Cinderella

Excellent Prompt!

Here I am as Cinderella, as the two evil step-sisters and yup you guessed it- thats me as the evil step mom too!!! I had a lot of fun with this one - I have myself as Pinocchio and as Alice in wonderland too - but I don't think those are Grimm! 

I've been working on glass illustrations lately to check them out just visit my blog. 

-thanks Amarettogirl!

1 character 4+studies

I've been away for a bit this summer...but I'm back!! I had this character I've been working on for awhile - I have actually even developed her much further than this old sketch- but I thought these sketches fit the prompt or task at hand quite well - 4 panels (studies) one character. My scanner is out for some tea, probably with some long lost techy friends, so I had to make do with a camera shot hope the quality doesn't bother anyone. Excellent Monday Artday prompt!! -Amarettogirl

Rainbirds CD

At this moment in my life if I were to design a CD cover, I would submit this:

In the vain of Guerilla Art, I'm doing a 'giveaway'challenge in which readers comment on positive goodbyes which I call Rainbirds. The winner receives a signed photographic print of this illustrative collage entitled Rainbirds. Though 'goodbyes'' are often considered sad, somber events there is also great freedom and release in deciding to say goodbye and doing it. So if your interested in winning a print of this image, please go to my website -Amarettogirl and leave me a comment about the 'rainbird' in your life by the fourth of July!!! (It'll be our way of celebrating Independance Day!!) It would be great if the winner would also do a giveaway of art in exchange!! http://amarettogirl.squarespace.com/blog/2008/6/17/guerilla-art-and-first-giveaway.html - Amarettogirl a.k.a. marisol diaz

Supernatural Dreams

Thanks for inviting me!! I'm so happy to participate on Monday Artday and I look forward to getting my feet wet around these parts of the blogosphere!!  For my first post, I thought I would put up something from my illustration portfolio. This is an acrylic painting done 16X20 illustration board and it pays homage to my native island!! I thought it appropriate for the supernatural theme ---since it takes something extraordinary to dream like that. I look forward to being able to create art weekly, based on the prompts and I am so so so excited! Thanks!
