Don’t Eat Strange Mushrooms

Posted on May 21, 2010 by BrassyDel

Look, kids. If you see a mushroom hanging out in the wild, especially a bright, neon green one, do not eat it. Trust me on this one. Today’s Fanart Friday is the 1up mushroom from Super Mario Brothers.

This Is What He Does All Day

Posted on May 18, 2010 by BrassyDel

Occassionally, I feel sorry for my cats because they are somewhat restricted in our house these days. Ever since Tank came home, all they’ve done is avoid the “dog area” of the house and sleep on our bed all day. It’s a pretty big change from going downstairs when you want to whine for second dinner, and spending the rest…

Leonard

Posted on May 10, 2010 by BrassyDel

Rawr! Isn’t he scary? His name is Leonard, and he lives in a very humid cave somewhere along the Pacific coast. Leonard likes peach pie, long walks on the beach, and stealing fingernails from corpses. Okay, I guess he’s a tad creepy, too.

Beware of PMS Monster

Posted on May 3, 2010 by BrassyDel

She may look pink and fuzzy and cuddly, but beware! See those talons? Those pointed teeth? Those wonky eyes that look hither, thither, an ne’er together? She could snap at any moment! If you’re wise, you’ll tread lightly and carry a big tub of chocolate ice cream.

Quick Sketch – Hibiscus Mug

Posted on March 23, 2010 by BrassyDel

Just a quick tablet sketch for today. There’s a red and white Hibiscus mug from Hawaii* sitting next to my keyboard, and it’s one of my favorite mugs (I collect awesome mugs). So that’s what you get today. I sketched in blue and shaded it purple because I felt like. Call it artistic license. You can also call it pretty…

Tank’s Very Best Play Date EVAR

Posted on March 22, 2010 by BrassyDel

The Hubbles was out of town earlier this month, so Tank and Matti were invited up for a playdate with their Golden Retriever pal, Loki. I packed up the baby and both dogs, and off we went! My brother-in-law recently received a second hand playset and is in the process of putting it up. Currently, the slide is resting on…

I’m Gonna Eat You, Little Fishy!

Posted on March 19, 2010 by BrassyDel

Another Dalmation Press original coloring book page. Scanned it as B&W 300 dpi lineart into Photoshop, cleaned up the page, converted to RGB, and colored with my Wacom tablet. It’s a cross between practicing coloring techniques and just having some fun down time while Teh Hubbles is entertaining our baby.

Welcome to Colorado

Posted on March 17, 2010 by BrassyDel

Today, it is absolutely gorgeous outside. The sun is shining, squirrels are frolicking, and Tank is barking like a nutter. According to weather.com, the imminent forcast is a high of 67 F today (Wed.) and 65 F tomorrow (Thurs). Friday is a high of 34 F and a 90% chance of snow. Well, then. So much for gardening this weekend…

Coloring Books Rock

Posted on February 19, 2010 by BrassyDel

Just for fun, here is a coloring page! I colored this with colored pencils while hanging out with my 9 year old niece. I’ve decided it is my pooch Tank after running through mud puddles. The coloring page is from a Dalmation Press original coloring book, Puppies and Friends. I tried to find the actual book online to link to,…

Damien: the Feline Retrospective

Posted on January 12, 2010 by BrassyDel

August 9th, 2001: My boyfriend and I walked into the Human Society of Boulder Valley. Shortly thereafter, we left with a cardboard box containing what we would soon learn was the Best Cat Ever. Sure, he had a tooth rotting in his mouth and was unable to eat dry food, but that was quickly remedied at the Vet’s. When we…
