Adventure Time art show submission
Finn and Jake, lazy-river-style, for my friend, Niles’, Adventure Time themed art show.
Wash brush practice
The most important question that pops up in our house. Just messing around with the fantastic Wash brushes from Frenden and trying to understand Manga Studio more.
Llama
Now that crunch is over, I can start drawing again! Messing around with new brushes from Frenden and also trying to figure out Manga Studio 5. I’m already loving the feel of the brushes!
Work spouse
When you work long hours at a studio, you hope that you can find at least one person you can chat about your day with. I was very lucky to have made such a good friend like Yan at my last studio. If only I could’ve taken her to Washington with me. ;_;
Mortgage lender appointment
Our trip to the mortgage lender went better than planned.
Dogs
I tend to be too future-oriented for my own good.
Karl and I have been wanting a dog for awhile, but unfortunately, our current apartment complex doesn’t allow pets. Perhaps, next time we move!
Changing names, pt. 2
Coming from a family of headstrong women and also knowing no one in my family would carry our surname (I have no brothers), it took awhile for me to come to terms with the decision to carry my husband’s last name. I know I could’ve just completely kept my last name; I’m still using my maiden name for my professional endeavors (at my husband’s encouragement). The desire to feel like a cohesive unit was my number one motivator for this decision.
For me, sharing a name allows your name to be even closer to his/hers in the same space.
Changing names, pt. 1
I’m so lucky to have a husband who humors me. <3
New bedsheets
The strangest thing I’ve learned living in the Pacific NW is that most places don’t have A/C because of the relatively moderate temps, even in the summer. There’s maybe a few “hot” days hitting 80’s; it’s miserable for those days, but at least it’s temporary.
