Remembering Matti

Posted on November 16, 2016 by BrassyDel

A few months ago, my dog Matti passed away. He became ill very suddenly, not eating, lethargic, heavy breathing. He had just turned 8 years old, and he had cancer. He died at home four days after his diagnosis. I miss him terribly, and sometimes I still catch myself expecting to see him, or thinking I heard him, but he’s…

Logo Design: Studio Brassy

Posted on September 10, 2013 by BrassyDel

Hey, guys! I designed a new Studio Brassy logo. The old one was a little dated (the colors were not driving me wild anymore) and it was too long for the new responsive website design! That’s right, if you check out Studio Brassy on your phone or tablet now, it’ll rearrange itself all willy-nilly so that it looks good. The…

How Does Your Garden Grow? Sugar Snap Pea Edition

Posted on August 28, 2013 by BrassyDel

This year my garden has been a bit… lackluster. In the spring I weeded, and tilled, and I did not bother putting compost down again this year because I apparently don’t want anything to grow. I also did not put Preen down early enough (I always worry it will mess with my vegetable seeds) so the garden was overgrown with…

Fresno and Geneva: Adoptable Colorado Dogs

Posted on July 29, 2013 by BrassyDel

It’s no secret I’m a nut for dogs, especially homeless ones. The Hubbles has put his foot down on fostering one right now, probably because he’s a boring ol’ rational human being. “You don’t have enough time to do everything you want to do right now, so how are you going to have time for another dog?!” I mean, fine….

Trixie the Pitty

Posted on March 27, 2013 by BrassyDel

I love dogs and I love drawing, and I love the Boulder Humane Society (where my own dogs were adopted from), so I drew y’all an adoptable dog! Trixie is a 4yr, 9 mo year old tan pit bull mix.

Happy Valentine’s!

Posted on February 14, 2013 by BrassyDel

Tank brought you a valentine. Hurry, before he eats it! Gene Hill said, “Whoever said you can’t buy happiness forgot little puppies,” but I’d first heard it this way. Besides, Tank is not, and never was, a little puppy!

Pretty Pitty

Posted on December 31, 2012 by BrassyDel

One of the things I’m really interested in doing is designing fabric, especially stuff for kids clothes. Have you been in a baby store recently? There’s a sea of blues, dinosaurs, trucks, and wild animals on one side contrasted with another sea of pinks, purples, flowers, butterflies, poodles, and “sassy” leopard printed kittens on the other side. If you want…

Kids, Dogs, and the Easily Offended

Posted on June 25, 2012 by BrassyDel

Having both dogs and children, I’ve noticed the myriad similarities. Having the inability to keep my opinions to myself, I’ve also noticed that some people get extremely offended when you compare children in general, and heaven forbid their child specifically, to dogs. I’m not talking about that one single relative who tells everyone at Thanksgiving about how Prince Fancypants Fwuffytoes…

Jailed

Posted on June 22, 2012 by BrassyDel

As you can deduce from the abject sorrow on Tank’s face, this is how he spends most of his days. Confined and neglected! He spends days without seeing the sun or feeling the dirt beneath his paws. He’s lucky if we remember to even feed him. Life is hard when you’re Tank.

My Desktop is Cooler than Yours*

Posted on March 8, 2012 by BrassyDel

Fortunately there’s no sound, otherwise it would be barkier than yours, too. Like a typical chick, I change my desktop wallpaper fairly often. Every month or two, or I may go through a phase of putting up a new photo every few days for awhile. While looking for a photo for last Thursday’s Snow Day post, I came across this…
