September, boy did you do a number on me!

I've been going through ALOT this month: A great personal loss. Surprise dogs. School. And far too many other things I don't wanna get into on here.
This is my happy place.

Meet Buster!
My lil' guy. My pumpkin pie. My dad just brought a random animal home this month, and after my last pet passed I felt really apprehensive about having another. I've really taken to him though. He's a real sweetie and his vengeance for squirrels is unparalleled.

I campaigned really hard for the name Beans cause he's part Beagle (idk) and if I ever get a Dachshund I could name it Weenie...so "Beans and Weenie" Har har har, I need to get a life.

I've started a new comic with my buddy. It spawned from my apprehension about college tests and science and love of post apocalyptic scenarios, oh and records. For every good score something good happens to the main character for every less than savory score something bad happens. I'd love to share it on the blog at some point.

I got some goodies in the mail!

What have you guys been up to? I have a few posts queued so expect to hear from me soon.

* I don't know what it is, but I find hiphop/ rap instrumentals are really soothing to draw to. If you like I could make a playlist with some of my favorites.

I tried to pool all of my energy into my comic today. It's almost done! Its been I while since I've conceived an idea and seen it through to the end. Oh my god, it's exhausting, but very rewarding. It would've been done sooner had I not taken so many breaks.

It's not amazing, but it's mine, yah know? It was a very therapeutic process and even though this is very personal I'm hoping others will enjoy it! Here is a sneeeeak peak at some of the stuff that'll be in the booklet/comic/zine/manifesto (too much?).

I'm too tired to beautify it, but you get the gist? There will be more pictures when I'm finished/done obsessing over irrelevant details :). I'm also working on including a little something extra special for those who purchase the book.

See yah soon!

I don't do too much talking

The week in review.

Plaid Girls' Club

Oh god, that title sounds like a Macy's Uniform ad :-(

So uhhhhherrrm yeah. It may be a bit early for most folks, but in Georgia, kids are already in school/headed back to school! Including yours truly (begrudgingly of course).


One thing I've always wanted was the perfect little school girl uniform, complete with plaid skirt, crisp blouse, knee highs, and Mary Janes/ saddle shoes. Of course, now that I am technically a *cough* adult *cough* it seems a bit strange...

I have yet to find the perfect little plaid ensemble, but here's a few images that have inspired me to take this look on:

Back to school and plaid...I know how wholly original :-p In other news:

I've taken to queuing posts more often! Well, not entirely by choice, but because I have no time for anything until the weekend :-( I'm writing a guest post for Vintage Fee that should be up some time with in the next two weeks. I'll add a link when that happens. Also, this is my first time using Polyvore for a collage. I'm not 100% sold. It is more efficient and organic looking than MS Paint (which is what I've used in the past).
