Cation designs, but also draws the life of Walnut, Cat Extraordinaire.Tumblr (3.0; @cationdesigns)http://cationdesigns.tumblr.com/<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2qtjuxqwp1rt30zeo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>My husband’s good friend and Modern Warfare 3 buddy is getting married this weekend. Unfortunately, it’s also the same weekend as the cherry blossom festival, thereby ensuring that traffic and parking in Japantown is going to be a nightmare. They were joking that they should gun down all the cherry trees so that there couldn’t be a festival anymore, so of course I had to make that into the wedding card. The giraffes on the poster on the building are from their wedding invitation. <br/><br/>It is obvious from my drawing that I have no idea what the gun is supposed to look like. I just drew lots of squiggles and lines.</p>http://cationdesigns.tumblr.com/post/21393843193http://cationdesigns.tumblr.com/post/21393843193Thu, 19 Apr 2012 13:14:00 -0700wedding cardcod mw3<img
