Hello MissMote

school work, concept art, WIPs and finished products!

So, this afternoon my uncle and I found some kittens in the shed.  Mom and I brought them to West Side Cats.  WSC said they were about 2-3 weeks old - still not weened from the mom (so now we’re trying to catch the mother, who’s definitely a feral cat). 

These guys need homes though.  They won’t be able to be adopted for another 6-8 weeks because of how small they are right now.  But they’re only $90 to adopt and they come with ALL OF THE FOLLOWING:

  • Spayed/Neutered
  • Tested for FeLV/FIV - Negative
  • Both FVRCP shots/boosters
  • Rabies vaccination
  • Dewormed
  • Treated for fleas
  • Lifetime return guarantee

If you’re interested, send me a message and I’ll get you the information.  Right now we’re probably going to adopt the little calico girl (hence all the photos).  They’re going to keep us updated so I hope everything works out.

These are kittens that look exactly like the cats my recently deceased Nana loved so I would really like to see them go to good homes.  Despite their eye infections (which will be all cleaned up by time they’re ready to adopt) they were all very sweet and cuddly. 

If you can’t adopt, please signal boost!  I WILL DRIVE THE CATS WITHIN AN HOUR-TWO HOUR DISTANCE FROM THE SHELTER/KENT OR TRY AND MEET YOU HALFWAY.  Please help!

My family got a call a while ago that my Nana had collapsed and was bleeding from the nose. Mom and Dad rushed over but she passed away. I am heading over there myself once I feel steady enough to drive.

I am sorry, this is very difficult. This morning my uncle (who had the stroke but was doing…

I’m doing a photo plate so these are the transparencies to remove the emulsion from the photo plate so I can print.  IT’S EXCITING.

Something I doodled up a while ago but just stumbled across now while cleaning out my hard drive.  I made this for one of those chat-site things where you have the little avatar dude that hangs out.  It was pretty cool.
Perspective/shading is a bit wonky.  I should go fix some of that.
Man, I never call her by her full name, I should probably just shorten it to Jae.  That would make a lot more sense.

You want it when?

vcdroughs:

Have you ever wondered when any of the standard issue VCD strongholds are open? After all, we all go to the same places to get things printed, buy supplies and get coffee in times of need. Considering that we are all in the same boat, we decided to make this year a little easier and made a list! You can thank us later.

Proofs for Intaglio Project.  Each is a creature from chinese mythology.  I still have one more creature to go.  These proofs are about all at the 25% done point so there’s a lot more to do! I’m excited to finish these up!

I also apologize for some of the not so great photos on some of these.  There’s limited hanging space so the light isn’t always the best.

Steampunk World’s Fair Promotional Packet

Papercraft Pop-Up, 2010

This pop-up promotional piece includes working gears, a magnetic lock, and a removable convention badge with a spinning gear.  Everything is made out of paper.  Silver, gold, and bronze accents are foil added after the printing process.  All dies are cut by hand.  Damage on the final page occurred after the project ended but before I had time to photograph.
