so, i was dyeing niles' hair black this weekend, and there was some hairdye left over. i realized i had a decision to make, either i could use it to put some black streaks in my hair, or, conversely, i could NOT put streaks in my hair. really, i don't see how i had much of a choice. my hands were tied.



in other news, i was once told that i dye my hair so often that it's lost all meaning.

i'm done with the fathead portraits!! here's the last of them, my finished one and sutton's:



phew. :)

my new years resolutions:

stick to the shortpants release schedule. if we manage to make all those deadlines, we'll have a healthy little library of work to show off.

redesign my portfolio site and get listed on altpick or ispot. then get a job or two doing commercial illustration and maybe a gallery show.

ride 100 miles on my bike. i know it sounds hard, but i have until september and i'm working out a training schedule. :)

saturday night i had a dream involving the king of all cosmos from we heart katamari.



now niles says i'm not allowed to play katamari for a few days.

les annonces:

the boy gave me a pretty necklace and a subscription to bust for christmas. exactly the right combo of old-school romance and 21st century enlightenment. *swoon*. plus, he doesn't mind that i've been playing the crap out of the present i gave him. i think i'll keep him. :D
