Mike!!


Isn't Mike handsome? I love my husband!!

Garden Hats


For Relief Society Activity, I decorated our garden hats with fake flowers and ribbons. It was a lot of fun. None of the others did that, so I felt a little out of place, but my mom said she loved hers and was more excited to wear her hat out in the garden now! Love you Mom!

Ogre


This is my ogre who will sit under a bridge, not to take tolls mind you, but to take a bath. The town down stream always hates it when he does because it makes the water sooooo smelly. But all the ogre grim nourishes the crops, so they can't complain toooo much.

Grumpy Creature


This little guy is kinda grumpy and when he tries to smile he looks even grumpier. I hope to use him in some sort of story. I haven't decided yet what his name is, but thats okay. Sometimes it takes some time to figure out.

Self Portrait


I've been a little baby hungry sometimes. So I hang out with my girlfriend and her little boy. I get to burp him, and when he cries I get to hand him back. Babies are just so darn cute!

Lil' Joe


My painted version! What a happy little kid!

Butterfly

More of my character!! I love this little guy.

Cardboard Fun

I've always had the most fun as a kid when we played with the boxes the toys came in. We (my sisters) had a blast with our cardboard castles. So I thought it would be fun to depict a kid using his cardboard box as a rocket ship. I originally had my boy as human not my cuddily creature, but I just couldn't get it right. I need to shoot some reference first. Keep a look out, I have a new version soon!!!

Monster Defeat


This is a small version of the finished work. I had a blast designing the monsters. I wish I had been able to show some more of the monster's bodies. I just love designing characters. The little kid is so cool! He scares off all those monsters with his super-duper flashlight!

ARt Blog!!!

This is my first Blog all by myself. This is for my artwork and other artist I like. I enjoy painting, drawing, inking, carving, sewing, embroidery, beading, printmaking, and crocheting. I can't help but create. And most of all I love to tell a story.

About Me

My photo
I am an illustrator, bookbinder, painter, doodler, list-maker, and wife. I love food. I am what can be categorized as a dabbler. I love trying new things, but I always come back around to art and illustration. I just can't help it.
