happy new year

Probably the last one for the year. Reading more = more art. so that's what I'll be doing in 2013

The Danbird

So there is this guy I like at work, but I really don't think anything will ever happen. He did provide some awesome character material though. I'm sure it will be a really awkward moment if I ever blurt out "you're a rooster" but oh well, I haven't died of shame yet.

The character though is less like a rooster and more like a cross between a plague doctor and a vulture. 

I say the vulture because when I was painting this (acrylic on watercolor paper) the "skin" came out all red, but I imagine it being like having been burned accept soft. Contradictions abound! I don't know how I feel about the little head doodles he has going on. I much prefer the "spike" style I drew in another picture. [I imagine him setting little fires all over the place and then being contented or gleeful as they slowly encompass everything]

that chain thing, always always draw it on the wrong side without even thinking. Maybe...now I'm not so sure.

So raging hormones aside, that's what I've been up to. Everyone needs to go home and stop looking hot or cute or whatever else it is I'm attracted to. I have things I need to be doing and moping about boys is not one of them! I want to see where I can get with the dragon in the top picture. I like that it has a head similar to a pterosaur. 

Like a Rooster

I was playing paints

bluebird thankyou.

uh why whenever I color like this does it take all freaking day?

I really don't like coloring it takes so LONG. I feel exhausted. Maybe it just needs practice.

more from work

blah

this only took ALL DAY!

geez

tired...

did this on half the back of the schedule from work, at work.

oh that number is the SKU to a trash can that costs 68 dollars. sad that I still remember that.

graduation

all the cool chicks and dudes are graduating!

or at least thats what I want this to say when its done...which is currently isn't. I might drag it into illustrator and do it, just so I can have more "advanced" illustrator work. But I want this to be the cover for the invitation for the party we have every few years when people graduate. Graduation at our house is an excuse to have a big family reunion type party.

two birds with one stone

used this for national poetry month as well.

my teacher is a rooster, and we all wish we could throw rocks at him and make him go away.

things keep happening

I drew this...not today. I feel like cheating to say that, but I've been so busy lately that I don't even get to sketch every day. I usually get to fill out a damn worksheet, but... not sketch.

anyhow. I want to work on this as a solid form with things and stuff, and making a block print thing out of it. Then making atcs and stuff. I don't know how well this will work, and the going is super slow cause I am lazy AND I have all these things to do.

Bluebird!

Made full of sunny its Bluebird! the pirate...oh wait that's bluebeard. whatever :D



three days in a row! whooo!

Made for my friend who also makes artness!
