IF: Worn

This is my illustration for this weeks topic. I was kind of thinking about those good old jeans you love sooo much you can't stop wearing 'em until you got holes in your knees... I'm not totally sure if this works but hell why not...
enjoy

Card Crafting Evening!

I thought I would share my accomplishments for the night. I'm pretty proud of them and I wish I could make decent cards when I HAVE to make them at work. I guess I just have a tendency to work better at home when not pressed for time when it comes to this particular designing. Awful to say that I am not using any of the papers I designed at work. Awful awful awful! I do have two pretty cute lines tho-so maybe one of these days I'll craft something and post it on here.
I really love my card for my dad! It should go nicely with the homemade brownies I am going to have to bake at the end of the week for Father's Day. I really think I need to start making more cards for everyone just to use up all this stuff I have here plus most importantly being creative!
Double Yay!

IF: Craving

I know it's been awhile! I haven't really post anything since I have been home from my vacation. I've been busy drawing, painting and thinking up a tattoo design! I will share when it's done. However I am going to try my damn hardest to keep up with blogging. I'd also like to share that my etsy store is being worked on...more like the stuff I plan on selling is being worked on. I need a name for stuffed toys! Hmmm..well in the meantime here's my newest illustration. Enjoy!

Japan-ness!

Twas the night before Friday...

Unfortunately this week I will not have a posting for Illustration Friday! It's been weeks since I posted an illustration. I should post more stuff on here but I never remember too! I feel like time is going by way to quick! It's been two weeks since my really awesome vacation in Japan. I really had a great time there. There is just way too much to see and too much to cram into literally 7 days! I would definitely like to go back sometime in the future and see more of it but for now I would like to visit places in the US since there really is a lot here to see and do. However I think the next country I want to go to is Australia and my cousin lives there so that will be a good reason to go there. I can't wait. I am excited to see more of this world we live in!

Sooo once again I have found another hobby to tap into. I picked up this really cute book called Doodle stitching which is all hand done embroidery and its looks so cute. It's basically drawing with thread. I have been putting it off because I need to pay off my expenses from my trip but eventually I want to head over to a art supply store and get materials for that.

My main reason for blabbing away tonight is because I can't get out of my mind how badly I want my next new toy!!! I really want a Gocco. It's basically like a hmmmm small silk screen kit kind of thing. I don't really know but it orginates from Japan and I just think its an awesome way to make art and prints. I got to check out my funds and maybe crack open the piggy bank and I really mean break it open!! That's some hard earned cash that could get used on this thing. It would be well worth every cent!

IF: Impossible

Eeee....It really has been awhile since my last post. Well it could be a lot longer actually. I have been mentally occupied with getting ready for my trip to Japan which starts this Thursday. I'm pretty excited but I do wish the part of my brain that sits and worries about everything would shut off so I could be more excited about going somewhere awesome then bugging out about stupid things. Besides it's really not that long of a trip for a place like that.
Anyway, I really wanted to squeeze this in before I go. I hope it translates as a hippo being carried off by a balloon. It's kind of quick illustration and this is all I could come up with. I can't even tell myself if that big blue critter is a hippo....nonetheless, so there you have it. impossible right? hehe
enjoy those of you who catch this one and thank you for taking the time out to look it really does mean a lot to me.
