making little cat art to help pay for otto cat's surgery.

2011-11-27T00:19:00.001-08:00

yesterday was caturday. when i don't feel like drawing girls, i like to draw cats. i suppose, more accurately, i like to draw one red cat. this is the same red cat that likes vinyl. he likes to drink too.

typical valentine's day.

2011-02-15T22:12:00.000-08:00

saw the radio dept. at the independent last night. sound was a bit muddy.
i did have fun dancing to cut copy though.

cat in the way.

2010-06-26T00:31:00.000-07:00

not sure if oggi belongs on the cat blog or here. this is what i have to deal with when i am trying to work.

sad hand.

2010-03-08T19:55:00.000-08:00

ugh. no drawing for awhile. guess i could work on my left-handed doodles.

the scare and the spark.

2010-03-03T21:19:00.000-08:00

today i found a ups tag waiting for me when i got home. i wasn't expecting a package at all from anyone, so i googled the sender's name. according to google, it was from a security and fingerprinting place. all i could think was holy shit, what did they catch me doing? anyway, i was nervous the whole time at ups. imagine my surprise (and relief) when i finally opened up the box marked FRAGILE. new cds from the idaho falls. yay!!!

i'll take better pictures of the goodies when it's daylight.
(thank you, raymond!)

mermaid days.

2009-07-06T20:01:00.001-07:00

record club roger asked me to do a poster for the july 15th show.
if you are in sacramento, you should go!

at last!

2009-02-15T18:19:00.000-08:00

at long last!!!
adrienneyan.com is FINALLY up.
after quite a few obstacles and delays, the site is finally done (thanks brad!!). i don't know who else has been waiting for it besides me, though. i am so happy there is a semblance of a shop page now. the news link leads to this blog, so there is no need to click on that unless you want to come back here. oh, happy day for me!

ice cream weather.

2009-02-11T23:18:00.000-08:00

yet another poster for the attachments.
of course, the bottom ice cream flavor is honey lavender. mmm.

tis the season.

2008-12-04T18:24:00.000-08:00

2008-11-16T23:02:00.000-08:00

nicole invited me to a dinner to celebrate her new pasta making machine.
i got a few tarts from tartine bakery for dessert.

i shucked peas for the first time ever.
walnut & olive tapenade, butternut squash soup, salad, ravioli.
everything was so delicious. thanks nicole!

yes you can.

2008-10-05T23:28:00.000-07:00

if you happen to be in sacramento this weekend, be sure to check out the art show at bows & arrows. proceeds will be donated to the obama campaign. this is your chance to be a patriot and an art collector all at the same time.

you might find a couple of my pieces there.

all quiet.

2008-09-19T22:32:00.001-07:00

whoa! there goes the posting one thing a week thing.
finally put pen to paper after a much needed break.
did this little poster for the attachments.

you're not yourself when you're officious.

2008-07-27T16:58:00.000-07:00

if you haven't seen it, you should go rent it now.
if you've seen it already, go see it again.

oreo!

2008-06-01T19:28:00.000-07:00

i would like a baby goat friend one day.
i met oreo this afternoon at bernal heights park.

girls rock

2008-05-27T20:35:00.000-07:00

i got an advance copy of girls rock the other day. i'm really happy with how it turned out! the designers did a great job. this was the reason i was never out last year. no free time at all.

i've never seen a book with only my stuff. it's kinda cool.
i'm ready to do another!

lots of girls with guitars.

low flying clouds

2008-05-19T23:28:00.001-07:00

the clouds don't know where to go in san francisco.
i love the way the lines divide the sky.

monkey break!

2008-05-06T12:28:00.000-07:00

just because.
and i'm tired of looking at my drawings!

2008-04-10T23:48:00.000-07:00

weekend memory #1

2008-04-07T22:23:00.000-07:00

checked out scott barry's show at receiver this weekend.

it is fun to play "guess what they look like by their footwear".

favorite thing #24

2008-03-26T23:53:00.001-07:00

leisurely sunny weekday strolls in the city (almost any city!) are the best.

rock on

2008-03-06T22:27:00.001-08:00

almost done with the illustrations for girls rock!

tree vs. man

2008-02-17T23:25:00.001-08:00

they kinda look good together.

but i don't want to answer anymore

2008-02-07T19:18:00.001-08:00

do you know what this feels like?

back to work

2008-01-29T21:55:00.001-08:00

back from a few weeks in argentina. settling back into life takes a bit of work! by the way, if you're ever in buenos aires, you MUST have dinner at casa felix.

2007-12-22T11:11:00.001-08:00

just finished this poster for rickshaw stop's 4th anniversary party. you should go! looks like it will be a fun time!

breakie

2007-12-15T19:06:00.000-08:00

totally off topic, but this is my new favorite breakfast snack. straus yogurt, bear naked peak protein granola & blueberries. it's only a snack, cause i am still hungry afterwards.

the friendly skies

2007-12-12T15:07:00.000-08:00

several weeks ago, i was flying to hawaii and i came across this picture (above) in the airline magazine, hemispheres. for some reason, it totally reminded me of this piece (below) i did for the idaho falls album, concrete prairie, back in 2004. i don't think they are together anymore.

lots of stuff

2007-12-08T13:58:00.000-08:00

i have a few illustrations in the new book son of stitch 'n bitch. i didn't do any technical illustrations in this one. i actually had to draw boys though. imagine that. i would have posted sooner, but it is too dark to take a decent picture by the time i get home during the week. sad.

also got my holiday card this week! i like how it turned out. did you get one? no? then send me your address. wanna buy some? email me. ~~sooner or later~~ next year, i'll get a proper shop up.

...and my lovely paperwhite has bloomed!

right before it blooms, it looks like an alien baby.

2007-11-19T22:39:00.000-08:00

my friend heidi gave me a paperwhite bulb about a month ago. this is what it looked like nine days ago. it's about 10 times as big today! in other news, my holiday card is at the printer now. i can't wait to see it.

my first post

2007-11-18T16:39:00.001-08:00

someone told me blogs are the way to go. okay, let's see. well, hello. here's a poster i just finished up for the attachments. they sing happy music about girls that make them sad...and probably other things too.
