August.

Along with a gazillion other projects I have going on I decided why not start another one! Hopefully by the end of this year I plan to have all illustrations and designs done for a 2012 calendar. I don't really know how anyone can obtain one but for right now it might be a x-mas present for a bunch of awesome people. Maybe it will be the first thing to make it to my Etsy store. Yes my Etsy store is yet another project in hiatus as well. We'll see how it all goes.

Sea Creatures.

I have been working on a few little drawings on wood based on some sea creatures like octopi, squids and eventually a few more other things but for now I just have these two little drawings to show. The Squid drawing is colored pencil on thin birch wood and is part of my bookmark series. It measures 6" x 2.25". The octopus is also colored pencil on a slice of wood and is approximately 9" x 6.25". I know I said I would not use colored pencil anymore on wood but I just like it so much more than paint. Stay tuned for more to come!

Sketchbook Doodle: Panda Express

This was just something I was doodling up in some free moments here and there. Thought I would just color it in Photoshop and add some textures to it and keep the quality of the sketch. I don't know what it means but I have been thinking about making a little panda bear plush sometime in the near future...

Signs of Life....Card Crafting Weekend!

So I know it's been awhile since my last post. I have few projects going on at once but nothing really completed! I have so many things I want to work on and so many important other things I have to work on too! Oh well, in the meantime I had sort of a 5 day mini vacation where I made these cards. The birthday card is for my mom and the hello card is for my grandma. I wish I could tell you what papers I card crafted with but all that I know is I had some random bits and pieces from Cosmo Cricket and My Mind's Eye. I also had these neat little adhesive backed chipboard stickers, one from K and Company and the other from Cosmo Cricket laying around. Once of these days I plan to make stuff with the actual papers and embellishments that I design at my job The Paper Company Studio but I haven't yet. Hey if you want to take a look check it out!

I'm still alive and kicking and hopefully there will be some more posts coming soon! Thanks for looking!!

IF: Launch

For this weeks Illustration Friday, Scout takes off in a rocket to check out what space is like and if there is cheese on the moon for her buddy Liz (me).

Detective 8 Legs.

Another drawing with colored pencil on wood. However I think this maybe one of my last ones for a while. It's killing my pencils too quickly. He's needs a better name but I have no ideas. Anyone?
