Shrewsbury Art Fair

I'm a vendor at the Shrewsbury MA artists guild fair today! It's at Dean Park until 3pm.
Please visit ^.^;;;

Big things have been going on. First of all, I have a new baby cousin (^.^<3) so I've been working on some sewing projects for him. I've been working on getting into art fairs and placing orders, etc. I even got some beach time (finally). This, unfortunately, means very few things have gotten past the sketch stage.

I cranked this out the other day. It's an ACEO that'll be for sale at my upcoming fairs. It's all I've been able to work on for a little while. The gold here is actually metallic on the actual piece, since the original is for sale.

Oh, other news, I've been redesigning my Tumblr like crazy and I finally got it pretty. (Go check it out?) And I have an interview with the Daily Planet in Burlington VT this week to display art. :D

new id

I finally got around to making a new ID/self portrait. I've been getting ready for some art fairs while I'm waiting to sign up for them (backwards, I know) so this will be displayed on my table.

I love the texture that gouache and achieve and how Mary Blair it is so I've been meaning to work on that. I think I managed on this one but I'm worried it looks a little to (dare I say it) trendy. Thoughts?



edit:
ignore this please ^.^;;

been awhile

I got back from an intense weekend of visiting people, which was lovely, but I don't have too much work to show. I saw Timon of Athens which is not one of Shakespeare's finest but this was a dark vaudeville steampunk interpretation which was GORGEOUS. I also got some beautiful books on illustration, which is where the inspiration for this came from.

I'm still not thrilled with it and I'm going to keep reworking it but I didn't have much else to show. The Darfur comic is getting published soon so I can finally show that! But in the meantime, I'll only have sketches for awhile I think.

Eleanor and Kent

I needed something fun after my previous project. I know the lines aren't straight and it kind of tilts but I wanted it to have the same loose sketchiness that the rough draft had. Expect more, I love these characters.

eep

The deadline is coming up fast on me so this is all you get. Sketch storyboard for a steampunk comic that'll be done at the beginning of next week.

 They need names. And so does this story. Ideas?

blush

As a pick-me-up from the Darfur project, I've been jotting down ideas for my Character Design final due next Wednesday.

This sort of came from how silly my boyfriend thought it was that the big giant of a mechanic blushed so much in the storyboard. I gotta agree but that's why I did it X3. Okay, now back to real work.

Burnt Sienna

I'm pretty sure all my dreams will be in Burnt Sienna ink for the next few weeks. As I said, I can't post the comic that I'm working on but I can post my homework for this week.

I also did a background but I didn't want to bother/don't have time to scan it. This has the same character from an older post (although she's a bit stubbier in this version) and some new ones in the same universe. I'm starting to like working in this style. Comic to follow?

Zac

Just a quick Stoneholders sketch. This is also my first attempt with a blending pencil. Apparently it hates regular pencil. Good to know.

I'll be pretty AWOL this weekend since I'm going out of state and have a solid chunk of work I have to get done. I have a bunch of goofy little sketches like this that I might add but I'm not sure I'd be able to post anything more impressive than that for awhile.

Flapper

I've been on a 1920s kick lately. Colored pencil and watercolor. The original is on etsy.

In other news, I'll be switching out the framed paintings at Spiritual Haze for unframed prints in plastic sheaths.
