Baking a cake while eating leftover beef and broccoli.
All is well in Aviva-land, food-wise. (and really what else matters?)
We gave Eva a bath!
Which was kind of a dick move on our part but also SO CUTE.
(She did not enjoy this experience at aaaall - but I think it should be noted that she didn’t struggle to get out or thrash about, she mainly just… floated there. Giving us that ‘I hate you so much’ look you see. Some bunnies like to swim but mine clearly is not one of them.)
Oh loyal friends of amamak, I hope you liked the look of these mini prints…
Amamak on parade!
Michelle and I’s Christmas ‘card’ with our family of cameras.
This is a totally normal thing to do, right?
SO THIS IS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO LOSE YOUR SHIT OVER SOMETHING THAT DOESN’T MATTER AT ALL
IN A TOTALLY DIGNIFIED WAY OF COURSE
I also went through a phase last year where I printed out Photoshop drawings and touched them up with ink. Makes no sense, right? Yeah, I’m just super logical like that. Original drawing done in February and touch-ups in, September? Probably? Maybe one day I’ll even get around to colouring it.
Posted earlier - and the reference of course is by the great Lou O’Bedlam.
Incidentally, it was that exact photo that Michelle and I ogled and declared we would one day take pictures of that level of awesome right before we went out and took this picture. True story.
So I’m normally no big fan of the cheesy picture of a camera thing, but on the other hand, this is hands down my favourite impossible project shot I’ve ever taken, for a whole bunch of reasons. My everlasting love for the SX-70 (such a handsome camera, am I right?) definitely numbered among them.

(I started this last night so it counts as being drawn during the second week of 2012 shh shhhh it’s all good.)
Mila! Because I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of drawing pretty faces, and she clearly qualifies.
Okay, so I seem to have some sort of aversion to the concept of ‘easing’ back into drawing. My drawing modes are ‘ten minute scribble then I cry because it’s horrible and I assume I can’t draw anymore’, or ‘six hours of neurotic perfectionist attention to detail’ (even when I intended this to only be a rough sketch??). I guess it could be worse?
On an artisty note, while this isn’t quite fully realistically coloured, I consider it a huge personal improvement that I painted it this way in Photoshop and not in grayscale and I didn’t have to edit the fuck out of my original colours to get it like this or anything. I just had a decent palette from the start which is rare for me. Yay!
Gratuitous picture of Michelle and me being big nerds.
Happy Friday people!
