As cliche as that sounds, it's quite true. It's tough trying to keep the excitement in art when it becomes your main source of income. Like a very long marriage. You gotta find ways to keep the flaming going, rolling with the punches and changes. I'm learning that there isn't a balance between work and play... it's a sense of harmony. And boy oh boy, is it a struggle to find & maintain. I've been trying my hardest darnest! I guess that's why I've disappeared for a bit. Well, I'm back! Hi! Here are some scattered photos of my recent whereabouts.
Oh, little miss Monkey kitty. James & I spent more than an hour just exchanging pictures and "awww!!"s regarding Monkey. I even talked to her on the phone and eventually through webcam. Yes, I know it's ridiculous. I just love that cute little face!
in & out + crafts = !!!!
I ventured to Santa Cruz to indulge in Marianne's ice cream and the wonderful company of Ravi & Joe. Look at those brahs.
Speaking of brahs... here's a couple more preparing the group dinner at Adam & Kharlo's. I love cooking dinner with friends... one of my favorite things about being in LA. It's nice knowing I can find it in San Jose too.
Pasta sauce with tofu goodness

Finally using my indian silk for a tin can pillow set custom order. Look at that shine! :D
Stuffing the pillows after midnight. Oh, I'm so tired!

This is what happens when you finish the biggest custom order you've ever done

you do late night cookie & ice cream runs, eat cookies in forts and have even more cookies for breakfast
you get dogs to wear your yeti hat at wedding reception after parties
you get friends to wear your yeti hat at wedding reception after parties
you get even more people in sf bars to wear your yeti hat
you have friendship in sf
you watch rear window in union square
you eat three twins lemon cookie ice cream & green chile apple pie

the lesson of the story: you chill out! haha. work is great, and steady hustling is important to staying afloat but so is relaxing. so, now that i've got it all out of my system... it's back to the lovely grind.

Rawr!!

I needed to take a small break from work this weekend... and the breaks were a wedding and a trip to SF. I'll post pictures later, but here's something I finished tonight! Yay! Tiger custom order done! :)

Rock Paper Scissors, round 2

So the little spoon battle is based on KB back when we used to date. I showed it to him before posting and this is what he said:

me: Hahaha
Now you know what I was doin back there. Sulking
Kevin: haha
i dont know what i was thinking exactly.
i was probably thinking 'she's an older child. she probably likes being the big spoon, being protective and nurturing.'
me: Hahahahaha
Really though?
Hahaha
Kevin: hahaha i mean no.
obviously i knew how cool little spoon was
