adventures!

so on my last day, i get an assignment from the new york times for the letters page about reading aloud.
it was a pleasant surprise since i didn't think they would give me anything so soon, but like i said, a pleasant surprise!


these were the first round of sketches:





then i was informed that animals doing human things is something the paper stays away from so leanne asked the sketches to be more direct and with humans.
2nd round!






this is the final. its going to be on the letters page of the op ed section sometime this week so get the paper guys! its tiny so don't overlook it :)



see you all soon!
and a very happy birthday to my friend shasha, who can finally go buy a legal beer!



!!!

new york has been amazing! today is the last day :( but I'm really happy to be going home too. Christine and I took a lot of photos, but not as many as we could have because she forgot the cable :( its okay! we kept the best ones. 
We've been getting around town just by looking on yelp for the best food in town, which has been working out beautifully!
We went to Random House yesterday and everyone was so niceeee!!!!! I wish all of them were in my family tree. It's such a new experience showing your work to people who you could one day work with, but I'm just so glad people are friendly because it minimizes my flustered nature, haha!

weeee i can't wait to see all my friends!
