Esther Pearl Watson & Tammy Pierce

Last might I attended the Domy Houston opening for Mark Todd's solo show "Oh, Man New Painting and Works on Paper" with my friend Anilyn. The show will by up through the month of June and be up through July 23. So, you have no excuse not to see this show. Here is a link to the invite to get a little super hero taste. My favorite drawings/paintings were a small metal framed set of drawing with elements of collage, with varied drawings on waxy translucent vellum.

On Friday night at Domy Austin, was an opening for Esther Pearl Watson, who happens to be Mark Todd's wife, so she was at Mark's opening here in Houston. Yes, So as you can see I bought her book "Unlovable" and she was so gracious to sign it and do an amazing illustration of Tammy Pierce, title character of Esther's monthly comic in bust magazine entitled "Unlovable". Esther was super sweet to draw this amazing illustration of Tammy as seen in the photos above. I sure hope someday I can be as proficient and comfortable drawing so ninja style. I am still pretty slow. But at any rate, drop by Domy to see Mark Todd's work and pick up a set of prints and also, you might want to pick up a copy of "Unlovable", it's a riot for all you 80's kids and 80's fans. Pure fun.

On the way to Brasil & Domy

I should have taken a photo of the breakfast I made for my mom's bird Leonard. He had a great breakfast. My mom takes great care and creativity in making his breakfast, so I had a lot of little tidbits to choose from; apples, potatoes, berries, carrots, peanuts, almonds and balls of seed, not to mention a few indulgent choices. After feeding Ms. Leonard I went to seek out Buc-ee's, I love that little logo, not sure what Buc-ee is exactly,a beaver I think, but when I saw the billboard on my way up to Sugarland, I knew I had to visit. I have to say it did not disappoint, it was so much fun. Really it is a large scale gas station and convenience store with unique country style treats like jerky, pastries, kettle corn, pralines, fudge and their famous Buc-ee's Beaver Nuggets. I guess that answers my question... Beaver. They have a little coffee shop too. But, alas I had other plans for breakfast or I would not have stopped at the $10 T-shirt special and got a frappe and a pastry. I was off to Brasil in town, to have some coffee and quiche and visit Domy.

A long story short, here is a photo of the last few bites of my sausage and broccoli quiche. It was delicious and just the right amount of food. I enjoyed it and ended up getting a little fun toy from Domy designed by Nathan Jurevicius for Toy Tokyo. The blind box series is named Peleda,I got the silver one.
