A new project for a friend. I have done some work for her before. This is for her new lighting business.

A perspective...

There are those times when you draw something really fast, not really knowing what your going for and it ends up pretty good. This was one of those times.

???

I always jump back and forth and can never decide what I should do. Yellow? Pink? Not at all?

Red shoes, red shoes...

They are everywhere!

Find out why here.

Happy Birthday Mom...

It is a tradition in our family that you do NOT buy a card, but that you MAKE it instead. This goes for any occasion, not just Birthdays. Some how my parents got out of this, and come to think of it, I now understand why I never receive cards from them... Just the presents. hmmmm

Anyway.... Happy Birthday Mom...

Cupcake Interiors.

one day...

one day its not going to be very professional for me to carry a backpack anymore. but i really enjoy having everything with me and having two hands free at the same time. until then i'll continue to carry one, and draw everyone else's

mini-portfolio...

I needed to create a small, and brief portfolio for an internship possibility. I printed small cards with my work and projects, but could not think of what to put them in. After a visit to the Salvation Army, I came up with the idea of using an old book and some cork. It turned out pretty good.

amidst the chaos...

Working along with the 1st year drawing class, and with a little help from Suzanne, (her square is the grid like one towards the bottom left) I did a quick creative drawing inspired by a stick and my cell phone.

This is one of my favorite ways to draw. You really cant mess it up.

so busy...

I have a lot on my plate right now. Projects are beginning to get the best of me, and my brain cannot keep up. For more interest in what I am working on go here or here.

Steak and Eggs...

I havent posted any of my food in a while, so I am sharing my most recent. I've never had 'Steak and Eggs' before, and after seeing it the other day, I had to give it a try. It turned out great. I did an italian style version, using herbs de provence, rosemary and a little s&p. It was very good.

Sketch and Color.

Just a quick sketch of a bag.
