New Bike

I’ve been waiting to post this for awhile!

A month or so ago, my bike was stolen. I loved my bike. It was my transportation, recreation, and source of joy, so I was pretty devastated. And times have been tough (student loans) so it was going to be difficult to get new one, at least right away.

And then my amazing incredible friends pitched in and surprised me with enough money to get a new one. I can’t thank them enough, and I love this new bike even more than the stolen one (which is saying something!)

This illustration is for them.

The latest sketchbook. It’s a Pentallic Pocket Sketch: affordable, nice paper, has a pocket and a ribbon thing.

For a second I was wondering who this was. Then I saw that pencil case and figured it out.

Hey all of you Twin Cities Tumblr folks! 

We’re opening our brand new doors and having a gallery show! The featured artwork includes a bunch of patterns, but a whole lot of our other artwork too. For more details, you can read about it on our blog. Hope to see you there!

P.S. Spread the word!

My motto!

True. Did we ever figure out what that means?

Know what this is? This is the shiny golden key to this.

Lake Effect Snow on Earth

Explanation: What are those strange clouds stretching out from these lakes? The clouds are caused by cold air moving over a warm water and result in bands of lake-effect snow. The rising bands of moistened, warmed air that drop lake-effect snow alternate with clear bands of falling cold air. During a winter, such bands can create hundreds of centimeters of snow more than upwind areas only a hundred kilometers away. 

YEEESSSSS.

Sometimes I forget I have a cat.

Been watching too much Fringe or something.

Present from my amazing (and generous!) uncle: subscription to Cook’s Illustrated! I have desired this magazine for so long. Look at that back cover. Chart of limes.

I will be reading these cover to cover.
