Post-turkey Artin’

Drawing courtesy of Pietro Norante! Tonight was our first venture into the world of UStream! After many discussions (more like one brief conversation… that one time…) we decided that we should try to make a UStream broadcast to help bring more people into the collective and remove the obstacle of distance between us and… everyone [...]

Topher wanted to call this blog post “Attack”, but I rejected him. Ha! :P

We had a full house today at Studio Sunday! Tara, Heather (Chapa), Josh, Pietro, Topher, Brent and Jackie were all rockin’ the house with preliminary drawings, Christmas projects and Etsy-majigs. There’s nothing you can’t get done with Jurassic Park and Big Trouble in Little China playing in the background!

Topher came over to the studio today to chill and make more exhibit and character thumbnails, Tara created the first draft of our statement of intent (it’s pretty good, so it may well be the final draft), Brent banged out a prototype and [...]

Lurve lurve

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, so some of us in the collective have taken to making love-themed things for the occassion. These Cupid Kitties, for example, all come with your personal message hand-embroidered on the back! Whether or not you celebrate Valentine’s Day, there is a loved one in your life who will appreciate these [...]

Sew What?

Busy busy busy day of sewing! And then we took a break to go see the premier of Handmade Nation at the Oriental! And then we came back to the studio and sewed for four more hours! SEWINGGGGGG. (time for bed~)
