Holy jeebus on crutches.

Presently, my life boils down to this cross-stitch...

Chemistry, originally uploaded by Quistak.

Isn't this cross-stitch the best thing ever, though? I've become totally addicted to using my Subversive Cross-Stitch book lately and I found that, of course, Flickr has a group for it. :)

I think my next one is going to be the "Don't Make Me Cut You" piece. Gonna hang that on my studio door.

 

My Knock Knock book is available...

My book is available and on the front page of the website!!, originally uploaded by redmeg8.

... AND on the front page of their website!! Woo hoo!! This was the best project. Knock Knock was a wonderful client, the subject matter was awesome, and I was constantly hearing, "Make it grosser!! More gore! More gore!" Which... hello?... is sweeeeeeeet. Honestly, I had NO idea it was a 192-page tome! Woah! I can't wait until my copy arrives here shortly.

In other news, my hell-on-wheels semester of pre-requisite med school courses started last Wednesday. Holy crap am I gonna be a busy bee. Sigh.

And, in true I'm-an-academia-addict form, I decided to go for my 2nd Bachelors while I'm completing this coursework at EMU. Why on earth would I put myself thru that, you ask? Well, because I only have 36 credits hours to achieve to garner the credential & that is pretty cool.

Honestly, despite the busy-ness, I've been extraordinarily happy this last week. Like, I'm back in my element, or something. Sure, I feel a wee bit old compared w/ most of my classmates, but, beyond that, it feels home-y being back on a campus. I'm sucha nerd, aren't I??

Anyway - wish me luck. I'm trying like hell for a kick-ass GPA this semester and I feel as if I'm going to have to be "on" almost 18 hrs. a day to achieve that. :o

I was SO excited when Illustration Friday's theme last Friday was "alphabet". I had been wanting to do a little dog breed alphabet for a loooong time now. I don't know why, but, it's been brewing since the beginning of the drawing-a-day project.
