2nd Visit to Stone Zoo

We went to the Stone zoo last Friday. Lucien was entertained by the animals and my Dad and GG so, I could draw! The Gibbons were a huge hit to all. Sadly it started raining and I was wasn’t able to draw the Aye-Ayes or Snow Leopard. Next time!

Rebecca’s Choice

This past weekend my Dad and Rebecca visited us. I wasn’t working on much since we were spending time together. Although, we did take a trip to the zoo and I sketched the animals because they watched Lucien, we watch General Hospital so I sketched during the show, and then they requested a painting. So,Continue reading “Rebecca’s Choice”

Fish with Personality

One more round of my Ripples is coming to Ripple. Here are my sketches that led up to the finals. Speaking of fish with personality, I showed Lucien Finding Nemo yesterday. He was upset about numerous scenes, when Nemo is taken, when the sharks try to eat Marlin and Dory, and when Marla tries toContinue reading “Fish with Personality”

Tinkerbell

I just finished listening to InkHeart by Cornelia Funke. It was an epic story with a great love of books. Faeries are described including Tinkerbell, who is very different from the blue dirt loving faeries of the Inkheart world. Tink stands and gawks at her reflection whenever she can.

Getting back to my roots, my childhood roots. For my first 8 years I grew up in KY, so, like a proper youngContinue reading “Stampeed Earl!”

Office Titans

A moment of learning rather than a great piece of art or something that anyone wants to look at. But, I made a deal with myself that I would post two times a week covering myContinue reading “Office Titans”

a Trade

At the beginning of the year a friend of mine, Miguel A. Cardona Jr. posted some characterized profile pictures on facebook. They turned out to be a project of his, check them out. He has a tutorial on the process, too. Anyway, I loved them! So, we set up a trade, I would draw somethingContinue reading “a Trade”

Today’s give away are two more trading cards. I picked players that have stood out in my opinion or are in a run for the Golden Boot. note: The white patch on Piqué is for his always having an injury on his face. To win, comment on this post about which World Cup team youContinue reading “Germany vs Spain”
