Happy Halloween!, originally uploaded by Philosopher Queen.

This day in Seattle is warm, sunny and perfect. I’ve been busy all day working on logos, meetings, and getting a peek here and there of sun light. Before take a nap to rest up for the festivities tonight.

Have a fun, safe Halloween!

My orange action book from Behance just came in the mail. I’m soo excited. I’ll be creatively organized in no time. I’ve already plotted down some goals for my “32 before I’m 33 list” and jogged down notes and sketches for Nimmy Saustra & Tallie designs logo. It’s been my best bud these first few days

Check out the spread:

Also got some cute action stickers for my planner:

I’d have loved to have taken this picture! The Seattle PI closed it’s offices and only now runs the online newspaper. There were hundreds of paper vending machines, empty for weeks. They’re mostly all removed now.

This is a test post from , a fancy photo sharing thing.

This class was all about collage and mixed media and texture:

At the end we folded them over and made books out of them.

The wait is over!! And thanks for you eagerness to see mandala!

As I said, I was surprised with my colors at Artfest – I guess I bought them so I should have expected the vibrance but soo pink?? I was shocked when I set my mandala up at the end of class. So when I got back to the dorm I set-up shop in our “Art Asylum” area and when to work adding stains (thanks Candi) and really darkening the mandala a bit – after it dried I still wasn’t pleased, so I gave it a layer of white thinking I’d start over… I like the way the white really made the mandala pop. I’m still planning on adding some doodle to it and maybe expanding the outer rings or added shading to the inside too.

I have a little 10×10 inch elephant board I can’t wait to get started on… I’m going to the Paper Source this weekend searching for new backgrounds to work with… yay mandalas!
