The Most Awesome Gift Packaging in the History of Ever
Thanks, Matt! (He even used another ice cream box – folded flat – inside as a CD sleeve.)
On a sad note, though, I think for the time being I can no longer take pictures without the firm aid of a tripod. At least until I'm feeling a bit better. ;-(
UPDATE: Totally awesome red velvet cake bites inside! I enjoyed one then put the rest in the freezer for a day when my stomach's more settled.) Wow, though ... Matt, you are quite the baker!

Chained Heat
Every once in a while the sun coming through the windows hits this spot in my living room and it makes me laugh that Mr. McQueen looks like he's in jail.
Today I had my camera out ready to go take some snow pics and I looked up and saw that it was the exact time of day that this phenomenon was happening. Score! I don't think this pose (from "Bullitt") could be any more perfect (although if I'd noticed it to snap a minute sooner, his hand would be resting on the brick "wall"). Eh. I still love it.
I can't go out with my fever so it looks like this'll have to do for today.

Christmas Movies (For People Who Don't Like Christmas Movies)
Cartoon for an ireport I just posted.
(I would never succeed as a comic strip artist, by the way, because I think it's a lot more fun to do comics in pencil than ink ... I love the scribbly sketchiness.)

My 5-year-old self would be so freakin' impressed right now!
One of my designs has made it onto Crayola crayons!!!
There are so many hundreds of Peanuts licensees around the world, I can't keep up with them, but I didn't even realize Crayola (one of my favorite things of all time ... my art drawers are crammed with colored pencils, markers, paints, etc.) was a licensee so I was SUPER ecstatic to see them using something I designed for the Peanuts 60th Anniversary. I think this may be exclusive to Asia, though.
Funny thing is, they must've recreated this graphic ... it was part of the cover to the design press kit folder we sent out, not part of the digital collection, so that's even cooler that they went to the trouble! (Although I don't think they used the same Lucy on the bottom ... I'm pretty sure I also had a pose of her with her fist up in the air. It took forever to find poses that matched each character from both the '50s and '90s.) Also Linus had a yellow spiky shape around him (like the one around Charlie at the top, but different) that I think is on the notebook and crayons, but not the tote. Hard to tell here.
Image from the Japanese Snoopy Store. (speaking of which, why do we not have a US online Snoopy store???) ;-( I'll replace with a larger photo of my own if I can get my hands on a set.
