Progression

After a couple failed attempts I am finally reworking my portfolio site. No, not the one on the right of this page, a new one, THIS ONE. It's coming along, but still has a long way to go. I think the hard part is over though.
It looks better and is easier to navigate then my previous attempts. Eventually this blog will be remade in a similar fashion.

Here are some trees.

And here are 4 things I think are cool!

(1)  There is Stephen Silver's Character Design Shuffle app, I haven't tried it yet, but it looks like a great tool for artists suffering from a block. I originally read about it on (2) Micheal Bill's blog and he seemed to do well with it.
The awesome team over at (3)Penny Arcade made a reality web-show called (4)Strip Search. Basically it is America's Next Top Web Comic and I love it. It features a couple of artists I've been reading for years.


That's all for now.

As Promised!

2 posts in 1 week? That's right, the world IS flat again and the end times are near.

So here is a thing I did, it's Julia Child fighting a salad monster!

I want to hang this in the kitchen. Yup.

So, I was also going post a comic about working out, but I was fussing with this for much longer than I thought I was going to. I guess I'll try and get the a comic up next week.

A couple of years ago for Christmas my parents got me this wonderful planter that is shaped like a giant tea cup, I'll post a picture eventually. Well the poor thing had been sitting around for over a year until I went to Trader Joes and got 3 little herb garden starters, which I then slowly killed over about 3 months. Let us not focus on the negative.
I then tried growing garlic in it. The garlic rapidly grew way too tall to keep inside and had to be transplanted and moved outside. So now what to do with the giant tea cup planter? I've started lemon seedlings, some of which have not survived and I'm trying for limes and grape fruit in smaller containers(no sprouts yet). If any of them survive long enough I'll bonsai them and post pictures. My success rate with plants has been bouncing wildly from earth-mother to plant-murderer, so we'll see.

I need to re-invigorate my healthy living initiative. More on that in the next post.

Caperucita Roja!

This was just a fun project to put myself to. Just a fake e-book cover for "Little Red Riding Hood" in Spanish. I had fun doing this and I have a couple other things coming down the pipe soon. So enjoy!

 

Aside from that I've been trying to re-work my website, but I don't have a very clear vision of what I want yet, still it's coming.

As far as life outside this blog, I've started a regular work out routine with a dear dear friend. And god bless her for keeping me going to our workouts because I have totally been sabotaging myself with junk food...so that's gotta stop. It has got me thinking about overall health and not just the need to not be the chubby-girl, though. On that note, expect my next post to be soon and food/health related.

I am also addicted to Pinterest. The first step to recovery is admission to a problem, right?

Later Gaters!

Fluevog Shoes - FluevogCreative: Desmond's Unique Sole

Hey Everybody,

I've entered a contest:
Fluevog Shoes - FluevogCreative: Desmond's Unique Sole

Please go forth and vote for my design! (or any design you think deserves to win and you love, but c'mon I wouldn't be sharing if I didn't want your votes now, would I?)  I'd love new shoes, but the advertising would be stellar for my portfolio.
So please, help a sister out?

Thank!

Copics

This is my first time messing around with copic markers. I just wanted to get a feel for how the ink acts so a suuuuper quick sketch lent itself to play time. Clearly this is a bit of a mess, but I love these markers. Expect more(less sloppy work) soon.

On Inboxes

Hey everybody!

So it turns out I didn't know I had an inbox for blogger until about 10 minutes ago. Yes yes, this does in fact make me a bonafide twit.

I'll start being more friendly I promise.
