My new card set is now available in my shop! The You Look Pretty cards went over so well that I thought I would put out a set that has something for everyone. 

I am in my studio today, working away on the 2012 Calendar...

happy hallo - AHHHHHH!!!!

dear old dad, seconds before I became terrified of clowns.

Tomorrow morning I will head to Miami for 4 beautiful days. My etsy shop will remain open, and I will be checking email, but less frequently than usual. I would love recommendations on where to eat or wander, so send them my way!

For those of you who have placed orders this week, I will be shipping most things next Friday.

THANK YOU so much for your orders! I have many more things coming!

compliments

something new!
i will be updating my etsy shop this week, and this is one new thing I will be introducing.
They are handy little compliments, ready to be given to that perfect stranger or your best friend - more soon!

best friends

this is not art/design related, but this site is called Things That Make My Day, and this definitely fits the bill. Ah! I think it will be worth 2 minutes and 40 seconds of your day, but only if you want to feel warm and happy inside.

EDITED on JAN 31 2009: looks like this video was removed due to it's insane popularity! you broke the internet!

EDIT AGAIN: seems to be back, and is funnily enough the post that gets the most repeated hits on this website. Now I know what y'all like.

Here is something funny to watch before you go to work today:
Evil Baby

I will be back later today with something new....

my first demo derby

On Friday I attended my first Demo Derby. If you have never been to one, I highly recommend it. There is something about the base value of watching cars crash into each other until they are left a mangled, smokey mess that makes your head completely empty out and all you can do is laugh. The other fun thing is people watching, but I will let you draw your own conclusions on that. 
The Zipper - most awful ride ever:

I have more images from the rest of the weekend, but they are so opposite of these that I have to post them separately.....

where the hell is matt?

this video made me really happy. What better way to start your week than a dancing, smiling man inspiring countless strangers to dance with him?
