Marvel Sketch Cards by Upper Deck

I'm honored and excited to announce I will be working on three upcoming Marvel Comics card sets being produced by Upper Deck. I've just my blanks for "Marvel Beginnings" and "Thor" and should be getting the "Captain America" ones soon after. Both "Thor" and "Captain America" will be tied in with the new films.

Matsuri

New digital illustration. Matsuri means Festival in Japanese, and this illustration is about a New-age music album that's inspired by Japanese Festival.

 The initial sketch

KittyCats on House Arrest

It really isn’t as bad as it sounds. REALLY.

It can be kinda fun actually.

I can go places; I just can’t go without my sportsman.

So I still get to go to the gym. Ultimately that really is the only important place I like to go.

Now if I were banned from going to the gym there might be a problem.
and now that things are over with "HIM", I have no reason to go anywhere right?

Now the sportsman did not come out and say, “you have to stay home 24/7”.

Nope he just said that “if you want to be single just keep on going out with your friends till 3am”.

So my definition of that is. Your ass better stay home!

Is that what you heard?

So my choice is to stay home. Good choice right?

I was a little leary at first. I am not big on being told what to do. Nor am I big on changing who I am for anyone. Technically, I am not changing who I am.

I am just toning ME down a bit.  I realized (with the help of some of YOU) that I needed to make some scarfices in order for my relationship with the sportsman to get repaired. (which it sooooooo needs)

So, house arrest I have found really isn’t all that unstatisfactory after all.

I’m kinda liking it, really.

And just think all my laundry is done and I have managed to get all my dvr stuff watched. My house is super clean.

How freakin awesome is that!
See I CAN be a g o o d girl.

Just, "Checking In"

Ok, soooooo the sportsman and I have been watching this sitcom on TV.

It’s called “Rules of Engagement”. 

Have you heard of it?
Better yet do you like it?

Ok, so I don’t really care if you like it or not. WE like it.

So the synopsis is: the rituals of dating, marriage and commitment, as seen through the eyes of two couples and their single friend.

Who doesn’t find that kind of shit funny. Right?

We really just recently started watching it, I know it’s been

on for awhile, like mulitple seasons. But we just have so

many other shows we already watch that we must of missed

it previsouly.

Basically, the husband on the show (Patrick Warburton  ) reminds me alot of the sportsman.  
Well not the gruff voice, (though I do like a gruff voice, its kinda sexy)but his attitude sometimes.

So the episode this week was basically about how the wife

kept checking in(calling)the husband all the freakin time. 

 Like telling him where she is and when she will be home.

  Every freakin five minutes.

How annoying!!!!!
You know, theres "checking in" and then theres

CHECKING in!



AKA Sportsman



So now the sportsman and I have this running joke, where



he will call me (at work) to check in (all day long) like the wife does on this show.

He will call and say, “ Just checkin in” ha ha.

It really is pretty freakin funny.

It’s a nice kind of ha ha for us to have.

Since as of late things have been a little t e n s e,

Ok alot tense.  We need this little funny.

Regardless of what some might think we are headed in the

right direction.

At least the “D” word has not

been metioned again in at least

 a day.

That’s good right?!

Mean STREAK

I am a nice person.

Until I’m not.

For those of you who know me, know I have a mean streak.

For those of you who don’t know.

You do now.

All I can say is beware.

I wouldn’t piss me off if I were you.

Just sayin

It does however take alot to piss me off.

You have to really push me.

but

When I get pushed too far, I can be a very ,very mean person.

I have to say it is NOT one of my best features.

I however believe that everyone has a limit, of how much shit they can take before they just lose it.

Am I right? Wouldn’t you agree?

That everyone has the potential to come unglued.

Then there are also those people out there who know how to push buttons and do it well.

Those people suck! ASS

I am writing about this today because of the holidays that are in full swing.
Which brings alot of pissy and rude people.
During a time when there should be love and happiness.

The holidays seem to bring out the worst in people.

Wouldn’t you agree?

So here is ME putting it out there

that I

 will try harder

this year to be nice

 and not let people piss me off.
