Happy Halloween, 3 days later

Here's a quick lil' post for ya, one that I didn't plan on doing until about, ohhh 3 seconds ago. But hay hay! Sometimes I ride the waves of spontaneity! (so not true)

So Happy Halloween to all those who love the holiday as much as I do. We had a bit of a party at our little Brooklyn Park house. We worked hard all week preparing, eating candy, crafting spookies, eating candy, decorating, making ghosts out of tampons, and eating candy. Did I already mention eating candy? Oh Yeah, there's no end in sight. Anyhooo.




Can you guess who I was? Here's a hint: He's the ghost with the most, baby.
That's right! Beetlejuice! Good job. Ok ok. That's enough. Don't say it again.
Haha! You're so funny. But really, just not a third time. Please.
Wait, no don't...don't do it...no.....NO! NOOOOO!!!!!!!
(ok I'm done)



Roommate Photo! We may have to blow this up and put it on our dining room wall...



I'm clearly madly in love with whomever I'm looking at outside the frames of this picture. That's my "lurve you" face. Or my, "damn, you're good lookin" face. Who it may be? I may never know.

These photos were taken expertly by my best friend, who took the time to set up an area of the house like a photo booth, and then man it all night long. She ended up with 250 or so pictures from that night. Whoa.

I've pretty much been MIA lately because of this really fun and exciting project that I've been working on. I was asked to hang some drawings up in a cafe near my hood. Well, instead of hanging up work that I already have (silly silly idea), I decided to produce all new pieces. So, for the last two weeks, a day in the life of Brooke basically went like this: Wake up, yawn, stretch, go to work, bust out some pastries for the ladies, go home, stretch, put on stretch pants, brew some coffee, and sit down and draw for 6 hours. Stretch in stretch pants. Go to bed. That, and Halloween prep have consumed me completely.
Alas, I finally hung my work yesterday. Now I'm free. Freeeeeeee! Free to start more drawing. I'm an addict. I wish I could post pictures, but I didn't have the opportunity to scan them. But if you're in the Portland Metro Area, please check them out. They're at Cafe Pallino located at 3003 SE Division St, Portland, OR 97202.
On to the next, I say!!!
