The Wildthings and Max

I seem to recall sharing some of these before? So sorry for any duplicates. I did these back in 2009 apparently (has it really been that long?!) and just updated one or two. Then realized how much I love Max and the wildthings and thought I'd share them here again.



And if you missed my earlier post, be sure to check out my facebook fan page. It's a little easier to update then blogger on my dial up so you may see some posts there you won't here and vice versa. You can find the page here. Thanks to those who've faved it so far.

Join me on Facebook!

I just set up my facebook fan page for anyone who cares to join. ;) I think I'll try to do a giveaway if I get maybe 100 followers/likes, and then again at 500, 1,000, etc. That's the plan anway. Not sure what would be given away. I guess we'll have to get to 100 followers to find out, won't we. ;)

Studio

I'm in the process of getting my studio put together. It's a long way from being anywhere near a studio, but thought I would share what I have so far. I'll try to upload progress pictures as I go along, but here it is so far if you care to see it. Beware the stark white walls. Hopefully they'll have some color soon. Just can't decide what to put on them. :/

Bunnies, bunnies, bunnies, and even more bunnies.

I painted these bunnies on a large foam core board for a sign. It's too large to scan so I took a photo and played around with it in photoshop. The "original" piece is only slightly enhanced in photoshop as the photo was a little dark. But the other versions are enhanced with photoshop's filters. I really liked how they came out and thought I would share them here.

Some more cards

A couple more cards I made for some friends. The caterpillar one was blank on the inside while the other had a cheeky little monkey. ;D

A meek post

Sorry I've been quiet lately. Meant to do an Easter post of something but we ended up getting slammed by several severe storms in a row (tornado warnings, terrible thunder, etc.) that I just haven't had time. :/ I've also been busy working on my next book featuring Jack and Machu once again. ;) It's coming along swell so far and I'm really excited with the way it's looking.

On another note, I've discovered Heartsy.me. A place to get 50 and 60% off vouchers for specific Etsy shops. If you're familiar with Groupon, it's sort of like that, only for Etsy. Each day a new vendor is listed that you can get a voucher for. Some of the deals are really awesome. Moments ago I just got a $30 spending voucher and only paid $12. It was for the lovely shop, JustJaynes. I'll have to upload photos of what I ordered when they arrive and show off her wonderful work.

Until then, feel free to use this invitation link for their site. :D (You should get a $5 credit with this link.)

Some trinkets and treasures

Just some little trinkets and treasures I made over the weekend. The treasure boxes were originally light brown, unpainted and came in a set of three. I couldn't find the third one at the time but went ahead and painted the other two in shades of blue, pink, and pastel orange. They came out really well. The copper necklace details on the larger box were made sometime ago and I never finished it into a whole necklace so it fit perfect here.

The trinkets are pretty various. Mostly scrabble pieces, discounted Christmas items and odds and ends I've been hoarding for awhile. Glad I finally got to make good use of them. The photos came out a bit brighter then I thought. The colors are slightly more neon then they really are.

The Devil's Party

Pen and ink drawing on paper, colored with photoshop. I also used part of this as my newest header. I also included a little Studio Ghibli love by adding Totoro. I've not yet seen My Neighbor Totoro but I've fallen in love with Spirited Away and Kiki's Delivery Service. Am planning to try to find the other studio Ghibli movies as soon as I get a chance. I know they're cartoons but the food in them always makes my mouth water. LoL!

Another Birthday

Here's a card I did last night for a friend's birthday today. Drawn in ink, colored with water colors and colored pencils.

Progressive piece

Wanted to share a piece through it's progression. The line work, the colored foreground and the completed piece with background. Pen and ink drawing colored via photoshop.

Produce Abuse

A little silly something I created. ;D I don't think produce abuse is a big issue (or an issue at all) but it was fun creating a teeny poster for it. ;D Pen and ink drawing enhanced with photoshop.

The Pirate Kitten - Free Coloring Page!

Freebie coloring page! It's not quite Jack the Kitten but it's a pirate kitten none the less. ;D Hope you enjoy!

Mini marshmallows!

I'm not exactly a huge fan of marshmallows (marshmallow creme, yes, marshmallows, not so much), but how can anyone resist mini marshmallows? They're always so adorable and tiny. <3

Yummers!

More cheesy moons! X3

Rain drops keep falling...

Poor Bunny. I

'm not chinese, but I've been told it's the year of the rabbit. And since I love rabbits, I obviously am using this as an excuse to draw as many bunnies as possible. XD So hope you've enjoyed all the bunnies so far! And spring should be coming in full force soon! Yay! <3
