Things are evolving.

heh heh...get it?

So this is happening...


I've started painting neckties! And wow, is it a breath of fresh air to paint on something flat compared to 3-dimensional shoes. No worrying about warped images or funky stitches.

I haven't had a ton of time to make more designs, since I'm also working on a bunch of other things at the moment. But I do plan on making lots more Pokemon-themed ties. They're just so fun. And there's sooooo many Pokemon to choose from! I plan on painting Haunter next. I have a nice dark gray tie picked out for it. Lou said I should have gone all out with bright purple. But I like the spookiness of the dark gray. We'll see!

The first necktie design I painted was Mario-themed, to match the shoes I paint.


Don't ask me why my next thought was Pokemon. I have no rhyme or reason. No, wait, yes...I do have a reason. I love Pokemon. Who doesn't love Pokemon?

On a completely different note...I had to buy a replacement cell phone charger the other day for the one I had that finally fell apart enough times that I couldn't glue it back together again. The amazing sad part of it all...it only cost 58 cents. THAT'S HOW OLD MY PHONE IS. It's kind of gotten to the point where I feel like "we've been through so much" that I don't want to replace it. It's getting kind of pathetic though. One hinge is broke and half the phone tries to fly away when I flip it open. Duct tape only gets me so far. Am I the last person on earth without a smartphone or touchscreen keyboard? I REFUSE TO CONFORM!

Super Mario Heels

One of the newest things that I've been working on is getting more hand-painted shoes in the shop. How cute are these peep-toes? I especially love the matching blue inlay and outsole. They're available to purchase in my shop, along with a few other designs, which you could send me a pair of shoes to paint.

I also have an underwater Mario theme laid out and ready to paint that I'm really excited about.  How cute will Blooper be to paint?
I'm hoping to branch out soon into other video game related themes too. If only I had 4 more copies of myself, this would go a lot faster.
