The Columbian Mammoth

[elleflies]

I draw when I watch TV shows. I can't help it, just sitting there... watching... it makes me feel unproductive. So I scribble away in my journals whilst camped out in front of my tv or comp. So yes *mumbles* I'm putting my College Degree to good use... or something.

ANYHOW. I mainlined the last two episodes of Reaper as well as the last episodes of Life, Bionic Woman, Men in Trees and Stargate Atlantis (Holy Crap, I hated that ep of SGA) tonight and broke out my Rapidographs and went to town on a travel journal I've been working on.

This will be familiar to regala_electra, but to everyone else this is an absolutely lovely and beautiful and spectacular Columbian Mammoth the Page Museum at the La Brea Tar Pits had set up. I couldn't help but immortalize it in my journal in pen and ink (see, putting the BFA to good use... If I say it enough I may start to believe it.)

But yes, I present my lovely little doodle:



Oh yes, The Boy is on his way back to Afghanistan today. I am quite sad. Blah

Update: MOTHERFUCKING scheduling. They just took me off a trip that had a 28 hour layover in BELIZE and they're sending me to Kuwait instead. Goddamnit.

That is GORGEOUS! Dude, your drawing skills are beyond amazing. As a side note, I went to the La Brea Tar Pits back in '05 on my senior trip! Interesting smell.

Thanks! To be fair, I based it off a photograph but I'm quite pleased with how he came out. I sometimes forget how enjoyable it is to plan out a drawing and then execute it. *happy sigh*

Interesting place! I'll agree with you on the smell for the simple fact that it's tar and asphalt but I've been blessed with a shitty sense of smell so I'll take your word on it :)
