A show I am going to be in, along with many other really awesome plush artists. And, as you can see, the drawing for the promo image was modeled after my Baby Tripod monsters!
Here are the five little Vintage Napkin Monsters I sent for the show. :)

As I sit in my little studio (which I have to first say that I quite like) all I can think about is how very much I would like to move into a larger, brighter space.
I moved here at the beginning of August and this is really, truly the first place I have ever called “my own”. I’ve always, since I moved out of my parents house at 18 ( I may have even still been 17) shared my space with someone else.
Right now this place is an incredible mess, which I have been “meaning” to clean for the last week. But the more I stare at all of my stuff, jam packed into this place, the more I think that perhaps I need to move on. I really do enjoy my roommate, the area where I live, our lovely big yard and the whole bit. But still.
I guess the issue, however, is money. (When is the issue not going to be money?)
I don’t think I can actually afford a larger space. And also my pets. I have two dogs ( a dachshund and a chihuahua), three birds (two love birds and a parrotlet, which occupy two cages), and a ball python (which I have sadly been debating whether or not I should rehome for the last several months). I’m likely going to get another small-ish bird in the near future and at the beginning of February, my friend from the Betta Club is bringing me some BEAUTIFUL show quality bettas. So… besides money, I also need to find someone who is okay with my little zoo.
Here is how I picture my ideal place: A lovely, airy studio apartment, with a small kitchen (and bathroom as my current place has neither and I go inside my roomates house to use those!) with either hardwood floor or concrete. I’d like the walls painted a very light color and I’d love it to have lots of windows. And if it was in San Francisco, I’d be in heaven.
I guess we can all dream right?
