Tattoo

Not mine. Colin designed this for Becky. She wanted a tattoo of her sons' names.

Max & Lucas.

Indelibly Scarred For Life


Can you imagine the pressure designing something that she will be looking at for the REST OF HER LIFE?! Me neither.


It looks AWESOME though. Yay Beck!!


By the way, Colin has a new blog! Woo!

When something is truly awesome, I really should blog about it.

THIS IS SO AWESOME! AGH!



(now would be a good time to mention that I've never even heard Beyonce's original version, and I have even less intention of doing so now.)

But! In case you're more of an Earth Wind and Fire type of person, here ya go!



More Pomplamoose to listen to online.

Love it. LOVE IT. Go buy Pomplamoose's music. Now. Support art. Support AWESOME art.

Science Geekdom

A collector and friend of mine, Madeleine, whom I've mentioned before, sent me word of her incredibly exciting news this week. She just had her first paper published in the April issue of Nature Biotechnology!! Woooo!! Congrats, Madeleine!!

And, just for icing on an already delicious cake, they used the artwork she submitted as the cover too! Check it out:


Isn't that awesome? :oD Hooray for science geeks pursuing science!! You make the world go round!! Well, okay, you help explain how and why it does, but that's incredibly important!!

:oD

Namesakes and leather

Okay, backstory: So I bought this awesome wallet for Colin at Christmas from my friend Arlene at Sewlutions by AMO, and it was so awesome! Soft and sturdy and wonderful. Handmade leather stuff!! (Sorry, Vegans.)



She and I got to talkin' and yada yada yada, she liked my name(s) so much, she wanted to use them on products, and of course I thought that was completely rad. :oD

Today she emailed me to let me know that she'd created another totally awesome handmade leather product (sorry again vegans) that used my name! (!!!)

Introducing, The Maddox:



It comes in a couple different colors, and she might add more colors too. So cool. Ahh... all those times I made Colin carry my IDs and stuff because my outfit didn't have pockets and I refused to carry a purse.... I think I'm gonna have to get one of these. I mean, it's called THE MADDOX!

Oh, and there's a Shayla in the works at some point too. Huzzah!

Phi Interruption

Remember when I said that Nova Palette was my new favorite piece from Interrupt?


Well... I think I'd like to revise my previous statement. Cause this one is pretty freakin' rad. It's called Phi Palette.

Up for me this week: Working on a book, (heh, that sounds cool every time I say it) working on an interview about Sand Artists that I get to participate in, learning more about international shipping, getting Luminary and Wisdom ready to meet their new family, and initial planning of 6 small paintings to send to 2 different gallery locations in New York!

[and I haven't even had coffee yet!]

We're live in 3.. 2.. 1..



Parts of it have sort of been "up" for awhile if you happened to click the link over to the right there, but I wasn't officially debuting it until it was done. Isn't it pretty? Colin made it for me. I'm thrilled with it. It now includes links to my blog and Etsy shop, as well as a beautiful new gallery and About Me page. Finally! I'm so happy with it.

Please go check it out and celebrate its existence with me. Yay!

Exciting times ahead. :o)

Eco-mindedness

Colin's FAT NINJA postcards were featured today on Crafting A Green World. Honor, much!


Check out the full article here.

You see, he uses 100% recycled, brown kraft envelopes. It's not that they look cooler (although they do) but using recycled materials is one of Colin's main goals for the future, especially in his Etsy shop.

He also sells 6 packs of each variety of Fat Ninja, and even better: Variety Packs! Woooooo
