TODAY'S TEA: Houji-Genmaicha from Den's Tea


Some Etsy sellers I've bought cute stuff from lately...! ------------
adorapop - lovely romantic jewelry
cottonblue and beautifulwork - adorable Japanese fabrics
stitchduchess - cute and clever crosstitch designs.
woollyduck - felted sweets
kristaface - cute sparkly resin jewelry

thanks for the sugarcookie snowflakes guys! You guys are adorable. <3

Some photos from this week,:

It's been really cold this week (for Southern California...!) I was shocked to see ice on my sidewalk and snow on the surrounding mountains! Luckily our heater got fixed. Either way I'm enjoying wearing my jackets. WOOT.


Here's my current desk. To the left (what you can't see) is a traditional animation desk. We don't use that -too- much anymore, but we still use it.
On my desk (shown) A few rement, some of those cute kidrobot Futurama figures, a karaoke bunny, Lilo and Stitch paper holder... ... my stuffed sakura tofu (the big square thing with legs and a smile. :) )... he has a squishy fake bread on his head. a bunch of tea... and lots of model sheets.
I do my drawings on the cintiq you can see on the right there. I tend to put reference pictures on the left monitor. My desktop backgrounds are Doctor Who and Sugar Sugar Rune.
Started thumbnailing storyboards for my second season 6 Futurama show. Thumbnailing tends to melt my brain,... but it's really fun, too. I can already tell I'm going to have fun with the acting in my sequences... now if I can just get those shots right!


Here's a pic from my tree this year. Noble Fir is my favorite. This little angel is from my grandma's tree. And then, being the animation dork that I have, a good 60% of the rest of the ornaments on my tree are Disney ornaments. my Lilo and Stitch one... and the whole tree itself. I ran out of ornament hooks so I didn't put my red ball ornaments on... I might leave them off. The white look is pretty.

Do you know what model Cintiq you happen to have there? A friend of mine is giving me his unused one and I'm trying to get an idea for size.

I think it's the WACOM Cintiq 12WX LCD tablet | DTZ-1200W ? I wouldn't go smaller than that.

Sweet, I think that's the one he's giving me. GIVING. Just handing it over. He's crazy. Do you find it too small to work with? I have an Intuos2 6x8" that I like, but I figure I shouldn't pass up a free Cintiq!

I like the white ones a lot, but I feel like the multicolored strands make it more w himsical. <3

obviously very important thoughts.

I am super envious of your workspace!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell
1) the big wall of print out reference right at your desk
2) a second monitor, the first monitor being a Cintiq
3) the cute toys
4) the fact that that IS your "work" space

1-3 aren't exactly exceptional alone, but all together they seem pretty nice. I used to have, and didn't realize how much I loved having, a wall of printed out visual inspiration and reference. My SF apartment is TINY and my desk is against the kitchen counter as the bookshelves go along most other walls (we has lots o books). I have inspirational post-its now XD Not the same. Also, when I'm done with school and hopefully working, I plan on spending a nice chunk of change on more cute things!

yeah, I know what you mean, I always try really hard when finding a work space -at home- to make sure there's a wall there and to put up a corkboard. otherwise I feel distracted, guess I'm used to it being this way.

I have a lot of cute doodads though, I'm not sure it should be something to be jealous of,... it's an addiction. lol.

Howd you get the chibi Futurama figurines? They're uber cute!

you can find them online, look for kid robot futurama toys or something! You either get blind boxes or buy individuals. We were able to buy some through the studio.
