Cleaned up Can Can girl
I decided to do another pass of my Can Can girl sketch from Paris, and clean her up a little!
From a cemetary statue
Walked up to Piazze Michelangelo in Florence the other day and visited the church and graveyard of San Miniato. I saw this cool statue on one of the tombs that had this winged hand on her head- sort of inspired this quick (and tired!) doodle!
When in Rome
I had penciled in this drawing when I was down in Rome, but since it was at the end of my sketchbook, I can't remember if I posted her or not. Anyway, I remember I hadn't colored her in, so I went ahead and inked/ colored her so I could post her the way I meant to!
Hooray for friends!
My friend Megan just got married and is traveling through Italy on her honeymoon, so we got to hang out for a few days, which was AWESOME! It was so much fun getting to catch up, have our hubbies meet each other, and be able to show her around Florence and all the best places to shop, eat and explore!
We even saw a cute Scottie dog in one of the stores we went into, which we automatically have an affinity for, being CMU alums. .. (yes, the same scottie dog I saw before- seriously, SO CUTE!)

Too much of a good thing
Damon and I have noticed that while our legs are SUPER toned and in shape from the tons of walking we've been doing, the amount of good eatin' has certainly found it's way to our tummies!
Smoking is bad for you...
So, the combination of drinking and running around Paris inevitably led to the drunken purchase of cigarettes, which you know, is THE french thing to do. Unfortunately, (being as how neither Damon or I smoke while sober), we are left with a pack of french cigs to try and get rid of. (cough, cough!)
Remember kids, smoking is BAD for you!

end or our Parisian adventure!
Damon and I managed to find a mask store (which, btw, was PACKED) and get some simple costume supplies- I got a cat mask and ears, and he got a super hero mask, and we went out and made our own fun by staging a photo shoot by some of the old art nouveau Metro stations. SO much fun!!
Halloween doodles
Apparently, "Halloween, it's not very French" Undeterred, Damon and I went out in costume, found a cafe facing all the action at St. Michel, and drew some of the characters / people that we observed... (some in costume, some not!)
