The Flatiron Building
our spot is now a lovely sitting area

I often wonder how personal I should make my illustration blog. Should moduslotus.com maintain an air of professionalism and only blog about new work and dedication to craft? Well, whatever! Let's not think too much! Andy & I are engaged! And I wanted to share that with you ♥
............................................................
Friday morning, Andy went to a meeting with some editors at Marvel while I spent a few hours with my great friend Misha.
Misha is one of my favorite people - one of her talents is being a master storyteller - she can begin with an anecdote and have you completely dying in a few minutes. We went to Saint Alps Tea House near St. Mark's for strawberry tea and tiny coconut cakes.Hanging out in Manhattan with them always makes me nostalgic for my college days at School of Visual Arts
- before loans and health insurance! We walked down St. Mark's to
Toy Tokyo and then to
Cozy's Diner.
After parting from Misha in Union Square, we went to Brooklyn to meet up with Liz Artinian and see
Too Art 4 TV! an amazing gallery of illustration works done by people in the animation industry. So inspiring!
Liz took us back to Manhattan to visit
Venture Industries. Okay, it's actually
World Leader's Entertainment, the fab production studio behind Adult Swim's "The Venture Brothers". She is generous to a fault, and super cool. ★ Be sure to see the season premier of season 4 this Sunday!
Andy and I made our way back to the Flatiron building - the skinny, triangular building in the wedge where East 23rd St. becomes West and Broadway crosses Park. It's our spot. ♥
THE RED BOX : Back when we were dating, Andy and I lived in two different states - NY and MA, and we would meet at the red newspaper box in the little triangle median strip. Now, that area is completely torn up and paved over, and in it's place is a charming sitting area. We bought this print from Ikea, which just serendipitously HAD out red news box in the photo! Now it's above our bed.After getting some hot apple cider and sugar waffles, we looked up at the Empire State Building together and he proposed! ♥
I said yes, and it's been a full 24 hours and I'm still pretty sure I'm about this thing! Haha, I kid.
