I am thankful for a lot of things (all of you are pretty high on my list) but sometimes there are a few things on my thankful list that are better thanked at a distance. For instance, some of my family ;). For those occasions this little wild turkey knows what to do.
Hope, you’re having a wild thanksgiving and remember to save some for the rest of the holidays.
I don’t know about you but I’m moving a bit slow this Thursday. Still a bit sore from my Aikido. Here’s a little sloth dressed up all colorfully to brighten your day.
I have the copic marker app and a list of copics I own in iPhone reminders program yet this is my favorite log.
I can look and at a glance see what I’m missing and how it interacts with the colors around it. Everytime I buy a marker I just fill in the box and I know what I need next. It’s a great tool and really aimed at those of us who are visual learning people. I have to see and do before I really know something.
Here’s a link to print your own.

(Btw, as of the date of this post, I need more E’s before the convention in April cause steampunk is the theme.)
For artists and those that love an artist, I go to the blicks art store in Dearborn, MI. They have a large selection of copic markers and an online store where you can also get gift cards. The people are usually helpful even when you get the occasional art snob.
If you were at furreality you’ve seen this post but most people haven’t because I was saving it for today. Happy Halloween
This is done with copic marker on Bristol vellum paper. This is the first piece where I only had a white Matt board so I grabbed my copic marker refill and my rubbing alcohol and made a lavender wash for it. (Not pictured above. Sometime I’ll do a tutorial about it or a panel at a con.
I have a dear friend that I work with at conventions and evrrytime I see him he whips up the best Turkish coffee (okay, truth I’ve never had it anywhere else). Gabe even whips up no sugar versions for me now that I’m working hard on (I don’t want to say losing weight cause it’s not about thin and all about not dying) being healthier.
So, I’m kind of on a coffee kick lately and I wanted to highlight the coffee that we in the ops office like so much.
Why a cheetah? You might ask. There is usually a reason for the pairing. Cheetahs run fast (that should be a duh moment) and we drink coffee for the caffeine so we’ll hopefully reach a speed that resembles human instead of zombie. On top of that there used to be cheetahs in Turkey according to the Internet and when possible I try to put links in like that.
Hint hint – I also happen to know there’s at least one cheetah out there that like coffee. So, bonus.
