The Flea Circus

Well they've taken over. The fleas, that is. Something about this year's summer, but I've heard the fleas are assembling in an aggresive manner to take over the world and no one is safe. Lou's blaming me because I feed all the stray cats outside. Maybe. But I'm not confessing to anything without my lawyer. Either way this is really hindering my crafting. I've been a cleaning fiend all week.

My summer sale is still going strong. I'm not sure how long I'll hold it for. Can't very well have a "summer sale" in September right? Ah yes...I'll call it a back-to-school sale. Marketing genius.

A few days ago my paper samples came in the mail and it was like Christmas! I wanted to research which type of paper I thought would be best for some art prints I'm making. I ordered a small sampling of some Hahnemuhle sheets. The canvas paper is so nice and smooth and bendy! And the photorag is so silky. Now I can't decide which looks best. ah well.

Am I the only one that loves/knows of the videogame Katamari Damacy? If you haven't heard of it, I highly recommend it. There's a few sequels out also. It's colorful and fun and totally wacked out.
This is just one of my illustration interpretations of a character in the game that I'm working on.

Guest blogging and kitty shenanigans

On Monday [yes I know it's almost Thursday..I'm a little slow], I was the guest blogger for my company's blog! I wrote about the upcoming Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire and how you can host a kid's party in the theme. Check it out here. My friends and I are going for opening weekend this Saturday and it's going to be awesome! Pictures to come, naturally.

In other news, I've discovered why there's always cat hair in and around my light box.



It kills me because it was so cute and I couldn't yell at him, but he's messing up my crafting area and he has no idea!

Also, I whipped up another summer sale advert. I'm loving the way the cartoon Plini came out.

summer sale update!

ya heard.
