Retro

When I was a kid, I loved drawing out good 'ol fashioned bubble letters. Any poster project was a chance to showcase my superior artistic skillz! This, mind you, was ages before I discovered the scourge that is Comic Sans. 

Here's to the days in which I worshiped balloon letters, the curvier the better!

The desert

That vacation went by fast... :(

The end of a lovely break has coincided with endless amounts of rain. Perfectly mirrors my anxiety and dread surrounding the next few weeks. At least this colorful take on the desert theme cheers me up a little.

City by the sea

My break is coming to an end, but I've still got the weekend! Hope it goes by real sloooow. 

I have to say, the South is a lot nicer than I originally thought, and Charleston has become one of my favorite cities by far. The beautiful old mansions with their generous porches and elaborate staircases, the strong presence of water, the shrimp corndogs at Amen Street Fish & Raw Bar... yes, I was very sad to leave indeed.

During my visit, I came across a miniature replica of what Charleston looked like when it was still Charles Towne back in the colonial days. I thought the shoreline seemed particularly interesting, so I recreated a retro version of it here. Today, the half-moon battery, depicted in black, is many feet underground. 

Charleston is still very colorful, though, and I can't wait to go back!

Have a good one!
