just another day at the office...

but not just another blog! I have discovered my milk toof and the world of Lardee and ickle. Started by the awesomely creative Inhae, this blog follows the adventures of the two little guys above. She made the two teef from polymer clay and she paints them and can mold their faces into different expressions. The bottom line is that this blog is AWESOME and you should follow it! I've put some other clips of Lardee and ickle below to intice you even more!

yikes!

down time sometimes equals creativity

Lately at work, I've been having quite a bit of down time. Since starting at ON last October, I've gotten pretty good at using my tablet and stylus to work in Illustrator and Photoshop. Let me tell you, it is SOOOO much easier than using a mouse! Well, since the days have been a bit slow, I've been playing around in these same applications. I've taken to uploading a photo to Illustrator and then drawing on it. My first attempt was a straightforward one, simple clean lines. There's something I like a lot about the quality. It was fun to do, and think I might make posting a drawing a regular occurance, trying different techniques and effects. What do you think?
