Don't drink that coffee!


Girl's been watching too much Twin Peaks.  

This was supposed to be a beginning of the new year post, but it seems like things got away from me a little! I've been back at work for a little while now and at first it was really quiet and easy to kid myself that it was still only a couple of days ago that I was having a lazy January 1st, but now everyone's back at work, mad as hatters, and I'm neglecting my New Year's resolutions already.

So, I'm turning over a new leaf in a new (well, old but recycled) sketchbook and I'm proud to present page number one, in honour of my latest obsession. My boyfriend introduced me to Twin Peaks last year and straight after watching the pilot I was hooked. There's just something about it: the setting, the style (I never would have thought a couple of years ago that I'd be daydreaming about tweed shirts, diner uniforms, and pencil skirts, but the Twin Peaks girls have really got me sold), the sheer surrealism. Last night Agent Cooper was on his way to investigate a mynah bird called Waldo as a possible accessory to murder, while being romantically pursued by a school-age femme fatale with self-ascribed "emotional problems". What more could you want?
