Cactus in Pastels

Ah my young budding artist. I love his work (biased, nah, not me – never), the problem is that he NEVER brings it home because he thinks it isn’t “good enough”. Magically, I found this in his backpack this morning and wanted to share it with the world. Not to bad for a 9 year old, eh? See William’s Art Gallery

Damn! I was all psyched about my new tumblr blog – now I learn I can’t import RSS feeds to it? That’s WHACK! A great big WTF, tumblr? No point in bitching about what you can’t change. Going to move everything over to WordPress. Sorry tumblr.

Why Everybody Gotta Look Like A Hooker?

Leah — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 21:22:00 +0000

So I’m looking for a silhouette of a woman from behind and looking through a database of stock photography… Me: Why Everybody gotta look like a hooker? Ron: You look like a hooker? Me: No. The women on my screen look like hookers. Ron: (much too hopeful) Why are you looking at women on your screen? You feeling randy? Me: No jackass. It’s for work. Ron: Oh. (looking at my screen) Me: See? Why everybody gotta look like a hooker?

Getting Noticed is Better than Coffee (or maybe I should have better self-esteem about my Hunger Games fan-art)

Leah — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 23:15:00 +0000

You just have to love when others appreciate what you do. It totally makes up for the crappy morning where I ran out of coffee filters so I didn’t get my morning cup of java and the shitty afternoon where no matter how fast I work I just keep running out of time.
