I am here. Yes. A whole lot of show-scheming has been going on and this week also marked my 24th birthday! Dang. It's just a random number, nothing special, and I'm not much of a birthday person, but it's been so nice to spend some time with the family and see good friends for coffee or lunch this week. Quite lovely. I love you guys!
And, I've ordered a canopy tent for the August show. Finally. I literally spent the past two weeks agonizing over canopy options. There are *so* many different tent brands and ghastly horror stories and differing price ranges (all over the board)...I became overwhelmed pretty quickly.
In the end, I finally decided to get a Caravan Canopy from these guys. And hopefully, that will be the end of that. Big expenses like that are always such a pain to decide over.
Also, got a new pair of headphones for music enjoyment! I love 'em. Big, retro, pretty stylish, and sound good too. 
And, the most important bit, is they don't hurt my ears after having them on for 3 hours while painting (thumbs up!).
A whole lot of sketching has been taking place in the evenings...
Working out painting designs and a collection of work for the August show. But sometimes, I can't help but draw a little bit of geeky fan art.
...such as this Margot Tenenbaum sketch. And I'm working on a sketch for a Death Cab poster-style painting. Just 'cause. I seem to have a hard time finding really neat (and affordable...) posters for that band, so I thought I'd just make my own (...which sounds so terribly geeky now that I've typed it out, but, well, there you are). It'll be for my own collection, but if it turns out cool enough, who knows.
And, speaking of band concert posters, I just ordered this one of the Decemberists (I guess you could say it was a b-day splurge for myself). I can't wait to get it in the post!
Alrighty. I have a date with some Indy dvds... It just feels like a Raiders of the Lost Ark sort of night. Happy Friday the 13th everyone!

Love the Margot sketch! Is it nerdy that I'd love to see a version with the whole family?
Haha! Not nerdy at all. :)
so... you said tuesday? Is that a guaranteed date, do you think? Cause if so, when are you working Tuesday, and would it be possible for me to come over in the evening for some little festivities (and pick up the paintings and ceramics)? and maybe some Indy watching?
Just sent you an email! :) Tuesday works! I get off at around 4-5ish at the BI studio, and have no plans. Keep me posted on your schedule and what-nots... :)
Happy Birthday! I can hardly wait to see how the bunny sketch shapes up, I'm intrigued!
Why thank you, Dawn! :) Yes, I can't wait to start painting that one. A fish-eating rabbit? How awesomely absurd. :)
What a fun blog you have! I love your artwork!!
Thank you, my dear! :)
