Covert Bugs

Finally felt comfortable showing a little bit of the new guitar.

Toothpaste

Just something I did for work. I love drawing baby kitties. :D

The Creature From the Pink Lagoon

One of my all time favorite old school movie monsters was the Creature from the Black Lagoon. I just thought he was really cool looking. When I was a kid, I was a total water baby and one of my favorite games was to sneak up on people underwater like a little monster. . .

I've been toying with the idea of a female "creature" for few years now, but I've never been able to get her out on paper. I think I got lucky last night. ;)

Caterpillar Roll

So, yet another year in my life has passed and through out the course of this year I have learned a few important things. The most important one being NEVER, EVER feed a 14-year-old female a ton of sugar followed by a frappachino from Starbucks. It spells disaster.

A Caterpillar Roll of Doom for your viewing pleasure. Potato Farm Girl took me out to a sushi dinner for my B-day. Enough said.

Now off to enjoy the bestest b-day gift (for me) EVER!! 18 hours of CSI viewing goodness, here I come!!

Get Out Of My Mind

OMFG!! If I didnt' completely and totally hate cellphones, this would totally make me buy one! They're marketing strait to me!

Some more recent Neopets junk.

Devil's Food Cake

Okay so here's my final piece for Gallery Nucleus' Power in Numbers 2 Show. It was a semi-last-minute decision to do this one, only because when I sat down to do the icecream cone I was having an internal battle. I named all three of these pieces very Lame-ly, so to keep in theme, he got the oh so very original name of "Devil's Food Cake". Unfortunately it was so "last minute" that he didn't get finished until Potato Farm Girl came to do me the HUGE favor of picking up and dropping off my pieces at the Gallery (at which point she also named him, her idea was WAY better than mine). So I had to take a crappy picture of it. I know I'll get to scan the little bugger when the show comes down in a month, so I promise a better pic then (on my website).



Things are in the hands of time and fate right now in my normal, hectic everyday life, but here's a couple pics of life from some of the enjoyable, laid back moments. :)





Carlos and I were lucky enough to spend Easter with My Uncle Ed and Lori. We had tons of fun and we got to hang out with Bambi the baby donkey. I guess she's not really much of a baby anymore, but she LOVES Converse sneakers. :)

That would also be my nifty hair cut in all of it's wind blown glory. . . I kinda had an accident with a pair of scissors on Valentine's Day. . . 3 years of hair growth down the drain, but boy does my head feel lighter! (And YES Dad, that's my real hair color. . . but mark my words, it will be purple again soon! As soon as the bathroom recovers from the last time I died it, that is.)

Izzo has found a new spot to sleep. . . it's not very sanitary and it's really BAD, BUT when you're small enough to sleep in a frying pan. . .does the word CUTE come to mind to anyone else?

Rainbow Sprinkles

Well, I miraclously pulled this off. My second piece for the "Power in Numbers 2" show over at Gallery Nucleus next month.


I've been obsessed with the idea of sprinkles lately. I guess it's just an extension of my previous candy monsters. . . only I guess the evil sprinkles turn what ever they decorate into evil little tasty morsels.


Thought it might be fun to show these. . . I forced myself to choose between the icecream cone or the piece of layer cake. . . obviously the icecream one. I personally love the sketch more. I always seem to loose a little life when I try to recreate them. :(

Sprinkles with a Cherry on Top

Here is my piece for "Power in Numbers 2" at Gallery Nucleus next month.

Busy, Busy, Busy

Well, things have been pretty damn crazy here in Booger-land. Good news is that I FINALLY have my first day off in 3 weeks and the project at work is in Beta Testing right now and should be up for all of Neopia to enjoy on the 18th.

But since I don't like talkin' about work much on my bloggy blog, and lovely Viacom security rules prevent me from telling too many goodies to psycho Neopets fans, I'll move on to personal work.



Tonight, actually, I'll have a painting in ISM Magazine's April Gallery show "Friends of ISM" down in Costa Mesa, CA. I'm really excited to have the opportunity to be in another show, and even more excited to be in my first show out side of Gallery Nucleus.


With work being as crazy as it has been recently, and not recieving the invite into the ISM show until a week before the show deadline, I had to submit and older piece. But both the piece and I are very happy to have it be seen outside of my kitchen. :D

In case you're wondering, it's name is ultra super complex. . . "Gummies" and it's 12" x 12" streched canvas with acrylic. So if you can make it down to the OC, or ya live in the OC and you're very, very bored, you can come check out my painting.

Finally, I'm overjoyed to post this little ditty.


About two weeks ago we finally got "Two-Dee Fruity" put together and stringed. I don't think Carlos bothered to tune it, but just having it back together and having the first complete "Purplehearts" guitar made is very exciting. We've already got the next two planned and now that work's slowing down I can get back to having fun with the guitars.
