Happy 2012!!!!!

Hey everyone! I know, I know it's been forever since I posted. My resolution this year is to do more of my own artwork, so hopefully in 2012 my blog won't be as neglected as 2011 was.

I started off the new year right! I made this little sketch and watercolor of a pug for a friend of mine who has one of the cutest pugs in the whole wide world, named Goblin. (The other one is named Ollie!) It was a late Christmas present, and I am super happy with how it turned out. I haven't done a watercolor since college, so I was pretty nervous sitting down to start it, but as luck would have it I didn't totally screw it up. Yay!!! I hope to do more this year, since it was super fun to do and also fairly quick and relaxing. It's nice to do something old school every now and then. :)

Mr. Badger's New Book

Hi everyone! Sorry for the long, long delay in posting. I've been super busy for the past few months, so I haven't had any time to do any personal artwork in a while.

I was able to collaborate with my boyfriend Brian on his newest illustration, however. This was the first time we've worked together on an actual project. It's called 'Mr. Badger's New Book'. I concepted the illustration, did a rough sketch, and some (really really) rough turn arounds of said gentlemanly badger, and Brain sculpted the final piece. I was also his (lovely) assistant for the photo shoot of the final sculpt.

It was a lot of fun collaborating with him! I hope we can do it again in the future. Check out his blog, http://sculptwerks.blogspot.com for more process photos. Also, check out his other work too! It's really good (and that's not just because I'm biased! ;) )

That's all I got right now. Hopefully it won't be another five months before my next post!

Goat

I was looking through my computer for something and I found this totally by accident. It was in a wrong folder, Lord knows how it got there, but the point is, I obviously meant to post this at some point and it never happened. I'm glad I stumbled on it though, cuz he's just too cute not to share!

Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year to each and every one of you! May 2011 be full of happiness, fun and cuddly cute things!

Thus ends my Holly Jolly Holiday month-long art-strvaganza! I din't QUITE make it to 31 posts, but with balancing the holidays, deadlines, and fitting in some time for sleep, I think I did OK. I hope you all enjoyed them as much I as enjoyed making them, and that they helped put you in a holiday mood.

Polar Bear

Winter Penguin

Nothing says cold weather fun like a little penguin in a scarf!

Hot Chocolate Fairy

This one is both Matt and Brian's idea; after all, if you do an EggNog Fairy, you can't leave out Hot Chocolate, the yummiest of all cold-weather drinks! I like how spunky she turned out; unlike certain T.V. News producers from the 70's, I like spunk! :)
