I have never outgrown cartoons.

What do you get when you mix the Director of Spongebob Squarepants, the Writer of the Fairly Odd Parents and the Vocal Stylings of Amy Poehler? The Awesomest cartoon EVER!!! Behold: The Mighty B.

Cracks me up every time!! Makes me want to get cable!! Will buy previous episodes ASAP!! Can't stop laughing...

Maybe I'm just really tired, but dang! It's a funny show!

Art

Who am I kidding? I'm not going to be able to feel my legs for a while...

"Someone" (who obviously doesn't like to be mentioned by name in my blog) at work didn't know that I used to be an art major in college... So here are some samples of my "work" from over the years. Stay tuned because I might post more... I may actually post on Flikr as well, once I get through cataloging them all.

This is actually my most recent... I just finished it on Saturday (between conference sessions)... BTW, stay tuned for a post about GenCon 179...


This was done in my painting class. I love the eye-buzz you get from the orange and blue striped chair (you have to focus on where the colors meet - sorry the pic is a little fuzzy!).


This is from my drawing class, on of my personal faves.


This is a Photoshop digital collage. I scanned in all the images and then mixed them together.


This was done in Illustrator (which I've totally forgotten how to use). It's called "Elements."


It's a shame that I feel like some of my best work was done in my life drawing class (live nudes). Because I know several people would be offended at seeing those drawings, I won't post them, but here is one self-portrait (not that well done, honestly, but I really like how the eyes turned out)...


...and this one is an abstract with some graffiti-ish styled markings. I love this one!


Here's a few from High School!

I don't know why I love this one so much, but it has always been one of my favorites!! I used Green as the "Highlighting" and Purple as the "Shadowing" - I just love it!! :)


I copied this from a picture in a magazine... I replaced her hair (dreadlocks) with color stripes.


And last, but not least, this is one I did in 4th grade, one of the oldest "pieces" I still have. There used to be a little white ribbon under the gold sticker - which meant I got an "honorable mention." This picture reminds me of my dad... :)

Boot Camp!

I signed up for a boot camp exercise program through a chiropractor I know... I was hoping it would be more camp than boot... I was mistaken. It is definitely more boot than camp. But I guess that's a good thing - I need a good "boot" to get me jump started on my whole personal improvement (I almost said "progress" heeheeheehee) thing I'm trying to do. I will post again when I can feel my legs...
