MAY Calendar

Here is the month of May! Print out and hang up for your wall or workspace.

Save the Date

My sister is getting MARRIED!!! Yea!!! I am the maid of honor and I am doing all the graphics for the wedding. The save the dates are magnets and are about a little larger than 4 x3. They have to go out within a week and here are different versions I did. They all look sort of similar, with slight differences. One was chosen, and I have to finish tweeking it. Wanted to share some of what I have been working on. I have been really busy with all kinds of work. I seem to be working on more graphic projects than actual drawing. So for now, enjoy the graphics.

Nana is Turning 90

My Nana is turning 90 in April and we are throwing her a surprise birthday dinner. Now we are not going to scare her with a big yell of "SURPRISE", instead she thinks it is just her daughters and grandchildren are taking her out to dinner. We just want people to start showing up and she will be surprised that way. Well I made the invites! There are a few more things that I need to do, like menu cards, some pics of her when she was younger. This was taken I believe in the 1940's sometime, when she got married. Isn't she beautiful!!! I just love my Nana, super sweet.

Sketches

Getting back to drawing again. Sounds kind of crazy but it has been awhile since I picked up a pencil and drawn for fun, not just for work. I have some plans to do a comic with a friend of mine, so I need to brush up on life drawing and drawing and painting in general. So here you go.

CALENDER--MARCH

You can print this out and hang this up! Enjoy...8 days late.

Silly Rabbit

Just a super quick doodle of a bunny. Its kinda cheezy but wanted to put something up.

Gift Wrapping

Hey wanted to share with everyone on what I do when I wrap gifts. I know these are from Christmas, but you can use this for any occasion. This is how I did it:
I used an asian newspaper and craft paper. Made stamps out of potato's. Carved them out and rolled out paint and pressed them on the papers and let them dry. I had some yarn that I wasn't using and made pom pom "bows". Lastly I placed beer bottle caps and wine corks on top and hot glued them on the paper.

That's it!

I Have Moved!

I have been busy for quite awhile. I have moved to a new town only 2 and half miles away from the one I use to live. I am getting settled in now and setting up a really sweet work area. I plan on doing lots of work there so I need to make it nice and comfortable. I am decorating so I will post some pics of it when I am all set up. Until then, this is the card that I am giving to friends and family to let them know I have moved. The back has a map with a star to where I live. This is me when I was in 2nd grade! Wasn't I cute!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

OK, now I know this says Merry Christmas, but I didn't get a chance to post this on Christmas, so I am doing it now. Making the last post of the year. So with that out the way, I have many New Years Goals, and plan to actually achieve them this year. One of the three major goals is to DO MORE ART! More posts, a website and to illustrate that alphabet book that I have wanted to do for years. I think I have a solid style kinda down. Now just to move forward on it. So Happy New Year everyone and, until next year, be safe!

Christmas Card Teaser

It is that time again when Christmas cards go out. I am a huge procrastinator on making mine. For some reason, this holiday seems to just sneak up on me every year. I am not done yet but just wanted to put a teaser on. I WILL be finished tomorrow so I can print them off on Monday and send out on Tuesday morning. Stay tuned...

Oldies but Goodies

Just want to put up some old art for your enjoyment.

Another Self Portrait

Here is another illustration of myself. I am broccoli Ivy!!!
I have been working away doing more art. What better way to test out different styles, by doing pictures of yourself. Lol

Cut-Paper-Noah's Ark

I made this Labor Day weekend for my Aunt and Uncle. This was for a Bible Study class they are taking, and they needed it for demonstration when talking. So as the sweet and caring Niece I am, I did this. The picture is really crappy because I took it from my phone. I really enjoyed making this and I want to make more things out of cut paper.

Storyboard

I am taking a class in storyboarding and here is a start of what I am doing. I am no way near done and some of them I need to put the character in. There is more work to be done on this, so stay tuned.
