Bow Master Murru
Having been taken by a bit of insanity, I volunteered to pair up with a communication design major to illustrate an article for a magazine they create every year. It's a project usually reserved for illustration juniors, but we have less illustrators than we do designers, so they recruit some seniors. I had a pretty stressful time with the project last year, so I wanted to prove that it could go down easier this time around. I'll post the whole article once I get a copy of the finished product, but for now here's a spot that ended up getting cut.

Metropolis
We had a project to create some illustrations for coffee bags while still keeping with Metropolis' existing identity. I had some big ups and downs while making these, but I'm happy with the outcome. Granted, I'm still considering a couple things... bumping my Thai girl over to the right more, and tweaking one so Argentina and Thailand don't have quite that same yellow... maybe. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUyAmUgEeojCCq9cLZ8wE_ZmOpzJ_VuWLaplrjUbBbduSBTtWCQWjKd_6GgCObbu9gIIsgpoVHWYWqplczI8sFksR5kH-fFllp6HHV_ADhebUb3hJA9RzCMbOOl42grFxkMxByApSUC2O7/s400/Picture+2.png)

I Heart: The Circus
I've always loved the design aspects of the circus- the fancy type, the bright colors with a tinge of dirty and hay, and the ability to pack and move from place to place all nomad style (if only I were so organized). Check out this cool stuff, boys and girls:
I love how the kitty looks so petrified. (from etsy seller busterandboo)
Dark Cycle Clothing does a bunch of neat biking animal designs. Until I see a cute kitty, though, this fly on a unicycle is at the top of my list.
I originally saw this kick ass circus tent ring on the blog Greedy Girl. Unfortunately, it only comes in size 6 1/2 (what nonsense!) and I don't think I'd want to wear such a chunkerific ring on my pinky.
(In case you don't have kitten tail fingers like I do and are looking to drop fifty-two buckeroos, it also comes in red.) (by Old Gold Boutique)

Kitty Freaks
As many of you know, my kitty Eileen is a tripod-kitty (she is sans one front leg). When I told my parents about my plan for my senior thesis (animals as sideshow freaks) my mom suggested I go look at pictures of four-eared kitties. Eileen (and Norm) are cute and all, but man, if I ever see a kitty at the shelter with four ears, it is so coming home with me. Here are some of my new friends; aren't they awesome?

Decadent Dex
I cannot get enough of these Dexter posters from Ty Mattson. One for each season. They're reminding me of my love for Saul Bass, hardcore.

Get Your Quilt On
I don't think I've ever wanted to quilt more in my life than after seeing this ah-mazing piece on Sherri Wood's blog. I can't wait to see it finished!
