Plushies

On DeviantArt there are a lot of really talented artists and lately I've been really getting into plushies (if you don't know a plushie is basically just a homemade stuffed animal)! I decided that over Christmas break I would try to make my own and I spent like 6 hours making one last night. I made this picture a long time ago called "Lunch" with a fish, and everyone liked him so I tried to make him into a plushie. It's not as good as I wanted, but I'm pretty happy with it. I'm going to keep experimenting and making stuff and maybe I'll take another crack at him cause I think he's cute. The picture sucks...sorry. By the way, all my art (including the picture this is based on) is on my deviantart account- link here.

Creative Sparks

All of my life I've gone to Half-Price Books and never thought to look for the Graphic Design section until this year, and now I love it. Cheap books on design, are you kidding me? Amazing. Tonight I picked up this book called Creative Sparks by Jim Krause. It's really awesome! It's basically a little books of 150+ ways to spark your creativity (makes you wonder where the title of the book came from). The pages are very well designed and it's fun to look at and read. Not to mention its so cute and little (only about 5-6 inches tall). Jim Krause apparently has a bunch of other books I'd love to get, he's very good at giving advice that is actually useful, and very inspiring actually.

First Entry!

Well this is exciting. I've done livejournal and xanga, but those seem so...out of date. Onto the new trend of blogs. I plan on sharing cool stuff I find (probably on other blogs) and my art when I actually have time to do it!

First things first, I never really went into Journeys before cause I don't like to spend 60 bucks on shoes, but I went in one today and they have THE CUTEST bags (heres the website)!

I want this rocket one REALLY bad! It's so cute!

That is all for now.
