inspiration
i met a really cool Brazilian illustrator last night at Laura's house, Fabiana, who illustrates children's books in Brazil. her work is beautiful, delightful, vibrant and lyrical - much like the artist herself. anyway, i found it absolutely inspiring so i had to share it here.
the condo is ALMOST finished, we're going to start staining our bed and headboard tonight. because we've been spending so much time there painting and doing laundry, it's really starting to feel like home. i find it hard going back to Dufferin at night to find TJ playing some hideously violent videogame and having to hide in our tiny, windowless bedroom to smoke my pipe, eat chocolate and read Gone with the Wind to knock myself out for the night. i hope i can leave this disgusting lifestyle behind me once and for all.
oh wait, i haven't written in like 3 months! you probably didn't know that ryan and i bought a condo at King & Niagara (awesome neighbourhood!) and i got a promotion at work (Account Executive sounds so much sexier than account coordinator). work is going pretty well as i adjust to my new role and responsibilities. Jordan (from work) and i managed to pull off the most fabulous summer party for the Toronto office - Sin is In (7 deadly sins theme) at the Steamwhistle Brewery. we blew over $40K and didn't look back! god, i love throwing big parties with other people's money. also, i debuted as a model at Leann's debut as a real, superb, astonishingly talented photographer.
i'm feeling very lucky these days. despite the distractions, all i really want to is to focus on working on my illustration portfolio. i'm aching to create, i'm aching to push my talent to the next level. will start blogging more too.

I think I might have lived in that building?
Is it above an Irish pub? Either way, I'm happy that you can now pay your own mortgage!
