Texas Family Reunion Day 1

Yoshi's family invited me to tag along on their annual Texas reunion. Super exciting! So like any good blogger, I documented the trip day by day! Here we go!

Day 1, arrival in Lubbock, Texas

Arrival after 14 hour travel. I fill up my water bottle and realize the water tastes like blood. This makes me slightly sick and for the rest of the trip I must now drink bottled water. I meet Bree and various other cousins. We are staying with Yoshi's aunt and uncle and her three boys.

Mural Updates

Here's how the mural is going so far...I've got the hands painted now, but alas i didn't think to get a snapshot.

Pig Bride Cosplay Project

So, at the end of the year the art department gets together and has a huge masquerade/feast/awards show. I've been currently reading a wonderful manwha series called "Pig Bride", so for my masquerade costume I decided to go Cosplay! I will upload pics of my full costume when I get them (they are on other people's cameras, how pesky), but here is Mu Yeon's mask I made out of rigid wrap. (I forgot the red dot on the forehead, I'm fixing it! lol)

Up and Up Dates!

The mural is coming along nicely, I worked on it earlier today before I went to poetry class, which I just got released from :)

I'm holding a new coffee house at my church this month, and Yoshi turned 20 yesterday!!!

Here's a picture of the delicious cake I made him! (his favorite flavor is strawberry- it's strawberry soda pop cake!)

Mural Commission!

Currently drinking: coffee

Status: The coffee house was a complete success! We raised 103 dollars for the church! I will hold another coffee house event probably around May, it will be even better!

In other news:

I've been chosen to paint a mural in the main Sanctuary of our church! I'm so excited! I'm about to leave in about thirty minutes to start on it. It will be covered up until I'm finished and there will be a "great unveiling" of it to the congregation! This is totally exciting. With the pastor's direction and the help of faithful Yoshi I created the church's logo in corel and photoshop, which I have posted below. Now that the pastor has informed me I will be painting the image in the church's sanctuary, I can't wait to get started! Hopefully in two weeks time I will be finished with it and I will post some pics of the "great unveiling" haha.




I believe the explanation is "the hands of the father, overshadowed by the Holy Spirit, making manifest the glory of Christ"- HAVEN OF HOPE

Cuteness

Here is a cute little picture of Yoshi and I on our fantasy wedding day lol

This is my first attempt at Corel Painter and using a Wacom tablet as well :)

I think it would be cute to animate this somehow.

Enjoy

Church Business

Church let out a little while ago, since then I've been painting my masks and hanging out upstairs at Yoshi's house. ::sigh:: I dislike Sundays, not because of church of course, but because it's just a reminder of Mondays...

Anyways, Yoshi is aggravating me so much making it impossible to type so I'll post later.
