<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I recently had the pleasure of designing wedding invitations for my little sis. </span><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I couldn't be happier for the two of these guys - it was such an honour to do!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's been a while since I've added new things to my personal <b><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/DEADWEIGHT"><span style="color: #e06666;">shop</span></a>,</b> but today there are a whole bunch of new things available! Starting with: psychic readings totes (<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/156004039/black-psychic-readings-tote?ref=shop_home_active"><b><span style="color: #e06666;">black</span></b></a> and <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/156003847/natural-psychic-readings-tote?ref=shop_home_active"><b><span style="color: #e06666;">natural</span></b></a>). Above and below you will find me trying my best to be a tote bag model. My elbow scar really pops out in the one below. I got it flying off my bike as a youth in London, Ontario. I remember my dad laughing at me as I walked in the door because I was such a blathering mess. That sounds mean, but it wasn't. It was a really nice, funny moment!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">I've never been to a psychic, and I'm pretty sure I don't believe in them, but I've always been drawn to the imagery. I think it's because life is long and hard at times, and there are so many decisions to make every day - the idea of someone just telling me how things are going to go, or the idea that I don't really control my own destiny is kind of appealing (and hilarious). Of course, things do not work this way, and I would </span><i style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">much</i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"> rather control my own destiny. </span><a href="http://daniellewright.net/" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: #e06666;">Danielle</span></b></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"> and I joke about going to the psychic by our studio all the time. I wonder if we'll ever go? Speaking of Danielle, have you seen her badass jewelry lookbook by </span><a href="http://celinekimphotography.com/" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: #e06666;">Celine</span></b></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">? It's the best. She made a mask out of leaves!</span></div>

Specifically the 2009 self titled release. Each panel represents a line or a feeling from that record. If you haven't listened to that album, I strongly urge you to do so. You will not be upset about it. You will have a new favourite record! Here it is in better detail: </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This Timber Timbre thing started as a zine experiment, and then ended up as a print. This is further evidence that I will never, ever be able to finish a zine. Note: I cheated on screen printing and digitally printed this guy. 9X12 on matte cardstock. I might just start illustrating my favourite albums all the time, because it's really enjoyable. I live for great lyrics.</span></div>

Just kidding. Let's talk alllll about it. What a great break from the noise of city life. Even if just for one day.</span></div>

We came across a few people on paths, taking pictures on the side of the road, or a gaggle of bikers here and there, but for the most part this state park wasn't very populated. You could really get lost out there, and that's kind of a wonderful feeling.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We also checked out Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam. It kind of blows my mind that people use these roads to drive to work or whatever. If you're in Las Vegas, you should definitely rent a car for a day and get out of the city. It's really a perfect way to break up the craziness. Balance achieved!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A couple of weeks ago, my friend Rob and I went to Las Vegas and The Nevada desert for a quick three day adventure. I met Rob in college, and we've talked about going since then, but it never really came together until now. Why Vegas? We both have a love for carnival-esque ridiculousness and humourous excess! As you can see above, with this thematic hotel slash casino slash mall slash roller coaster slash trinket depository - the ridiculousness was in full effect.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fremont_Street_Experience">Fremont Street</a> has a digital canopy (outside) that projects images. It goes on for 4 blocks! There was a Queen presentation going on while we were there, and Bohemian Rhapsody sounded/looked pretty excellent. My highlight (besides this awesome cowboy sign) was Carl "Safe Sax" Ferris playing sax standing in the back of a pick up truck. Cool nickname, man. There were also some very weird celebrity impersonators in this zone, people zip lining overhead, a less polished overall vibe than the strip, and some pretty impressive cover bands.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Big news! We released our spring collection over at Falconwright today! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.falconwright.bigcartel.com/"><b><span style="color: #e06666;">Shop</span></b></a> / <a href="http://www.falconwright.blogspot.com/"><b><span style="color: #e06666;">Blog</span></b></a> / <a href="http://www.falconwright.com/"><b><span style="color: #e06666;">Site</span></b></a> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.daniellewright.net/"><b><span style="color: #e06666;">Danielle</span></b></a> and I built a fruit stand in our studio for this collection. Hoisted up an awning with fishing line, covered tables in burlap, stacked fruit, etc. Pretty lucky that making a fake fruit stand is part of my job. And now our new backup career plan is to go into the fruit game. Time to go eat some more bananas...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was such an honour to meet one of the Honest Ed's sign painters, Doug Kerr. If you aren't from Toronto, google image search HONEST ED'S SIGNS, because there are so many, and they are all so good. Our studio is right down the street from this local landmark, and as a nod to our city, we thought it would be really fun to use Doug's authentic talents. He also paints ice cream trucks in this town! Lettering pros blow my mind.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As promised you will find: zippers, neon, new metal tags, some nature inspired prints to go with our usual bold geometric stuff (flowers!), some bright leather colours, some neutral leather colours, and a bunch of contrasting leather zipper pulls for good measure! YEAH.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Taped off a bunch of random parts of different screens the other day and made this shape collection card. Weird on the fly spacing and no colour planning! Improv printing! Find it <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/125284511/shape-collection-card"><b><span style="color: #e06666;">here</span></b></a>.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">I stopped myself from adding a million more layers in fear that I would just ruin it in the end, but I think that I'll experiment with a larger format print inspired by this little one soon. Tons of colours, lots of shapes, semi transparent inks all over each other, fades, etc. Pastel tones? Who knows!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A little process gif action. 5 layers & all kinds of different lighting conditions! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Whenever I successfully make it through a multi-layer print, I always kind of feel like I got away with something. Despite years of screen printing experience, there is always this brief moment of surprise when something actually works out as planned. I love that moment. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another day, another sad pumpkin. This one goes out to a guy I saw on the bus who spilled a giant cup of coffee all over the floor on his morning commute and barely made a sound. He just looked down at the expanding puddle and DEALT with it. Total pro.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Something happened today. <a href="http://www.daniellewright.net/index.html"><b><span style="color: #e06666;">Danielle Wright</span></b></a> (collab partner extraordinaire & true crime stories lover) opened an <a href="http://www.daniellewright.bigcartel.com/"><b><span style="color: #e06666;">online shop</span></b></a> for her jewelry! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These pieces are all limited and totally unique. I have a pyramids necklace <i>and</i> a bead loops necklace and I still have to stop myself from stealing all the other necklaces every time I go into the studio.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">See that top left one? Danielle calls it a cone with handle necklace, but if I was put in an Inception scenario where I was going to extract very important info from someone else's dreams, this would definitely be my totem. Is this real life? Am I awake? Yes you are (and you have an awesome necklace).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Distressed pumpkin man has a drink and contemplates life. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Drink of choice: beer. Mood: weary. Plans for tomorrow: much of the same.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finally starting to work on a series of drawings featuring this pumpkin man. I've been thinking about this pumpkin guy (Jack?) for quite some time, and I almost feel relieved that he is now a reality. Is this guy the sensitive younger brother of The Headless Horseman? What is his favourite kind of pie? Does he wear a hat when it's cold outside, or does he prefer earmuffs? Does he even have ears? Has his heart been broken? I've always found sad feelings to be more inspiring to me than happy ones, despite my big love for bright colours and my overall lust for good times and adventure, so for this series I'm just going to dive right into that (pumpkin)head first.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jack-o-lanterns are the best. I love how you can carve any emotion you'd like into the face of this fruit every Halloween. How the end result can be crude or elaborate or not even a face at all, and all of those things are equally as pleasing. Halloween forever!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I recently (aka <i>finally</i>) finished Just Kids by Patti Smith. A+ book! It's pretty embarrassing how long it takes me to finish a book these days. I would really like to read more! I would also like to win the lottery, learn how to drive a car, and establish a lust for getting up early and seizing the day. <i>To live is to dream...</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My sister brought me a bunch of weird drawings that I did when I was a kid over the holidays. Most of our childhood photos, etc have been displaced over time or ruined by a small house flood, so it was a treat to look though some old stuff. This is one of them I photocopied. A princess (me), holding a balloon (with a girl's face on it? my own face?), saying hello to her Dad in the sky (is the dad a bird? is the Dad driving a plane about to hit a bird?). Kids are weird. I'm pretty much still this good at drawing people.</span></div>

Do people care what my backyard looks like in the winter, if I have a new tattoo, or if there's a really cool garden close to my house? Do I just stick to new design work and process shots? Who knows, but I'm going to take my own advice from the post below and stop worrying/over-analysing and just go with it. </span></div>

For all the worriers, panic lovers, and anxiety fighters in the house! While it's certainly appropriate to worry sometimes, I definitely worry too much. What a boring drain of energy! I posted a pic of this guy on instagram while I was printing it, and the reaction leads me to believe that I am definitely not alone. Looks like we all need to be reminded to dial it back a little ;) While this print may not change your tendency to over worry, or mine, maybe it will remind us to try harder? I WANT TO BELIEVE.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We got him on sale. Isn't it so weird that there is such a thing as getting a cat on sale? I spun a big cat themed wheel of fortune to determine the price. I realize that you've gotta inspire people to adopt these guys in all kinds of inventive ways, but it was still odd. For the record, he was half price. <i>SCORE. </i>#dealz</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He came with this weird, pink cat tent (as seen above). And while it's pretty ugly, it's now a fixture in our place. This is what animals do to you - they take over and rule the house. Suddenly you are hiding their food in cupboards so they don't tear the bag apart, watching your toes so they don't get chomped at every opportunity, and fully expecting an animal to jump out at you from under the bed <i>every time</i> you pass by. </span><br />

So far I have written such important to-do details as: Movies w/ Shayna, Angel Haze @ The Annex Wreckroom, Party w/ Caitlyn, and Meeting w/ Danielle. Done, done, done, and done!</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> This year is off to a great start.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My resolutions this year are pretty simple. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1: <u>Draw More</u>. Anything! Just drawing for fun. Drawing Garfield if I want to! Illustrating a narrative romp through the most mundane moments of my life! Drawing dogs! While I tend to do my best work under tight focused deadlines, I'd like to take more time to practice too. Less deliberation and more illustration? Yeah, something like that.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2: <u>Drink More Water</u>. I think I mostly drink coffee and beer. More coffee than beer though, don't worry. Sometimes cola. And then after that, water. I bet feeling chronically sluggish has a little something to do with my total lack of water consumption. Science! So I vow to embrace you, boring glasses of refreshing water. A cucumber slice will not trick me into finding you exciting, but I will learn to love you.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>Progress Report:</u> Resolution 1 is underway, as seen above with this page of scales. Go snakes! Unpictured: plenty of lines and shapes for new pattern ideas. Resolution 2 is being thought about quite a bit, but not really put into practice. Thankfully, there's still time. 361 more days.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I wrote a more detailed, more <i>serious</i> blog post full of 2012 feelings over on the Falconwright <a href="http://www.falconwright.blogspot.ca/2013/01/what-year.html">blog</a>. 2012 was really a great year! A total stand out among the 31 years I've spent living. Probably the most memorable year of my life.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've got some optimistic plans to spend a bit more time with my old buddy Deadweight this year too. Maybe I will finally realize the print series of my dreams featuring the headless horseman in his everyday life? I just said it out loud so now I have to do it. That's how it works, right? YES!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.daniellewright.net/"><span style="color: #e06666;">Miss. Wright</span></a> and I are hosting a studio sale/party tomorrow night at our studio! YES. Located on the fringes of the Dupont Strip (oh man, what a terrible name!). Look for the auto garage with the partially polka dotted pole out front. Doors are open from 6-10 pm. Stop by early, come later on - the choice is all yours. There will be snacks, beverages, music, and a bunch of great people selling their awesome stuff (check out that lineup above). I wrote a little bit about all of our party sellers over on the Falconwright <a href="http://www.falconwright.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #e06666;">blog</span></a> if you want to know more!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This party really pushed us to really get our space together. We've made so many improvements! I never imagined I would have a workspace outside of my home, or that we could take a plain room in a not so pretty building above an auto garage, and turn it into one of my very favourite places with the help of one of my very favourite people. This party is not only a sale, but also a celebration of this clubhouse, and a high five to all our pals who have helped and supported us this year. But of course, it's also a sale. Party shopping: it's the best of both worlds.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Something else you will find at this event? <a href="http://caitlynmurphy.ca/"><span style="color: #e06666;">Caitlyn</span></a> and I's 3rd collaboration project: The Holiday Card Pack! A limited run of 25 packs of 4 screen printed cards. Caitlyn's egg nog card is my new favourite card in the entire world. And I made a batman smells card because I am a...31 year old woman.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love how Caitlyn designed her cards to go landscape, and I went portrait. When we did our dog postcards her dogs were looking right, and mine left. Collaborating is the best.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hope we see you tomorrow!</span></div>
