You know that place between sleep and awake?

That's where inspiration is.
Hook's quote aside, coming up with things for [livejournal.com profile] saba1789's prompt has been hard. I thought that doing the one with Spencer's left foot was challenging. Ah! If a little piece of Spencer made me sweat, I should have known that the whole thing would kill me.
Anyway, I've been toying with this prompt for a week and I finally got inspired this morning while waking up (a process that takes me from 10 to 30 minutes, depending on my hunger).
This time, I tried drawing with music in the background, so each piece is accompanied by the song I listened to while doing the first sketches. That means that today you get art and music!
[livejournal.com profile] saba1789, I hope these come close to what you wanted :)

5 things Spencer always has to has with him while on tour

1. pillow
Coldplay - Yellow (Piano Version)

2. keyring
Waterboy - We Will Rock You

3. concealer
The Boy Least Likely To - Be Gentle With Me

4. notebook
Strangeloves - I Want Candy

5. key
Vitamin String Quartet - Mad as Rabbits

As you might have noticed, the fifth item doesn't have a "note". That's because I wrote one that was so long it would have been a ficlet. The thing is, I don't think that that key needs an explanation: it speaks for itself.


Well, that was the last prompt for the 5 things meme. If you ever want to prompt me again, you can. Just be aware that lectures started again so it'll take me longer to draw them :)

Now, flist? I need your help: should I upgrade to a paid account or not? I'm very tempted... but I don't know if it'd be worth it. Opinions?

Thank you!
I laughed out loud at the fourth one
I laughed while I was drawing it! I just kept thinking about Ryan being all happy that Spencer was so focused while writing in the notebook, muttering about tangerine scent and golden colour and aubergines and then find out that he was coming up with recipes!

Ryan would have been totally fascinated by Spencer's mutterings and then written a bunch of songs inspired by them. (A little known fact of how Pretty. Odd. got written, y/n?)

YES! Lots of metaphors about tasting life and seeing the world without shades and let the past be where it is and live the moment! And it was all inspired by a vegetarian casserole! That's why it's Pretty.Odd.!

Exactly!
All this thinking about food made me hungry. I would love some of that casserole right now.
