Check it out! My attempt to be a real artist! I’m trying to live up to my mental stereotype of what a starving artist should be, with some exceptions. I’m a girl, so I can’t grow a scrungy beard. I’m employed, so I won’t technically be “starving”. And I won’t be constantly covered in paint or look like I haven’t slept in a week because I spend all my time working feverishly in my studio. That’s something that comes later… when I have a studio.
What I will do is wear really pretentious looking scarves, hang out in coffee shops, and listen to really obscure music (do Monty Python songs on Pandora count?). I’m also working on my “far away look” so people know I’m thinking deep and creative thoughts. Thoughts that in no way relate to the Avengers. They’re deep thoughts, I’m telling you! About… art… and philosophy… and the ephemeral beauty of nature. Right.
Anyway, the plan is to start posting some sketches soon, which will count as my “portfolio”. This would be way more organized if I built a legit website instead of using a free blog, but hey, at least now I get to use a format where I can include snarky comments whenever I want.
Oh, and I do want to make the point that it’s called “shoppe” because I am in fact selling my portraiture services. I was going to call my site “sketchy” but decided I didn’t want to force my family and friends to google that term, just in case some of the results aren’t what they were aiming for.
In summary, I now declare myself a professional artist person. If you like the sketches, feel free to pay me and I’d love to do one for you!

You are quite amusing- I love the way you write! Also Avengers! All thoughts relating to the Avengers are totally deep. I resent your implied insult to the depth of MY thoughts!

As someone who initiated weeks worth of discussion with you profiling the personality types of each Avenger, I am the last person to judge such a thing. We are very deep and thoughtful people.

I am so loving your blog, your art, your writing, and you! That goes for both of you.
