Morning/ afternoon friends.
How are you guys and gals doing?
This week i did a interview with the Great Blog, Pony Ryder.

Thank God For Saturdays.

Wow! This was a L-O-N-G week.
I've been working so much with not too much sleep....
but i love Saturdays. My family has a new ritual this year for Saturdays.
We spend the morning getting bagels and going to Pete's for coffee and sit and talk.
Then we go home and hang out and watch movies.
It's so so so nice, so therapeutic.

Well, the picture i posted is this poster i did a little while back for my friend in Texas Miss Sarah Jaffe. She is one of the most brilliant musicians i've heard.
She just came out with her first official Ep, "Even Born Again". I ordered it and it arrived two days ago... and seriously, it's all i ever want to listen to from now on.
She is so smart, clever, with the greatest senses of humor, and her voice is one of my all time favorite voices.
Her music is the most sincere sounding music you will hear. It is as though she has lived a hundred life times and seen and experienced everything a person could, and she writes with that kind of knowledge. She can do all this, and she is in her early 20s. i think she is going to be huge!
Please check her out and support here music.

Need Some Help.

Hey friends,
I know i've mentioned this a few times.... but i need some help naming my Sketchbook.
i'm a heart beat away from its completion, and i still am not sure what to call it.
i would love to hear your ideas.
If you don't know what Sketchbook i'm talking about, click Volume 1 to see some drawings out of Volume 1 (the first 100 drawings) and Click here to see some drawings out of Volume 2 (101- 200 drawings) and to see all postsClick here .
Take a look through the books and see why i started them.
And seriously, it would mean a lot if you all could help.
Thanks!
Happy Friday.

I seriously just died

Good Morning Friends.
I have to make this post quick.
I'm at work again today....
haven't had much time to work on making those Wallpapers...
was out late for my friend Will's birthday,
and woke up at 5 this morning and made these Wallpapers for you.
It's just a start; hope you like them. :)
Happy Friday! How's it going for you?
Also, if there are any Wallpapers in particular that you want, let me know.
OH! and lastly, i realized i hadn't put the Marc Jacobs collection as print to vote for....
so it's up now, so if that is something you would want vote here
Have a great day!

so you see... i have this love for shoes

Lisa Place Laying in Lace

So i just had the best bowl of chili and garlic bread for lunch and now i feel great!
Work is going pretty well.... but here's that drawing i was talking about in the previous post.
It's from the blog Lisa Place .
The picture was quiet lovely and very expressive,
and she was wearing lace, which is something i've been needing to work on,
so it seemed like a perfect combo.
Hope you like it and hope everyone's having an amazing day!

P.S. i'll have some wall papers hopefully later tonight when i get home.

198 + 199

Wow, the title looks like a math equation. hahaha.
Well, let me finish it. {198 + 199= 1 more to go} haha
Wow! That was a cheezy joke... oh, well...
Today i'm going in to work...
which means i'm dressed and up earlier than the norm.

Oh! to all the very lovely people who were nice enough to ask if they could commission me to do a portrait...
I really feel bad i haven't been able to get back to you yet.
i've been swamped, but don't worry, i plan on getting back to each and every one of you as soon as i can.

Also about the Desktop Wallpapers... i should have a bundle of Wallpapers for you...
i've been working on drawing ornate things, so i did a drawing last night of lisa in lace.
i'm going to post it later hopefully...
Well, off to work to pay the bills.
