I second that. I know why I'm awake, Coke! That and I've been sick of late, it tends to wake me up at odd hours. This silhouette kind of looks like my grandfather, the bits of stubble and eyebrow hair looks awesome.

The little bit of sleepless eye is perfect. I KNOW what that looks like, I'm an expert at sleepless.

Pantera (Oct 27, 2007)

Great drawing, you need to stay awake late more often :)

emmamommalag (Oct 28, 2007)

Thanks, Klox, Dave and Helena. For me it was coffee.. ran out of decaf and had to drink the real stuff. Big mistake.

That's the 'scout' leaf.. it's the one that looks innocent and pretty coming down. Once it safely lands it signals it's hordes to descend on the yard in huge piles that you have to clean up and rake..it's a dangerous little fellow..

OMG I love how cute & simple this is.

emmamommalag (Oct 25, 2007)

This is really cute, Lori. It would be a good illustration for a children's story.

Sweetcell (Oct 27, 2007)

I love the hair.

emmamommalag (Oct 19, 2007)

This is wonderful, Lori. I love those eyes. Hope you'll be feeling a lot better soon.

PS (Oct 19, 2007)

Making the background lighter was a good idea, it works alot better. This is really nice work for one and a half hours. I'd like to see what you could do if you spent 5 or so hours on something. Hopefully you'll feel better soon so you can try somthing like that.

lori (Oct 19, 2007)

thanks you guys.. I don't know what to do to feel better - the other day a supposed Lyme specialist told me he doesn't think I have Lyme disease, this is after being told for 6 months by my regular dr. that I do and having positive test results 3 times and taking tons of antibiotics that made me nauseous every day.. so I don't know what to think anymore, just know I always hurt all over - Thinking about trying a chiropractor.
PS- I can't imagine spending 5 hours on a drawing, never have the whole time I've used 2draw, my patience just wears too thin. Usually after 1 version, I never even wanna go back to it. I would like to be able to though.

davincipoppalag (Oct 12, 2007)

Especially with noses like those!

emmamommalag (Oct 12, 2007)

April 25th

PolythenePam (Oct 10, 2007)

ANZAC day.

The ANZACs were the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps who fought in WWI in the battle of Gallipoli - April 25th was the day they landed. The holiday is there to commemorate the New Zealand and Australian soliders who fought, and those who died. I don't know about Australia, but in New Zealand (being the tiny country that it is) just about everyone has a connection to someone who fought (my grandfather and great uncle were both involved).
Every year there are dawn parades all over the country, where veterans gather (there aren't many left these days) and wreaths are laid, and the Last Post is played on the bugel just as the sun rises. They're not big, flashy ceremonies...

Red poppies were the only flowers that ever grew on battle fields, because they thrived in the loose soil disturbed by the bombs. While the flowers bloomed, the field became a sea of red, and not just from the poppies. Poppies are also the traditional flower of rememberance.
So every year on ANZAC day people put red poppies on the graves of their ancestors who died in the war, and the Returned Services Association sells little felt poppy pins on the street for a donation.

Oh, and there is a commemorative biscuit too, the Anzac biscuit, a golden syrupy rolled oaty thing, sort of chewy and crunchy at the same time, and it's delicious.
