Yeah, I guess that is what you could call it. I jumped feet first into the blogging world, a world in which I swore I would never indulge. Kinda like that pie at Thanksgiving, or that package of Oreo cookies lurking in the back of the freezer.
Yeah right, who am I kidding?
Come on, they were mint Oreos. I don't turn down mint Oreos, although for my waistline's sake I should.
But really, I do have a point in all of this, I really need a springboard for a creation of mine. Well, creation may be too bold of a word, let's scale back the Homemaker Susie image a bit. I need a springboard for a drawing, for a comic strip.
Ok, still a bit too ambitious.
In reality it is a one panel cartoon character of mine that came into being in February. My bff M'Lissa and I were playing an Italian card game called Scopa (if you like cards and don't know this game check it out here) when a doodle of innocent tic marks turned into a creature. After a few silly additions here and there 'Ted' was born. Then I decided that Ted needed to be more interesting, and have costumes and one-liners so he kind of evolved into what he is today.
Here is the original Ted.
Why yes, those are erase marks. Why no..I have no idea how to use any decent photo shop programs, so if you have recommendations on some good beginner level software please feel free to comment!
My original plan was to do a Daily Dose of Ted, but it has turned into a weekly endeavor due to lack of, erm, time. Ok, ok, lack of discipline as well.
What? You mean my kids have to eat dinner every night? Ok, ok...wait, it can't just be cereal?
Well there you have it, and just like that I give you Ted. And a bunch of other random nonsense, but hey, that's what blogs are for :)
It won't be strictly about Ted however, it will be about everything, everything that is Well With My Soul.
Catchy, huh?
Happy Friday!
P.S.
I love to change things up on a regular basis, if there is a song you would like to hear on the playlist, let me know!
