Getting back on the horse

I'm apparently ok at it, based on the birthday present I posted before, but I'm not so ok at coming up with patterns on my own. Drawing has become a sore subject for me that last few years.
Here's hoping!
I'm so good at birthdays!

People should send me presents like this. I'd be such a happy girl.

Make It Work!

He's always on about getting a tattoo of Tim Gunn and I saw this several months ago and thought of him. After realizing it was his birthday I decided to whip this up to mail to him.
I miss having any-time access to this blog. I have to wait until I'm using someone else's computer. I even left a post on the forum and no one offered me any help so I guess I'm SOL til I get a new computer.
"Luckily" I never having anything to post these days. I miss endless days of crafting and watching Doctor Who and Northern Exposure.

Vintage Inspiration

I like to look at a lot of vintage ads when I need inspiration for something at work, so of course when I'm told to do a 50s themed ad for an ice cream parlor I'm going to look for 5os Ice Cream ads.
I stumbled across this one and loved the colors, so I decided to design the one I'm working on like this vintage one. This is what I was told to do, so I'll be designing another one, but I needed to do something fun this afternoon!

Ed Emberley


Been looking at his artwork all day trying to draw inspiration from his work for an ad I'm putting way too much effort into. I know that putting a lot of effort into my work is a GOOD thing, but 9/10 times the ones I work the hardest on don't get used and I don't paid enough for this, haha.

What I Wore Today - 11/10/10

- Black tank top
- $5 crystal necklace from the UFO festival
- Men’s plaid shirt (that was too uncomfortable so I changed into my turquoise cardigan)
- Moccasins
- Peace belt
- Braided headband that won’t stay on my head
- Hair that I took the time to “fix” and no one even noticed
I look like an old hippie. And old MAN hippie.
