The Evolution of my Blog Character

I have had a lot of people ask me about the adorable illustration of myself on my blog, so I thought I'd tell you a little bit about her and how she came to be!


I came across a very talented illustrator, Kei Phillips, on DeviantART.


I saw this illustration in her portfolio, and fell in love!


I bought a 16x16 print of it, and it's currently hanging in a thick black frame in my bedroom. Day after day, I'd see it on the wall, and finally I decided I had to have her design a new blog character for me!

She was so easy to work with, and was open to letting me edit the character to my liking. With some team work, we morphed my character into the girl I know and love today! Here's the stages she went through, labeled with whom made the changes:






Here's what she looks like currently:



...And here's what she'll look like as I grow out my hair!




The best part is, she'll do commission work for my clients as well! If you're interested in having a character designed by Kei incorperated in your blog design, please contact me so I can request a quote for you!

Another "WTF" Moment.

As per my daily routine, I woke up and checked my email - I do this before I pee or brush my teeth. No joke. So I open my inbox, and I see an email with this subject:


"Yahoo! Groups - Please confirm your request to join JuicyHornyWebcams"


...Is a friend playing a joke on me?

...Is my email being spammed by bots?


Sidenote: NEVER EVER EVER sign up for a Yahoo! Group. EVER. One time I joined one for digital scrapbooking and I got 200+ emails a day from people trying to sell me digital scrapbooking kits. NOT cool.

I'm Awesome...Just Sayin'.

I'm super excited right now, because I finished with TWO clients in the same day! Things are really hoppin'. Watch as the names in my design queue melt away over the next few weeks!
