All the knitting, done. Just need to weave in the ends. Wearing it feels like a hug.

Over the Holidays, I knit a scarf with sleeves on a knitting loom. It turned out terrible: it's curling inwards and won't block, and it's not wide enough. So I decided to start over, unravelling the first attempt as I knit the new one with a bigger loom and better, more fun pattern that won't curl.

It's time for Artist vs Art and here is mine. I have done very little digital work outside of actual work, so I chose analog pieces. All of these are from the same sketchbook - amazing how much the lighting changes the colour of the paper!

The back pocket closes with velcro; the big pocket comfortably fits his laptop and the front pocket has slots for pens, wires and his fancy mouse, and is big enough to include his tablet and a book. It's sturdy yet light, and can be rolled up or folder to be tossed in the duffel bag.

After I finished the first recycled jeans bag, my husband gave me another dead pair of jeans.
He also had complained before about not having a light laptop bag for when he travels for work. He prefers to pack everything in a small duffel and do carry-on. So I did my crafty wife thing. :)

And, when not working from home, here is my portable setup, which all fits in a laptop bag.

Ooh, I'll play!
Artists, show off where the magic happens. Share your workspace.
(Be it noted that this photo crops out the stacks of boxes from my basement, because new floor is happening soon.)

I was sorting some files into folders and found something I was planning on cleaning up and colouring over 15 years ago (ye gods, probably got too busy with other work that paid bills). I thought you all might be amused by my sketches on this old Gargoyles Meme by Fluffy Nabs.

So...Hi, I'm Karine, I was one of the artists on the Gargoyles and Gargoyles: Bad Guys series at SLG. I'd be super duper keen to come back and draw more Gargoyles or anything, if you've got covers that need doing. I'm also a storyboard artist/supervisor/series director in 2d animation. Call me!

Welp this is where my creative energy went today: I'm making a bag using my husband's old ripped jeans and some quilting cotton I originally purchased to make COVID masks with. I'm absolutely loving the fabric combo here

Perimenopause. Wheee! Saw my doctor and got a prescription for HRT which includes an estrogen cream, so I told my gymnast son, who's been working really hard at building muscle and strenght, to not use it. The below is only a slight exaggeration of what happened next.

So much grading to do. So many storyboards to open, review, check against the rubric, grade, close.
My ADHD coping skills are no good right now. I'm here instead of on the work! Someone kick me into gear. It has to get done.

I'm pretty happy with this one. Very much a DTIYS, because I wasn't trying to be specifically on model, I just wanted to have some fun with it.

Teaching tonight. Suggesting thumbnails for a couple of student films, and having a blast with the silly, fun stories.
