Cat and Dog

>



 I am having some computer monitor problems around here (I'm working on an temporary CRT right now) so I thought I'd post some cute animal pictures in the meantime. My mom's new puppy, Jackson and my cat Herman. He looks kind of mean in the last picture, but he is so sweet and just telling me politely that he would like some food now ;)

2013

 Some sparklers, lit at midnight on New Years Eve. We spent the days following lounging around, hanging out a bit with family and friends. I am hoping it sets the tone for the rest of the year.

Recently watched Bones Brigade, LOVED IT.

Babble listed me in their Top 50 Etsy Parents a few months back, pretty cool :)

Strange Plants

 A couple more strange plants for the shop. I made them about a month back but am just now getting around to putting them in the shop.

I was lucky enough to go to Art Basel in Miami this weekend! Once I get my pictures organized I will try and get some up here.

Lion

 A new lion for the Herman Marie shop, I think he's pretty cute.




The tree pillow is made by the lovely satsuki shibuya :)

Beach Trip

 My absence from this space  has been due to a very rough time as of late. Two months ago to the day, I lost my dad. Our family is a close-knit one and this has left us all a bit lost, struggling to find our way back to a new normal. I don't normally get personal here, but I felt wrong moving forward without mentioning such a big thing. It has given me such empathy, knowing there are so many people carrying their losses with them.

 Theses photos were taken at the beach on my Dad's birthday. He missed it by just a few weeks.

 I am excited to be back here though, creating new things. I will try to follow this post with some new art, I need the pressure of some sort of deadline. And a new camera (still in the box) needs to be tried out :)

 

New plants

A new plant for the Herman Marie shop, a nice match to the one from last week. Can't seem to get enough of the mustard yellow, pink and black combination.

Another thing I can't seem to get enough of: the new xx album, Coexist.

Pink Plant and Mint Hearts

Two new designs for the Herman Marie shop.
