Monsters are so FUN!!!

There is something about hanging out with my twin sister that gets my creative juices flowing. I think that having her area of expertise be in another field(interior design) is extremely helpful. We both know the basic principles of design and art, but are different enough that a lot of the competition of our childhood is gone. This was created, after a day of my twin, Sam, helped me design several quilts and make them (aka she designed and I took notes). So... Thanks SAM!

ps. I like monsters.

Stop!

This little fellow is a character idea I have for a short story done in graphic novel style. I'm still figuring out the details, but I thought it'd be fun to share a preview.

Stupid Birds

I live in a very old building (145 yrs) and birds live in ours as well as the ones surrounding it. I hate them with a passion. They leave droppings all over my stairs and porch as well as our cars! Now they've taken to eating my basil, thyme and parsley. They've even attacked my pansies! My big, manly husband has shot a few of them with his pellet gun, which works a little, but not enough to really get rid of them. We have other plans in the works however and the herbs have been moved inside. We'll see if they'll live....

I'M BACK, BABY!!!!!!!!

Its been "interesting" living without a computer. Mine died, but my darling husband gave me his Mac book Pro to use because his work had one for him to use and a giant monitor at the office. Well. He was laid off, so he had to give the work laptop back, which meant I was without a working computer. Luckily, Mike (my darling) found work less than a week later. Bad news: no loaner computer= no computer for me. I was rescued by my father in law. He upgraded to a new i-pad, so i got the first generation for my birthday. I could watch netflix, check my e-mail and use the web, but no blogging or photoshop. So, I wrestled Mike's laptop away from time to time, but since it was our income I tried not to do it too often.

Then!!!!




My angel of a husband sold his Honda Goldwing and bought me a 27 inch Mac. It's absolutely beautiful. I have so many things to work on and scan in, I almost don't know where to start! But watch out! This girl is going to be blogging her little heart out. I have so much to show you guys!

Hiatus

Okay people. I am without a computer... mostly. I can jump on my husband when he's not working(not often since its our livelihood), but otherwise I'm kinda handicapped. Good news is I'm painting traditionally and drawing lots. Yay!~ Downside is that you won't be seeing it very often until I get a computer of my own. Sad for you! I'll do my best to sneak time on Mike's and post as often as I can, but no promises. Farewell my fellow bloggers. Farewell.

Ps. This doesn't mean I won't stop stalking your blogs though. Muahahahahahaaa!!!!

New Poster


Another Relief Society Poster. I used to resent the assignment, but now I look forward to the deadline it creates. I whipped this one up in about 30 min. I started with a Mushroom Cloud, but Mike said it was toeing the line. So this is a bit more tame, but significant due to current events.

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.
