Bulletin Boards at the Library - Bees and Bunnies oh my.

Ninja party

Sometimes we need to just doodle silly things.

Bulletin board at the libary

Awhile back, a library staffer came up to me with, 'You are crafty, aren't you?'

Present for my niece!

Darwin T!

Darwin t shirt design!!!!

It is awesome to have your work used. It is most exciting. Why does Darwin make me think of dodo birds? He worked with finches. No worries, dodo birds are awesome. I saw a taxidermied one once, it was neat.

At the auction house that I've been working out, we had a science and technology show, and I got to move around a bunch of sextants. They are even more awesome in person.

Chiharu and Shinya's wedding

My old roommate just got married! Congrats!  (Omedetou!) She asked me to help with an insert for the invitation and a welcome board. We don't really have welcome boards here in the US, but it is such a neat idea. I had a lot of fun with these designs! Luckily I didn't have to deal with the printing and they let me send files in pretty standard American sizes. Trying to combine Christmas and tropical Okinawan weather was a fun challenge. In Japan, snow men only have two parts and it turns out Christmas is more of a date night.

There are so many awesome elements that never made it to the final files. One of which is a variant with a cute temple with some Okinawan shisa (Okinawan lions).

summer at the new house

Playing around with textures again in Flash.

This is a good summary of the summer, Jon playing video games inside and myself out in the yard battling overgrown weeds and vines. It will be nice to see what the yard will be like come fall. 

a very merry yumbirthday to me

It is that time of year again.

3c banners

Here is last semester's banner made for my Japanese Class' blog 3cjournal.blogspot.com. This was a tiny class. Just 4 of us and sensei.

And here is the new one for the new fall semester. We have 5 new students! My design got much more shiny and busy this semester it seems.

Here are my submissions for the coloring book.

8 bit wedding save the date

Seems like anytime I open up Flash nowadays it is for someone's wedding.
Some friends of mine thought about having an 8 bit wedding, but ultimately changed their minds. This idea was originally for them, but I modified it when they gave it the ax.

Another Wedding Card!

Howl's Moving Castle

Been thinking about Hayao Miyazaki's movies lately. Mostly thinking that they are stunningly beautiful and engaging.
Howl's Moving Castle is a great one. This movie originated from a well loved series of books by a British author, Dianne Wynne Jones, as it turns out. I should be focusing on freelance, but oh how I love distraction. Made this flash silhouette illustration.

8 bit wedding card

Wedding card for some gamer friends! Even found a way to tie in some retro bit game references! Ghost and Goblins (Story is Happy End), Dragon Quest (Command?) and Ghostbusters (Congraturation) made the final print. I originally thought a Mario Bros. 'The princess is in a different castle' text block varient would be nice, but went a different route in the end. :)

When people at my old job leave, they make these awesome illustration collage posters. Here are my recent submissions.

Sewn Painting for Nichole and tote bags

Lately, I've been making lots of tote bags. Like these in the
attached photos. Most of these either sold in the MassArt holiday sale or became holiday gifts for my family. But one of my friends did not want a tote bag for the holiday, so instead I used all the scraps from sewing to make a collage fabric painting for her.
