I am an Ali Hazelwood Fangirl
Her latest book, Bride, about vampires and werewolves, is a departure from her usual science-themed work but also not because her signature skill in character development runs throughout and that’s what I love about her books. After reading it on the Libby app/Kindle, I ordered a hardcover copy for my collection. I missed out on […]
March TBR List
Did I read everything from my Jan/Feb TBR list? Of course not, but that didn’t stop me from adding a few more creative books and graphic novels / comic books to my collection.
My Jan/Feb Design TBR List
The theme is color. I recently added three color books after seeing one of them pop up in my Threads feed. It’ll be fun and interesting to learn about the histories and stories behind color, how it’s applied in different ways and the psychology of it in terms of user experience. Hopefully, I’ll be able […]
My Pokemon Fanart Workspace
This is where all the Pokemon fanart is created. The table is the Ikea Jokkmokk kitchen table which I’ve had forever – it comes with 4 chairs! Anyhow, there’s a pile of Crayola construction paper within easy reach and the kiddo divided the Crayola crayons into two containers when one is sufficient, but toddler minds […]

Happy 2024
It’s a new year and here are a few updates… So, January is off to a pretty good start…other than this flu I caught on Christmas which still has not released me from its clutches.
André 3000 on new creative pursuits
“Even now people think, Oh, man, he’s just sitting on raps, or he’s just holding these raps hostage. I ain’t got no raps like that. It actually feels…sometimes it feels inauthentic for me to rap because I don’t have anything to talk about in that way. I’m 48 years old. And not to say that […]
Afternoon Drawing Session
This is supposed to be a bok choy. i like how the colors turned out. All of this is courtesy of making art with the kiddo this afternoon which was really nice…and, much needed. However, for two seconds I was paralyzed — I couldn’t put the crayon to paper because I didn’t know what to […]
“Macaroni Cheese” by Young Posse
This song has me in a chokehold.
