Happy New Year

We brought home a honker for Christmas this year. Hes blue, fuzzy, and very cute. He also loves milk duds, but doesn't call them by name instead they are just called "yums"

New Tricks 2

I'm finishing up my homework for tonight and decided to have one more post. I really like the way this turned out. Its a sketch transferred into illustrator, live traced, then live paint. then I expanded the image and ungrouped the segments. Then I took the ungrouped color segments and moved each one, stretching them diagonally to the right causing each to be a little off center and ta da this is the finished product.

Ants



I am starting a new project. I have always been interested in children's art and a few weeks ago I decided to start practicing. This is my first effort. I am fairly new at using watercolors and the ones I am currently using are not of a very good quality but they will work for now. I plan on using Watercolor Wednesday and Illustration Friday as sources for inspiration but if I can't think of anything I am going to go through the alphabet which is where I got the idea for these cute little ants.

I was a very shy kid and I would always hide behind my dad's legs whenever we were out in public. He was tall but to me he seemed even taller. I got the idea for this sketch from watercolor wednesday. Last weeks theme was to create a child or animal character. So I made a caricature of myself as a child.
