November Project Day 5- The Professional Smile
At all three jobs I currently hold, the skill of smiling is essential. I am paid to smile, to look friendly, (pretty), open, and helpful; usually the goal of selling something. David Foster Wallace describes this as the "Professional Smile" in A Supposedly Fun thing I'll Never Do Again. I find that smiling professionally can diverge into different facial expressions given different situations. Now that I use the Smile most every day at work, I have begun to successfully incorporate it into my personal life! It typically aids in concealing emotion; akin to lying. But with a smile!
Level 1 Smile
Possible phrases that accompany this smile:
"Hi Ladies, how's it going?"
"That looks SO cute on you!"
"Would you like to try some toffee?"
"The show is two hours long with a ten minute intermission."
Level 2 Smile and accompanying phrases:
"That looks SO cute on you!"
"It's okay you forgot to call me back."
"Please silence your cell phones!"
"Made with no preservatives or artificial ingredients. And Gluten Free!"
Level 3 Smile
"That Looks So Cute On You. Please buy the fucking sweater!"
"I had a great time on this date with you!"
"I'd LOVE to hang out with you and your boyfriend!"

November Project Day 3- Earplugs
30 drawings, 30 days! Since I have three part-time jobs, getting one up
each day isn't really possible, hence, I'll be bunching them up like
this. Still counts!

November Project Day 2
At my retail job we play custom mix CDs made for us by various DJs. Of course the songs tend to get stuck in your head, and finally I looked up these lyrics and found the video and female rapper behind it all (I am so 5 months behind, but whatever). Kreayshawn. I kinda dig it:
Drawing for today:
I am expecting the Occupy events to become a consistent theme. I have several many related ideas.
November Project Day One
Last year I attempted to write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days- an undertaking otherwise known as NaNoWriMo, which hopes to get us all off our lazy asses and write the novel we have inside us. I made an honest effort and wrote about 13,000 words, but meandered around with several characters and very little plot idea. I have been writing other stories and sketches this summer and fall, which has been a very useful creative endeavor, but there's part of me that thinks the 'novel I'm meant to write' won't actualize itself until I've got a little more life experience.
But, not wanting to lose out on that NaNoWriMo creative energy, I decided to try my own project this year. I have decided to draw and post a small comic, sketch or character idea EVERY DAY for the month of November. The objectives for this project are:
1) Exercise the creative muscle- use it every day.
2) Practice and develop a technique/ form/ style of illustration or comic drawing. What type of paper, materials, etc, work best for me?
3) Generate ideas for other projects- what I post here does not have to be finished and polished (there won't be time: also a tenet of NaNoWriMo philosophy)
4) Maybe build a small portfolio (maybe?)
5) Prove to myself this is something I can DO! Just get up and doo it.
So, here I begin (one day behind schedule). "It would have been weird if it weren't Halloween."
