Happy Canada Day!

Hope everyone had an awesome Canada Day....we did! Check out my cute little Avie Bean living it up at the Parliament Hill Canada Day Party!

Another Quickie

Here's another quick practice painting that I did recently. I just started laying colours down and this is what I came up with after a couple of hours. It's nice to just paint with no real direction sometimes and see what comes out of it as a result. :)

Happy Friday!

Boy! Am I glad that it's Friday. It's been a long week, both my 3 year old daughter and I have been sick all week. Boooooo-frigin'urns to that! We're feeling better now...just in time for the WEEKEND!! Sweet! So as a treat, here's another photoshop painting I did recently...this one is straight out of my head. Have an awesome weekend!

Balls to the WALL

I need a kick in the ass! I practically gave up on my poor old blog. I swear the last 15 entries must start with me apologizing for not updating. I'm sure the apologies are wearing thin for anyone who actually reads my blog...so no more apologies. I MUST POST INSTEAD! Hehhe!



So, I've been doing a lot of photoshop painting lately, trying to sharpen my skills. I'll be posting some newer stuff here on my blog.



Here is one I did about a month ago. It's done mostly on one layer and I did it in about an hour and 45 minutes. I used photo reference. I also recorded myself painting this one so I will post the video as well. I sped the video up so don't worry...you won't have to sit through an hour and a half of me painting! ;)

Without further ado....here is the final painting as well as the speed painting video. Enjoy!!





Cheers,

Threadless Submission

Well, I've submitted a new design to Threadless.com, an online t-shirt community. My design is called "Find a monster, pick him up and all day long you'll have good luck." Hahhahaa...straight to the point...eeerrr...or not. So, if you get a chance, I would LOVE it if you could VOTE for my design over at Threadless, please and THANK YOU! :)

YAY HOLIDAYS!

So excited for the upcoming Holidays!!! Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!!!

Muppet Buddy!

Here's a little guy that I sketched at work today....kind of reminds me of a creature that might exist in a Brian Froud kind of world. :)

I'm gonna call him Lenny.
