Comic Con 2010

What a great surprise to meet Noah!

Another surprising moment at the Psych panel.

Just isn't Con without Harry

Love this, his point of reference via cell phone!

I was so happy to make it to at least one panel this year, actually I made it to more than just...

While in San Diego...

So much to do and see while one visits this fine city!
I'm lucky enough to live here...and for the 6 days I spend in hotel, downtown
during Comic Con festivities there is sooooo much to do out and about!
The San Diego Museum of Contemporary Art is hosting a graffiti exhibit that is
in house and out and about the city, and outlining neighbouring towns.
Go to their web site for a map. http://www.mcasd.org/
Just a few pictures from my quick adventure around town!

Colourful mix

My usage of
lime green, sky blue and pink really
enhance "spring fever" in my drawings.
Funny how the various seasons influence my
choice in colour pallet.

My favourite medium of late; watercolour pencils.
Along with my extremely fine line perm markers.

Acco brand pencils (made in UK) are so wonderful. I couple them with
Staedtler pencil (made in Germany).

On a whim, I bought discounted markers from a local
art/crafts store. They were so marked down, I just
thought I could trash them if need be.
However, I have found these Martha Stewart brand
markers to be GREAT! With their .1mm tips, I love the
very fine line I am able to make.
I do have several Koh-I-Noor Rapidograph pens,
which have an array to nibs/tips I love.
But for the easy carefree use, these Martha Stewart
writing pens are delightful!

Well I'm off for now. To create more and enjoy this lovely holiday weekend.
Cheers~

Wee Blue Bird Inspiration...

Having finally found the parcels mailed to many moons ago AND
unexpectedly seeing the wee flirty blue bird upon leaving work (see previous post).
I've been inspired and motivated!

Life changes, losses and unexpected events can turn
a person inside out!
Happily, once the shock of this has subsided life resumes
a natural progression, happily.

Birdie

As I was leaving work
yesterday, I noticed this wee bird near my car.







This feathered cutie would fly from the mirror to the sign post, and back.




While at the mirror, the bird would flirt with itself.




During this whole ordeal, there was another birdie who sat near by, watching!



Nature is so silly at times!

I've been inspired...

Oh I really like the herb garden idea.

I need a hair cut! And a bit of cheer up too.

Table setting inspiration.

I want to create all kinds of springtime birds!

Crochet baby gift

A co-worker had her baby boy about a week and a half ago.
I crocheted this for them.
