OoO La La Paper!

     Been busy these past couple weeks with commissions *YEEEE*!   Found out a couple days ago that it's our neighbor's daughters' birthday this weekend and thought I'd make them a little something with their favorite characters.  So commissions on hold for this weekend, let me introduce my little 5x7" summer beauties!

I've never worked with layered paper works this small before so this was definitely a learning experience, which is always a good thing!

They eventually came together... learning experience officially a success!

Happy Birthday Alexis and Stephanie!  Now back to commissions!

Sir Christopher Lee Tribute

     

           A little quick post for the late Sir Christopher Lee.  You have brought joy and inspiration to countless lives and will forever be remembered.  Here's to a beautiful life, CHEERS!

And Away We GO!

                     If you couldn't tell by the subtly of that doodle, we're going to Disneyland tomorrow!!!  So excited!  It's been a couple years since I've been to the happiest place on earth so this is definitely exciting!  Joe and I decided this trip will be a belated one year anniversary for us.  So as a reward of making through one year of marriage with each other we are going to stuff our faces with churros, fill our ears with Disney music till we're numb, and right the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad to my heart's content!

Before I go I wanted to share a little piece I did for a friend of mine.  It was a very emotional little creation but it was worth every minute knowing how much it meant to her and her husband to have this image in her home.

A Day For Dailee

Til next time!  TTFN, ta-ta for now!

An Audrey Autumn

Well it's been a busy month again!

I've been working non-stop on both a Gatsby Gala flyer/postcard for Berkeley City Club's upcoming Gatsby Gala this February and putting the finishing touches on Arlene Taylor's Tyler Loves Tape children's book illustrations...
I'm so happy to be so busy!  But I needed to take a break and draw something completely random and unrelated to anything I had been working on.  It has been pouring rain the past couple days and I couldn't resist.  So I introduce to you an Autumn Audrey

And here is the Berkeley City Club's Gatsby Gala Flyer!  Dates are subject to change

Ok!  Now back to work!

A Cafe Racer Kind of Summer

Been a little bummed about not being able to go riding since I wrecked my Triumph . . . 

Ironically enough I started this piece before my moment of idiot and felt like finishing it today.

I was watching a documentary on the cafe racers in England back in the 50's and figured I'd use that as fuel for this piece (no pun intended).  One of the popular hangouts was on this soot ridden motorway, so why not incorporate this iconic atmosphere.  What is a motorcycle without some grime? 

 I've been super busy working on illustrations for a children's book by Arlene Taylor called Tyler Loves Tape.  Hopefully it will be up and running by January!

Here is my design for the Teacher.

Also completed the save the date flyer for an upcoming art show at Berkeley City Club in January.

 It's been a busy month...

Wedding Invitation

Here's a little preview of the wedding invitations I'm designing.  Let the invitation construction commence!

Introducing- Peter's Lost Boys

Been super busy this past week so I stretched this out longer then I wanted BUT here they ARE! The rough drawing for Peter Pan's squad of Lost Boys.

Might still tweak a few things, then it's on to color! To draw these boys stagnant would be a crime, so they'll definitely be battling something in their next appearance

On The Town

I've been a little obsessed with musicals lately... so here is a little flamboyance for you!

The past couple weeks has been a cluster of different medias for me.  Went out for an afternoon and messed around very primitively with water color and ink again

Also been messing around with charcoal again... back to BASICS!

 Working on the rest of J.M. Barrie's Lost Boys, so expect them soon!

Sourgrass

It was so sunny today I couldn't resist drawing something girlie . . .

Summer Umbrella

I'm so excited for summer! Hurry up!

Old Western Store Fronts

With a twist!  A couple store fronts from my Rabbit Season story

Potbelly Pig

Decided to work some more on my Rabbit Season story!



 

Yee-HA!
