Fox Books

You know the movie You've Got Mail? With Meg Ryan? Before she got a ton of facial surgery? Aaaanyway, the Tom Hanks character owns a chain of bookstores called Fox Books.

I accidentally made this today. I love me some foxes.

(I know, there's been two posts in the past 48 hours. I know, I'm happy about it too. But don't get used to it or anything. I like to set the bar low, and then pleasantly surprise you with an occasional post. NOW GO ENJOY YOURSELF SOME WEEKEND!)

ITSA ME.

Sorry for being such a stinker. I made you this semi-depressing piece of art in an attempt to make up for it. Please accept my apology.

If I don't post sometime in the next week, it's because I'm having a hot passionate STEAMY love affair with the mere idea of Springtime coming.

There is love, and then there is Bill Murray. Happy Groundhog Day.

Something Amazing Print

I've been getting a lot of emails lately about this piece I posted a few months ago. Normally, I would have made it into a print to put on etsy, but I honestly haven't had a spare second. So! In the spirit of giving, here's a PDF for you, good people of the internet.

Vanilla Face Valentines

I know Valentine's Day is a big holiday for a lot of you, so in the spirit of the upcoming event, I made you some little Valentines to pass out to all your friends and significant others. I worked really hard on them.




Download the PDF here so you can print out 400 of them and post them around town.

And because you're going to look it up anyway, I'll save you the trouble.

I also feel like I should apologize to Becky, my ultra hip awesome grandma (who I'm 99% sure will read this) for the swearing and the use of the word "sexy". It won't happen again.

GRAAAAAWRRRR

Hey. I made you something. It's got a bear on it. I hope you like it.

I lost a bunch (read: all) of my iTunes music today. I have no more Spoon! Van Morrison! The Smiths! I am beyond sad about it.

Anyway though, this is a beautiful song. Maybe you've heard it already. If you have, you should listen to it again.

All for one and one for all.

I was making you a picture and my computer crashed. Twice. BOO. And then it corrupted my file (cue the violins, if you please). At least I had a screen shot! You should probably come bake me cookies to make me feel better.



Anyway.

I've been really in the mood to read "The Three Musketeers". Alexander Dumas is just the bomb. In high school my two best lady friends, Malin the Sea World trainer and Leah the photo journalist (Did I ever mention how amazing my friends are?) had pretty major crushes on the Musketeers, as I recall.

2011 - The year of the Sea Pony

I have mixed feelings regarding 2010. Some really good things happened (I'm very very lucky/blessed). But, some really crummy things happened too. In a nutshell, 2010 was kind of a wet fart. It's out, it's over with, you're better because of it, but it just overwhelmingly stunk.

And although I'm not really one for New Year's Resolutions, this one really hits home for me. Aaaaand I had a tiny bit of free time at work today.

So here's to 2011! By this time next year, my lifelong dream to ride an sea pony may have finally come true.

Just like Beggar's Canyon Back Home

Dear Internet, for Christmas I want a catapult. You have no idea how cranky I'm going to be if I don't get one.

I hope everyone had a Happy Christmas. I made this calendar with the intention of magnificently silk screening it on some soft and supple* 18x24" linen paper. It would have been great, I'm telling you.

Instead, I'm giving it to you, dear readers, as a gift. It's only 8.5x11, but guess what?! It's free and has a bear on it. Nothing says "new year" like a hungry bear** calendar. You can print one out on some nice cardstock, if you so choose. You can also print out 60 of them and use it to wallpaper a bathroom. I know I'm going to.

So anyway.

Here. Hello Bear 2011 Calendar. It's a PDF, so if you right click the link, you should be able to save it.

I just deleted a 3 paragraph tangent on the annual Christmas Star Wars Marathon. Suffice to say I enjoyed it, and I have a healthy*** obsession with Wedge Antilles. The understated hero.

*"Supple" is one of those words that just makes me cringe. Like moist I guess. Bleeergh. The only word that seems to come naturally after supple is "bosom". And if I'm being honest, "bosom" kind of eeks me out too.

**Hungry for love, not people flesh.

***Debatable.

Nothing Gold Can Stay

I've been re-reading The Outsiders during my lunch break every day. (Actually, I've burned through a number of books in the past couple of weeks... any suggestions for what I should tackle next?) I haven't ever seen the movie, but you better believe it's on my to-do list... look at these fellas!


And really, it never ceases to amaze me that S.E. Hinton was only 15 when she wrote this book. How completely amazing is that?
