Inspired by the childhood toys my parents brought me earlier this month.  Sea Wees were little mermaid bath toys.  My across the street friend Stepahnie Sykes had them too, to when we had a sleep over or play date I'd bring mine.  You see in the illustration that she's showing me how to brush their hair (the one I'm holding needs some help!).  The green base color is from the green tile I remember her bathroom having circa late seventies/early eighties. 

just a little degu digital sketch!

digital drawing of our hedgehog, just for fun

Experimenting with China Markers on Plexiglass with tissue paper collaged on the back.  It has a very live look, and it scans okay.

This was a doodle I did at work, just layering in character on top of character, something I liked to do on blackboards in study hall in high school.  I scanned it in and digitally colored it in.  Even though I didn't go into animation (for which I'm grateful knowing how hard it is), I still feel all the Disney movies inspired me.

idea for useless gadget themed Woot contest

working with halftones

So, the thing I'm working on and looking up tutorials on is halftones. That's how you can get a gray shade of a color without having to pick another color. It's just dots going in a gradient. This is important in printing cause the less colors the less money involved. Also with the Woot site I'm entering contests for you only have 6 colors to work with. This hawk practice piece only has 4 colors. and if you looked closely enough most of the color is in dots. The drawing itself was hand drawn and scanned in the computer. I'm liking the look of computer and hand drawn coming together.
