Happy (belated) Halloween everyone!
I realize it is no longer October 31st…but I just have to share this with you! This is a video that my husband, my friends/wedding photographers Claire & Andy and I put together. It was so much fun to put this together. Thank you Claire, Andy & Emily (our outstanding make-up artist).
the birds
Once I was sitting on a beach in Seattle, when all of a sudden a flock of seagulls flew over my head and, while my head was turned, a seagull dropped a bomb right on my ankle…which also splattered on my pants and purse.
Gross.
I still like birds though. This piece proves it! It’s a gift for my sister and still a work in progress but should be done soon.

Excited, excited!
Breaking in the sketchbook
New sketchbooks are intimidating strangers. Their covers are smooth and pages blank, daring you to make that very first mark. Unlike those sketchbooks that are faithful companions for months, new sketchbooks don’t hold any of your experiences, successes or frustrations. New sketchbooks are waiting to have their character decided by you. Intimidating.
Wacom tablets are F-U-N
Last week I made an important purchase: I BOUGHT A WACOM TABLET! Hooray for technology! I’ve been wanting one for a while now and finally bit the bullet. Let me just say that bullet has been well worth it.
To celebrate, I drew the silly images above. They’re a bit different than my normal style but I figured what the heck, why not branch out a bit? My personal favorite is the elephant. I couldn’t help but giggle as I drew him.
