mc pee pants

By Laurie

Last week was pretty damn busy. We went to Exit/In for my birthday and saw mc chris. Yes! Finally! I had a freakin’ great time, even though the dive booked 2 openers in addition to chris’ opener. He was not pleased, omg, I think he fired his promoter too […]

Dante and his Infernal Squawk

By Laurie

Dante has been with us a week now. We picked him up at the airport last Thursday and he has been quite the addition! He was rather stressed the first few days, not eating much and being defensive. Since then, he has eaten much more, allowed us to pet his back and […]

Have Bird, Will Travel

By Laurie

I’m so goofy.
Dante comes home tomorrow! I’m so excited, and have so much to do! I’ll be putting together some birdie food today for the next week or so and hope we have a fine time adjusting overall. Susie Christian and Lisa have been just so nice and helpful about all of […]

Dante

By Laurie

I couldn’t think of a witty post name for this.
Dante is currently residing in California with Miss Susie Christian. He’s a cute lad with pretty green feathers coming in! I think his tail is just adorable.
Dante is an eclectus parrot, specifically an Aruensis Red-Sided Eclectus parrot. Eclectus parrots intrigued me several years […]

Oh hai, u like fethers?

By Laurie

The past few months have been calm and collect. Spring is here and that makes me a happier person. Tons to do around the house, because of this. I have to figure out how to plant things. CRAZY. Nothing terribly new is going on, really. Today is “birthday week” […]

Gallery:New(old) additions

By Laurie

Since our move, I’ve found some older art that I had both forgotten I’d done and never uploaded. Most of them are not that great, but hey, they’re nostalgic! There’s 4 paintings and 2 marker works.

Recent Lea

By Laurie

I gotta say, the last four months have been interesting. I’m not sure what’s going on with “Laurie”, so much as I know what’s going on around me. Dragon*Con was great and I still have to get the pictures off my camera… I lost the cable in the move somewhere. Grargh.
Unfortunately, I […]

More shading and time to decide..

By Laurie

When I set out to color this piece, I knew two things: the figure was a redhead and she would wear blue pants. I may have had more ideas when I DREW it. It IS an old sketch, so… yeah, I forgot the rest! So, some colors, at this point, were decided […]

Next steps..

By Laurie

I spent a few hours on this today, trying to finish my flats and start on some shading basics. My tablet is being a pain in the ass, for some reason so I didn’t get a whole lot completed. In fact, somehow, one of my flats groups got deleted, so I had to […]

Artwork? Me!?

By Laurie

Gah, yeah, well…
I hadn’t picked up my tablet in quite a while, now, and since I had to wrangle up some logo love for a relative, I dusted my tablet off.
Today, I decided to rescan an old piece of artwork and get back into the groove with some practice. I’ll be posting updates to […]

Secrets and Sweden

By Laurie

Okay, so Funcom has announced “The Secret World“… after cute little puzzles surfacing on the ‘Net were solved. I’m happy to see this project moving forward, to say the least. Age of Conan is just around the corner, afterall, having another game on the burner is a good thing. Though, for those […]
