We got in late Tuesday night. Our flight was delayed about an hour and a half, but we did make up some of it in the air.
The first night, we just kind of settled in and watched Planet Earth: Seasons in BluRay.
In the morning, we woke up to this:
The view from Nancy and Tim’s balcony is amazing. They’re such gracious hosts for letting us crash at their place.
I could really get used to weather like this.
After a quick breakfast of french toast, we went to the Amoeba:
This is a crazy large music and DVD store. They sell tons of used stuff. It’s not a place where you go to browse, but to go in with a plan to find something cool and obscure.

The talented triple-threat (designer, illustrator, writer), Mr. Stefan G. Bucher, turned 35 today. Stefan has been a good friend to me these past 2 years, & he’s been kind enough share his work & keep me company during the wee hours of the morning (seeing how we share similar sleeping schedules).
Today, NvP had the pleasure of celebrating Stefan’s birthday with the man himself!
Before entering his cool apartment, we were greeted by his flock of festive flamingos.
Oh, and here’s the birthday boy with plushy monster number 80. I commissioned Wenny to crochet this little guy, after all she did such a bang up job making amigurumi versions of us!

It feels like it’s my birthday all over again. This week, I’ve been receiving such wonderful, thoughtful packages. Really, thank you!
NvP reader, fellow Daily Monster OS participant, and all-around nice gal, Tiffany Nelson, sent me this precious, sterling silver origami penguin necklace that she made. I’m incredibly touched. It’s just beautiful! Thank you so very much, Tiffany!
At one agency, I had the pleasure of working for Mr. David Wish (he was my studio manager). Then at another agency, I had the privilege of working alongside him. We spent so many late nights at the office. Not a very pretty time in our lives, but we’ve shared a lot of fun, laughs, and cups of coffee with each other. Now David works at CLI (one of my printers/proofers), and he hand-delivered my Daydream Believer proof. I love the smell of proof paper. Danke, David!
I first met Ms. Ophelia Chong through NvP, and the more I get to know her, the more inspired I get. She is a funny, talented lady who is very generous with her time. 谢谢你 for sharing your projects with me and for this sweet care package. Mango dofu? Haven’t had that in a while!

I’m on a bit of a portrait roll.
Stefan kindly volunteered to be a victim for one of my hair portraits. But he’s got pretty good bone structure, so I figured why not? I’ll just ink his face. The hair portrait will have to wait for now.
It was a lot of fun, but I went a little overboard with the shading in the face. I think I just aged him… @__@
But I’m not afraid to bare it all—good and bad—to you guys.

As you can see, Stefan’s a lot more cheery and youthful in person.
Happy inking,
Ninja

I haven’t been this antsy with anticipation over a book since James Jean’s Process Recess 2. Here’s a quick preview of Mr. Stefan G. Bucher’s 100 Days of Monsters (due out in March). The book is $13.59 on Amazon, so each monster costs less than 14 cents. But wait, there’s more. It comes with a DVD with all the monster clips!
I love the monster color code legend!
Aww, look at that ornery fellow lurking behind the bar code. Isn’t he cute?
