I've discovered a fun new concept- a painting party!!!

Today my inspiration for drawing is... Hippies and Hipsters. Gee, a lot of them smoke, huh?

Sometimes you just have to sketch.... For your viewing pleasure, my cat Hank (a.k.a. Dinkle)

Check it out, I put out bird seed (set it in the knot in the tree) and a Cardinal brought his fledgling son by. Here is a video of him feeding his fledgling:

They did it for HOURS after I took this video, the whole time the baby was going "Skwwwweee! Skweeeeeeee!!!"

I got a mention on Daniel's blog for Pilgrimizing Batman & Robin:

I wish I could charge $100 million for a logo! - I know a ton of research and development goes into these logos, and an expert team of designers, but I've read the hilariously silly pepsi creative brief that explains their thought process and it sounds like a fabulous way to sucker companies with too much money rather than a legit system. People who are not visually informed can be deer in headlights when it comes to a thing like a logo, so they can make the mistake of tossing money at it until it's good. I suppose that works, eventually! It's up to the designer and agency to be honest about their practices.

And, by the way, even though I hated the pepsi logo at first, it's actually not that bad. Secretly, I still drink it on occation.

Business Cards - it's great to look at those "amazing business card" lists, but what must those things COST?? Not practical.

Todays mind challege - using SimPE to make all the aliens in the game default into Vulcans. OK yeah, the nerdiest thing ever, but it's a good chance to stretch my learning muscle.
