AWOL

Recently I've been working full-time on a kid's cartoon and freelancing as well (AND trying to go the gym regularly for the first time in my life AND trying to learn Spanish!!! Something's gotta give here!!!) thereby totally neglecting to make any personal stuff.

To combat anymore laziness on my part, I just started a daily doodle blog!

I'm also going to make a concerted effort to get back into all the weekly challenges!!!

Happy drawing everyone!

Postcrossing

I've been on Postcrossing for a couple of months now but have been pretty slack with it! This is my 5th official card to be sent. I like the randomness (senders and recipients are random) of the whole Postcrossing idea :)

Budget Textas and Prestige Copics

Cheers!

Bunny

Something so cute I could just spontaneously combust for Monday Artday's theme of 'Bunny'. Wanted to do something fast in Illustrator so *Kablam!*
I also really like the number 3 when it comes to series of things. In every essay I ever wrote, examples would always be in threes (e.g. hommus, pizza and cupcakes) and every story would have stunningly appropriate and fabulous adjectives in threes. Good thing I'm not pursuing a career in writing ...

Cephalopod

Their love for each other was tentacular!!!

It's not really finished, but I'm undecided as to how I want to render the drawing so here it is for now!
Cheers,

Blot Fishies

I've been experimenting with some inkblot critters.

Here I present for your observation a Spanish Sumo Catfish and a Coiffed Ba-Looper.
Obviously I did no research into what fish actually look like.

So Berry Sweet

Messing around with gradient meshes in Illustrator. Be gentle ... it's my ... second time ...
I was looking for fresh juice at lunch today but at $5.50 for an orange juice I opted for a 'Fruit Cup' which was raspberries and other berries whizzed with OJ. Tastiness on a 31C day. That's my explanation for the subject. No excuses for the pun ... I'm sorry ...

Um ... sometimes I get an idea and run with it ...

Black and White ACEOs

A new direction! Gonna try out a few different styles in the shop ... I love the size of these cards, it's not as intimidating as a big bad blank white page ...

New Bird ACEOs

All my previous ACEOs have sold! I have to say I was not expecting such a cool response!

I've added the following sleepy birdie/penguins to my shop (joojy.etsy.com) just now ... which is looking rather sparse at the moment! Will hopefully make another three today! I like doing things in three's :D

Kamera Kat

DefaultArtist over at Shuttercal gave me the idea to make some characters out of cameras. Ask and you shall receive!!!

New ACEOs

I've put some original (NOT PRINTS!) ACEOs on my newly opened Etsy Shop! :)

Up for sale are these original ACEOs (not prints!) I made inspired by the lovebirds I made a few days ago. Enjoy!

No man is an island.
