Graffiti Mural in Highland Park

Look at these cute and perfect graffiti-style murals on the side of a building. I love finding unexpected gems in unusual places. The is on the side of Guerrero's Meat Market at 5541 York Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90042. The windows are his glasses! Squee!

Josh's gnome progress

Josh's gnome painting looks very different now. I wish you could see the layers of paint and the texture.

Nubs on a spiky plant!

Joanna is an excellent gardener. She likes succulents and unusual plants, like I do. If it looks alien weird, I like it. She recently repotted this plant, and it is happy. So happy that it has made tiny nubs around its base. New arms coming soon! Yay happy plant nubs!

Josh is such a talented artist. Here he is drawing Jim the gnome. I asked him how to get better at drawing. He said to basically keep drawing and experiment with different techniques. Once you get good at something, try to push yourself to the next level. He feels he does well when he is most relaxed and just flows. That makes sense, just keep practising till a technique becomes such a part of you, that it feels like you are not trying, but the art just flows out of your hand. Of course, Josh has been doing this a long time and he is just amazing. Amazing.

He made a nice picture of Jim and a plant pot but he has since covered it in a few layers of paint. he likes to paint right from the tube. It looks a little like finger painting. It was his birthday this past week. Happy Birthday Joshie!

Comic Con - San Diego - July 25

Have you ever been to Comic Con? It is quite an experience. I am not really a huge comic fan, but I love the carnival atmosphere with all the fans and fanatics dressed up. It's also a gathering of artists of every stripe. And you get free schwag!

Here's someone who knitted her whole Wonder Woman outfit! You can buy this pattern on etsy and knit one for yourself! You know you wanna!

And here is Rocket Boy. Who?? I don't know who he is either, but he was cute in his tight outfit. Check out his abs! I don't know why his friend is trying to strangle me. I didn't do anything to him/it.










The rest of the weekend was lovely. I relaxed at Joanna's house. Here is her family's new puppy, Dudley, eyeing my pig's ear pastry from Han's and Harry's. I don't blame him.

First Post - Hello!

I have been thinking about starting a blog for a while, and now I finally have the opportunity and motivation. I have had a lot of adventures lately, things I consider blog-worthy. So here goes!
