Click through on each picture for the full info and order page. The first is a body modification themed 2009 weekly calendar book, and the second is an art calendar based on some of my favorite paintings that I’ve done on my own and with Nefarious. Thanks everyone for continuing to support my projects.
The first:
And the second:
Today was “snack day” for Nefarious at her school so we made some quick blueberry (and mini-kiss) muffins this morning, as well as a bowl of red grapes…
I’ve been pounding away at “The Opium Den” as well. Lining starts now, then I change the colors of anything that doesn’t look right, and finally treat it with a gloss coat — among other reasons, the paints I’ve used are of different gloss levels and transparencies and this will equalize it.
I got my t-shirts from Zazzle today in the mail, and am happy to report that I’m more than satisfied with the quality. There is a very slight ghost border because of the underlay, and the designs are bright and crisp and nice and large. The owl shirt and the Zentastic shirt are especially nice. You can click here to visit my t-shirt page and get some for yourself — ahem, they would also make a nice present!
I’ll have the calendar project posted in the next couple of days as well.
Other than that, I spent the day at the hospital getting news I really did not want to get, so Nefarious and I chilled out with a movie (Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron) and ate a double cheese and pineapple pizza that I made… On one hand I wanted to cancel because I really feel down about this medical BS — it really never seems to end — but tomorrow morning I have a meeting with a trainer friend at the gym to work out a new strength training regime that I hope will cheer me up.
Painting is going well also — I’ll post that tomorrow.
Below are photos of the actual shirts I received in the mail. As I said, I’m very happy with the quality and would recommend Zazzle to others thinking about printing shirts of their own designs.
I got myself an Olympus Stylus 1030 SW which is waterproof to thirty feet and shockproof. I picked it up for a snorkeling trip that Caitlin and I are taking, but today Nefarious and I tested it out in the pool — lots of fun! Among other things we put it on timer, set it on the bottom, and swam up to it for this first photo. More continue after the break.
Did I mention my sub-blog of “funny things Caitlin said today?”
S: You know, Obama would really have to mess up bad not to be a two-term President…
C: Yeah, like Clinton did at the end.
S: Huh? I don’t think Clinton blew it at all.
C: No, Lewinsky did that!
Wah-wah-waaaah.
I decided not to do my “Opium Den” painting in monochrome after all. Nefarious had a sleepover at a classmate’s, so I had some time to work on it this morning. Sorry, the picture is blurry so it’s a little hard to make out. Not much so far but you get the idea.
