A snapshot of youth

I started three designs and got stuck. Seems like I've lost my old sense of "artistic" designs and started joining in the trend of the whole "clean and simple" blog designs. Don't know whether that's a good thing or not but I'm not very good with it either. Official design block and driving me nuts. Any inspiration ideas? Here's me on the verge of scraping my latest design.

So in place of my design block, I opened up a new canvas in Photoshop and started more doodling in reminiscence of my high school days last year. I welcome my gang: Meep/Eeep from me, BoBo from Jennifer (I fail to draw the evolved version) and the r3t4Rd3d Momo from Mona.

Meep Bo Mo Gang

I remember how we'd very naively sing It's a Small World to my lyrics and the junior girls would look at us with unanimous weird expressions since they had always thought we were "mature" senior students.

The bulk of our comic strips were evil acts against Mo because well... It's a pretty... r3t4Rd3d-looking goldfish.

And I just procrastinated more from studying. But today's the first day of my two-week holidays, give me a break. Now I need design inspiration, inspiration, inspiration... They're looking so plain and boring and doodling makes me blanker. Grrr.
