Hi all- a very long, long time no see!!
It’s
been quite the year. I’m rather depressed about the state of the world,
but I’ve been very fortunate to have good things happening in my
personal life.
My
husband Dave and I spent the first half of 2017 hunting for, bidding
on, and finally purchasing a house, and then of course moving and
settling in (the latter process is still happening and probably will be
for some time).
The
house is in L.A. county,
albeit the very northwestern edge. We went from our Hollywood,
city-centric apartment to extreme suburban living in one fell swoop -
instead of hipsters and walking-distance bars and restaurants, we now reside
in The Land of Big Box Stores and strollers - but on the flip side, it’s
a 30-minute drive south through the mountains to Malibu & the
Pacific Ocean. The house itself is wonderful - old school
craftsman-style, with a beautiful backyard, wood beams in the living
room, and an original stained glass window in the dining room. It took
me some time to adjust to homeowner life, but I’ve been embracing the
new normal lately.
I’ve
also been fortunate to have a great art year. For those of you active
on Instagram, I post fairly regularly there and have made my account
art-centric (no personal photos). Here is some of my personal work that I hadn’t posted on the blog quite yet.
I
also finally, FINALLY completed a new professional concept art
portfolio for character and prop design, and I took it to CTN Animation
Expo two weeks ago. More on that in the next post...
