Hey everyone, I know I have been MIA, and just wanted to say I am sorry. I am taking a small break from the blog and everything. I am in a pretty creative funk/slump right now.

If any of you out there who did read the blog are still checking it, I will be back at some point.

So today was pretty much a horrible day... Really all I was in the mood for when I got home was to watch a good movie, and I was in the mood for UP. Downside was it is also kind of a sad movie, not a mood helper.

None the less, I love the graphics for this movie. They have others they used that were more illustrative, but this is my favorite. 1 color (with the gradient) is all you need to convey the feeling of this movie. Also, it is pretty amazing the detail you can achieve with just that one color.

If you haven't seen the movie, check it out, great way to relax.

I popped over to etsy today to kill sometime and I was greeted by a page full of yellow. Although it was cool outside today, I can see i'm not the only one loving that spring is here. As well as just loving yellow lately.

If you haven't been to etsy yet, go check it out and find some great handmade presents for your family and friends (and as always you can buy one of my prints there too...)

Has it been sunny out for you? I know it has been here, and you can see that it has greatly affected my mood. The weather has been great, tomorrow it is supposed to be 70, and that means drinks on the balcony when I get home from work.

I went to etsy and typed in "sunny" and this is what I found. Want a way to spruce up your portfolio, stand out a bit? You'll stand out anywhere with this bright yellow case. Plus, can't beat a username like JohnTWalrus.

Enjoy your Friday, then it's the weekend!

The weather has been getting warmer here so last night I had the ambition to get the bikes out of the attic. Then I had an even greater ambition to ride my bike to work today. The ride went well except it is still quite brisk in the morning!

Now I just have to ride home, which is a greater feat. Since there is a giant hill between me and home, although much better then the hill on the way to work and therefore being really gross and sweaty.

Get out there an enjoy the weather!

I'm in kind of a blah mood today. Might be because it is Monday, or because it was gray out yet again today, or everything feels like it is stuck in a rut. Something's gotta change (although tomorrow is Tuesday, so that is a change!)

I did get my sand shaper in the mail today, super fast shipping (especially for free!) now I just need a beach to try them out on, I don't think i'll be testing it on snow this year...

So I know I have been slacking with the posts lately. I have been diligently working on a new website for  a local business here, and it is taking up a ton of my time at night. Add in we have the Mad Men season 1 dvds from the library right now, so we have been watching that as well. I promise quality posts coming up.

To pass some time, I recommend this old post, and read about some Clients from Hell . Your entire afternoon will just drift away.

New way to Comment!

Hey everyone. A bit of slack-daiquiri today. Burnt out in general from upgrading my computer and my actual desk (pics of the new one I made at some point) and being mad at the cable company. There will be a real post tomorrow.

But, I did change a few things in the code on the blog. There is now a link to add comments at the end of each post.  Previously there was only the link next to the little text bubble at the top of each post. It looked sleek, but thought maybe a lot of people didn't see it, and maybe didn't know they could comment. So, let me know you're out there every once in awhile. It also says who wrote the post, this is there so that if I ever expand the blog to be collaborative, you know who said what. Little upgrades here and there.

I apologize the ridiculously small image...

So, I need a hypothetical umbrella to get me out of the rain. Clients have been getting me down, and then the weather was supposed to be perfect this week, and is now crap. So a real umbrella would help too.

This was a shirt and art print on Threadless and all I wanted to do is post an awesome photo of it for all of you. They used to have a way to look at all of their shirts, even the sold out ones. I tried searching, but I guess it isn't keyworded with anything like rain, weather, umbrella, raindrop, etc... silly me. This was the only image I could find of it in google. I give up.
