of growing up and witnessing animals going extinct, it's so horrifying. And it's real!! This isn't a movie. I can't even imagine what's next.

Regardless of the state of affairs, it felt good to do my teeny tiny part.

April Blues

One day I will return to normal. In the meantime I filled up a sketchbook which I have now set to rest in my bookshelf. Here's a sketch from my now filled-book and my new book which I started recently.

Cutes, fruits and ferns

Why are all hipster girls rail thin?

Self Portrait

Feeling super lousy as of late. I miss the simplicity of using the gym and doing yoga at UCLA, and feeling well in general.
EDIT: In an attempt to be more positive, I'll try to not post so many drawings such as these. I tend to use this blog as a form of therapy, an outlet if you will.

All dressed up...and nowhere to go

ah, just a typical saturday night

random

i was making a christmas card for the tots i babysit and randomly sketched out how i was feeling. can you guess? oh yeah, feeling down of course! i liked the simplicity of it though. helps it was on blue construction paper too. i need a vacation...

ugh

i'm feeling not-so-great lately. this sketch is crappy as far as painting in photoshop goes. i never paint in photoshop. :-\ And the proportions are all off...spare me. i know the feet are weird.

i have a lot on my mind. i just wish something really great would happen in my life soon.

feelin' low

There are a lot of angry squirrels at work. I'm bored and in a lousy mood so I figured, "draw an angry squirrel."
