Out of Context Pt. 2

People say weird things... particularly at work. Sometimes on purpose, sometimes as part of widely-accepted Corporate-speak and sometimes because they are just weird. Here is a sampling, taken completely out of context, as illustrated by me :o)

Self-explanatory? Mmm, not really.

Creepy in so many ways. But really... what is wrong with that woman's eyebrows?

Yes! Breathe that Corporate bureaucracy in! Ahhhh! To be fair, these words have definitely crossed my lips in the past so can't be too hard on people. In part three... we'll take my mom's weirdness totally out of context. Stay tuned!

Sharpie Pen Love

As previously mentioned, Kevin was nice enough to give me some new Sharpies for Christmas. One pack was of these colored Sharpie pens. Sharpie pens are like the chocolate-covered-pretzel-marshmallow-chocolate of pens. That's how much I love them. A lot.

They are great for doodling during staff meetings... :o) But they aren't as expensive as the Micron pens I usually use for drawing and have pretty similar results. Here's what I drew last night:

Block Prints Gone Digital

Woohoo, I have to keep this short because it's been a long day of "real life" work, additional "real life" work on top of work, grad school scariness and Declaration of You worksheet-filling-out. I just wanted to share the patterns I created with my block printing experiment over the weekend.

I love navy and white  as evidenced by my blog's design duh. Make sure you click this one so you can see the funky block printing mistakes details.

Next I tried to incorporate some colors from another design. In theory (maybe totally not based in reality because this is just something I'm inferring) if I want to make a line of fabrics, papers, pillows, dog costumes, there has to be a cohesive color theme thingie (lots of things around here are "thingies," I guess I need learn some of the vernacular). So I recycled the color from my beloved dot from two weeks ago.

So there ya go! I can't wait to start working on some other patterns using this method... as soon as I'm done with all this other stuff...
