The Renaissance Faire

We only live twenty minutes away from one of the best Renaissance Faires in the country and I finally took Bobby last Saturday (27 Aug 2011). Here are some pictures from our journey.

Illustrator Tutorial

I'm currently working through some amazing Illustrator tutorials and wanted to share this snowflake that I created . The Illustrator graphic looks like this before all of the fx that I added in both Illustrator and Photoshop.



And by adding only fx (not drawing any more lines) I created this...

Netflix logo

I figured out how to replicate the Netflix logo in Illustrator using fx on Futura Condensed Medium with the tracking set at 200. Then I made Name logos for my family.

Pack Meeting

I made this (rather generic) agenda for our monthly pack meetings.


I created the top three in illustrator. I Photoshopped out the background and placed the background, tree, Akela and Baloo at the bottom, then added a transparent gradient. Fun times!

Strange things are amiss at the Crenshaw home.

I am a little under the weather and my sleeping schedule is so off right now. (Notice the time of this post...4 am) I only attended the first hour of church and then went home. Cooked some ribs and slept on and off for the rest of the day. I wake up randomly at 3:30am and suddenly remember that today is garbage day and I need to take the garbage to the curb. Then I get confused as I see this in the middle of the road in front of our house....



Yes... That really is a decapitated stuffed polar bear....Here is a picture of just the head...


So now here I sit in my sleepy sick hazy state....wondering...trying to figure out... What on earth is going on?

Is this some sort of death threat? Maybe some one "dropped" a three foot, stuffed, polar bear out of their car window on accident...That can't be right... 

Too sleepy to figure it out now...maybe you have some thoughts....

Chicago Trip

Isabelle and I went to Chicago this past weekend. We had a great time. Here are some pictures from our trip.
































Just so you know, that is an IBC root beer that Isabelle is drinking.
