I also caved and signed up with Twitter (again). This time my account will be dedicated solely to my artwork. Follow me if you like! www.twitter.com/iggystarpup
I've been a busy little bee lately and done a few more embroidery hoops. I simply can't get enough of them. They're all I want to do! This is BAD! I mustn't neglect my illustration too much. That is what I went to school for after all. But I just love being able to have a piece completed in less than 3 hours. Also, it's not as easy to sell very large illustrations unless you have them up in a gallery. Anyway, here's some recent hoops I've done.

I would like to do a Ponyo or a Jiji hoop next but alas, I am out of hoops at the moment. I'd like to work on my fox drawing today but that might not happen. I've been having so much car drama lately and I'd like to get it taken care of today. For the past year I've had a problem with my tire. The "Low Tire" light has been coming on steadily and more frequently since I bought the cursed tire last July. I've been to Discount Tire nearly a dozen times and every time they have some lame explanation of why the tire is leaking air but not once have they admitted that it's the defective tire they sold me. I even paid for the free tire replacement so you'd think that they'd have no problem just giving me a new tire just to get rid of me. But NOOOOOOO. My tire has gone flat countless times recently and since I don't have a cell phone it's been extremely stressful. I never know when I go somewhere if my tire is going to go flat and leave me stranded. It started out as a slow leak but now it's going flat in 2 days or less. For weeks they've been insisting that my wheel was the culprit so 3 days ago I was hoodwinked into buying a brand new $100 wheel (and given my current financial situation, that is a LOT of money). The dude told me that my tire should be just fine now and that I shouldn't have any more trouble with it...
WRONG!
The next day my "Low Tire" light came on yet again. I had them check the tires again and in less than 24 hours I'd lost 3 lbs of air. Interesting. I thought the new wheel was supposed to fix everything. All the guy could say was, "Huh, that's weird." and THEN he tried to blame it on my car's sensors. Oh, yes, it's the SENSORS now. UGH! When I came home and told my father that the new wheel didn't fix the problem and he went bat-shit crazy (he didn't think it was the wheel from the beginning--but a shitty tire). So today we're going back and he's going to go mental in the store until they agree to 1.) Give me my money back for the wheel 2.) Put my original wheel back on and 3.) Install a brand new tire. If these conditions are not met he wants to drive to Discount Tire's headquarters (which is located in Scottsdale) and go bat-shit crazy on the President of the company. Naturally, I'm very stressed about this situation and am experiencing considerable intestinal discomfort at the moment.
Le sigh...
Well, I guess that's what Dad's are for.
Wish us luck!
Laterz!
