I've finally taken the plunge and opened an Etsy shop with my partner in art. It's called Silly Mid Off Prints because Robert loves cricket and I think that the silly mid off position in cricket sounds ... well, SILLY! We've put up a few things that we did last year and are working on creating new prints and other pieces. It's definitely motivation create art after work. So, if you're interested in checking out the new shop or otherwise visiting our zillion and one accounts ...

Please say hello!

I don't spend that much time here, but am trying to add a few new things here and there. Lately, I haven't been as prolific. The panda project was fun, but it got to the point the I hated to open Illustrator. Ideas for things the panda should do started to become difficult as well. Recently, I've had fun with the wee creepy guys and just sketching in general. I'd like to get back to painting. Guess it is time to just pull out the canvas and paints and DO IT! (:

11 things

4 min read
Doing this just for *bickhamsarah :) I'll just answer everything and move along...

Okay....

1-> You must post these rules (VERY Important )
2-> Each person must post 11 things about themselves on their journal.
3-> Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post, and create eleven new questions for the people you tag to answer.
4-> You have to choose 11 people to tag and post their icons on your journal.
5-> Go to their pages and tell them you have tagged her/him.
6-> No tag backs
7-> No stuff in the tagging section about "you are tagged if you're reading this." You legitimately (AKA, really, truly, with all honesty) have to tag 11 people.

What is a tag? (;

2. Kitties are adorable, but I loathe cutsey kitty crap.
3. I travel all over to see Depeche Mode in concert. (Worth it!)

Depends on who they are...
3. If you ride one, is your school bus noisy?
Not anymore, but, yes, it was.
4. What's the worst/weirdest Christmas present ( Or any present. ) you've ever gotten?
Hangers. Plastic Wal-Mart hangers. They were supposed to be "thoughtful" b/c I like clothes. errr...
5. What do you say during a scary movie and the girl is about to go in the closet?
Wait for the bonk! (I cover my ears to avoid the sound in scary movies b/c it is often the sound more than the visual that makes people jump.)

I'd try it once. Not a big fan of bananas though.

Here are some questions I want tagged people to answer!

2. Are you outgoing or more reserved?
Depends on the situation. I've worked hard to be more outgoing but get very nervous in new situations.

Baskin Robbins chocolate chip (air blasted chips are the BEST)

9. How's your day?
Meh.
10. If you were really mad, would you yell at the first person who saw?
It's possible. I usually try not to draw that kind of attention though.
11. Do you take the time to think about what you wear everyday or do you just put something on without thinking twice?
Usually I grab whatever seems like it would be comfy, unless I have to meet with someone special, then I agonize.

Panda Mania

1 min read
WOW! Such an awesome reaction to the panda beans! Thanks everyone! (:

I just started making them to break out of my illustrator rut and hopefully learn a little more about photoshop and my tablet. Guess I'll need to keep making more. Is there a specific panda activity you'd like to see?

I signed up here forever ago and never got into it b/c of the UI. When a site's UI makes me feel stupid, I tend to avoid that site. So, er, how does one search for people on here? I know a bunch of people who have portfolios here, but not their usernames (really?) and definitely not their URL's. Oh, sure, I might find them via the 101 business cards I have stashed in a box, but--hahahaa--that is unlikely to say the least.

I also heard various things about losing your copyright to anything uploaded here? Anyone know more details on that one? Seemed a little fishy. Darn you EULA!

So, er, just typing up a journal entry to see how it goes. yay.
