Description
Jenny in her bedroom, listening to blue beats.It was fun to fill up the space with the junk of her life. She never has money, so her television is secondhand from a friend. (Lucky for her LOST is on a basic channel.) Her laptop (an iBook G4, natch) was a present from her momma, and the headphones she swiped from an old boyfriend who had aspirations of becoming a sound mixer. Her fondest memory of him is the day he accidentally knocked out one of his front teeth and she took a bunch of goofy Polaroids of him. He could always make her laugh, but he just wasn't the one.
She's been feeling sort of grumpy and blue lately. Ennui, is the word for it. She can't get her mojo going and it's making her moody and sorry for herself. Her boyfriend Jude kind of doesn't know how he's supposed to handle it, but because he's a gentleman and completely in love with her, he just gives her her space. One of the letters on her bureau is from him.
She'll come around once she washes her hair and gets hungry for pizza. It's no fun to eat pizza alone. Plus Jude can really snazz up a pizza. Goat cheese, tomatoes, crumbled up sausage and some good spices and shit that he won't reveal to her. A man's got to have some aces to play.
What music do you put on when you feel like you need some cave time?

Yeah, I'm heartily anti-smoking myself. I think after that one drawing she's done with that noise.

There is so much about this piece that I just adore. One, I have a strange attraction to paper lanterns, and when I see the warm light they let out, I just fall apart, in the best way possible (like in this painting) Two, I have a softhawk and a nose piercing, so I love Jenny as a character; she's easy to relate to.

It really depends on what type of 'cave' time it is. Lately Radiohead and The Knife have been a few favorites.
I love this piece and the idea behind it. The room and the way we all hole ourselves up from time to time.

I have to say that I love this picture. It's kind of how I feel after getting home from work. I just want to toss off work clothes and listen to music.
I find I end up listening to Gackt Camui a lot when I am in a mood...I find that man's piano is just so moving. Although I normally just end up putting iTunes on shuffle. ^_^

The picture is great.
But why does alone time involve being half naked?

That's just how she rolls. I, personally, do not prefer being naked.

i hate to say, but aside from the atmosphere in this piece, her breasts are my favorite part. D: you have a way with simple lines; her torso is lovely<3

I absolutely adore every bit of this piece! From the gorgeous hanging oriental lamps to the bit of change by the TV. It's life, on paper... or screen, however you want to put it.

To tell the truth I listen to old music, Louis Armstrong, ella fitzgerald, some 80's and 90's music of Whitney Houston. Mostly the smooth Jazz though. And it's absolutely honest that she lays around half naked, people would be lying if they said they never do it

haha, I totally agree about the half-naked part. (And for those of you that -don't- lay around half naked, well, you're just not living!)

Mmm, that pizza sounds good! The detail in this, though sparse, is great. The Cleveland book seems to stand out a bit much--the perspective is lost with the solid typeface. Her feet and her underwear just appeal to me They are beautiful!

I really am digging your line work and the use of the sepia tones. One major thing I am likeing is the use of the light sources especially the laptop. The Pose is really nice really the whole composition of the image is great.
I am really digging your style.
