Ladybug Fae Cat –WIP- Step 2

Well here we have the inked version of the Ladybug FaeCat. Since I chose a square shape for the final version,I did have to make a few changes to the composition. Next step is the watercolor paint. Hopefully I will have it completed by Monday. But it is Halloween weekend and there is [...]

Well this is a sketch I worked on today. Next i need to transfer the design to some watercolor paper then ink and paint. So much to do. And with tomorrow being Halloween we still need to carve a pumpkin or two and talk K into letting me put her hair up for trick [...]

Mail Art to Essex

I just used my Christmas Dragon stamp from QKD for the first time. I used London Fog ink and colored it with Copic markers. Really I didn’t choose the color London Fog just because it was going to Essex in the UK. Wondering what is inside this fun little package? Why the Queen Bee [...]

K’s Halloween Bento

Halloween Bento

My other creative endeavor is making my daughter fun lunches. I though I would share her special Halloween Lunch with you all. First is the Green Hairy Monster.

From the sketchbook –First Day Dragon

Here is another sketch from the sketchbook. I did this one in late August for K’s first day of school. I am really thinking it would make a cute watercolor. I just need to find some time to sit down and paint. Drawing is easy,cause the pencils and technical pens can go anywhere,[...]

From the Sketchbook –Dragon and Teddy

While organizing my studio this evening,I came across a sketchbook with several really nice drawings that I never made into completed works of art. Here is one that I particularly liked. I think I will change the shape of the face to match how I have been drawing my dragons more recently. But otherwise [...]
