this week in pictures

I went to the book release party of my friend Steve Gordon for his new book, 100 Habits of Successful Freelance Designers.

The beautifully designed and illustrated book is geared toward graphic designers, but everyone in the creative industries can gain knowledge and inspiration from Steve and the other designers who contributed to this amazing book.

And that’s us! Obligatory long-armed iPhone picture.

As I often mention, we have an amazing neighborhood shop that serves homemade ice cream in so many creative flavors. I deserved some after the Omaha Pillow Fight. (I even lost a button on my shirt!)

Turbo the Cat thought he deserved some too. But much to his dismay, he is an indoor cat.

This is a picture I took up the street from my house on Underwood, a fun local street filled with shops and boutiques, cute little restaurants, and this decidedly not-so-picturesque gas station. The clock is cool, though–I can hear it chime every 15 minutes from our house.

Part of a large flower order I just did that was super heavy on the rhinestones and vintage lace.

Getting ice cream (again), and Professor Lasertron giving a rare peek at his constant reminder of his hardcore punk past. It’s Thor fighting…Jörmungandr. I had to google the name of Thor’s dragon. I think he should finish the sleeve…see how Thor’s poor little foot just trails off into nothing? I guess that’s when Dave’s time was up at the tattoo parlor.

When I started dating Dave, he came to the lake a few times to swim and my parents couldn’t help but notice his tattooed arms and legs. When I told them I was serious about him, my dad’s first response was “Well I don’t want my grandchildren coming out with tattoos.” Funny.

I don’t have any ink and I most likely never will. Do you?
