Bumbling Bob

Bumbling Bob is a shy little bunny who's most prized possession is a small herb garden that he moves around the house. He is always looking for the window that has the best sun light coming through. He hopes to one day use his herb garden to garnish a fancy fest for all his friends.

He is now available in my etsy shop.

Shiny New Cards!

After years of outdated information and tired stock I got myself on gear and designed new colorful, character friendly business cards. It was so excited to wake up at noon to the ring of the door bell and a maniac barking dog... to sign for a package and not know what it was.... hopefully it won't explode. OH WAIT! It's my new cards! Oh wow! That was a fast turn around!

Look at the cute bull and the cow jumping over the moon... silly cow, there's only sheep on the other side. Thank you Florida Wholesale Printers for my new cards! Now I can finally give cards away that I am proud off and have all my current information.

Ok, so fine the cards are not "shiny". I am not trying to deceive you, I just like the word shiny. I wanted the cards to have a matte finish, they look more professional* that way... yes I know, there are cartoons on it, but now they are professional cartoons. They have a matte finish after all.

*Why I think matte is professional. Because super glossy cards are for night clubs, which I don't consider professional. So the opposite of super glossy is matte. The End.

Peligrozo on vacation in Celestun

The town of Celestun is located on the west coast of the Yucatán, a "short" drive from Mérida. The town has many beach restaurants and they serve the best seafood Peligrozo Azul ever had the pleasure to eat. But be warned, the drive to this beautiful beach town is not for the weak of stomach. There are no highways or big roads, you have to drive through all the quaint small town and there are bout 300 topes on the way there. What are topes you ask? They are the biggest, meanest speed bumps you will ever encounter. Visit Celestun if you dare... I recommend eating at Restaurante La Playita and ordering the ceviche. Also make sure to stay for sunset.

View some of Celestun's sunset images here.

Peligrozo Azul on Vacation

It had been a few years since Peligrozo Azul had gone back to his home-land, the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico. Since it had been a long time coming he decided to scheduled a 9 day stay in the peninsula. Peligrozo Azul booked a flight, made reservations at a resort in Playa del Carmen and rented a car. He wanted this trip to be pampering, relaxing with some adventures.

The first 4 days he would spend in an all-inclusive, adults only resort,the Royal Hideaway in Playacar. He wanted to make sure it was adults only since all year-round he plays and performs for kids... this was a vacation after all. From his location in Playacar he visited the island of Cozumel, which is only a 30 minute ferry ride. There he went snorkeling in the gorgeous blue Caribbean water of the island with beautiful tropical fishes. He also rented a scooter to drive around the island. Driving the scooter turned out to be more terrifying than wrestling El Demonio Negro, but game him the chance to see a more quiet side of Cozumel.

After his relaxing stay in the Riviera Maya area he boarded his rental car and took to the road to Merida, there he would stay with other luchador friends. The stay in the Colonial city was also very nice and relaxing, it gave Peligrozo a chance to visit less touristy areas and eat more traditional foods... mercado tamales are awesome! Some of the places he visited where the Merida centro, the mercado, government buildings, universities and ruins. He also had the chance to visit Secestun, a beautiful beach town on the west coast of the Yucatan. There he eat at a beach restaurant, La Playita, they had the best seafood he has ever had. This trip to Yucatan Peninsula was almost perfect. The only thing that went wrong was that his rental car (Blueway car rental) broke down twice... well not literally the same car. His first car broke down, he got a replacement and then the second car also broke down. But maybe that was the adventure he needed.
