Mermaids and other stuff I've been working on.

I made some Illustrator mermaids! Last time, I caught up on posting all my food drawings, so I've got some digital stuffs to upload, including two which will wait until after the holidays, since they are being sent as gifts.

I am the WORST.

I found Tumblr. I have been having a torrid blog affair with Tumblr. I posted several art things over there while reblogging the dumbest things on the internet :/

So I should remember that this blog is a more serious place for me to post about my art. I should actually update sometimes. Be back tonight with a bunch of posts with recent art.

More MiniScapes

A couple more MiniScapes while I try to figure out how to get Photoshop onto this here machine.
Top one from my Aunt K's house. Bottom two are from Long's Park in Lancaster, PA. Visited there about a month ago-ish for Sharon's Senior Show and we got to go do some drawing. I've started on a new project in watercolor, so hopefully that goes well. Scanned in the first one. These are gonna be tiny. At least to start. Also did another of my Eatables pieces. I think this one is really great. Artichokes. Posting that tomorrow I hope. At least this week.

In other news, I think I just sold a bunch of Barbie dolls. Stay tuned for more about this exciting transaction.

Omg. An update.

So. First: the art. These are the pieces I meant to upload forever ago. The one up there is the last in my Eatables series of that time. I may bick the idea back up, but not right now.

The ones below are a set of Mini Landscapes I had done last summer. I have some from this summer to post tomorrow or tonight. It depends on when I get them scanned in. But yeah. I've been using these mostly as a way to practice working in marker. Except the one at dusk. Graphite seemed the best way to go there.

Other news: I have a laptop! My parents helped be use my savings and purchase a Sony Vaio. It is sexy. And powerful. And I love it. We also upgraded our internet, which makes it easier for me to do all my online business. Like updating things and selling on Etsy.

Oh yeah. I have two Etsy stores. One is for selling craft supplies and vintage dolls and whatnot.

The other one is for my art! I'll be adding prints to it soon, but right now my originals are listed. The Eatables series and the Food I Ate series.

You should go to both of those and look around. Maybe buy something. If you send me a convo saying you came from my blog I'll send you a coupon code. INCENTIVES! Also shameless self-promotion. But yeah. Gonna scan more stuff in and then post again. Omg.

From our vacation to Maine. Looking out from the balcony at dusk. Mountains in Maine.

Way to go, Me.

Yeah. It's May. And February was the last time I posted. To be fair, I have been busy and not having my desktop acknowledging the internet make me not do as many things for myself. Like keep up on my blog or scan pictures I've been meaning to scan. I also have more drawings to post. I'll get there eventually. Only 2 days of work this week, which kind of sucks, but then again we've gotten a ton of stuff done around the house. I'm hoping to get something posted before work tomorrow, since I don't go in until 3. Also I need to link this to facebook so people know I have a blog and might read it.

Radishes are tasty.

Aww yeah, more arts. I haven't actually eaten these yet. I need some more ranch dressing. But I do enjoy radishes. I'm working on some fan-arty stuff at the moment. Got my plates ready to start printing, but got distracted my making some sales on my Etsy page and getting more stuff uploaded there and packing up some other stuff and doing my Wii Fit and working on Etsy led to browsing Etsy and yeah. Gonna try to collage tonight for reals. I have stuff cut. I just need to glue it. OMG Why am procrastinating so much? I have half my portfolio for Chautauqua together. I just need to do prints. And to do that I need to buy ink. And I need money for that. Which is why I'm refocusing my efforts on Etsy. Oh man my W2 for CVS can't get here quick enough. I needs to file my taxes.

OH MAN IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN A WEEK.

I am getting so good at this! But yeah. Here's another Eatable and a print design. It's a Sharon with a Piplup head. I've got a few more and as soon as I get my sharpening stone, I can make a block and start carving Sharon. That sounds weird now that I think about it. I am super excited! But I can't do more watercolor until I get my paper I ordered and I can't scan them until I replace a couple Prisma Markers. I need more French Grey 10%. That's my shadow color and I drained it on these last few guys. So tomorrow's payday and I can order them. Awesome.
