I’m sort of doing already anyway, but I thought I should announce somewhat-officially that I’m going to take a little break from posting blogs for a little while- no longer than the summer or so. I’m working on getting a few projects off the ground and I need some time to focus on them, so [...]

Meh, so what if I don’t do Panda Thursday every single week? This is just to prove that I’m still doing it at all. I’ve got a very very limited and restricted work schedule right now because of my injury, so I’ve been doodling at my desk quite a bit. This was today.

Just fooling around with Illustrator in a slow moment at work. Owls are cute, and kind of kitschy, but I’m okay with that.

So, my sister is getting married, and I guess there’s some sort of ceremony involved. Something about dress colors and cake, I dunno, I wasn’t paying attention.
Snark aside, I really like using applications like Kuler to pick themes and schemes and Make Stuff Go Together, so rather than step on my sister’s toes and be [...]

I did something really similar to this hummingbird with a goldfish about a million years ago (okay, two). I like the blue as a background for colorful animals. Also I like how versatile this woodcut-ish technique with the tablet is- I can do the blacks as quickly or as obsessively as I want and it [...]

Holy crap, a new post! I am alive after all, I’ve just been using the accident as an excuse not to keep up with the blog.
No more of that. I’ll go ape- They changed my back-to-work date to June 5th, and they expect to extend it again. I have to do something or else [...]

It’s not all that warm here just yet. And it’s still raining a lot. Hard to remember it’s spring.
I haven’t been feeling terribly enthusiastic about anything lately. Trying to shake myself out of it, and force something to happen, kind of like all the flowering trees around here in spite of [...]

I give you PandaBus.
This started out as a panda, and it slowly became a bus. Like CatBus, only somehow not.
I showed it to a few coworkers, who instead of asking the ususal “why pandas?” asked, “what are you smoking and why aren’t you sharing?”
I suppose that’s an improvement.

So, I got a scanner (a Canon CanoScan LiDE 25, to be precise) from my uncle and aunt for my birthday last month, and never really got around to unboxing it until just now (mostly because I need to use it for a project at work, how sad is that?).
So now I can share some [...]

Once again, it’s Panda Thursday. It’s also my sister’s birthday. Happy birthday, Tori!
