Preparing for Lift-Off

Took some extra time on this week's Illustration Friday theme "Capable" and came up with this:

"Preparing for Lift-Off"
A capable teacher, an optimistic student,

Perhaps this lesson is not really prudent.

But the charts all look right - it's possible to fly

And he's always heard "It never hurts to try."

I kinda took the theme and ran with it. Nothing came to mind for "Capable" for a while, but I started thinking about my owls, and which one was the least capable flier. It then just made sense for the smartest owl to try and teach him. :)

On a side note, my sister was laughing at me yesterday because I try to use my pencils to the fullest:

Which can get a little ridiculous.

I hope to hear from you!

Valentine Love

Valentine's day is also my birthday, so I had to illustrate some special pieces :)

Roses are Red, Carnations are Pink
He tries so hard, but she does not blink.
If at first you don't succeed

Perhaps another try you need.

Try again - it could be a while

But someday you might make her smile.

Prints of these ACEO cards are for sale Here and Here. 

Happy Birthday Bob

Today is Bob Marley's birthday (or at least everyone thinks it is :), so I decided to do an ACEO card in honor of the event.

I enjoyed drawing it. I debated for quite a while on the background, but I felt I needed to keep the Jamaican colors. I did add a pattern to give it more of my style.

I sell my ACEO cards on eBay, you can see Bob Marley by Clicking Here.

My husband and I went to Jamaica for our Honeymoon, and Marley's face was on everything! I absolutely LOVE the Jamaican accent. They said with out his glasses, my husband looked Jamaican (his bone structure and dark skin), so he tried to talk Jamaican the whole time.

It's A Spring Thing

Illustration Friday :: Tension

ALMI Owls (from left to right) :: Bradbury : Walter : LeVert : Oswald : Egbert : Gertrude : Regina

What creates more tension than undefined admiration around Valentine's Day? This was a great chance to put most of my owls on one page. I hope you enjoy viewing it as much as I did creating it.

My original drawing is for sale on eBay Here.

Leave me some LOVE! :)
P.S. Regina came out a little more blue in the photo than in the original - she is Parma Purple in person.

A Series of Bosco

So, I had a buyer request a full series of Bosco, after buying this one:

 So, I did a few sketches...

and colored in the lines....

and here is the finished product of his beauty shoot:

   

   



Well, I hope you enjoyed getting to know Bosco a little better! :) Leave me some love.

La Chat

A couple new finished pieces for your eyes to feast on!

These are a couple cats from my La Chat series. They end on eBay in 9 hours! :)

Cats are interesting subjects - intelligent but kind of funny. My husband HATES cats (aside from when I draw them, of course), but I think they are intriguing. He doesn't like their difficult attitude, but I kind of like their independence and sauciness. I have owned several cats growing up and one dog.

Give me some love and let me know what you think!
