My apologies if you’re not a hockey fan, but Vancouver Canucks just advanced to the Stanley Cup finals and I will be completely useless to you for the next few weeks while I draw mostly only hockey related stuff 
Whooo!!!

Long Time No See
posted in dailydoodle vckythots, by vcky
Hi everyone! I’ve been traveling, and it’s been great, and I’m back now.
Traveling is one of those things that make you think, and by the time you’re done thinking you’re just stunned at how worldly you are and how nobody else understands you anymore because you’re just so deep because of your experiences. No, that didn’t happen to me. Traveling made me realize how much I like to draw, and how much I missed my stxx, and how I should really give them names so it don’t sound like I’m talking about something in my pants.
Names!
Was thinking of This and That, or Eighteen and Nineteen, or Chris and Hemsworth, or Bat and Man. Or Monroe and Moroccan.
… Or not.
See you soon. Insert awkwardly flirtatious emoticon here.
ps go canucks go.

Other Layers of Doing The Art Thing.
posted in vckythots, by vckyWorking backwards is sometimes the easier thing to do, but sometimes it just doesn’t make sense. You can un-puzzle a puzzle, thats a ton of fun but it doesn’t make sense unless you’re Destructo/wo/man. I made that up.
Trying to fuddleduddle with my website has me wanting to regress, and instead of giving you all a State!Of!The!Art! site where you can ooh and aww, I kinda want-
remember Geocities? I used to have a page, and an Angelfire page, and a Gurlpages page, and I had that running neko-cat marquee. Don’t worry I wont bring that back, just deciding to wallow in my desperation.
I’m working backwards in art, too. I never went to artschool unless you count the time I was 7 years old and went to “art school” where my job was to desecrate a forest worth of chartpaper with smellyfelts. I’m going to artschool soon, to finally learn the tools of my trade. 4 years of university taught me that note-taking isn’t neaRLY as pretty as doodling, but it’s not an art basis I can fall back on. I’m learning everything as I go and the humility is heartbreaking (Sorry, what’s ‘vector’ ?)
Face palm desk corner sulk.
Plus 2 resilience.
So in the midst of all this regression sulking, I decided to try finger painting again. After all, I never formally learned how. The gunky under my nails spurns would-be-suitors but it was fun while the regression-sulk lasted
batstxx. oh I fingerpainted OVER ink. I’m not that good with my stubbys.

INTRODUCING SUPER EMO
posted in vckythots, by vckyIt’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s-
I’d ask u all to give him a big welcome to the world of the imaginary, but that’s okay. He’s practicing the art of Caring Less about the inhabitants of a world that will never, ever understand him.
I’m going to be at the Urban Glamour Market Thursday (today), from 7-10. If you’re in Vancouver, swing by for some local artistry and be the first to pick up some super emo merchandise featuring Super Emo.
I know, my friend was all like, “Isn’t Super Emo kinda like Major Buzzkill?” and I was like, “Please go away.”
I’m hoping to feature my buttons at this market, there’ll be a small bucket of hand-drawn ones and one-offs that I can try to sell as a “gotta collect them all!!!!” marketing frenzy!
That may have worked too, if only my spending-the-whole-evening-trying-to-draw-Super-Emo hadn’t indeed made me identify with my sullen creation.
Everything sucks.

Bilbo Baggins Wisdom
posted in news&announcements vckythots, by vckyRemember he said he felt like a bit of butter spread over too much bread? I feel like that with the number of INTERNETY things I’ve signed up with.
I started using instagram lately. I feel like I’m cheating professional photography, by taking crappy pictures with my cell phone and then putting a predetermined filter on it. The account is mostly pictures of stuff I draw with pen/paper, pages and pages of love letters to Spike, and my dog doing indecent things. So that’s one more thing you can follow me on, if you miss your daily dose of chickenscratch.

Small Update
posted in news&announcements, by vckyThanks for sticking it out, everyone! The overhaul is having overhaulic issues, I’m gettin’ there!
In the meantime, nothing else is going on.
Also, I have this beer gut that I’ve been trying to work off. And I just cringed badly when I typed “trying”, because “trying” is just me poking it 20 times every hour on the hour.
None of that has any relevance.
Look at this mug I have! It’s one of those MAKE YOUR OWN OVERPRICED STARBUCKS TUMBLER things, and because I’ve been poking my stomach for the last hour and trying to make irrelevant things sound important – I wrote out what I could fit of the Lorem Ipsum Dolor Sit Amet……….
And I like instagram.

Found one of my lone Valentines Day cards at the store, next to this fuzzy rendering of a sexually transmitted disease.
cus it’s a bittersweeeeet, symphonyyyy thiiis lliiiiiiife
jokes, jokes. I salvaged the card from it’s STD haven and stuck it beside a bunch of on-sale Justin Bieber calendars.
In other news, I’ve been fiddling around with the site, trying to get it to look different and have a place where the BUY STUFF button actually goes somewhere I’ll continue to post blog posts as time goes, but the daily doodle has taken a hit. As usual I’m on twitter at @vckystxx , but most of my inconsequential ramblings are at @ivcky (uhm, follow at your own discretion), and reachable at vcky@vckystxx.com
Ah’ll be back.

And I Do the Hokey Pokey
posted in news&announcements vckythots, by vcky
I’m trying to get a much needed new revamp done to the site, and it’s a small but steep learning curve! Sorry about the lack of consistency over the next few weeks as I get this sorted out, but 2011′s looking to be pretty snazzy!
So my iPhone camera’s been doing this weird thing where it shows right-side up on the phone and the second I upload it or email it somewhere, it is sideways. Like the rain.

And some stuff about the selling and Good Comebacks.
posted in news&announcements vckythots, by vckyUGHHHHHHHHH I HAVE A MASSIVE STOMACH ACHE.
Here’s my three Valentines Day card designs! So far they’re only on sale at the UBC Bookstore.
Some girl stepped on my heel today while I was walking into a building. My entire shoe came off, and when I turned around she said, “HEY, watch it!” and gave me a dirty stare. I was standing there on one leg trying not to teeter over and I was LIVID. I turned beet red and snarled at her retreating figure-
“WHAT!”
O’course, she was long gone by then and wearing headphones so it didn’t mean nothing. But I felt all right.
Ugh. I should have- I should just-
1. action.
PUNCH HER IN THE FACE
2. reaction.
PUNCH HER IN THE SHOULDER
3. slow reaction.
PUNCH HER IN THE BACK
4. satisfaction.
5. obliteration.
6. take vacation.
7. long duration.
8. standing ovation.
end.
