I found that some of life's greatest revelations can discovered on the open road with nothing more than an evening breeze, jazz on the radio, and a 5lb bag of gummi bears. I've also learned that I'll always have more questions than answers (and that's okay!). May this be a written and visual documentation of this crazy journey we call life.

An early Christmas...for me.

I'm surprised my credit card hasn't been deactivated because in addition to paying for gas to Montana (to be reimbursed by Uncle Sam of course), I've been doing some online shopping this weekend.

Nothing spontaneous of course, just things I've been needing to purchase anyway.

-Like one of my natural science illustration textbooks.


-And a pair of Levi Slim Fit jeans because a) of all, it's the best pair of fitting jeans I've found and b) of all, I only own one pair of jeans right now and it's getting a little thin in the behind.


-And most exciting, a scanner! It's 11x17, got great customer reviews on Amazon, wasn't terribly expensive and I'm considering it one of my first adult purchases as a "professional" artist.


I've realized I have a number of projects I haven't posted on the blog yet...some because I've just procrastinated, others because I'm without a scanner right now. So once I do, I'll be sure to post them. I'm especially proud of a pen and ink drawing of a turkey, something that I've probably put in 5 hours over the last 2 days. Weird subject I know but I'm just thinking ahead to Thanksgiving...

I'm very excited because the scanner also gives me some much needed options for art projects I've been meaning to try.

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one with headaches. Wait, that came out bad. I think/hope you know what I mean. I've had more than usual since moving too. I was going to write this one off as change in weather, but not so sure. I was thinking diet...water consumption? Meh.

I'm jealous of taking classes. I would love to do that! I'm adopting my IP philosophy: Just make things and something will follow.

I also know what you mean about the credit card. I bought two -expensive- plane tickets in the past month and I think I'm going to order some shoes online right now. ha. Oh the joys of spending.

Glad you're back online:)
I missed ya!
