Retrieving the Silver Hornet

Jasper

Wow. What a weekend. It all started when I took "Jasper" (pictured above) for a cruise up to Spokane to pick up my trusty steed "the Siver Hornet" (it's a wonderful 2001 Saab 9-3 that I bought summer 2009)

The "Hornet" was in spokane due to some weird electrical issues (i.e. horn honking and hazard flashing...while the car was off)

It was cold and blizzardy on the way up to Spokane so I decided to stop and grab an early brunch

Favorite diner in the Northwest has to be in Colfax at this amazing joint.

They have the most amazing burger within a 100 mile radius.

Top Notch.

If you need extra cholesterol, you can get it with this bacon, ham, and double beef patty sandwich.

After sharing some Kung Pow I raced back to Moscow's own Winco. I frantically shopped for all of the ingredients for our gluten free dinner with our friends Chris and Emily.

These rice paper wraps were my favorite part of the meal, but I'm a sucker for anything with bacon.

shrooms

Sausage and cream cheese stuffed mushrooms are a vicktrola staple. They make great sides and hors d'oeuvres.

strawberries

Strawberries are coming back into season and boy were these juicy and sweet.

A hot sauce monogram is a fun and tasty way to know where you're sitting.

Wraps also make a great facility for endless color combinations and scrumptious surprises.

Scrumptious Valentine

These bold red and white napkins are a household favorite, and how couldn't they be for only 10 cents at a yard sale.

Jimbo

Sparkling apple cider tastes great out of these amazing coke glasses from this eclectic store.

I, however, continue to drink this with vanilla coke regularly.

After dinner I enjoyed entertainment provided by these guys (another household favorite) in a whole new way. They have a new volume of movie riffs that include newer films such as Harry Potter, Drag me to Hell, and Avatar. You can find their newer material here.

My riffed movie of choice? The Matrix.

Needless to say it was a busy, fun filled and joyous occasion. It's a good thing some homework can be fun...like this charcoal on newsprint sketch.

The Storms and their Cellar

I have returned (at last) with new prints. I screen printed these little suckers with acrylic on poster board. This teal is one of my favorite colors.

ooo!

One of the objectives with these little flyers was to make sure that they were reminiscent of facebook but also took a step away from their classic dark blue color scheme, hence the lighter color.

I am content with the turn out of these little guys but I think I would prefer them letter pressed...I'm sure I'll get around to it eventually.

Print is a wonderful thing. 

My cousin Taylor is also graduating from high school and she's nothing short of a blonde bombshell.

See what I mean.

And while we're on the subject of bombshells...

I finally sold my trusty ol' Chevy, Horace, so here's bidding him adieu. I'll miss you.
