I've always loved colored pencils

Colored pencils are a classic.  Everyone should have colored pencils available to them.  I have multiple sets and they are never more than a few feet away from me.  I've used them for doodles like this:

Co-authored while watching the summer Olympics with David, who drew the monkey

And for more time consuming doodles like this:

Done for an art project in high school.  We had to visualize song lyrics.  Lucy in the sky with diamonds.

But, I never ever ever imagined that they could be used to do this:

Both taken from here

And, yes, I realize that most of my blog entries are actually born from the blog entries of others.  What can I say.  "For opinions as for material goods: production is dead, long live reproduction."  Just kidding, but Baudrillard said that and it came up in my art history class yesterday.

So, I'm sitting here alone.  All my roommates went to see "the really hot old guy" aka Anderson Cooper.  He's at my school today.  I wasn't interested.  I think I'm going to go check my mailbox (I'm waiting for a necklace) and work on my Life Drawing project.  For those of you who forgot, I have to transfer my image into an art historical image.  I chose a photograph of Frida Kahlo (this entry).  And, in case you were wondering, I will be giving myself the unibrow.  I'll have updates of this project in photo form later tonight.
