Derby Nerdism

Since I was ill this weekend (and couldn't go to derby practice *cry*) I had plenty of time getting bored of lying around in my bed and looking for my good old polymer clay (which gets totally hard and crumbly if you don't store it well, kids! Learn from my mistaken life.). This is based on my actual skates (size is approximately half a thumb - I mean the part above that joint. You know what I mean. Maybe.):


I also scanned some quick'n'dirty sketches which I did at SKOD in Gent (I didn't draw as much as I had planned though - was too busy being all excited and screaming my heart out for the Bombshells and stuff.)




Woaaahhh~ I can't draw in caaarssss... *wibblywobbly*




Help me! It's a tumblr!

Hey, lovely people who follow this blog (and a cordial hello to you, too, who somehow landed here searching for axolotl porn or whatever)!
I have a new tumblr! It's not a substitute for this blog but an addition. I'm trying to get more practice with my tablet (and drawing in general). Since my favorite excuses are "no time" and "dunno what to draaaaw", I'll do a very quick (maximum 10 minutes) sketch every day - and I'm drawing what you ask me to (well, within reasonable limits). Sooo, if you want to help me, go to ask-ephi.tumblr.com and send me your art prompts! Thaaaanks and lotsa internet luuuurve!

Vibaholic - can't say no.

The spirit was willing but the flesh was weeeeaaak...

... but... that must have been a heavenly sign, right?!


I also promised Sara to write a review for their website which I hope I'll soon-ish have some time for...

Oh, and just if you're wondering: this is about the Stronic 2. It's ... revolutionary!

Fabulous lazy sketchy evening

Finally got to scan this, which was made several weeks ago during a lovely lazy drawing evening with an old friend visiting me here in Berlin (miss you, M!).



I used a photograph for this as a reference which I found on tumblr by googling "fabulous" or something along these lines (obviously). Unfortunately, I lost the link and can't find it again, so if you recognize this please let me know so I can properly source it! Thanks! 

Roller Derby saved my soul. And plyo killed my body!

Last Wednesday was my first day of (roller derby) plyo training. When we were supposed to "just walk" around for cool-down it seemed as if the connection between my brain and my leg muscles had been broken. @_@
It's been several days now and my legs still feel super weird when I walk (read: oh the paiiiiinnn!!!111!). However, the hopeless masochist inside me can't wait till next Wednesday.

OK, this conversation went awkward fast






(I want to point out that I don't find anything intrinsically wrong with being a sex worker. Just found it a little weird as a first guess after me mentioning that I have a decently paid job...)

Who killed Pinkie Pie

So, today after work I followed the spontaneous impulse to try saving some money by coloring my hair myself. Well, my bathroom now looks as if I had murdered Pinkie Pie. In an insanely cruel way. Not talking about my clothes, ear and neck.


Unfortunately, the box didn't include one of those disposable plastic "shower" caps so I layered cling film, aluminum foil and a trash bag and put a towel on top. Let me tell you, the whole thing was quite the process and a huge mess.
Nevertheless, I'm actually quite pleased how the color turned out - even without bleaching first:


I just really really hope the color doesn't wash out too fast. All this work...!!

Happy birthday, Jin!





To my favorite Korean person.

Phone bitch - evil mode activate

One easy way to make me instantly hate you:


Dude. When you call, let's say a company, and a female voice answers - guess what! It doesn't necessarily mean that you're speaking to some sort of brainless human answering machine. She might actually be the professional you want to talk to!
Welcome to your worst nightmare. Or, as some like to call it, the 21st century.

PS: Dear sexist jerk, should you end up ordering a search report, rest assured that I will celebrate every identified prior art document detrimental to the novelty of your invention with a bottle of champaign.
