Sad Corliss
I really need to get back into the habit of drawing more often. Back in high school, I spent 6 hours a week doing art because I was in Visual Arts Conservatory. Some days it sucked pretty hard, but most days it was like therapy. It’d be nice to set aside a few hours everyday [...]

I hate it when I have writing ideas and I’m motivated to write, but it’s nighttime and all I want to do is sleep. Being a morning person means that by 10PM, I have been awake for 16 hours. Vampire, I ain’t. Now if only my brain would comply and give me ideas first thing [...]

Allons-y!
What I Did On My Summer Holidays, a doodle-essay by S. Jae-Jones This is pretty much my dream come true. Some day the Doctor will show up in his TARDIS and whisk me, Bear, and White-Harp away on adventures across time and space. Also, I needed a new desktop background, so I drew one.

Some Truly Amazing Hair
I’ve been working on a drawing commission for a friend of mine this weekend, and usually I have something else on the telly to focus on while I work and of course, I’ve been watching Doctor Who Confidential. And honestly, I had to jot off this quick doodle because seriously…David Tennant’s hair is truly mesmerizing.
