today was a fun day! i pulled out this 4″ tall ceramic figurine (with clangy little bell inside), rescued from a thrift store, and re-painted it with some ninja twists :) (including a little Turtle in the long stripey sock behind her back!)
available here
A few days ago Tracy, who covers the CTA for the Chicago Tribune’s redeye, contacted me about doing a blurb with some of my cta pieces, and she posted this today. (i DO miss the CTA!!!) (No offense, King County Metro Transit.) (Well, maybe just a little.)
Aw, now I feel bad for those long green and yellow beauties. It’s not their fault. Sorry buses. I didn’t mean it. (I miss bart, too.) At least we have orca cards here now. It’s easy to add money to them online. And they work for the ferries! I couldn’t believe they were still doing cash and transfers when I got here (although doesn’t muni in sf still do that or do they have a card system now, too?)
Yesterday I was sent this lovely image of a piece of art done by an up-and-coming new Seattle artist named Tiago. He’s only 6 years old and loves to draw! I am quite honored that he likes ninjagrl and has drawn versions of his own ninja girl. This one is great! I love her curls and her polka dot dress… and the turtles are awesome! The one that is climbing that mountain… I wonder what he is up to? It looks like an interesting story! And the one that is on her head? That definitely looks like something Turtle would do!)
It really made my day – and today too! I’m still smiling! :) And he’s inspired me to get back to my desk and start painting! Thanks, Tiago!

oh my. what a horrible waste of resources! (but i really want them all) I would play with them. We’d have a colony. There would be rulers. And serfs. And pirates. ..
do you think goodwill has 24 sets of decorative mini chicks? of course not. who would ever get rid of theirs???
(i’d make them peep. A lot.)
