Analytics

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008


I love Google Analytics so much! I just looked at my newly launched site’s scores in “map overlay” mode and found out that 3 people have viewed my site in that most mysterious place, Papua New Guinea! I’ve been seriously longing to go there for a while now, and if I did, now I know that I my site may have been viewed (at least by accident) a few times there!

Enlightened One

I drew this monk for part of an illustration assignment recently and I’m thinking of releasing him as a print. It might be a bit of a departure for me, but I think it turned out pretty nicely.

I’ve been leaning in a more abstract direction recently; I like how this turned out and I’m going to try some more animals!

Arabia Finland Discovery

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008


I found this beautiful bowl on ebay via my friend Niff who got a similar one recently. It’s by a company called Arabia Finland. I’m intrigued by what I’ve found out about this brand online. It seems that a lot of the design I love is made by them. (Since I don’t have my bowl yet, I borrowed an image from Joy Lanzendorfer’s Blog Oh Joy. – I hope she doesn’t mind – it’s a beautiful photo!)

Today I received a lovely note from a Dog Art Blogger, Moira, who wrote up an article on my work in her blog. Check it out! Above is my upcoming poodle print and some of the Eastern European matchbox covers that she mentions in the article.

This week, I’d like to introduce to you the Shoebill stork. What a strange bird!

Siamese Cat Problem

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008


So I drew these Siamese cats recently and I just don’t like something about them. I prefer the right side’s faces to the left. Any ideas?

Feeling sick today

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

I’m feeling a little crappy today – headache and stuff like that. Blah. I took a big long nap and now I’m up for a while again. I think I might have stressed my body out with working out too much in the last few days. I did a stretching workshop on Sunday, Yoga, Pilates, and Spinning yesterday, and then woke up feeling SO tired today. Poor me!
