Fought off mosquitos this morning long enough to get layer 1 of Lollipops started.  I’m having fun with layering and playing with mimicking my digital painting process.  The finished piece will have 5 layers of glass, including the stained glass background.

Finally finished a painting last night!  No pics of that one yet (it’s still a surprise) but this is a digital sketch I did this afternoon for the next one.  I’ve been thinking of lollipops since I woke from a dream where all I could remember was the phrase “The big lollipops have to be on different teams”.  Excited to try out some new materials and techniques on this one, more details soon!

Anyone out there?  If not, I don’t blame you.  It’s been FOREVER since even I’ve been here.

What have I been doing?  Here’s the short list:

• working on some oil paintings! some on glass, some on wood panel.  hope to have pics up sometime in the near future
• working on some Java/Android development (just for fun, because I’m a geek)
• still studying my Japanese, think I have the hiragana and katakana down now, and some kanji as well
• gaming – MLB The Show, Lego Harry Potter, Mini Ninjas!
• cooking – my new fav is lemon shrimp pasta.  om nomnom.
• tv – catching up on the first five seasons of LOST
• reading – Night Angel trilogy and Mistborn Trilogy
• enjoying the summer with friends & family
• work, work and dreaming about work

Went to She’s Geeky Twin Cities this weekend and had a great time meeting other awesome geek girls.  I promise to come back and update more frequently!
