Under the Milky Way

You ever wish you could thumb a song up twice on Pandora when you hear it because you like it so much? That's the way I feel with this song

I remember this song from my childhood, and hearing it in acoustic form is just so heartbreakingly beautiful.

Facebook Scrolling Musings...

Sometimes I wish I could have really got to know someone back when I actually had the opportunity to be their friend. I find out later through some mutual event that we would have really clicked, and by that point we're already in completely different life stages, or live in different places, or some other type of thing that will never really allow us to get to know each other. That invisible wall kind of infuriates me, because in my younger years I didn't give a damn and fought against it in the idea that I'd be the master of my own fate. However, all that ends up doing is making the other person really uncomfortable and eventually I realized that I can't really do anything about another person's feelings in the end. I was painfully reminded of that when I was served on a deadlocked jury today. The same sort of things that hold us back as children only continue to restrain our fates as adults.

This is a series I'm a little excited about: at first I wanted to illustrate girls taking part is exciting career paths, and then I got a little carried away. We have here a Steampunk Engineer, Mechanic, and Entrepreneur. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did creating them! These vector illustrations are now for sale on Shutterstock, and the I recently sold all three to someone in Germany. I would love to see where they end up next!

Old timer

I'm probably super-behind on what all the young'uns are doing these days, but yesterday I formed myself a Tumblr account:

I like it! It's kind of like Blogger mixed with Pinterest.
