Visiting My Cousin--and Second Cousin

You know how the child of your cousin is your second-cousin? Well, today I got to meet my newest family member, and he's adorable.

We went to visit my cousin (Codenamed Sheri), and on the way there, my brother (Codenamed JoLT) fell asleep. I was planning on sleeping too, since I got up too early for the time I went to bed and missed my necessary 8-10 hours of beauty sleep. However, glancing at my sibling, the artist in me realized that his face at the time would make a great reference for future drawings. His head was slightly inclined upward, which is normally a pose I have trouble with. I could see the way the eyebrow arched and disappeared around the forehead, and I could see the outline of the cheek. He was sitting still, save for inevitable jerks that came with bumpy car rides. I wouldn't have a chance like this for a while (not without being seen as creepy, anyway).

First Day on the Blog

Hallo. I'm new, I'm hungry, and I'm eating that cheese-and-cracker-stick snack thing. Lessee...I'm starting this blog to get a feel for blogging, I guess, but I also love to draw. Or doodle, depending on how you look at it. So, why not make my blog about something I know about? You know, get my work out there...or something.

You can expect a lot of doodles, and a bunch of random things too. I don't know myself what I may or may not put out there...But I guess we'll find out. One thing that's for certain, though, is that everything I post will be 100% me. To quote most books of fiction, "Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, events [or any other works]...is entirely coincidental." Unless I say otherwise, you can assume I did it.

Aside from that, and the fact that I LOVE to talk, I think that covers everything. I'm looking forward to this.
