I'm not very talented as an illustrator, but I'd love to have little icons for each of the main tags on my blog so when I post about that topic, a cute little image pops up alongside it. I want to host an illustration contest for any of you skilled fine art folks out...
I've always wanted to write in wet cement, which is why it was on my official Bucket List. They've been doing a lot of construction near Joe's house lately, and it seemed like we always just missed the stage where it was wet! One day, Joe left the house to run an...
Happy Wednesday, you gorgeous human! How is your week going? I hope you're having fun and being productive. This weekend, Cristen and I are going to be selling our art (and crafts) in our tent at a Baltimore street festival called Hampdenfest. If you're local, I'd...
