Storytelling Through Art!

Ay my hillbillies, vagabonds, internet stalkers, ogres, wood-land fairies, and 
relatives! (I need to stop with these bizarre intros haha.)

Topic of the day is on ART-but more specifically, the stories that you drawing-folk can
tell through a little cartooning around.



 The story of a cat's dietary struggle... to keep fit, while resisting tasty temptation that lurks at every corner.
(ahaha that makes it sound pretty intense, doesn't it?)


EEEEEP! A young girl encounters her worst nightmare... the dreaded ceiling buggers, and wall clinging octoflies!
(or just bugs..)

Finnley the Walrus just wants a friend... too bad those pesky tusks of his, send everyone a runnin'.


My apologies for the mediocre/(MEH) photo quality... My good-camera didn't feel like cooperating... guess it's just in a bad mood. (In other words I just forgot to charge the battery)
Ah well.. my phone camera does the job.

More stories to come, in these Summer weeks ahead!

 Have a doodling of a day,
and
stay
inspired!

-Jenna.

Compassion

Think of a time when someone gave you a genuine compliment.
I bet it gave you a lift: even if only for a fleeting second.

For those of you that have been following my ''Daily Compliment Series'' here at funkstertrunk- you'll know that those have been more ''jokes'' than compliments. 



                                                                 Example ^ haha

But today I thought I'd switch ''modes'' and talk about how we can build up the people around us,(jokes aside) in our everyday lives. 

I think that in this day in age' there are more lonely/depressed/disheartened individuals than ever before.. due to so many broken families, the influence of media, and simply hearts that are yearning for Jesus.

If you are a follower of Christ, you have been called to love people like Jesus did.
Jesus not only healed thousands, and died on the cross for all our sins.. but he knew how
to show compassion! 

I think we often forget just how meaningful the most simplistic things can be.
You never really know what's going on inside of someone else's life..
Who knows.. the more you start branching out to others.. the more others might just start branching out to you.

Tomorrow?

There is no knowing whether you and I will see another sunset, another family gathering, or even another day.

So why you and I are still alive... let's make the very most of this one life on Earth that we have.
Care deeply about every person that passes you by, say hello to strangers, dream wildly and help those around you to pursue their dreams as well. 

Don't waste a second, and never choose to throw your life away.

Poetic

Enter another universe.

Put your headphones on, and you'll leave this world behind.




currently listening to: Boots of Danger (Wait up)- Tokyo Police Club.

So uhh.. how's life?

Hey so I felt like writing a blog post.. and uh yeah.
I should most defintiely be a professioal writer pssh yeah.

Hmm how about I tell you about my day so far.
I went to psych class. I started working on some bonus questions.. just because I'm
such an excellent student, pffft. Now I'm in Animation... I'm done my work.. and I could be doing
something slightly more productive like ''Animationy Stuff". But no.

Can't wait for Summer! Going on a hippy road-trip,visitng my favourite people, and working as a Camp Counselor.

SKUNK vs NARWHAL

Yo yo yo.
Here's An Animated Short-created by Jenna McNaught
that shows just how awesome skunks are in comparison
to the dreaded narwhals.



Tour&Painting

Here's an approximately 8 second long~video clip of what my room looks
like in low lighting.. Not sure why you'd care.. but I just think that it looks particularly interesting when it's not too dark and not too light.


And now for the more "Art-Related" portion of this blog post.. here's what
I handed in for an English project where you had to create some sort of image
that represented the poem you wrote.. (Haha and yes.. I'm aware that there is a eye there.. it ties in with the poetry..)

Dreams

If had a million dollars.. I think I'd buy myself a country and name it ''Notacountry"
just because.

The Starving Artists: Progess Report

So my novel is nowhere near completion.. (just thought I'd be upfront and honest.)
I wrote a whole outline-roughly about 30 chapters that are about 2/3 pages each..
but I keep re-thinking and re-vising. There are bits and pieces of dialogue I still wish to include..
and then there's the matter of typing it all out... blech. I had a truckload of fresh ideas: that came to me during First Block-being Psychology. (These ideas came to me whilst I was supposed to be reviewing for my Psych Exam.. but ah well.. haha.) You're probably asking yourself right now- ''Jenna! Why are you bothering to tell us this? Why get our hopes up and make us believe that this book will be done in a matter of days, and then send them crashing down!". Well..Have I got an answer for you..

FEAR NOT. I have not abandoned my book. It's simply a matter of staying motivated, inspired, and finding the time/energy/effort. To make up for any disappointment(s) heres a snippet-a clippet~ an actual piece from my literature work in progress-

''I understand". The alleyway was vacant, apart from the two of them. Yet Nile felt as though their every movement was being closely monitored. ''Now Nile.. What I would like for you to do, is come up with a name. Or even just a word. Generally speaking It should be between 5-7 letters long... Think about what mark you'd like to leave behihnd on this world...''
