Work in Progress

There was once two moons. And one of these moons happened to shine right in Luna's eyes every night. She couldn't sleep, so one night Luna waded out into the pond behind her home. In the water, she scooped out the moon from the water and ate it like a cookie. The crumbs that fell from her lips, became the night stars that sprinkle sky.

TEXAS!!!

Well, folks. It looks like we're moving to Texas. We are hoping for the official job offer by the end of the week. Then its a three day drive on down to Austin! I think it'll be awesome once we get there, but the packing up and moving part kinda sucks. But as Rendi always says, "As long as its temporary...." I'll do my best to post as soon as we get there and my computer is no longer in its box.

Date Night Adventures

I dressed up for a sweet date with Mike at a local Japanese Steakhouse. We only did sushi, but that was plenty to fill us up. Mike also ordered a bunch of uncooked slabs of fish. Well... that included Tako. Which is a slice of uncooked octopus tentacle. Needless to say.... It didn't quite tickle the palate. My darling sweetheart captured the experience all on video....

Yummy Yummy Books

As some of you know, I bind books and I call my little brand "The Paper Sandwich". (That blog will come back eventually...) Anywho. My trusty little calendar is running low on months and weeks, so its time for a new one. I figured that if I'm going to put a lot of work into it, I might as well make enough for a few other people as well, if they want to buy em. So here is the mock-up. I'd like to have 6- 12 different monsters for the Months and 3-5 for the weeks. I figure the blank pages in that back can be for new monster doodles and maybe even robots!

And just in case you needed a little COLOR in your life: A Flying Slug.

Monsters are so FUN!!!

There is something about hanging out with my twin sister that gets my creative juices flowing. I think that having her area of expertise be in another field(interior design) is extremely helpful. We both know the basic principles of design and art, but are different enough that a lot of the competition of our childhood is gone. This was created, after a day of my twin, Sam, helped me design several quilts and make them (aka she designed and I took notes). So... Thanks SAM!

ps. I like monsters.

Stop!

This little fellow is a character idea I have for a short story done in graphic novel style. I'm still figuring out the details, but I thought it'd be fun to share a preview.

Stupid Birds

I live in a very old building (145 yrs) and birds live in ours as well as the ones surrounding it. I hate them with a passion. They leave droppings all over my stairs and porch as well as our cars! Now they've taken to eating my basil, thyme and parsley. They've even attacked my pansies! My big, manly husband has shot a few of them with his pellet gun, which works a little, but not enough to really get rid of them. We have other plans in the works however and the herbs have been moved inside. We'll see if they'll live....
