Happy Holidays ~ Drawing for my peeps!

As an artist on many fronts, I decided to make some personalized gifts for my peeps (including me). Please keep in mind I have never taken an art class, so they are far from perfect. Plus I was trying to get all three done before Christmas day, so they were slightly rushed.

I started with a drawing of my favorite non-Twilight persona, Norman Reedus. This was a drawing from The First Boondock Saints movie, when they were sitting in the jail cell after their "Call from God". It was my gift to myself; I love drawing him for some reason. I sent it to his Twitter, but he is much too busy of a guy to notice it or care, I am sure lol!

The second is of our beloved Robert Pattinson, from his Vanity Fair cover pic! A gift to my lovely Sister-in-law @FireCr0tch!

Finally my gift to @sjAimee, her beloved Jasper/Jackson Rathbone.

Ok, I know they are not professional stuff, but what do you expect from someone who dabbles in too many forms of art?

It is official; biased as i am i feel my daughter is incredibly talented. Tonight was one of her "show up mom" moments. I discussed my "doodle incident" in my Gemini Madness post. My wonderfully goofy boss merely rolled his eyes at the drawing he spied on my desk the otherday when i was supposed to be working... Ok well... Oopsey me. I have been distracted. I didn't even get the chance to finish the stinking thing, cause he confiscated it, the bastard!

Anyway, i digress. My "going to be 13 in one week", mini-adult decides she needs to draw him too; no reason mind you... she is just going to do it. So she finds a picture... and older one of him from i have no clue where, and draws away; mumbling teen obscenities as she goes.... I was told not to post it... but whatever, I am going to do it anyway... She tried to steal my pencils too... BRAT!!!

My "Alter-Ego"

In case any of my readers are unaware, Ivy Lane is my pen name only, or my alter-ego, as my wonderful SIL would put it. I was perusing her blog page today, which any Twilight Fan should definitely check out, btw (We Bite Pretty Hard) and love the Twi-Advent calendar she is doing currently. The fun part about my alter-ego is that I had kept her in the dark since I started A Twisted Twilight Tale (my first attempt to entertain her through my guise as a stranger).

I revealed my true self over the Thanksgiving Holiday, and she decided to oust me in her blog the following day, with the humbling title of Lies Make Baby Jesus Cry. I reread it today and got a huge giggle out of it! So I decided to share with ya'll.

Gemini Madness

Sorry I have been out of the loop with my fan fiction as of late, got sucked into the holiday spirit, and along with that my artistic muse has exploded, urging me to throw myself into various projects that must be done before Christmas. Must be the Gemini in me, eh?

Anyway, should have some updates this weekend for my stories. Hope so anyway. Chapter 35 of A Twisted Twilight Tale is half way done, and if i can get my SIL to check out chapter 2 of A Fine Line Between over the holidays while i have her trapped at home with me, maybe you'll see that too! Pagan Paparazzi... well we shall see. As i said above, I have gotten sucked into a bunch of holiday projects and as i fight the Gemini in me who takes on too much at once, I list the things that must be done!

I started an ornament project for my SIL for Christmas, Twilight Themed Ornaments! They cool pretty cool so far, if i can pat myself on the back for a moment. Pictures will be posted of the finalized ornaments once they are complete, if i get a chance.

Started drawing again last weekend; it has been a really long time... say maybe 10 years+ since I picked up the elusive pencils. Had this urge to make my daughter an Edward Cullen drawing for her birthday (the day before Chirstmas... fabulous timing yes?). Anyways, after I drew my first "Edward", shown at the top of this post (yes his nose is AWFUL), I started doodling other "hotties", but since nose drawing and I are NOT friends apparently, all were epic fails! Then i decide my faithful #2s could be useful during some slow time at work.... Bad idea Iv!

Got caught by the boss yesterday doodling Norman Reedus; my boss rolled his eyes at me. Since my followers (which are never here somehow but only on my story pages) are Twilight Maniacs, you may not know who that is. He co-star's as Murphy McManus in both the Boondock Saints Movies. He is quite nice on the eyes, thus my facination in drawing him nowadays. But yesterday made me realize that doing this at work was probably not my best decision ever, lol!

Tweet me @ Ivylane24.

Holiday Hugs to All My Peeples!
