Check this out!! Eoin showed me the promo set for a new WWE wrestler, Kizarny. Kizotton Kizandy…(promo #2)

Check out my interview on Grain Edit!! There’s a sloth illustration how-to. I bet you’ve been waiting on that for a while…

I just started working on these simple jungle patterns and I love how they’re turning out. I think I’ll try a giraffe next…

I saw the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show the other night on CBS and loved it. It was so beautiful and adorable. I love those cute models strutting their stuff in princess angel wings. And all those hot little bottoms everywhere. Cuties!! I want to live in that world.

I absolutely LOVE The Pickup Artist 2 on VH1. It’s just awesome. Mystery, the main pickup artist educated himself on human nature and mating behavior, transforming himself from self-proclaimed “loser” into a man who now can talk and be attractive to all types of women. If the name “Pickup Artist” turns you off, please look past the sleazy overtones that description implies and give Mystery a chance. He helps men become confident enough to enjoy talking to girls and eventually build a better life for themselves. I love Mystery!!

My dear friend Dina opened an adorable etsy shop selling cute bird appliques and pretty little tea canisters from Japan with tea and a recipe inside. So good!!

I’m just back from half a day of strolling down the lanes of the stationery show. It was pretty great to see what’s going on in the world paper goods, and even better to see my peacock on the front cover of the Chronicle Gift Catalog!! Amazing! I have some cards and a journal coming out this year with them and I got to see it all in reality today.

There was a big letterpress card presence at the show; they were all gorgeous, but the standouts for me were Hammerpress, Nantaka Joy, and Sugarcube Press. Just lovely!!

I just got this amazing and cute-able little laptop. It’s called the Asus Eee and it’s extremely useful and generally amazing. I got the 4GB version, but it’s available in slightly cheaper versions too.
Also notable is that this little guy runs Linux and can be talked into running free programs (mine runs The GIMP and Inkscape) with a bit of fiddling around. I’ll go into more detail on the specifics in a later post…

You should take a look at my dear friend Dina’s new blog, Tea, etc. It’s really interesting to see what she’s been up to making, finding, and photographing. The photos are just great!! Plus, Dina is a major hot-tea (get it?)

I just got my ears pierced this past November and a new world of accessories has opened up to me! I found this gorgeous pair (and many others) at my new Etsy favorite shop, Jantar.
