Halloween!

We've got a lot of Halloweeny stuff going on right now. The annual party is this Friday night, so I've been trying to get the house decorated and my costume figured out. There are not enough hours in the day!! So the portraits have gone on hold for this week.
The decoration theme this year is a haunted forest. We're working on a project to make crazy branches that will stick out from the walls everywhere. Also, I will be attaching them to our columns in the living room to turn those guys into trees!! Here's hoping it turns out the way I see it in my head. I just need some time!
This week I've closed 2 nights at work already! Gah! Such a bad week to close. I never usually have to close too much anymore, I don't mind it usually but it's just killing me this week because I have so much to do and not enough time!!!
I will post pictures as this house gets transformed. And if they branch thing turns out well, I'll post a how-to!

October!

Oh, I'm such a slacker with posting on here. I really have to work on that. :)
I have gotten another pet portrait done, Theodore. I love how this one turned out. I think it's my favorite portrait that I have done. And it's a cat, not a dog!
I'm in the process of working on a few more right now, the husky is still in progress, Spencer and Autumn. Along with my dad's tattoo sketch, which he was giving me a little shit for. I'm sorry dad, but I have a very limited  amount of free time! Especially last month and this one now, with the Halloween party & such.
I'm working on some awesome Halloween projects right now too. This year our decoration theme is a haunted forest. :) I just need to get paid so I can go get some supplies!
On another, unrelated to my art, note..I got a promotion at work. I am now a manager at the doggie daycare. :) so happy. Last month I got the opportunity to work at an animal shelter, which I loved! But then it got my bosses at the daycare to see how valuable I was there I guess. I talked with them about a manager position, which one boss was like maybe eventually. So I said, ok keep me in mind but I'm going somewhere I can advance. Next day-I'm manager! Bam. So I sadly had to leave the shelter. But I do plan on volunteering! Just have to get through this month.
