Scary Movie

I think I should've just stopped at the first sketch . . .

Prince Preview

Since I'm at work and can only really work on my computer, I end up messing around with Illustrator. This is a preview of a project to come.

Snacktime for Bear

Cartoony stuff isn't really my style, but I'm taking a cartooning class this quarter, so I'm trying it out anyways. There's something kind of fun about doing children's market styling with a dark twist.

Horse and Chicken

It's really feeling like fall outside now, so I thought I'd do a quick little sketch using some fall colors. This time I worked warm to cool, when usually I do the reverse.

Vet Office

I'm still going to make a lot of changes, but I had a lot of fun working on this.

Yellow Lab Comission

Awhile ago, I did a series of a bunch of paintings for Tufts Vet School. They've been hanging in their cafeteria for about a year, and occasionally I'll get emails asking for animal portraits from people who visited. A woman emailed me, interested in hiring me to do a painting of a yellow lab for her daughter's birthday. She told me her favorite colors were pink and purple, and it was super last minute, so I did the best I could with the time I was given. (That's my lovely boyfriend in the background holding it).

Vet Office in Progress

Can you tell which part I had reference for so far?

Summer

This summer, I've been working on non-art related things, so I haven't gotten the chance to draw or paint.
I was going through painting withdrawal, so lately I've been working on this big landscape painting to get it all out of my system.

Bantha Swamp Logo

I made a little logo for my friends' place, which they call Bantha Swamp (after the Star Wars creature).

Blog Header

Just wanted to let you know I changed my banner. . .

Swamp Bears

A quick little painting I did from a hike.

Foxhunt Finished

The rabbit's kind of hard to see, but I wanted him to be hidden. From the foxes anyway. Tricky.

Hikes

I've been going on a lot of hikes lately. Since I love doing nature-based illustrations, I have tons of new source material and stories. Hopefully there will be a nice series out of these walks. More to come soon!

Be Brave

Which one?
