Original Art...

I have SO much to post about the Comicon today, that I've decided to do it in sections - this might take me a couple posts.


So, I've decided to break up the posts into three categories... Original Art, Owly & The Con.
First up to bat is some original art that we acquired last year. I never posted it, and it's really fun! The First one is by Franco It's Aquaman swimming with some penguins and the one next to it is by Art Baltazar and it's Captain Marvel! Franco and Baltazar are co-creators of the Tiny Titans comic which I read every month... Aww Yeah Titans!
This Kermit was done By Amy Mebberson. She does comics for The Muppetts and Monsters, Inc. I bought a Monster's, Inc graphic novel from her and she threw in this sketch of Kermit the Frog for Free... It's not easy being green so she put him on Orange paper!












This is my beloved character Owly... I got this original art from his artist Andy Runton. Andy was so much fun to talk to but I will save that for the Owly Post. Here Owly is all tucked in with his friends Wormy and Snaily. Andy will draw whatever you want Owly to be... It's a killer deal!

The next few sketches are all Eric's ... well they're "ours" but Eric is the one who really loves this art. The first is Batman...

By : Dustin Nguyen who draws for "Batman Streets of Gotham ".

Here's a Captian Marvel by Derek Fridolfs who is an inker for Batman Streets of Gotham; but he enjoys drawing Captian Marvel as well.

The Next sketch is a Green Lantern Kilowog. It was drawn by Patrick Gleason who does Green Lantern Corps.
Now, here's a happy surprise... I stumbled upon these guys when looking for Eric and Lee. They wrote / created my favorite Halloween book; Dear Dracula.
Joshua Williamson & Vicente Navarrete were both at the booth, and I was so bummed that I didn't bring my Dear Dracula book!
Vincente was the artist of the two and he did a sketch of the vampire in the book for me for free!

Eric and I both agree it was one of the best of the day... especially for the price!
Here's the last sketch we got as we were walking out the door of the comicon; Wall-E by Derek Thompson. Derek was a story artist for the Wall-e movie, which is my favorite pixar movie... hands down.





We had a really great time! It was so awesome seeing art we love and seeing the people behind it!

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off.  This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it!  I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

8 Years Ago Today...

 8 Years ago today... I was in the Kent/Des Moines Park and Ride puking in the bushes because I was SO Nervous about my first day at KMS. I didn't know If I could hack it in the big city. I didn't know a thing about being a Receptionist, and I didn't even know what a Broker/Dealer was, but I swallowed the lump in my throat and decided to take it head on. I've learned SO MUCH - an Immeasurable amount of life and work lessons from my 8 years at KMS, and I could muse all day long about the Farm Fresh 22 year old you see to the left and how naive she was. KMS has given me a gift of balancing a work life and a home life and still being able to give my 110% when I'm at work without losing my balance. When I walked in the door this morning, my co-workers had created this celebration from me, and after they arrived, it got bigger with gifts, and notes, and cards, and decorations. They wanted to celebrate me, and my achievements here, though If they would have kn...
