madge also brought her needles, broke them in & did some amazing first knitting. she's a frighteningly quick learner. it was a knitting girl gab-fest with me, madge, star, rebecca and rachel. well, rebecca doesn't knit, but will be making cat toys sometime soon with us. and jen was able to drop by and hang out before heading home to feed mrs higgins.

ok. so i told baron baronet that i'd have images up by the end of the month (march). EEEEEP! i am a day short, but i'll think of it as a great way to start off the new month!
many of these sketches are old; hopefully soon i shall be able to show more recent ones. oh, and they're also a little blurry since i don't have a flatbed scanner.

*******************************************************
and here's where i get random with the camera:
i used to work at a seafood restaurant when i first was dating anthony (we lived 2 hours away) and would keep quotes in my little server-money-book-paper-holder thing. his favorite book is 'after many a summer dies the swan' and this was one of my favorite quotes when i read it (that, and the actual use of the word callipygous).
who doesn't like to see other people's fridges?! i've got honey chrysanthemum tea and about 8 blocks of tofu behind it. broccoli, pudding, carrots, romaine lettuce, handmade pickled daikon radish from my dad, about a gallon of soy sauce, seltzer water, orange juice... hm, not that exciting.
on waters & armenia, there is an INCREDIBLE chinese bakery. from top left & clockwise - two ham & scallion buns, 2 bready cupcakes, coconut thing, butter cream bun and another coconut thing in the center (anthony loves coconut). those ham & scallion buns are so delicious - slightly salty and bready and onion-y.... *le sigh*
these are from the asian market near the bakery. that's not red bull, that's "red ice" energy drink. same as red bull?! those 2 drinks on the ends are some sort of citrus drink with floating pulp. eff, i love pulp. pulp makes all drinks better (or so the chinese believe). it's always a plus when you can add something solid to something liquid. like bubble tea/boba drinks!

I too enjoy the pulpy beverages.
Ack! Help me pick a movie for movie night! I am a terrible hostess!
I think you need to start doing 3-4 panels comics too! You have a large cast of charcaters like Charlie Brown and company to draw up! I really enjoyed seeing the sketches, they're really good!
I've been reading Peanuts again and Charles Schulz was something special really. Then there's the more contemporary Jeffrey Brown which at first is off putting because of the initial appearance of the art but actually quite poignant and charnming once you start reading.
Your box of Chinese bakery treats is totally making me drool.
And I heart pulp.
The fridge & the sketchbook: you're really opening up, Kimberlina. I'm drooling over those Chinese bakery treats, too. Wow.
::wiping my chin::
I love your one-line drawing and the bikes! You have been so many places; I think it is swell that you have drawn images from places you were...that is so intimate.
And. I. Had. So. Much. Fun. Thursday. Night.
Eff! I loved it! ;)
THANKS FOR THE ALOHA CDS, TOO! WOW OH WOW! LOOOOOVING THEM BOTH.
bee - i was going to say predator (i have an unhealthy like of this movie), but then i read your blog. true romance, all the way!
fb - i actually did these huge comic book style drawings in college! ... i'm trying to remember what they were about... turtles, i think. nothing special, just things i liked. maybe i'll dig them up.
tits - pulp is the yummiest!
madge - i'm so glad you like the aloha cds! they're quite possibly my favorite band, though i think their new cds aren't quite so wonderfully jazzy experimental. and i think i really like when gfss is at an actual house. much more cozy! oh, and cheaper. ;)
Love seeing your sketches! Many of them are my favs, esp the ones of the jellyfish and of Erica. :-)
Very very nice sketches. Love the foo dog and the name "foo dog" is funny too. I didn't know they were called that!
"foo dog" could be something you say to someone (ya know like in the hip hop world)instead of sayin'" whas up dog?" you could definitely insert "foo" there.
Anyhow, I too love the contents of fridges. and medicine cabinets so if you're taking requests.....
