IF: Prepare (Toothfairy)

It's never a good sign when you forget you're password to your own blog. I think that means I need to post more frequently. A lot of things have changed since my last post. I got a second job teaching art classes at an art center, and we found out that Jackie is pregnant . . . . with twins! Pretty crazy but we are excited. So all of that along with the holidays really hindered any new work. Well I'm back in the swing of things and will be posting artwork more regularly.

Enough talk here's my latest attempt to add to the old portfolio. It's my first attempt at an "all digital" painting, I still have to work out some kinks before I feel totally comfortable. I'd love some feed back.

IF: Hibernate

"I know it's time to hibernate, but I still think 80% is too high"

Some of my friends may have already seen this painting, but it fit with the topic so good I had to use it. Let me know what you think.

IF: Shadows

"When you’re a dragon your campfire stories might be too scary"
This is one I've been working on for a book I wrote called The Trouble With Being a Dragon. Let me know what you guys think.

IF: Soaked

This is from a story that I wrote called "BAAAAH!"
Let me know what you guys think.

IF: Safari

Suburban Safari

More shirt designs

The ladies at Upsy Daisy Creations asked me to do 4 more shirt designs. Once again they were awesome to work with.

Fun project for some new clients

These are a few images that I just finished for a new client. They are a small clothing company out of California called Upsy Daisy Creations . They were great to work with. They just told me they wanted an image of a princess, a knight, and a dragon and then they gave me free reign to come up with what ever I wanted.

Flight

I'm not normally a winter-hater , but lately I've really been craving some warm weather. Since that's not likely to happen any time soon, I decided to paint something warmer. (plus it was a chance to paint my girls)

Kids, Kids, Kids

I realized as I was looking over my portfolio that I could use some more artwork involving kids. In an effort to fix this mistake I'm adding some paintings I've been working on. I've still got some more pictures to add, but they may have to wait a little while so I can finish up some of my other projects.

IF: Beneath

I had hoped to get this loaded sooner. my thought was to represent the varying people "beneath" the culture. Let me know what you think.
Chinese Dragon

IF: Spooky

Yeah I know it's not terribly "spooky", except maybe that tree in the background. At any rate this image will also serve as my Halloween mailer so. . . HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I do love Halloween. Hopefully everyone is getting their costumes ready, and not just going as "an un-costumed person". Be safe!


Masks not Included

IF: Star gazing

Star gazing and roasting marshmallows. I'd love any feedback.

IF: Acrobat

Death defying acrobatics!
Let me know what you think.



"Circus Peanuts"

IF: Expired

I did this one a while ago but I felt like it fit the theme enough to re-post it for illustration friday. Let me know what you think.

Introductions

Yet again this is a drawing for the Brotique blog. the topic was introductions. I got to use my new brush pen on this one. It is definitely my new favorite toy.
