A Trip Down Memory/Productivity Lane

Today, I spent the afternoon in Willow Glen and rediscovered Hicklebee's Bookstore. This is the bookstore I frequented when I was a kid, at least once a week for most of my life. Love love love this bookstore.

I spent some time sifting through books, sprawled out on the floor like a kid flipping through to look at the pictures. It was perfect for getting me in the mood for work.

I spent the rest of the afternoon at the Willow Glen coffee shop where I storyboarded for my Oliver Jeffers contest submission, sketched out more calendar illustrations, and devised christmas cards.

Today was productive & magical. I couldn't ask for more than that really. Now, to do the animatic. I'm on fire!

Consolidation

clearly means nothing to me. I have a journal/sketchbook for every occasion! Ok, ready to bounce & get work done... storyboards, xmas cards & paintings!

If the landscaped lawn wasn't enough, it opened up to a wilderness of awesome.

I loved this little girl. She was something out of my paintings.

Just taking a break from the festivities to play/nap in the playground.

After most of the guests cleared out, we ventured to the house's Man Cave. Eaaaaarrrrthquake pinball! No quarters necessary!
