Auction Results
One of the most surprising moments of the evening was seeing Pretty Much LiQi Designs in print for the very first time. I wasn't aware that all the contributors would be listed in the program and was stoked to see myself there. A toast to many more, eh? ;)
My next project is near and dear to my heart which in turn has made me terrified of it. I'm doing a painting as a gift...and I'm copying a picture. Something I haven't done in awhile...in fact...I don't know if I've ever done it in paint. So...it's been a struggle. I painted one night and then have avoided that corner of the bonus room all week. I'm going to see if I can coax myself back in there tonight. I am not strictly sticking to the picture and am allowing myself room to be creative and add my own spin to the piece. So it really shouldn't scare me. But gifts consisting of my own work always scare me. Pictures to follow!

Return
I am back from vacation and it was by far the best vacation I've ever had. EVER. We spent a little over a week in Florida, went to all 4 Disney Parks, saw Cirque Du Soleil, went to Gatorland, the Kennedy Space Center, and just to reminisce and bring up old memories from when I was 14, toured Teen Missions International. It was by far the best trip I've ever been on and with the best company possible; my husband.
I'm back and have been all week. It's been a long week, trying to get back into the working groove while my husband John has another week off (lucky!!) and I am glad it is Friday. Bought some canvases for future paintings the other night. Nothing new yet but hopefully I'll have time this weekend to start something. In the meantime, here is the FINISHED Pink Lady. The outdoor lighting makes her look much redder than she is. She is much pinker in real life.

The Pink Lady
I have been running around like a chicken with my head cut off...but somehow I've survived and am about to embark on a very much needed vacation to Disney World. YEAH! But before I do...must share. I may have mentioned I am donating some robots to an auction that is coming up. I also decided to donate a painting. Funny thing is I didn't have a finished painting that I was ready to part with (or an unfinished painting I'd be willing to part with). Midweek I realized...they were due today, Friday. And I hadn't even started on the robots or anything. Yeah. Panic. I somehow scrounged some creative energy together and got the robots done. The painting took around three hours over the course of two nights. I am amazed at how fast it got done and how much I like it. So much so that I don't want to give her up. But...I made a commitment. So I will just have to take some nice photos of her before she goes. She is called 'The Pink Lady.' And I adore her. I also feel like I finally figured out my painting style in the process. So she and I are good friends. What do you think? She is unfinished in this photo. I will post more when I take them of the finished product.
Okay. Off to Disney World! Well...in a few hours.

Treasury
My commie robot was featured in an Etsy Treasury and I could not be more flattered. The Chinese themed treasury fits it perfectly! With the flood of reds and tigers for this year's Chinese Zodiac animal, it truly makes me home sick. I need to get back there soon. To view the Treasury, click here. No new robots yet but I have some ideas that are underway and am very excited to see how they turn out.

Communist Robots March On
I just wanted to announce that the ever-talented Jack Fallows of Crumpettimecomics has put the Viva La Robolution print up in his Esty shop for public consumption!! Yes, I know. I can barely contain my excitement. Especially since I JUST ordered my very own print of it. YAY!! His print and my communist robot were a collaboration in celebration of how well robots and communist propaganda go together. Don't you agree? Expect some more communist robots up soon...and hopefully more collaborations!

Today, the purple and turquoise robot troupe went up in the Etsy Shop! Go give them a gander!

Robots and Communism
Voila! What goes together better than Communism and Robots? That's right. Peanut butter and jelly. But OTHER than peanut butter and jelly, nothing goes together better than Communism and Robots! It just makes sense. Big Brother would be all over it! Especially ones this cute. Check these commie bots out in the Etsy Shop!
