Outfit of the day post!

Hung out in Silverlake today, had lunch at one of my fave spots "Forage!"

I've been having a lot of fun doing the text for these pieces too. Illustrative text is one of my favorite things nowadays! One of my biggest regrets is not playing as much in my classes and learning how to do things other than illustration...

March 22nd

I got this idea to start doing doodles of my outfits from a few diffrent people, I saw Nancy Z's blog, which is awesome, but I sadly don't have the time or energy to photograph myself, but everyone should check out her work!

I also saw recently this awesome chick Tiffany Ford's been doing it too! It's so fun to see into people's normal lives outside their art!

Outfit today:

Feeling a little lazy, which for me means Jeans and a tee

Accessories: COFFEE

I've been feeling a weird desire for coffee lately. Thank goodness for good coffee at work ;)

Some Disney Commissions

For Christine, she wanted her kids playing with Rapunzel and Jack Sparrow! I had a good time doing these...I started using watercolor to line the pieces instead of the colored pencil. I think I'm starting to get a technique that works well!

Sketches of Ladies

Some very loose thumbnails I did for a commission....They were quick, but I enjoyed doing them!

The first is an opera singer, the second a geisha, and the last a christmas themed gal!

Fat Unicorns~

I did a few more fabric designs! These are fun for me because I like to do things that amuse myself.

I have pre-orders for these fabrics on my fabric shop!

Snow Girl

Watercolor on paper, This little lady was a commission I was asked to do! I always love painting blondes with watercolors~

Pamplemousse Fabrics for Crafts!

So I'm a pretty crafty person and recently I heard about this awesome website called Spoonflower where you can print all of your own fabric! I thought it could be fun to print some fabric and sell it as limited editions for quilits...or pencil cases or anything else people can come up with!

I just love craft supplies!

I have a seperate shop for this apart from my shop for pints

The newest designs will be added to the shop on Friday at 3pm PST! Look for it!

fabric shop!

A little commission I did recently~ I was very inspired by the watercolors in Miyazaki's books and wanted to get that loose, vibrant feeling I get from them in this piece. This girl made me think of a wild and tough princess like Princess Monoke.

I had some trouble with the water, but I learned I need to practice things like that :P

My Fiance posted on his blog for the first time in a year and a half. I've seen all of this stuff, but it's new to the world! I thought I would share for those of you who maybe have not seen it

Watercolors

More original art! I did these as commissions, the character is not mine, but belongs to the commissioner.

The peice I did for the Girls Drawing Girls gallery show, I actually did not find the time to frame or send to the gallery :( I was very dissapointed to not be able to participate in the show, but I'm now selling the piece in my Etsy,

Santa Santa

Last life drawing workshop of the year with Bob! I pulled out some acrylics for the occasion. Most of these were done in 10 minutes, I only did every other pose.

This second painting I just did to try and use up the paint left on the palette.

Artwork from Tangled!

Some actual production art to show what I have been working on these past two years! This project was just so awesome and fun, I'm a little sad that it's over, but I'm glad it's a hit!

Micro Gallery +Kevin Nelson

5x3 Mixed Media on Panel

One of my little pieces for our SUPER BIG MICRO GALLERY SHOW at Gallery Nucleus next week! It's going to be artists from Disney and Dreamworks and Pixar all doing small pieces (under 6x6) It should be a great opportunity to see some great work and maybe pick up some Christmas Gifts!

This is only one of my pieces the other one will be a secret shown only at the show! But that's only because I forgot to photograph it before I sent it off :P

Also! My Mentor and 15 year Disney Vet Kevin Nelson finally started a blog! Go on over and check out his awesome work!

Hey everyone! Tangled is in theaters today! I'm very excited and I think I will be taking some of my friends from high school to go and see it tonight! I hope that you all manage to get out there this weekend to see it!

CTN-X!

A couple of Christmas elves! I know it's a little early, but this was a little test for a christmas card this year.

Also, CTN-X starts today! Pecknpaw will have a booth there, and will be selling the book for those of you who have not yet gotten your copy! We will be at booth E11.

I will be there for the mixer tonight, and will be working the Pecknpaw booth on Sunday! Stop by and say Hello.

I will be taking some comissions while I am there. I will have a list of 5 small postcard sized pieces, watercolor for 50 dollars, and I will also be doing 3 larger letter sized watercolors for 100. CTN seems like it will be great this year, I hope to see you there!
