tiny toons

Thanks to a combination of DirectTV and boredom, one night the boy and I found out (I decline to use the word "discovered" because this has probably been going on for awhile, and "discovering" implies being the first one to know in my mind) that good cartoons are back! Oh the days of Doug (the good one), Rocko's Modern Life, Angry Beavers, Ah Real Monsters... the list goes on. They ended long ago and were replaced by bad flash and imports from Japan (some good, some bad).

[EDIT: how could I not mention FOSTER'S HOME FOR IMAGINARY FRIENDS?!?!?! Thanks Alli! This one is the exception to the rule. It's so good!]

But there are some new kids on the block! The first one is Chowder, which I like because it combines cartoons (which I love) with cooking (which I also love). The humor is perfectly juvenile yet well timed, and the characters are FRICKIN' ADORABLE.



The second is Flapjack! Flapjack is all about how awesome the ocean is, AND it was created in part by Pendleton Ward (who made adventure time) and it super hilarious and also very well put together!! Both Flapjack and Chowder, oddly enough, use stop motion from time to time, which is awesome.

basic instincts

This week's Illustration Friday was "instinct". For awhile I was trying to do something involving human instincts, but then I decided that I do enough illustrations of people. Hopefully Rabbit goes with his instincts and avoids that trap!

celebrate!

for illustration friday! I'm not sure if this illustration is done or not! Exclamation point!

house of perry

In some magical twist of fate I discovered that two amazing things that I love combined together the other day and the world almost imploded!!! Sneak peaks, my favorite section of design sponge, covered the home of Mike Perry, one of my very favorite cool artists!

The post itself is here, go gawk at it as I did. That couch first photograph is something I long for.

bouquet!

happy valentines day! instead of a dozen roses, I give to you oh blogosphere this hermes scarf. It is pretty much perfect in every way. As a scarf lover, someday I hope to own a scarf by hermes.

Today I plan on going to the art shanties with friends and then eating dinner with bryan at moto-i. A good day indeed!
