Christmas Art Countdown Day 4

One thing I miss about living in Florida is the Winter activities. When I lived up North, I was trying to get out more to do things outside. One thing about Long Island is that they would get snow there and it would last a while. One Sunday, John and I put our hiking bootsContinue reading “Christmas Art Countdown Day 4”

Christmas Art Countdown Day 3

Here is day 3. I tried doing a few things differently with this guy. I really like how he came out. All of these Christmas Countdown pieces all start with a pen and ink sketch and then I scan them in to my digital program to add color. I have been having fun with these.

Some playful images coming up this month for you to enjoy while you prepare for Christmas (or other holidays) during the month of December… For Day 1, we have a chubby penguin.

AEDM Day 16 – Watch dog FAIL

Last night, I opened a window a bit to let in fresh air. John, Chloe and Mack were in a coma. Chloe’s snores are pretty loud…Mack is still have sinus trouble poor thing…. Around midnight…. That sketch pretty much sums it up. The howls were very disconcerting. There is something primal about how we reacted.Continue reading “AEDM Day 16 – Watch dog FAIL”

AEDM Days 14/15

I zonked out early yesterday and I forgot to post. I was working on some sketches yesterday that I don’t want to share yet, but I thought of a new themed sketchbook that I will probably start after I finish my Christmas cards. Another task that I tackled yesterday, in my bullet journal, was myContinue reading “AEDM Days 14/15”

I upgraded my First Thanksgiving design to add “menus” and then submitted it for posting to They Draw and Cook. I haven’t posted there in a long time and I originally intended to do a map but it segued into a Feast. I am still wanting to do the map. Researching foods for the firstContinue reading “AEDM Day 13- First Thanksgiving 2.0”
