Day #182 -186: Camping

I'm kinda notorious for my hatred of camping. in the weeks and days leading up to a camping trip I do nothing but whine and dread and drag my feet. but the truth is, once I get to the camping site and we set up our stuff, I actually have a great time.

So that's what we've been doing the last few days: camping at Lake Chelan. And we had so much fun! We swam in the lake, took trips on Uncle Mike's boat, and I even rode a Wave Runner.

one of the reasons I enjoyed this trip so much is because I brought a book. There's a lot of down time for us grown-ups, so while the kids were riding on inner tubes, I was reading Stephen King!

Day #181: Coloring Rainbow

I've been trying to re-familiarize myself with Photoshop. It's been a while!

Here's a color scheme for my main character, Rainbow...

Day #180: Happy Fourth of July!!!

Hope you are having a wonderful Independence Day! Stay safe and sane.

Day #179: Road Trip!

We're leaving the scorching hot terrain of Southern California to the slightly less scorching greenness of Western Washington. The Bradford family needs a change of scene... and temperature. Photos will be coming soon!

Day #178: A Finley Farewell

Yesterday, I went to Joshua's house, and he generously spent the morning and afternoon finishing a special little film in honor of Patti and Greg Finley, two amazing directors at the Canyon Theatre Guild. They are moving to Boise this month, so Cheri directed a special tribute for them.

Day #177: What Have I Done???

I signed up to attend the Society of Children's Books and Illustrators. But I've also done something I've never done before. I signed up to display a portfolio of my art work.

The problem? In comparison to the amazing artists there, I'm pathetic. Also, I don't know if I have time to get my Ducktown illustrations polished and printed in time for the conference. I have until July 31st. I was crazy to sign up for this, but at least it's motivating me to get a lot done.

Day #167 - #176: Now I'm Really Cheating

The bad news is... I'm still slacking at this blogging stuff.

The good news is... I've been relatively productive. Some of that has been related to West Side Story, which closed on Sunday. But other than that I've been working hard on my graphic novel.

There's just not enough time in the day, even if I am on summer break!
