Pencil drawing for "treehouse" theme.

Chicken

So I was working on this character and I thought it might work for this week's Illustration Friday as well. I love people that dress crazy,and have a unique personal style and are just plain weird. I am quite weird, but I like to keep up the charade of being normal. I'm too chicken, but I would love to dress like this every day!

App for the iPad

I've been working on art for a coloring book app that my friend wanted to develop for his three year old son. It's got a cute story following Ray, Dawn, and Cosmo from planet AquaBlue and their exploration of Earth. I love the fun background music and the paint by numbers/letters for kids learning letter/number recognition. It recently hit the iTunes App store and has gotten some great reviews!

Take a break!

So...I guess it's been over a year since I posted last. I can't believe so much time has gone by! Got a good amount of rest recently over the holidays. I took a week off with no traveling, and had two short work weeks for Christmas and New Year's. I read a bunch of books, cleaned, couch-potatoed...The break helped me quite a bit, as I've been feeling burnt out and run down. It's good to just take a break sometimes... especially if art is your full-time job.

I also had time to do some personal art. Hooray!

This was a second idea from my sketchbook that I wanted to do for Illustration Friday's "Magnify". I had fun creating her and her setting.

Magnify

2009-08-30T19:07:00.000-07:00

This sketch was for Illustration Friday. I've really been into doing pencil sketches lately. I work on the computer everyday, and I've missed the feel and sound of pencil on paper so it's a nice change.

Caution

2009-08-27T20:57:00.000-07:00

This sketckbook drawing started out as an idea for this week's Illustration Friday word "Caution". I had fun with this one :) I hope to play more with it on the computer and make a finished illustration of it someday.

"Pang Tong's plan slowly began to unfold....to make Sima Yi jealous!"

This image was a special request from someone very much into the characters of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Dynasty Warriors game. Thought this might work for this week's Illustration Friday as well :)

Craving

2009-06-10T16:39:00.000-07:00

Craving to the point of hallucination! Delicious Sushi and Dim Sum...I will get you!!! This week's Illustration Friday word is "craving". A fun word to illustrate :)

Mermaid and Octosquid

I've been missing the beach now that summer has arrived...

Cracked

2009-05-24T11:34:00.000-07:00

Meet little Cheekie. I'm not really sure what it is, but it just hatched and loves fish sticks.

This week's word was "cracked" for Illustration Friday, so I thought a strange thing coming out of an egg would entertain me. I wanted to play with some shading this time and had a lot of fun :)

Contagious

2009-05-16T18:13:00.001-07:00

Prepare to be disinfected!!!! "Contagious" was this week's fun word to do for Illustration Friday. I'm excited I managed to finish it early instead of the night before this time. Woo Hoo!

Parade

2009-05-14T21:13:00.000-07:00

This week's word for Illustration Friday was "parade". So of course it called for a parade of Octopi! Wish I could have worked longer on this, but I'm out of time!

Intricate

2009-05-09T08:01:00.000-07:00

This was an illustration I did for Illustration Friday's word of the week, "Intricate". I only had the sketch done at the time, and only recently finished it on the computer. My first blog posting, YAY!! Spiderwebs are what I thought of as being intricate, as well as a black widow's fashion style :)
