we'll high five all our cares away!

So, went to the Aquabats L.A. Holiday Concert last Friday and it was awesome. [You are so jealous, I know. ] There were monsters, pool toys, dancing, singing, jumping around like idiots, and a ton of super nice people everywhere. I wish the whole world was filled with Cadets, because they are always super nice. Plus, they played Super Rad, and everyone in the known universe sang along, which was just awesome.

I haven't been to a show since I was like, 17 or something ridiculous like that, so it was nice to not be an 23-year-old super granny homebody for one night.



Other than that, I'm back to updating the store before I go out of town for ze christmas-themed holidays. Expect cupcakes, elephants, and other things of that nature, because they are fun to make.

slow decay... I won't stop fighting you...

Told ya I'd finally get some drawings and stuff up here! So these are all from my current moleskine... the third is a collage I did the last night of my class... some figure drawings from JJ wednesdays... I love drawing really fat women. I had to blow the contrast out on it in photoshop though, otherwise you couldn't see anything. The top two are just random spreads from the moleskine I liked. Now I promise I'll post more drawings and so forth.

Thanks to Ben for helping with the missing drivers and such.

Some plush, including my white elephant gift:

This fellow is now living with a co-worker's lady/fiance. I believe he has a happy home.



These other two (and the successive ones, because there will be more, I want a mini-elephant brigade) are going in the shop. You should buy them for people you like. Or stick pins in them and buy them for people you don't like?

Oh, and I finally got that usb cable I needed, so I'll scan some sketchbook stuff soon. And christmas plush... made a bunch of those, but obviously, they cannot be posted until after christmas or else the giftees will seeeeee. So you have to wait and see, too.

ballroom blitz!

Here's some new plushies I've been working on. The french fry doesn't have a name yet. You could help me with that? The pig is named William Hamilton.





Oh, it's been getting so hard
Livin' with the things you do to me, aha
Oh my dreams are getting so strange
I'd like to tell you everything I see

I'm reaching out for something...
Touching nothing's all I ever do
Oh, I softly call you over
When you appear there's nothing left of you, aha

Rock Band next Friday. Can you tell I'm excited?

december-ish

So, it's nearly the end of the year. Where in the world did the time go? I've been at JJ now, for like, 4 or 5 months, and time just rolls by like you wouldn't believe. Anyhoooo. Life is great, I'm making plushies, and even better, people like them oodles, so yeah. Good times. Here's some new(ish) work:




In other news, I got a sweet holiday card in the making, and tomorrow is my last collage class, so I'll post that stuff soon too. And I definitely owe at least two of you letters (and I believe some of you owe me letters, a-HEM!) so expect those in the mail!

om nom nom nom

Hope everyone has a fantastic Thanksgiving, if you live within the United States, and a fabulous Thursday otherwise.



Try not to go crazy on the eating, okay? And no, that is not my cat.

yay for christmas... in november!

So here's some of the Christmas content I worked on for JibJab. To work in a business where you're creating content for holidays that are weeks (sometimes months) away is very weird, to say the least. We're on v-day content now, and I wish I could show you some of the sweet stuff I'm making, but, alas, that's at least a few weeks coming.

Also, ElfYourself.com launched about a week ago, and people are already going nuts over it. (And by nuts, I mean posting the most ridiculous stuff over at YouTube. I believe that's two people with their THREE FERRETS as elves.) If you saw it last year, then you'll probably be pretty surprised this year-- JibJab took it over, and now there's four dances to choose from. My Aunt put my cousins in the disco one (yes, disco-dancing elves.) It's equal parts awesome and disturbing.

So, yeah, hope you all enjoy your Thanksgiving break this coming week, I know I could use a 4-day weekend.

A super hip lady over at Now Entering Momville did a write-up of my etsy shop in conjunction with a plush I donated to her "Felt like Christmas" giveaway. If you win, you don't only get my plush (pictured above) but you get super cool stuff from 3 other shops as well!

Some new guys I made over the weekend. I'm doing lots of other things (including plush at work!) so I'll update with that stuff as soon as... um, February. When it launches. Haha. Sorry.

I also have some cool stuff from my collage class I'll throw up here soon. Gotta spray-paint it before its done. Hope everyone is well! And update your blogs! I need eye-candy, darnit.

Yes, I am updating at 3 in the morning. These are my newest batch of awesome. Going up in the store by the end of the week. Woot.
