Gocco is for lovers

Kayla's drawing and Justin's Wii obsession have inspired me to create these two lovey designs for Valentine's Day. I have to admit that I usually don't do much for that holiday since it falls between our anniversary and Justin's birthday so I'm pretty sure Justin will be excited and surprised when he sees these. I'm giving him the "Wii belong together" print for a valentine and the "You're my Hero" print as a fan letter when he gets good enough to play Slayer on expert level.

I'm selling these in my shop for less than I normally charge for my drawings. Pricing really is the toughest part of selling art! These were sort of spur of the moment drawings and will be an open edition so I felt like they should be less. Tough call though.

My hero...

I spent the weekend with Kayla (my new mini sister-in-law) and she made this awesome guitar hero picture. Justin couldn't be prouder to be influencing his little sister to be a Nintendo enthusiast and I'm excited that she is really into drawing and craft projects.

We also did some interior design and she helped me stick a flock of birds to the formerly boring bedroom wall. I got the decals from One Up Designs and I think they look boss. Our bedroom is the most hated room in our apartment. We hate the size, wall color, brick wall-facing window and hospital light fixture. We're not happy about the bunny turd box in the corner either. So, I've been really trying hard to make it special in hopes that I will be encouraged to be tidy and stop leaving my clothing strewn about. The wall decals, new duvet, curtain and small rug so far have made a big difference. Our room was previously all different shades of dirty tan but the bold orange color and patterns are livening up what we previously called "the cave".
