Day#25: Going with my cousin

Happy Saturday, hope yours was awesome.

25 Days Down, 34 Till Disney World.

So not only do I get to go to DisneyWorld with my aunt Grace, I also get to go with my super awesome, super talented, super artsy, super creative cousin Heather Dixon. She's pretty much the bee's knees!

She loves everything about Disney, especially Mary Poppins. To top it off she actually works for Disney!!!!!! (As a storyboard artist). :O say what? I'm basically related to a celeb. Here's a link to her awesome blog.

She's a blast, and when I was younger I basically idolized her. She was like this artsy super hero, and basically encouraged me to embrace my own artsy-ness when I was a teen drawing the 7 dwarfs from Snow White. I doubt that Heather remember's that at all, or realizes it, but she's a big part of why I felt like I could be an artist professionally and why I later got into Graphic Design.

Now that I'm older my admiration of her has turned into a silent competition! (shhhh don't let her know...) Thanks Heather for inspiring and motivating me to be more awesome all the time! I'm so stoked that I get to go to Disney World with one of my favorite cousins; were going to have a blast! What could be more fun than that? I ask you???

Getting all psyched up for DisneyWorld! Not that you could tell!

Also, To commemorate the momentum of my excitement I've immortalized my cousin Heather in Pony. I love My little Pony, and this was a fun bit of art to throw together.

As for working out today... Yeah that didn't happen. I always tell myself that I'm going to do Saturday workouts but then never do. lol. Silly Elyse. That's okay, I'll do better in the future.

  1. I've kind of melted into the floor! My gosh, this is ADORABLE!!! I love MLP and Star Wars...it's like you know me ^_^

    Seriously I'm SUPER excited to be going to Disney World with a fellow (incredibly talented) artist & cousin ^_^ We are going to rock it. And I don't think you ever need to worry about competing...you are scores ahead of me. (I'm still getting soooo many compliments on your typography design from Illusionarium.)
