I’ve been seeing a lot of mirrors lately. Mostly because all I’ve been working on for days is new fitting room prototypes.
Angled. Wall mounted. Suspended. Oversized. Displayed with a side of granite.
I’m basically becoming the Bubba Gump of mirrors.
But no one so far at work has suggested this one:
It’s official my brain needs this long weekend.

Sometimes your life can be like a fairytale, or sometimes it’s more like weird mystery show that Elvira hosts.
Well this week I was left responsible for cleaning out the fridge… and it felt like I was a character in the latter.
I was in the homestretch of cleaning out that sucker when I came to one particular item.
A simple innocuous tupperware.
Now it had been so long since I have seen this tupperware. I questioned what was inside it…
But it had been so lone since I’ve seen that tupperware like I previously stated it was too afraid.
Minutes after staring and swizzzling this little creature around,
I opened it.
And inside was really old olives.
And it wasn’t very scary after all.
That’s the whole story.

I’ve been on a cat doodling frenzy.
And since I get to see my cat for very few hours during the week. I think about what he’s doing. But with my imagination it’s always more extreme than the truth… he’s asleep somewhere.
So today during my work break time I made this little friend:
Also, this is how long it took for my new coworkers to find out that I illustrate. I in turn got a request, and I made a coworker a trophy doodle for having a very clean desk… and now that the doodle is on her desk, I think I may have ruined her record.
Any ways I hope everyone had a good mother’s day weekend. Whether you are an actual mother, have had a mother, or mother a few little pets.
Here’s to a good week.

Today on this glorious Cinco de Mayo I want to share a simple story.
My new work is amazing and offered delicious churros today. I being a churro enthusiast took full advantage of this. I may be exaggerating but I literally think all I ate was churros today. My coworker said I had the energy and enthusiasm of a chipper squirrel.
I think that is a good thing.
Anyways Happy 5th of May!
Also did you know that it’s Oyster day? I mean while you are throwing back some margaritas and Coronas you might as well throw some oysters your way too!
I’m going to recover from my sugar high now….

p.s.
sugar high induced second doodle about how I imagine Jimmy Cinco de Mayo’s
I wanted to thank all of you who voted for Veronica and my kitty creation. We made it to the top 25 of the competition out of 198.
We consider this a victory.
And I consider it like a “Silver Lining’s Playlist” kind of victory! Like I was jumping around the house looking like this:
It was our first try after all and to get that far just seemed like a dream. So seriously, thanks for even reading the blog!
And now on to a doodle… today is kinda grey here and well I’m feeling like such a winner it’s can’t even stop the sunbeams from following me.
So I made this to express my feelings about how happy I am:
I hope that your day is a little magical. Because I’m still jumping up and down here.

Okay I know I’ve been the worst updating but I’ve been doing artsy things… I promise!

The answer is drawing cats and constellations. I am currently working on a project with a lovely friend who is a wonderful artist herself.
Soon I will have a whole picture to this until then enjoy this rough draft I sent her to make her laugh:

What stays out all night and is Irish? Dad jokes.
Happy St. Patrick’s day! Have fun be safe and Wang Chung until you have to go to work tomorrow!
Some people are wild about sports.
Some people are crazy about fancy eateries.
Some people covet commercial jingles.
I personally delight in the 23 boastful flavors of Dr. Pepper!
I could drink it all the time. I fear that someday I will be discovered passed out with a case around me and a smile on my face.
Combine Dr. Pepper with my back pain pills and I may even laugh at Ashton Kutcher… or more honestly I will just sing Huey Lewis songs.
