The inspiration behind the character of Oli is my dog Oscar. I just thought it would be hilarious if this little guy could transform into a giant beast! Oscar has his own harrowing tale of survival though. My sister found him as a stray roaming the streets in front of her school. She tried to pick him up when Oscar made a break for it, heading directly towards the main boulevard. Fortunately, she chased him down in time and took him home. His body covered in dirt, his fur knotted, and for some reason he was covered in stickers. Six years later, and he's living a much happier life. He's a little neurotic, but hey...that's just Oscar.

Worked on the final touches of the website today. Everything looked great, just like I wanted it to, so I went ahead and published it. I opened FireFox and lo' and behold...nothing, just a blank page. Yikes! After about two minutes of constant refreshing, called my hosting company, waited on hold for about twenty five minutes (watched Adam Richman devour eight tacos in the meantime) and got the problem fixed. Whew! Close one, but it's all good now. Website is up and looking great!

Banner for the website designed and created by my brother Nik. Really happy with it. Thanks bro!

Edited the digital proof online, but really needed to see it in person. Final proof arrived in the mail this week, and it's a bit surreal to finally have it in my hands. Going through it one last time before publication. Here we go...
