Rescue WIP

For The Boy Without a Hat by Keru Writerly. Colored pencil

Wooossshhhh

That the sound of the year slipping by...I can't believe I haven't update since January...yeesh. so that drawing became a painting.  I'll track down what minimal other stuff I've done and add...sigh

We Love Ewe So

To be a painting for my dear cousin's new babies room.

My best project ever....

well his older sister was a pretty good project too!

You could call him a collaboration with my hubby :)

N.O.R.D.S.

So something new in the works since if I get visitors no one comments...I joined a little mismash of blogs that are having the same problemo.
So go here: http://nords.the1337.nl/ and check out my fellow misfits

More Jungley art

Or an alternative Title: Hey I never posted the finished paintings.

  You know the one for the twins. And yes I did end up using watercolor pencils...I really love those things.  I think they are going to be my new go to medium.  Let's see..the for the borders I ended up finding some cool scrapbook paper at Michaels, so much easier than painting it and they have glitter.  I like glitter.  So I think you all can tell the Eliza is based on Carters Jungle Jill line and Nigels on the No Jo Jungle babies.

Hope to have some more original (not based on anything) artwork in the near future.  My 40 week project is nearing completion about a week early,  it's a collaboration between me and my husband.

It's a jungle in here

Only two months since my last post....5 weeks to go til I get to meet my lil guy.  So still decorating the nursery.  And here's what I painted for it.

  Waiting on a wood lion to add to the "L"  they'll be attached with zebra print ribbons

Updates and art!

Flog the blogger....yikes March since my last update.  In my defense since my last update I found out I was pregnant (It's a boy!) and my pirate sheep won the contest.  Between going through my first trimester and chasing a 3 year old around that doesn't believe in naps. I was a bit on the exhausted side.  I have been working on the illustrations for Boy Without a Hat.  Though at the moment I'm not going to post too many more until I have a few finished pieces.

Now for the arts:  for a friend that is expecting twins...names are blanked out not to spoil the surprise. I'm debating between colored pencils and watercolor.  So it'll probably end up watercolor pencils :).

drawings, logos and knits

So while I haven't posted in a bit I have been busy...1st up  roughs for BWAH

Next a logo I designed for Blue Moon Fiber Arts Sock Camp logo contest...here's to hoping I win

And last but not least,  a teeny baby sweater and bunny lovey for a knitty friends baby shower.  Both patterns can be found on Lion Brands website

New year, new art

Art Frog and the Gaming Chiuaua

Mad Hattie's Hat Shop

For 'The Boy Without a Hat' by http://k-writerly.livejournal.com/

Now I think I totally have to draw Mad Hattie herself.

Where did he go?

More roughs for 'Boy Without a Hat'.  I'm definitely being pushed to be more creative with my layouts as the author enjoys in her own words "extreme angles and perspectives".  Which to tell you the truth is quite awesome it gets me out of a box I have a tendency of doing for works of my own.  I think these are going to end up...not only making one cool ass book, but great for portfolio  pieces as well.  I might become a professional someday yet!

Too Cute Jungle

You may have noticed, I have a thing for doing paintings that match nursery bedding/decor, so for most of the recent babies in my family I've tried to something for their rooms.  So for my newest niece to be (We'll be welcoming her sometime in December)  I went all out and painted with real paints even. Do you know how longs it's been since I broke out the acrylics?  The nursery theme is going to be in Emma by Lambs and Ivy with a few things from Carters Jungle Jill collection. So I kind of hodgepodged the two collections together and added a hippo. I love hippos! The pinks and greens aren't as obnoxious in real life...I just couldn't get it adjusted right in photoshop.  Yes Keri...I'll go back to work on your book now.
