Davey



On February 21, 2010 will mark the ten years that my dad has been gone. For half of my life, I have somehow survived the passing of my cute dad. While feeling nostalgic and rummaging through some of his old boxes, I found a postcard that he wrote to me in '98. In the far right corner, my dad wrote, "We made it Shorty!" If I have made it this far, I can make it until I see him again. I love my pop. And I know that we will both make it until we see each other and survive this earthy separation between us. There is a plan. 

On a Cold Day



Just a few of the shots from one of my very cold photo shoots where I am pretending to know what I'm doing. Thank you, Michael Scott!  You're amazing at what you do! 

Frosting on the Cake

One of my favorites. 

Hearts & Other Stuff

Doodled this while sitting at my desk. Obviously, my mind wasn't on homework.

Yes, Please





Jewels and Gems

Most Whimsical Postage stamp I have ever come across. I would love to see these on letters more often. 

Upside Down Crown

I found this ironically appropriate at this point in time.

Bad Apple


I am a lover of anything classic Disney. Disney runs in my blood. So I say this with the upmost respect but I must speak about something of great importance. Snow WhiteFor one thing, she manages, as the title character in the film, to be the very least interesting person in it. Her only proactive moment in the movie is when she decides to pretend she is the hired help. Otherwise she spends her time apologizing for making a fuss when she was kidnapped, almost murdered, and abandoned. When she's not doing that, she's accepting candy (apples, whatever) from strangers, taking long naps, and marrying the first guy who's willing to kiss what appears to be a corpse. And I'll bet her tall collar is constantly getting in the way of her peripheral vision. The real problem with Snow White, though, is her voice. Even when speaking her voice is unnaturally high and grating, and when she sings, her voice reaches octaves that shatter my eyeballs. To put it bluntly, Snow White is not a favorite of mine, but I still appreciate it for what it is as a Walt Disney Classic.
