My ode to the Snuggie.

invite

ok, this is the finished illustration for Jordan & Johnny's wedding invitation. it's off to the printer soon.

in other news, i still love fluffy pop music, like Kylie Minogue. her Fever album still makes me dance.

Best

This was the fortune that I got from my cookie at my birthday dinner with friends a few weeks ago at Vietnam Kitchen.

This year is gonna be AWESOME.

program

I finished the giraffes for my friends' wedding program. The info will all be on the back like they want.

Parental Support

This was the Valentine card I made this year and sent to friends and family. It's St. Valentine, who was beheaded after they unsuccessfully tried to stone him and beat him to death with clubs.

My mom called and told me she and dad got the card I mailed them, that it was really "cute."
I said, "mom, its a dead guy with his head cut off."
She replied "I really like the colors."

I'm convinced I could send her a dead squirrel in a box and she would hang it on their front door, proud of my new "artwork." At least they are always supportive.

Love you mom and dad.
