I’m working on an illustration of my sister, Nancy, and her cat, Mochi, for a cute blog design as a Christmas present. Mochi is pretty crazy so I figured flopping on top of her head would be the best spot for her.

It was fun!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I wish I were at home back east but it’s not so bad here. For starters, the weather is in the 70’s. It’s time to make cinnamon rolls and get ready for dinner tonight. I hope everyone has a great holiday :)

Lately I’ve been finding myself very unmotivated and lazy in regards to any freelance work. It’s not that the projects are boring … I think it’s that I’m just tired. Either way, it’s really screwing up my process and schedule so I’m just pushing through. I’m just in a funk.

I worked on some more bird illustrations tonight. This is my favorite from the batch I’ve just finished tonight - it’s a Screech Owl! You can also find that bad boy on Dribbble: http://drbl.in/chPT

Just because I took a sick day from work doesn’t mean I just should sit around and be, well, sick. I managed to get laundry done, dishes washed, floors mopped, and finally got around to taking pictures of the wedding invitations I designed and created for my co-worker and his fiance.

The weather here is a bit rainy today so my photos are all over the place in terms of color …

Chris is a genius game designer where I work and he’s one of the most hilarious persons there. He’s also a board game geek and a huge BSG fan. His fiance, Jenn, is a talented pianist and works for various school districts as a piano instructor among other gigs. They both love to cook (and are great at it), love to have people over, and are two of the nicest people you’ll ever meet.

C’mon, you all knew this was coming. Frankie turned eight on the 10th of this month and it makes me so sad. My little wiener is getting old. He is, hands down, my best friend in the entire world. Frankie is the only one that I can talk to and he’ll genuinely listen (I like to think he is, at least). He knows how I’m feeling and knows just when to come lay in my lap.

Rescuing him from Hoboken, NJ at 12am was the only right thing I’ve done so far.

This is an illustration that started out as quick pencil sketches. My friend Adam and I like to draw things randomly (some that can never be unseen) and this was our collaboration. It was drawn in Flash. Yup, good ol’ Flash. Flash is the main program I work with at the office (we design and develop social Flash games ala Facebook) and I’ve become so accustomed to it! It’s actually a bit more forgiving and free.

Go figure.
