I have a diary to keep secrets from my computer.

SO a week ago today I had the honor of attending a Reno 911 charity event at the Largo in L.A.. And who was also in attendance? None other than Rainn Wilson himself. So... I decided I had to at least say hi. I mean me and Rainn don't hang out often... or ever... so this was perhaps my only chance. So I did it... much to my boyfriend's dismay I went over and introduced myself and then called Kevin over to meet Rainn too. Boyfriend claims it was an embarrassing conversation, but I thought it was totally cool!!

Anyways... great show... great cause.

.end backstory.

SO I was inspired to paint the legend himself. Dwight Kurt Schrute. This one's a little different than the others... I couldn't justify giving him big eyes. He has small eyes.

I used the word So a lot in this post... SO WHAT!?!?

5 Things I'm still scared of...

Do you remember any of the things you were afraid of when you were 5? Are you still afraid of any of them? I am. Here is a few of those things that I still have an irrational fear of...


1. When Ursula gets really big at the end of The Little Mermaid.


I will still skip this part on the dvd. She is scary and gross and her voice is gross. No thanks, I'll just skip to the wedding and the rainbow please.

2. Storm drains and clowns.


I saw this movie at a really young age. Actually... I saw a lot of horror films at a really young age. This movie... ruined me. I still wont walk over a grate of any kind. I'm also creeped out by any and all clowns. Thanks Pennywise.

3. Escalators


I was a morbid child who liked to watch shows and hear stories about people getting hurt. Which lead to my fascination with a show called Rescue 911. Nothing is scarier than falling down an escalator... oh... except getting your clothes caught in one. I still take extra time when escalating... and always hold the hand rail no matter how gross. But really... the jagged edges on the escalators look like they'd hurt so bad.

4. Pink Elephants on Parade


I don't know if its the creepy music... or the black eyes that creep me out the most.

5. Chuckie
and for that fact... dolls in general.


So this movie terrified me beyond belief. I literally could not watch more than 5 minutes of it. It took until this past January for me to force myself to actually sit down and watch the entire thing. And of course these dolls had a crazy resemblance to:



...which I had. And never played with because it freaked me out.

The end.

I don't talk trash I talk smack...

So... In an effort not to spend money today (other than the Starbucks and bagel that I had) I decided to paint away my day.  And after much deliberation I decided to redo the painting I did of Mindy Kaling aka Kelly Kapoor!  I know I know... you are crying foul because she already got a painting.  But... I mean for reals it looked nothing like her.  This one at least has some resemblance.  Some.  :)

Me and Squeaker sat down on the couch... put Dreamgirls on and lounged while I painted.  Now I'm going to have to decide who to do next again.  *sigh*  Like most of the paintings I'll probably go back in a couple of days and retouch it here and there, but for now... here she is!

Are you outta your DAMN mind...

So... a while back I put a request out as to who from The Office I should paint next... the result is over there on the left.  

Stanley Hudson.  

This painting might not be as refined or smooth as some of my other paintings, but I liked the texture to it so I stopped before I made it a mess.  In the end... who really cares if they look like they all go together.  Only me...

But anyhoo...  now I need another character to paint.  

New Trailer!!

AND ITS AWESOME!!

In other news... here's an interesting quick painting I did of a guy I work with. There's a lot of back story that I wont get into... Just enjoy it for what it is.

TZ and the bear.

Just a ho-hum day at work...

So... yeah I didn't work on it. In fact the movie I did work on was nominated and didn't win.

BUT... I'M SO HAPPY FOR ANDREW AND ALL THE WALL.E CREW! Congratulations to you all!

UPisode 1

No longer a stranger from the outside...

Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been super busy with work since getting back from vacation. I haven't had much time if any to do any sort of art outside of work.

BUT... the hard work has paid off.

I'm now officially a full time employee! Yay for not having to move this year! Yay for not having to put together a demo reel! Yay for yay's sake.

There's 3.5 weeks left in production on Up and probably at least 3.5 weeks until another update here! Sorries. To make it up to you... here's the new poster that you'll start seeing in theaters this week.

Sneak...

Another little look into what I'm workin' on these days.

now that that whole christmas shennanigans is over...

I painted this for my sister for Christmas this year.  She has a thing for Jon Stewart... and there is a lack of posters of him available to the public for purchase... so I made this for her.  It went over well.

And now that I'm back after 2 weeks of vacation its time to hit the '09 ground running and make some new art!
