Sea Monsters in Colour

I managed to get these art cards done on time for the show at the Ayden Gallery for last Friday, but unfortunately they didn't sell. That being said they will be going up on the Cloudscape Etsy store to fundraise for the next book Waterlogged. It's siting a little over half way we just need to raise $ 2784 before the end of the month. I cant tell you how amazing this book will be or the perks you can get from it. With the cover art done by Laura Bifano we are selling a poster of it. I really want one and I think you would too. Being 8x10 full colour it would adore any room beautifully. 

Back to my art cards, I have to say I'm pretty damn proud that they turned out. I used water colour on my Manitis Shrimp, I have not painted in water colour in ages. My fish was done all in makers and the Eel-mermaid/ angler fish girl was a mix. The two bigger ones are 4x6 and the smaller one I think is 3x2? I have to go measure them again. Maybe next week I will post up some new sketches, lately I just haven't had the time to finish any of them.

Earring, Necklaces, Steampunk Galore...

Well last month had kept me up on my toes! I had an art show on May 3rd, that by the way is still on display till June 2nd @ the Ayden Gallery. I also had a table at the Time Travel Bazaar I wish I put these up before hand but I lost track of time and well better late then never! I will be selling these though my Etsy Store when I find some time to organize and post them up so check it out and if they aren't up and you want them message me and I'll post them up right then and there!I love Steampunk, the gears the fabric, nearly everything about it makes me all giddy inside. These pieces that I made are more simple for that style, more Victorian but still work wonders with it. I will definitely be doing a lot more with this... so many ideas so little time.

If you haven't notice I love to make and draw things, I really wish I could just stick to one but I just get the itch to dabble in new things. But new origami earrings are made and more is being worked on. I'll leave those for next time! I'm thinking of starting a blog on wine and food, I'm not much of a drinker but some times I get adventurous and buy a new bottle of wine and if I don't drink it I cook with it! I think I will wait a little before I start up that project and get this one more consistent first!

Stratus Art Show Tomorrow!

I'm super excited about tomorrow's event! My art work along with many of my friends will have their work displayed at the Ayden Gallery in Vancouver!

I hope someone loves them as much as I do and wants to take them home!

Art, What?

One of the hardest things is having a white page before you and feeling that your head is just as blank. I feel that most of the time lately. It helped to just try to draw what is round me, for example I went in to a cheese cake coffee shop in Vancouver, with a hot cup of tea I whipped out my book and staired at the white page... let me tell you the tea was delishous! my creativeness non, in the end I just sketched the coffee shop changing things before I really got into it. But the main thing was that I put pencil to paper and filled up the page. 

I have to draw two sea monsters for the gallery show coming up in May and this one is an idea but I really cant say I'm completely happy with it. Got'a get moving fast to get it done on time, I'll try to post them up just before the show!

Go look at it, it's shiny, hard cover and so easy to fall in love with I really can't wait to get one into my hands. I am almost geared up start another short comic but I really want to think of a good story that I will love till the very end.
