Three day slumber party
May 2008 by Latrina

I haven’t been able to do much lately, especially anything art-wise. My sister developed a kidney infection a few nights ago and so I’ve been keeping my niece for the past three days. We had a blast but she tired my ass out. She’s 9mo now and is crawling everywhere which means I’m chasing her around everywhere. :P

I have been a little productive though. I bought 12 of the 15 canvas panels and am now putting frame hangers on the back. I love those things, makes everything so much easier. :D I apparently bought out all the canvases Walmart had and now have to wait to get the last three. I can probably start without them, I hope. I’m so anxious to finish it. In the meantime, I’ve been spending a lot of time with Chris now that he’s on summer vacation. :) We’re about to head out to Kohl’s and Target, my aunt is having a pool party next week and so we need to pick up a few things.

Ah, before I forget — I uploaded three sketches to my artfolio and have plans to add a few others here soon.

New stuff for the wins.
May 2008 by Latrina

The past week has been so hectic. Chris and I spent a whole day going through the attic. We plan to have a yard sale one weekend and so now we have boxes of stuff in the garage waiting for a new owner. I also sold my old computer, desk, and printer for $300 — pretty cheap, but I sold it to my sister so I gave her a nice discount. 300 was plenty — It helped paid for my new desk, which I’m loving. It blows my old desk out of the water. I’m going to buy some desk organizers soon for all my art materials and whatnot. :)

I’ve also been working hard to get my artfolio up and after so many mess-ups and headaches, I think it’s finally done. I have 8 categories and over 15 different works. I have so much more to add but thats for another day.

I’m also thrilled to announce I’m launching my new design studio, May Studios. Back in 2004, I started selling layouts and I had a blast. I had so many clients & enjoyed working with so many cool people. So I decided to start it up again. I have mostly premades at the moment but I’m always willing to make customs. This should be fun.

At the moment, I’m so drained. I’ve been moving boxes, taking apart computers, and not to mention building my new desk. I’m looking forward to next week, Chris has a few days off. Yay! But tonight I’m just going to rest it up and spend the evening with my little niece.
