I'm just a girl who likes music and art. I get made fun of for the music I like sometimes. I stopped caring about that a long time ago.

You didn't think I'd leave ya'll hanging did you?!! I've been crazy busy with other work, but have no fear, OHMM20 is still happening!!! It's midnight and that means it's officially October 1st aka the most wonderful time of the year! For those who are new and have no idea what OHMM is, every year during the month of October I watch a horror movie every day and do a quick drawing to accompany it. Follow me on FB or IG to follow along! Idk about you guys but I'm stoked AF to get this thing started! So Happy OHMM20 and let the horror begin!!!!

Day 130:

I am officially on Day 130 of quarantine. I’m high risk cuz of my disability. My birthday is in two weeks and it was going to be the most amazing birthday weekend this year! I was supposed to be at Comic Con in San Diego then on my actual birthday on that Sunday I was going to see @taylorswift ! Literally 10 mins from my house! It was THE absolute PERFECT BIRTHDAY WEEKEND. Instead I’m stuck inside for my safety and I haven’t seen the outside world since Feb. 29th. It sucks.

I can’t even go to Target to get groceries because I’m too high risk. I can’t even drive to my favorite restaurant on my birthday to get food. I can’t even wheel outside my door. And it’s looking like it’s going to be like this for me for the rest of the year. It’s fine, really, I’m used to being stuck at home from all my surgeries. I’m just super bummed that my dream birthday weekend isn’t happening anymore. I’m bummed I don’t get to see @taylorswift on my birthday. But mostly I think I’m just bummed that I’m actually glad I can’t go out anywhere because of how crazy the world is right now and how people aren’t taking things seriously.

Here’s to hoping I’m still around next year to have a better birthday!

Day 10: Deadly Detention. This movie sucked but I'm the sort of person who has to watch the whole movie no matter how bad, I just can't stop midway through. The scene I drew above is also the bloodiest scene in the movie! All the killings were offscreen. Lame.

Day 9: 5ive Girls. This movie was sorta lame but it had Ron Perlman as a priest so I had to watch it. Not that happy about how the suit came out but eh.

Day 8: Cucuy: The Boogeyman. I know I'm way behind. Is anyone still following along? Lol does anyone care? This movie was decent. Now back to drawing! 

[musicislove]

Day 7: The Dead Don't Die. I have been so excited to watch this for a while and super bummed that it didn't live up to my expectations. Oh well. As soon as I picked this scene to draw I immediately regretted it and almost started a new one 'cuz of the hair - it took forever! Ugh glad it's done.

Day 6: In The Tall Grass. The movie was ok but what I love about horror (and Stephen King) is that you can literally take anything - even grass - and make it scary. Playing catch up on drawings today, sorry for the delay.

Day 5: Belzebuth. This movie definitely didn't go where I thought it was and it was great! Really really liked this film.

[musicislove]

Day 4: Pure. I didn't realize 'till after that this was part of the Hulu/Blumhouse Into The Dark series. Oh well, it's still a movie. I actually really enjoyed it and yay for female horror directors! 

[musicislove]

Day 3: The Void. My friend Mitchell suggested I watch this and I'm glad I did. It seems harder and harder to find a really good horror movie nowadays and this one was so random and weird and didn't go where I expected it to. I really enjoyed it.

[musicislove]

Day 2: Gravy. At first I thought the movie was gonna suck and almost switched to something else, but I'm glad I stuck with it because it turned out to be a really gory/bloody B movie. I gave up on drawing the hair 'cuz I got tired so sorry it sucks. Hope to get caught up this weekend.

Day 1: 7 in Heaven. Sorry it's a date late but here's the first movie in the series. It wasn't as good as I wanted it to be but oh well. And the drawing really kicked me in the butt reminding me how out of shape and practice I am! 30 more days to go.

Guys, tomorrow is October 1st!!! You know what that means?! October Horror Movie Marathon!!!!!

For those of you who are new and have no idea what I'm talking about, every October I watch a horror movie every day and do a quick drawing to accompany it. I don't spend a whole lot of time on the drawings so some of them aren't great, but it's a fun exercise and a way to celebrate my favorite month and favorite genre!

If you'd like to follow along be sure to follow me on FB (MelissaSanchezArt) or IG (whatsernameisrad) to see each movie drawing for the day. 

I will warn you though I have been a bit under the weather but I still plan on doing a drawing every day. Some might just be a little late due to my cold.

I am sooo excited though for the 6th year of OHMM!!! I hope you join me and thank you for supporting my art!

It's my birthday so I'm giving you all a gift!

Without further ado here’s a commission I’ve been working on for the last month. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the fine folks of Dunder Mifflin. Like every drawing I do there’s things I am really happy with and things I’m not. This one definitely took a lot of time and overall I’m happy with the result. I also had never watched The Office before (I know, I know) so it was fun to binge it while I drew. First finished piece of 2019 down, so many more to go!
