“The hours between 12am and 6am have a funny habit of making you feel like you’re either on top of the world…or under it.” Quote by Beau Taplin. Sketch from my sketchbook, with digital filters and extra bonus digital pasties…
Sorry that I’ve been MIA… The last few months have brought a lot of changes, so I’ve been extra busy and trying to adjust. I recently got hired to be part of an art team in addition to all the other things going on! I’ll save that story for another post…
For the last three weeks, I’ve been dealing with the flu and pneumonia, so I haven’t been doing any work. Watched plenty of Dr. Who though… š Just picked up my sketchbook again the other day… Here’s one of the sketches I managed. It’s colored pencil, marker, and gel pens. Hope you like it! Looking forward to painting next week!!!
A Halloween candy inspired drawing! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Colored pencils, watercolor, ear…

A friend, who was making aĀ tinyĀ batch of wine, asked if I could createĀ a label for his bottles. As someone who appreciatesĀ wine, I couldn’t resist the opportunity! š While discussing design possibilities, I found out that he had a friend (who would be receiving some of the bottles), who is a huge Harry Potter fan… which was perfect, because so am I! He calls his wine Pour Life Choices. Hmmmm… Slytherins are all about poor life choices, so Harry Potter seemed to be the perfect theme. Ā I only wish I could have worked Severus Snape into the picture… **swoon**Ā ā¤
This was a pencil drawing that I colored and manipulated in Photoshop. I was happyĀ for theĀ opportunity to do more digital work. Ā I’m enjoying learning how to make Photoshop work for me…
(p.s. Just to be clear, this was not a commercial endeavor… Sadly, these are not for sale. It was just a personal project. š )
Detail from a sketch that I started yesterday. I’m still playing with it. This version is pencil combined with digital filters.
Just a little sketch from my sketchbook. This one was Herakut-inspired. They are an awesome German street art duo. I love looking at their work.
There is a song that I have been drawing animations for, in my head, for months! Ā I want to tackle animating it soon, but I need more practice first. Above is my second attempt at hand drawn animation using a stop motion animation app on my phone. I only had time to complete the first verse of the song so far, but I like how it turned out, considering I’m just learning – and there is a lot to learn! I think I’ll keep working on it.
The song is The Kite Song, by Rosie Thomas. It’s really lovely! I highly recommend purchasing it! š
Oh, tie me to the end of a kite
So I can go on, I can go on with my life
And every marigold IĀ pass below will be my guiding light
I just want to go away from here
Oh, tie me to the end of a kite
So I can go and I can go on with my life
And every time the wind blows stronger I will feel my spirit rise
I just want to go away from here
Oh, tie me ever tightly by your side
So I may go with you wherever you reside
And anytime the road looks dimmer I will be your guiding light
I just want to go away with you
I just want to go away with you
I’ve been dying to share this work in progress! I’m having a lot of fun playing with it and watching it evolve. I still have work to do on every aspect of it, the faces, bodies, background… But I’m enjoyingĀ taking my time with it.
It is a portrait of me and my best friend, who is also an artist. It’s based off of an Alice in Wonderland doodle from my sketchbook that kept growing more and more into a work of its own…

A collaborative sketch with Scottish artist, Sean Fleming
Life without art, life without love …is nothing. Ā Another collaborative sketch between me and Scottish artist Sean Fleming, done while I was traveling. This one I’m now adding color to and will post another pic when it’s done. Ā I love the push and pull of working together on a piece. Looking forward to doing more.
