I Vant to Suck Your Blaaaad

Yeah, vampires might be getting pretty played out by now. They've come in all shapes and sizes and sparkles. And inevitably, as this trend careens down the highway of Over Saturation screaming, "No Brakes! No Brakes!", it's picked up mainstream comics. Now I know there are some amazing vampire comics out there (30 Days of Night, American Vampire to name a couple), but I don't really see a reason for Dracula to visit the X-Men. That is in no way meaning that I won't pick up those issues! Previews for issue one here. And Marvel has released some awesome variant covers staring your favorite heroes as creatures of the niiight!
P.S. Of course I'm seeing Eclipse next week. I may dress like a boy, but I'm still a girl underneath.

Wonder Woman!

Am I the only one who thinks the new Wonder Woman costume is super lame? You know I love me some Jim Lee, but this design reeks of the 90's. That jacket is butt ugh and who wears a choker anymore? She's also getting a new back story cause those Gods are crazy!
From Comic Alliance:
"The Gods, for reasons of their own but which may have something to with their survival and perhaps the survival of Earth itself, have changed the timeline. In the new timeline, years ago the Gods removed their protection from Paradise Island, and left it vulnerable to attack. 
It's now nearly twenty years later. Diana has been raised in an urban setting, but with a foot in both worlds. She has little or no memory of the other timeline. She knows only what she's been told by those who raised her On the run, hunted, she must try to survive, help the other refugee Amazons escape the army that is still after them, discover who destroyed Paradise Island and why...and if the timeline can be corrected or not. She also does not yet have access to her full powers, but will be gaining them as she goes."
Of course, for a character as old as Wonder Woman to stay relevant, you gotta spice some stuff up. I like the idea of a harder, street smart Wonder Woman, but I hate hate hate when retcons like this.
And I will miss those flag undies.

AHHHHHH!!!! Been gone for awhile. And summer is finally here!
-Bought a house. Love it.
-Was outside too long pulling the tons of weeds we have in our backyard. Burnt it.
-Went to the HOW Design Conference. Learned it.
-Got back on the bike and tackled Bingham Hill. Killed it then hurt it(my tuchas).
-Got up to Volume 6 of Fables. Read it. Yeah, you!
Looking forward to a summer of no wedding planning, barbeques, beer and bike rides.

Success!!!

The Co-Op art show was a huge success! The place was packed with hipsters as far as the eye could see. There was so much amazing art there too! Fort Collins is chock full of talented people. And they even let me hang around them for awhile.

I don't know how, but my piece got bought! Excuse the crappy scan job. It looks better in person, I swear. Thank you to however bought it and thank you so much to my super supportive friends who came down to hang. I stole these pictures from the Co-Op's website, go here to see the rest!

Pretty Bags

Found these on Etsy from a Fort Collins designer who runs Swing Station Studio (possibly the coolest name for a business ever). She has great handmade purses and wallets in all sorts of funky patterns. I want pretty much everything in her store. She even does custom orders! Check her shop out and shop local, homies!

Mustache March

My husband is awesome.

Rogue knitters terrorize Jersey!

In West Cape May, N.J., a secret group of knitters, calling themselves the "Salty Knits," have been running around at night and knitting sleeves on whatever they can. Viva la revolution.

Read more in the article below, though I do disagree with them calling knitting a "relatively boring hobby." Trees gotta stay warm too. "Nocturnal Knitters Tag Up New Jersey Town"

Co-Op Art Show

If you live in the greater Fort Collins/Cheyenne area, I invite you to attend the 1st Ever Bike Co-Op Art Show on April 2nd! There will be live music, beer from O'Dells, and some cool local art. I'm submitting a piece, but don't let that turn you off.
For those not familiar, the Fort Collins Bike Co-Op is a non-profit organization who's goal is "building community through bicycling." One of their coolest programs is their "Earn-A-Bike" program. Just like it sounds, you volunteer to earn a bike! For more info on the art show or the co-op, visit the co-op's website here.
When bicycles and art combine, it's a beautiful thing, so I hope to see yall there!

Too much snow

I need a drink at an airport bar while waiting on my flight to somewhere warm.
