More Christmas Penny Pinching
My college friends and I hung out at Eugene‘s condo this weekend. It had been months since I last saw some of them — Tin! Nas! Albert! — so I was really excited. We went swimming, had dinner at Pancake House, played PS2 (they played; I just randomly pressed buttons), (re)watched Golden Boy, drank, slept a little, then woke up and had leftover alcohol with our breakfast. Good times. Check out the photos from Chrissa‘s camera.
Of course there was gift giving, too. Like I mentioned in a previous post, I didn’t have much money to spend on gifts this year, so I did a lot of DIYing. This time I drew cartoon alter egos of the girls, had them printed, and found matching desktop frames for each drawing:
Check out my illustration portfolio for the bigger versions.
They loved it! Seeing their reactions to the cartoons got me feeling all warm and fuzzy inside. The guys pretend-pouted and asked why I didn’t do the same for them, so I mock-complained about how hard they were to draw because they all looked alike, hehe. I did try, but unfortunately I can’t draw boys as well as I can girls. I got them uber-geeky squeeze flashlights instead. Maybe next year.
Happy holidays, everyone! And thanks to Rose for being extra cool 
How did I miss this entry that has MY NAME in it?!
Yay!
You’re welcome. I -do- enjoy being cool.
That’s an excellent gift. If I was more of an artist, I would totally draw pictures of my friends. It’s so fun to look at how othere people ‘see’ you.
Love the bunny rabbit one
Bunny Phin is my favorite out of the bunch, too!
Those are absolutely adorable. I seriously envy your illustrations. They are just too cute!
And I agree, boys are harder to draw for some reason. Whenever I draw them, they end up looking way too feminine.
Glad you had fun with your friends!
but Chrissa, you have F1 flag background~~!!! *_*
I love love love my cartoon! Thanks Nikki!
My drawing has absolutely no text….
But it still rocks.
Thank you, dear!!
Oh how adorable! Did you colour those with photoshop? It’s so cool to have yourself made into a cartoon
Oh and merry Christmas!! Hope you enjoy the holidays this year!
Thanks, Kat! Yep, I colored them with Photoshop
Happy holidays to you and your family!
hi nikki! do you have a deviant art account already? you might want to post your drawings there ^_^ (though, your site seems to be pretty popular as it is already.)
