Apartment of Apryl Miller - designed by Apryl Miller and unnamed architect - Manhattan, NY (1990s)

Great example of the wild & wacky 'Whimsicraft' aesthetic popular in the 1990's, with touches of the 'Googie' revival as well.

The cover of a 3 ring binder. Has a nice design combining the McDonald's golden arches with the LAX Theme Building. To my knowledge this isn't easily found on the internet which is a shame because it really is a good design.

Will be donating the binder to the Route 66 McDonalds museum. The spine has a 'paid invoices' label on it so obviously it was used at the restaurant. Was purchased at a thrift store in So Cal some distance from the airport, no idea how it ended up there.

*Update, the museum was both delighted by the binder and confused to its purpose and questioned if it was for a convention. They shall investigate!

Funky Cacti

This week, we had to make a monochrome pattern for a duvet cover. I was still on a desert kick when I started coming up with ideas, and I just really wanted to draw a bunch of fun-looking cacti.

California coffee shops

A vivid style of modern restaurant architecture in Southern California carried vibrations from WWII and the atom bomb.

With the end of World War II, the United States became the undisputed world power as well as the leading economy, producing the largest share of the world’s goods. Many changes took place in American society as the soldiers returned. Suburbs sprang up with housing for growing families, shopping centers appeared, and many workers enjoyed prosperity. And a new type of eating place came into being,…

A small AI experiment. I tried to combine modernist aesthetics like bauhaus, memphis, googie etc. With Traditionalist aestethics like baroque or traditional chinese buildings

[stuckasmain]

California isn’t real to me because they have some of the most gorgeous remnants of mid century modern, space age, googie etc architecture. They have the most of it too and every single one is iconic and beloved

But they also consistently “who cares about this. Anyway who’s ready for a parkinglot and the ugliest fucking building you’ve ever seen? Whooo!”

Hi, i love your work. I was wondering if you could do a bunny x spirit reader where they're really good friends who secretly love each other, and the reader comes over to the warren a lot either to hang out or help bunny (we all know his stress is through the roof). The eggs all love reader and love to follow them around the warren. What if one time an egg accidentally somehow leaves with the reader without bunny or them noticing? And bunny can tell that one is missing and he is just freaking out and searching everywhere for it and its just with the reader. They both find out about the egg and it leads to a romantic confession from both of them? Hope you have a good day

The Matchmaking Egg.

Bunnymund x (fem guardian/spirit) reader.

It was a beautiful spring day in the Warren as Y/n strolled through the lush green grass and colorful flowers, a happy smile on her patterned skull face. The sentient Easter eggs bounced along behind her, chirping excitedly. They always loved when the Lady of the Dead came to visit.

"Ahh, there ya are!" a familiar Australian accented voice called out. Y/n looked up to see E. Aster Bunnymund, the Easter Bunny himself, hopping over with a grin. "The googies have been waitin' for ya all mornin'. Reckon they like you more than me at this point!"

Y/n laughed, the sound like musical chimes echoing through the Warren. "Oh Bunny, you know that's not true. They adore you! I'm just a fun distraction."

Bunny's green eyes sparkled with mirth as he reached Y/n and gave her a quick hug in greeting. "Well, I appreciate ya comin' to help out. This close to Easter, I can use all the spare paws I can get."

"I'm always happy to help," Y/n replied warmly as they began walking together, dozens of eggs trailing behind them like ducklings. "You know I love spending time here in the Warren with you."

"Me too, sheila," Bunny said, glancing at her fondly. "Your visits are the highlight of my days. Er, I mean, the eggs! The highlight for the eggs..." He cleared his throat awkwardly.

Y/n just smiled to herself. She knew Bunny cared for her as more than a friend, just as she harbored deep affection for the Pooka. But neither had gotten up the nerve to admit their true feelings yet. For centuries, they had danced around it, exchanging meaningful looks and "accidental" touches. Best friends on the surface, but bubbling with unspoken love underneath.

As they approached the Color River where eggs were dunked to receive their base coat, Bunny gestured to a set of paint brushes and dye bowls set out on a stone table. "Care to do the honors of helpin' paint some of the googies today?"

"I'd love to!" Y/n replied eagerly. Decorating eggs was one of her favorite parts of visiting the Warren. She picked up a brush and selected a rich purple dye, then began covering a blank eggshell in swirling patterns.

They worked companionably side by side for hours, chatting and laughing together. Y/n loved seeing the care Bunny put into each egg design, green eyes narrowed in concentration, pink tongue poking out. He was so dedicated to making each one special for the children.

As orange light began slanting into the Warren signaling late afternoon, Bunny set down his brush and stretched. "Reckon that's enough for one day. I'm downright starvin'! Care to join me for an early dinner?"

"That sounds perfect," Y/n smiled, gold and red eyes glowing. "Lead the way, conejito."

Bunny laced his paw with her skeletal hand as they headed for his Burrow, both secretly thrilling at the contact. He made them vegetable stew and fresh baked bread, which they ate in front of a crackling fire. Y/n sighed contentedly, feeling completely at peace.

Once the dishes were cleared away, Bunny walked Y/n back to the surface entrance of the Warren. "Thanks again for all your help today," he said sincerely. "Dunno what I'd do without ya."

"Oh, I think you'd manage," Y/n teased gently. "But I'm always happy to spend time with you, Aster." She reached up to stroke his furry cheek. "I should head back though. Early morning tomorrow for Día de los Muertos prep."

Bunny nodded, simultaneously craving her touch and fighting the urge to nuzzle into her palm. "Course, course. Well, see ya soon then?"

"Definitely," Y/n promised. With one last brush of hands, she turned and stepped into a portal, transporting herself home.

Once in her house in the Land of the Remembered, Y/n removed her large hat and gasped. There, nestled amongst the marigolds and candles, was a tiny Easter egg looking up at her.

"Uh, how did you get in my hat, little guy?" Y/n asked with bewilderment. "Bunny must be worried sick... I should probably bring you back to where you belong." She sighed, realizing her mistake. In her distraction saying goodbye to Bunny, she hadn't noticed the little egg had hitched a ride home with her.

Meanwhile, back at the Warren, Bunnymund was doing a final count of the eggs for the night when a spike of panic shot through him. One was missing! He frantically searched the Warren from top to bottom, calling out for the wayward egg, imagining it scared and alone. But it was nowhere to be found. Could it have wandered into one of his tunnels? Been snatched by a wandering elf looking for a snack?

His mind racing with terrible possibilities, Bunny was practically hyperventilating when a shimmering portal suddenly opened and Y/n stepped through, cradling something gently in her hands. "Missing someone?" she asked with a wry smile.

"Y/n! You're back!" Bunny bounded over to her and then froze when he saw what she was holding. "Wait... is that...?"

"I believe this little one accidentally came home with me," Y/n explained, carefully transferring the egg into Bunny's outstretched paw. "It must have snuck into my hat when we were saying goodbye. I'm so sorry Aster, I should have noticed-"

"No, no, it's okay," Bunny quickly reassured her, relief flooding through him that the egg was unharmed. He stroked its shell soothingly. "No harm done. I'm just glad the little ankle-biter is safe. Suppose it didn't want to say goodbye to ya either..." He smiled softly at Y/n.

Y/n returned the smile, her patterned cheeks taking on an almost blushing glow. "Well, can you blame it? I didn't exactly want to leave either..."

They gazed at each other for a long, charged moment. The egg in Bunny's paw started vibrating with excitement, as if it could sense the unspoken energy between them.

"Y/n..." Bunny started, then swallowed hard. It was now or never. "There's somethin' I gotta tell ya. Somethin' I shoulda said a long time ago..."

"What is it, Aster?" Y/n asked breathlessly, hands fluttering nervously by her sides. Could this really be happening?

Bunny took a deep breath and reached for her hand again. "Y/n, you're my best friend. Have been for centuries. But the truth is... it's more than that. So much more. I... I love you. I'm in love with you. Have been almost since the day we met. I know I'm just a washed up old rabbit, but-"

He was cut off as Y/n threw her arms around his neck, almost sending them toppling to the ground. "Oh Bunny," she whispered joyfully. "Mi amor, I love you too. So very much. I never dreamed..."

Bunny blinked rapidly, overcome with emotion. "Really? Ya mean it?"

In response, Y/n leaned in and pressed her lips gently against his. Bunny gasped and then melted into the kiss, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her close. After so many centuries of pent-up longing, the dam had finally burst, their love pouring out to merge and flow together as naturally as a stream joining a river.

When they finally pulled apart to catch their breath, Bunny was stunned to see tears shimmering in Y/n's eyes, making the gold and red glow even brighter. He brushed his thumb tenderly across her cheekbone. "Hey now, what's this? Why the waterworks, love?"

Y/n laughed wetly and reached up to hold his paw against her face. "I'm just so happy," she admitted. "I've loved you for so long, Aster. I never imagined we'd actually end up here."

"Me neither," Bunny murmured, pressing his forehead against hers. "Reckon I'm the luckiest Pooka in the galaxy." He looked down at the little egg still snuggled in his other paw. "And I owe it all to this little blighter!"

The egg quivered with pride, as if it had planned this all along. Y/n giggled and stroked its shell. "Guess you're our little matchmaker, huh pequeño? Thank you."

Bunny chuckled. "Remind me to paint this one extra special for Easter." He smiled at Y/n. "Now, what do ya say we return this munchkin to its mates and I make us a nice cuppa tea?"

"That sounds perfect," Y/n agreed happily, lacing her fingers with his. Hand in hand, hearts full to bursting, they headed back to the Burrow, the little egg bouncing along giddily behind them. It was the start of a beautiful new chapter, for both the Guardians of Hope and the Dead, all thanks to one adventurous little egg.

As they cuddled together on the sofa, sipping chamomile tea and exchanging soft kisses, Bunny knew he would never stop being grateful for that fateful day and the mischievous little googie that finally brought his love for Y/n out into the open. He squeezed her hand and she smiled up at him with those mesmerizing eyes, and he knew no matter what challenges they faced, as long as they had each other, it would be a bright and colorful future indeed. Hope and new beginnings, just like Easter and Día de los Muertos. Two holidays, two Guardians, two hearts, united as one. It was more than Bunny could have ever hoped for.
