Well.... Shit

Lost my job today. I really loved it. So now it is back to Florida and looking for the next thing. I hope it is fun. I could really use some fun. And money. Yeah I could totally use some money. :|

Emo Prince

Awww Emo Prince for Lori. I am always saddened by how crappy the silver pen and the iridescence scans.... I really like this one. Heck... I've liked all of these I have done. I hope they do. Ho ho ho Merry Christmas!!

Ho ho Ho

Merry Christmas Wes! Look what was finished to bring to you tomorrow. I am a little sad about the border but it was because as I gilded the edges the pen slipped and marked the card MARKED IT!! *sob* and the iridescence does not scan AT ALL. But that is the glory of natural medium!

Currently

This was a Customer Appreciation card for Bobby who is my best customer. Seriously.

I always like to draw Tetin. I rarely like to draw me. One of those statements is a lie.

I had an idea for a series called "The Perils of Pirates." I am keeping it in my head but I think it needs a lot more thought.

Oh Scarecrow... And I didn't love you most of all! I find the Scarecrow to be incredibly creepy. An animated bunch of sticks and straws with what should have been an unchanging expression and a craving to have a brain.... Terrifying. And in the movie when the monkeys rip him apart.... How is that not absolutely terrifying??

All my little joys <3

I finally recieved my membership to the LWA (Letter Writers Alliance) http://www.16sparrows.com/LWA/ and I put my name in for the pen pal swap. I can't wait. I have always wanted a pen pal and no one whenever I moved away has ever kept up a correspondence with me. I am crazy excited.

Got to have dinner with and see a lot of people from work who were let go (cursed economy!) whom I really miss a lot. Thank goodness for little Collin's birthday. <3

I got my Starfighter print finally from DA. Yeah!!!

I got a lot done on my projects today, thank goodness because every day feels more and more like molassas.

I know exactly what I will be making for A-kon. A couple of illustraion books: Fairytales, Movies, and if I can an issue of Security.

My shenanigans table. <3 Oh how I love you my little shenanigans!!!

TRADESIES!!

Remember that I have a ton of sketchbooks that plain didn't sell? Hahaha... *cry*

Well hey, let's meld the two! Anyone out there got a sketchbook they printed up with all the joy in their hearts? Wanna trade me yours for mine? Holy crap let's get together and do this! Send me an email and on GOOD FAITH omg... Faith!! Good!!! I will mail you out MY sketchbook for YOURS... This seems like a totally genius idea to me.

Email me at skbtrades(at)gmail.com

addendum - did you make a craft and wanna trade? contact me too!!

Sketches and an EXPERIMENT

My Security characters. Well the main trio anyways. Agatha, Lan, and Mu. Mu looks cranky as usual and that always makes me happy. Lan I am still striving for consistency with. For some reason he is really hard for me to capture every time. His sort of shell-shocked look.
Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf. How I drew them here I keep thinking... They could date... They could so totally date... Maybe I will do a storybook about it.
Oh Algernon. I so totally experimented on your gangly ass. What I tried was I markered him up in grey tones and then went back over him with my colored markers (which I have very few of). It was not a total disaster! But it also was not the look I wanted necessarilly. So.. SIGH... I'll try again but at least this didn't turn out bad. I will say tho that that Deco Peach is like way more intense than it was when I bought it. And... I hate markering on Bristol Board. It is god awful. GOD AWFUL!

It's a human skull on the ground

The turnaround I gave Lori. I think it will be good because his arms are down? Seems like that is a good thing from what I have heard....

Her Royal Painness

The Princess Cecily. She's horribly forward and knows what she wants. Pity she's too tall and Algernon won't have a thing to do with her.

Foe Alchemists

Gyptia is my favorite. :| Briala is not pictured cuz her redesign is taking me time...
