Mondaily: Sea Monster Cards update and weekend report.

It was an awesome weekend, full of Mexican food, monsters and margaritas.

We made a fajita marinade at home that was AMAZING, and a bunch of homemade sausage. At gaming, we had super delicious tacos and wraps, with homemade guacamole and loooots of veggies. Nom.

(Also, I've become a margarita light-weight... at one point I was feeding monsterus minimus and mentioned to Jake that it was a miracle any of her peas were getting into her mouth. It was fun, and not something I often get a chance to do!)

Monsterus minimus is on an up-twice-a-night schedule again, which is slowly killing my brain.

I got some art time, in bits and pieces. I finished a handful of older Sketch Fest sketches - these are my favorites:

The Star Catcher:


Twisty Trees:



And here's a look at what's happening in my sketchbook right now:


I have finished 9 of 20 sea monster cards for my Sea Monster Card Project!

In plans for the week: Kickstarter campaign, programming, more sea monsters, lots of fun baby playtime, and squishy driveway disaster navigating. Today: vacuuming, laundry and baked chicken. I'm going to try to squeeze in a shower right now, and then look at code for a while.

Pick a Monster!

My first sea monster poll! I've got 11 more slots to fill (at least!), and here are 15 choices! You can research these awesome monsters here or just pick by names. Select one or a few of your favorite-sounding, and I'll draw whatever's ahead in the polls. You may enter your address, optionally, if you'd like to be included in a drawing for a free ACEO print of one of the finished sea monsters! (Results are private, so only I will see your address!)

[Poll #1912377]
