Monsters Monsters Everywhere

_Watercolor

Long time no see! So sorry for falling off the face of the earth. Real life got kinda busy, but now I'm here, posting more arts!

I was asked to submit some work to a charity gallery called Power In Numbers, curated by none other than Nucleus! They are the coolbeans mcGee, where all the cool kids hang out. The first watercolor isn't up just yet, though you can the see the second one on their site right now! Check it out here! I feel like a mouse amongst so many giants. The talent is crazy good!

Anyway, back to monsters again! Monsters being fuzzy and warm and monsters being helpful by eating tomato and bologna sandwiches.

"Mommy, where's Timmy...?"

Timmy's goin' for a ride, y'all!

A birthday gift for one of my besties! I...owe so many friends birthday gifts, it's sad. OR awesome that I have so many friends! Too many frieeennndddssssssss!

Giraffey Taffy

WOWZERS! Two posts within the same month? What sorcery is this??

Giraffe! It's chewin' and chillin'. I had a block of hot press watercolor paper lying around, untouched, because I HATE hot press paper. Cold press is my one true love, but I've seen so many artists who are amazing at using hot press that maybe it doesn't actually require black magic and baby's tears to make good art with it.

It was really tough at first, but I managed to adapt to it and have fun! It's a different, misunderstood monster from cold press. I didn't give it a chance. Anyway, had some fun with watercolor, acrylic, ink (that bled in places), and colored pencils. Next time I wanna get looser and let the colored pencils stand out a bit more. We'll see!

Red pandas go RAAAAAAA

Red panda! I need to add more animals to my portfolio and red pandas seemed like a pretty good place to start. Messin' around with simplified lines and shapes and muted colors. A part of me feels complete now that I've introduced Payne's Grey in the mix. Oh Payne's Grey where have you beeennnn all my life. Mixed with Cadmium Yellow it makes the most pleasant greens (far better than the scan implies) mmmmm~

I need to get out more, haha.

Arts farts!

my poor poor little blog. just another one of my neglected, dusty corners of the internet, haha.

recently, i've been working on making my portfolio more cohesive and pinning down 2 or 3 styles. that way i won't look like a schizo and actually fool people into believing i have direction. it's still fun to go crazy with styles on the side though. :D


ANYWHO on to the arts hello.



turn of the century France, man, that's where it's at! i'm playing around with different frame designs to finish this one off. trying to push shapes and not be so ambiguous with shadows and colors.

this was already posted on my joint themed blog, but the concept was fun enough to post twice. there has to be some kinda clever pun involving jump roping with one's intestines, but i got nuthin.
