Flashback

Tomorrow morning Fett and myself will be in Long Beach for the weekend for the Long Beach Comic Expo. There are a few things I'd like to document before we begin our trek!

I've neglected my desk for several days now, lol.

The night before last night is when I took this picture.
My craft stuff from last weekend was still sitting there. And I had a bowl of soup before having to leave. It's been an exhausting week. Being able to finally sit down for the day and focus on what I want to without being too tired feels really good.

Document-y things:

1. Look how sexy I am.

I see many women in L.A. get treatment or buy products to make their lips look like they made out with a frying pan. I'm want to be sexy, too.

2. A couple weeks ago I had the honor of being invited to a celebratory brunch with his family and close friends. We went to a Dim Sum place in Glendale. Pretty sure we all gained at least 30 lbs from how much we stuffed ourselves. Dim Sum, yo. Stuff that shit DOWN.

Mmmpf. This reminds me of how much I enjoyed my first K-BBQ dinner.

Waaaaaaaahhhhh now I want some lol

I got to sit in the handicapped spot! ^_^
I know right??

3. We ate $80.00 worth of sushi at this place called Midori. We didn't pay $80 though. We paid per person, but like... went a little cray with the ordering.

We ate all of them. The last 5 pieces we each had was probably the most god awful thing ever. We were full. Like... I wanted to vomit every time I put another piece near my mouth, lol. But we did it, with the help of lots of water. The only reason we finished them was because we didn't want to get charged for them. Good times. We definitely got our moneys' worth that evening. And totally overestimated how hungry we really were!

Good though.

4. There's this place in the valley that sells soda that's flavored like EVERYTHING. EVER.

We totally went there.

And salt water taffy!!! We didn't get any but the choices were almost overwhelming omg

I KNOW.

They even had Bawls. I had no idea Bawls had more than one flavor. Pretty neat.

We go an assorted 4 pack :)

He got these. Chocolate soda... tasted exactly like.. chocolate... soda. It was exactly what you'd expect, but it took us by surprise because... we didn't expect it to be so... literal. haha

Pirate piss was banana flavored soda. Really good ^_^

Recently I also went to go pick up some more crafty stuff at Michael's. More importantly, a replacement for my x-acto knife.

lol. It was so jacked that I had to keep it together with scotch tape XD

And I also got some new brushes, as several of my other ones were.. destroyed.

This brings me to another commission I got to work on! They were finally shipped out on Monday.

Totally fun to do! ^_^

Jack Sparrow and Indiana Jones! He sent me a specific photo of Indie where he's wearing a jean jacket, so I went by that.

So like. I had to re-paint Jack Sparrow completely over again because I had used a sealant that dried with a milky film and RUINED IT. You guise. I was SO pissed, lol. Everything had white streaks on it.

Like an idiot, I tried to use nail polish remover with acetone to try to get some of it off, to see if I could salvage it. IT MADE IT WORSE. So. sigh.

I had to try my best to replicate the same color mixes I had before and repaint everything. In spite of this bump, it still came out looking cute! ^_^

And since Indie didn't really have much going on in the photo I decided to throw in his whip to make him a little more discernible. Humans can be so boring sometimes ;)

I wish I had these colors were pre-packaged >_<
My fingers get sore from kneading the colors together for a while.

The belt buckle was interesting. I didn't wanna use ugly silver clay, so I cut wire from my pins as thin and tiny as my cutters would allow, and carefully placed them in a square shape.
