Over the last few days it’s been snowing on and off and as of now we have a nice light covering over most things.  Yay!  I love the snow!  I know most people up here complain about it, but I really enjoy it.  It makes everything so pretty and I love being out in the cold, crisp air.  Do you live in a part of the world that gets snow?  If not, have you ever seen real snow?  I can’t imagine not having snow at some point in my year.  I think that would make me sad.

Since I’m putting together my own art folio (super close to done!) I decided to check out some other art folios and see what others are doing.  I found this fantastically cute one done by an artist in Montreal.

It was only $10 and it contained a lot of black ink drawings.  I wondered if I could/should do something like this.  I really like and it’s currently one of my favorites right now.  It really inspires me to check out others art.  Who knows what the future may bring!

So during the summer I stayed at a pretty ritzy hotel in Toronto.  Right by the elevators was this painting.  It’s of a very tall slender dress.  Or, that’s what most others might see.  Not me though.  I totally see a vagina.  Do you see it too?

You’re welcome. ^_^

Okay, so I’m hooked again.  I’ve picked up Pokemon X to try and expand my Pokemon collection.  I still have Pokemon White and White 2, but I’ve yet to play the sequel.  I’ve been playing, evolving, breeding and grinding to try and collect all the Pokemon I can.  Not just all of them… but ever evolutionary form and every alternate sex version (some look different based on sex).  I know it’s a lost cause.  I’ll never complete this task, but still I march on.  I currently have over 400 Pokemon in White alone.  Once I play White 2, I’ll gather all the ones I can out of there too.  Then I’ll transfer my collection over to X and expand it again.  Sigh… It’s a sickness and I don’t think there is a cure.

This is mouse number 4.  So far if would seem that I have a whole trove of mice sleeping in my walls.  I might be drawing mice for a looonnngggg time.

We let go mouse number 3 today.  How many more do my wall hold? o_O
