Day 12? Yup. Day 11 is complete but I was too exhausted to post yesterday. John and I ran out to do a few errands and I had a mishap where I gave my rib cage a good accidental whack because of my flip flops, which pretty much fouled the rest of my day. IContinue reading “Friendly Face Day 12”

Imaginary Dogs
These creatures came from sketches done in my morning pages. They started out as a random shape, that I move around until I find something I can work with in that shape, and then pull a creature out of it. Chili is a dapper little dog. He’s an explorer of the city and knows allContinue reading “Imaginary Dogs”
Christmas Art Countdown Day 14
The prompt is “sing” and every time I see the word “sing,” I think of the New Year’s Eve performance of My Chemical Romance. Maybe we all need to sing, for the WHOLE WORLD. Sing it from the heart, sing for the planet, sing for all species, sing for the whales and the manatees, singContinue reading “Christmas Art Countdown Day 14”

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”
Art in Progress AEDM Day 8
Taking a break from holiday stuff…. Here is an example of how I start my pet portraits…I do a sketch to lay out how I want the pet to look. Then I sort of play around where he would look best on the page. I usually photo copy the sketch so can play around withContinue reading “Art in Progress AEDM Day 8”
AEDM Days 6 & 7/Commissions
For the past few days I have been working on holiday stuff. I forgot to post yesterday but creating can be intense work. I was thinking on making some cards this year instead of printing them even though I have had my design done since the beginning of the year. We’ll see. I may cutContinue reading “AEDM Days 6 & 7/Commissions”
Last but not least….
Here are the last three doggies of the book. It was a wonderful project and I truly enjoyed it so much that I am looking for another tiny project. Though I am looking to get or make books where the pages don’t chop my image in half. The PAGE size was 2.33 x 1.66 andContinue reading “Last but not least….”
