In-Progress (Mother Earth)

You lucky reader, you. Here's another update for today. I figure I oughta post some work-in-progress to satiate your artistic appetite. This began as an ink drawing and now I am working on coloring it in Photoshop. Final image will be up as soon as it's done, but it's taking some time what with all the winding, detailed foliage she's got going on in her skirt-leg-roots. I feel like this would be good as a poster design of some sort, maybe for some folksy indie band....anyone got a folksy indie band that needs a design?

UPDATE:



finished! Real band, fake tour. This is going on the website.

Eco-Friendly Shopping Bags!

One of my Xmas presents to the chicks in my family. This is for my sister in Spain (hence the Spanish). The rhinestones did not want to stay on, however. More bags to come.

Late-Night Drawing Time!

Acrylic, gouache, and digital on printed paper.



Here's a little late-night experimentation for you! I have had this idea in my head--well more of a loose theme-- for years now, and I'm still trying to work it out. Here's just the bare-bones beginning of it trying to push outta my head. I do NOT take credit for the underlying design--out of laziness/curiosity/convenience I painted on top of some leftover [copyrighted, I'm sure] Christmas wrapping paper that I really like. So this is more of an unusable study if anything.

I saved all these process pics of it but now I am having trouble loading them without them ending up one on top of the other, rather than in order as I write about them in this post. Oh well. I am too tired to deal with the inevitable frustration that will come of trying to figure this problem out. So enjoy just the finished piece and the mystery of how I created it, and I'm going to sleep. Good night!

Happy Holidays!

Hope everyone had a good holiday season and a happy New Year! I know I did. Now to get back to work. Images of the Christmas presents I made for family and friends will be posted soon (Hint: It involves sewing, cute animals, and eco-friendliness)!
