There is a lot of stuff around a painting studio…and 20 years of accumlation is pretty huge.  I happened upon some small squares of cardboard (about 4"x5") about a month ago and I have been trying to figure out ways to use it ever since. And this week I figured it out. Quick brush drawings…with a little color to workout superhero poses for Zephyr. I think a trip to the comic store is in order for the weekend.

Now Storyteller (my new name for one half of the la power couple) I need some info.  Her power? 
The Boy thinks speed…

The images above are rather still…and under attack below.

Another around town with the softies…
but this is a little closer to home…

The cell phone users on this list are the antithesis of my cell phone use…
(link sent to me by the Boy)
I would only add one item to the list…
don't answer or talk on the phone in a public restroom…
I feel violated.

I am totally relieved to know that there are more non cell phone users out there!! I sort of love not being able to be reached at all times. Well not sort of…I do love it!

I got this lovely journal and a sampler pack ages ago.  It was a gift (so I couldn't show it off), but it has been given, so go check out erin's blog. Her journals are amazing, plus they can be used by lefties. She has a couple really beautiful journals and another sampler set in her shop right now…go fast.

I have to be the world's most horrible cell phone user!  The states of my cell phone:

*cell phone is off
*phone is charging, but off (makes my speakers wig out)
*charging and on, but at home when I am elsewhere
*phone has died and lives in my bag for days on end
*phone charges for a week, where I don't even look at it
*once in a very long while I am completely & totally surprised at myself when someone does call and I answer

I missed a visit by my favorite teacher…she was in nyc last week and I  noticed I had messages last night…arg!

I did some more photos around town with the softies, well around my neighborhood at least. There is a little patch of grass nearby and I wanted to get some shots for etsy.

I have a couple of long birds and a couple of penguins and a couple of digital prints up in my little store right now.  More will be coming.

I came to a conclusion about the softies…they are going to be limited editions…I got a bit burnt out getting ready for renedade.  I know the exciting part for me is making my sketch come alive.  Or at least come 3D.  I am thinking I'll cap out with the penguins at 50…but until then anything that hasn't make it out of the apartment will be assigned a number.  The penguins I put in the store started with 21.
