Not sure if I can split my post on here, but this is a LONG one! :D Life becomes infinitely MORE hectic once you have kids, I’m convinced. However having YOUNGER kids is nowhere near as crazy as it is when your kids get to be of an age where they’re gone at sporting events every night of the week. I’m not the type ...

so with deadlines out of the way on Monday, I took all of Tuesday off for the most part aside from a logo design I had to get done.  I took a good portion of yesterday off, started colors on a pinup commission of Jean Grey/Phoenix, watched a bit of a Dylan Cole Gnomon DVD, and tried to get my body back to feeling somewhat normal.  Still ...

Was a long day yesterday.  Took my daughter to get her braces on yesterday morning.  It was probably the LEAST stressful appointment I've ever taken her to for anything.  She did a really good job of not getting too worked up, and she seems to be taking the right approach to getting braces.  She likes them, and isn't ...

Was a busy weekend decorating the house, setting up the xmas tree and working here.  Wanted to take as much time AWAY from the studio as I reasonably could with a deadline only 2 weeks away here.  Still a few things on my mind this morning as I prepare for another LOOOONNNNGGG day in the studio here. First off, I didn't get a chance ...

busy week, busy MONTH coming up here.  here's what I've got brewing inside my head this morning. The new Cure album, 4:13 Dream, might be my favorite album in the last few years.  It might be the best Cure album since Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me or Wish actually.  Which is saying a lot because I'm a huge music fan, and ...

at least that’s what it’s felt like here the last few months. we’ve been so busy and in a lot of ways so stressed, that it’s felt like we’ve been buzzing around inside a huge bee hive trying to keep up with all the other worker bees and keep making enough honey to keep the hive going. Maybe a terrible ...

Con-X-TremeI’ve spend the last few days avoiding writing about the con since I don’t usually like to speak ill of anyone, but I can’t just let other’s fall into this trap if the con is still around next year. I’ve never seen a more mismanaged travesty than what took place at Con-X-Treme and I’ve been in student ...

Back from vacation. It feels a little weird to be back and the weather is so much cooler here. In the coming days I will upload my trip photos to my photobucket and the videos to somewhere. I’ll also be updating my site with new artwork so keep on checking back. Here’s a day by day vacation recap:Day 1: We drove down to Palmdale where ...

Sorry I didn’t update yesterday by the time I got back from checking the proofs for my promo materials for the SCBWI LA conference my mom called to remind me about their BBQ (my mom’s sister, my uncle and my cousin and her friend were staying the night on their way back down to Palmdale) and I didn’t realize somehow till I was ...

I don’t have a new piece of art this week other than the watercolor I did at faire this past weekend for my friend Amy’s Birthday. I do however have a whole new site up! There weren’t really any problems with the old one (other than its small size) but this one fits my current art direction focus (children’s books) better. ...
