Albino

2012-01-04T23:25:00.000-08:00

Two-k-Twelve

2012-01-03T10:52:00.000-08:00

Have ya ever heard of Shakes & Fidget? Love the art work. Haven't played the game but was inspired to draw some characters from their 'create a character' screen. Was also dazed and confused by some strange music, too, Ponponpon and Freezepop. Came upon them both by chance during my surfin' adventures. Weird but amusing. *lol* [ۦдۦ]

Oh, yeah, first drawing of the 'supposed apocalyptic' year. [°¸°]

Tattoo Sketch

2011-08-07T22:03:00.000-07:00

There has been a surge of interest in my third eye tattoo design and I thank you. If anyone would like to use the design you are welcome to it, but my only request is that you send me (email address is in my profile) a picture of the finished product. I'm curious to see how it'll look on someone's skin.

Thank you, kindly.

Here's the original drawing in all its messiness and without any digital manipulation.

Poe and Cuddles are racing to get the heck outta there else they'll be clobbered with Meep's ultimate snowball and Nola's awesome pitching arm.

Lost Rue

2010-10-12T22:15:00.001-07:00

He's a character (Rue) from the video game Dewprism/Threads of Fate. Cute game. [^-^]

Fresh Banana

2010-10-11T17:15:00.001-07:00

I thought I had this posted, guess not. Well, here he is.

The Green Guy

Quite a bit ago I had a dream I was being transported by a blue fish through the sky. I don't recall much more. He was a cute fishie, quite friendly, too.

Li'l Lost Soul Girl

2010-10-03T16:28:00.000-07:00

Haven't done a lost soul in some time. Here be one.

Hello

2010-09-18T10:36:00.000-07:00

How is everyone? I hope well. Sorry I haven't been around been busy with life, ya know, the usual. In between life's busy schedule I have managed to scribble here and there not much though and nothing completed. Here's a taste of some things that I've not manged to complete.

I changed the fish's face, he looked too happy. I shall call him Hernando The Hideous Fish. Let's hope I finish these soon, got others to complete.

Oh yeah, can ya guess the word in the first drawing?

Doin'

2010-03-22T23:01:00.001-07:00

What I'm workin' on--li'l by li'l.

Expired - (IF)

Haven't participated in an Illustration Friday theme in awhile.

Here's my rendition of expired.

Moonwind

2010-03-07T20:53:00.000-08:00

I have really neglected this blog, haven't I?

Well, here's somethin' to make up for the lack of attention.

It's not my design, by the way. Long ago, I found this image on a talcum powder bottle. The product was from Avon, called Moonwind. I loved the design so much I drew it, and here it is cleaned up 'cause it has faded through the years.

Fishie

2009-11-23T22:10:00.000-08:00

Oh fishie, we love you.

Pssst . . . I have no new art to post. This year has been lacking in completed drawings, let alone projects that have yet to start. My head's full of ideas but my hands haven't the initiative, or time, to put onto paper.

And now back to your regular programming.

bEE . . . EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE . . . EEEEEEEEp

HaPPy B-dAy! [˚Д˚] You know who you are. [^ﺏ^]

Sandow

2009-11-07T15:08:00.000-08:00

Here's the actual pencil sketch without the digital tweaking. Gonna head over to Michaels' store to get me another knead eraser; seem to have lost mine. I feel lost without it, the other erasers just don't do it for me.

I've been trying to get myself motivated to draw after a very long break (unintended). Here's hopin'.

Blur - (IF)

2009-11-07T12:02:00.000-08:00

Muscle practice using Eugene Sandow as my reference, with a blurred painterly effect. It's kinda how I see without my glasses.

My Illustration Friday submission.

Skinny - (IF)

2009-10-30T21:02:00.001-07:00

Holy Toledo, two Illustration Friday submissions in a row! [˚Д˚]

Just so happen to have two old drawings that fit the themes, that's all. [ۦдۦ]

HaPPy HaLLoWeeN to everyone!! [^ﺏ^]

Dark Girl

2009-10-12T09:05:00.000-07:00

Cleaned this up. Portrait of someone (dark-innocence22) on dA (deviantArt). She seems to have vanished from that place.

I don't blame her, Blogger is far more interesting. [^ﺏ^]

Tattoo Concept

2009-09-27T22:26:00.000-07:00

Tryin' my best to make time for art. Workin' on this, a preliminary design for a tattoo.

Oodles and oodles of noodles in a bizarre doodle pattern (done while on the phone), tweaked in painter just for fun.

Infinite - (IF)

--------

An Illustration Friday submission for infinite. I haven't done one in a long while.

Ghosties & Tea

2009-08-18T01:05:00.000-07:00

I love masala chai tea! [^з^] Drank so much of it that I can't fall asleep--so I did this collage of random doodles that were takin' space in my 'puter. [˘ε˘]

Oh, the things we do when we can't sleep. [°ֻ°]

Twit BG

2009-07-20T23:00:00.000-07:00

My twitter background. Not sure 'bout it--it needs more work. My right hand is cramping, gonna stop for now since I'm using my mouse to paint this.

Happy

2009-07-18T11:37:00.001-07:00

WOOHOO, I'm officially on holidays for two weeks! [^o^] Thinkin' happy thoughts.

An Oldie

2009-06-25T21:51:00.000-07:00

Drew this long ago, was eighteen. I retouched it as the pencil had faded quite a bit.

Nothing New

2009-03-20T09:49:00.000-07:00

Just fillin' space with some of last year's pencil work.

I should do more of these.

The first word is 'packed' and the second image is 'doodle page', if you're wonderin'. [ۦдۦ]

Micro-Plushie Madness

2009-03-01T20:15:00.000-08:00

On guard, I have a fork and a finger, and my tongue is stickin' out! I'm not afraid to use either of 'em! [˘ε˘]

Works In Progress

2009-02-28T22:19:00.000-08:00

Here's some sketches I'm workin' on . . . kinda. I tend to start stuff forget about 'em than find it and start it again.

As for your drawing, Marf, it's gettin' there.

Here's a peek of some of it (it's been cropped, taken by my cell phone, and the eyes were tweaked with painter).

There's more done but I'll post it when it's finished; this is just a teaser. [°-^]

Monster Thingie

2009-02-07T11:15:00.001-08:00

An abstract monster thing (old drawing) on some exceptional paper; gotta get me more. Paper makes a world of difference on a drawing.

Your drawing is almost done, Marf. I'm enjoyin' it so much that I'm gonna give another of you a go, if ya don't mind. [°-°]

Bodyguard

2009-01-28T22:42:00.000-08:00

I changed my layout. Why, I dunno?

I've been quite busy chaperoning and chauffeuring just about everyday of the week (gawd, I'm gettin' tired of it) . . . haven't had an opportunity to draw. But, I have played around with painter. Added some life to Mala (an old drawing), my personal bodyguard.

Seahorses

2009-01-18T21:21:00.000-08:00

I've been overtaken by water themes as of late. Ya needn't feel left out, Marf, I haven't forgotten your drawing. Actually, I have started it just got sidetracked, which is my usual behaviour, nothin' new.

This painting is solely digital, and with my mouse, too. I went to check prices for a tablet and a Wacom Bamboo is affordable. Yippee!!! I will be savin' for one.

Anyway, back to my submerged imagination.

Felix sit annus novus!

2008-12-27T23:00:00.000-08:00

And that's Latin for . . .

Startin' January 26, it'll be the year of the ox. Thought I'd let ya know, for those who didn't know. [°-^]

I'm too lazy to colour this, so I just filtered it with painter. I've been so distracted lately, keep startin' sketches before I finish any. I'm naughty! [ۦдۦ]

I'll get to what I need to finish, honest. [¯-¯]

Voices - (IF)

2008-12-24T20:39:00.000-08:00

I wasn't gonna do a drawing for Illustration Friday, but the creative voices in my head made me do this. [°¸°]

About the drawing: Mala (my lost soul imp) has asked Meep (one of my snow creations) to make her into a snowman as this is her first experience with snow. Unfortunately for Cuddles, Mala used his hat for decoration, and he wants it back, now!

The inspiration for this drawing . . . the lovely (not) snow dumping that's occurred all day. I couldn't get my car beyond the driveway, therefore no work today. [°ֻ°]

Goth?

2008-12-21T10:16:00.000-08:00

Just messin' around with my pencil. I did this yesterday when I was suppose to be doin' the soldier below. It's goth boy & girl--was gonna ink 'em into lost souls but decided against it--would take too long, felt like somethin' quick, ya know.

WiP

2008-12-20T23:03:00.000-08:00

I'm gonna skip this week's Illustration Friday theme 'cause I'm workin' on this dude. And, when he's done I shall start on Marf's drawing. [^.^]

Rambunctious - (IF)

2008-12-15T23:58:00.001-08:00

A very rambunctious Christmas tree. I call him Bart, and he likes to be centre of attention as you can see.

Illustration Friday submission of rambunctious.

Similar - (IF)

2008-12-07T16:37:00.000-08:00

I was watchin' the birds yesterday, and man, birds have no shame, they just go when they gotta go.

I can relate to this as I had somethin' similar happen. Sittin' on my sun deck basking in the sun and reading a book, mindin' my business when . . . along came a rude interruption outta nowhere right on my left shoulder. Like, eeeuuuuw!

Illustration Friday submission of similar.

Portrait

2008-11-30T09:58:00.000-08:00

I haven't drawn much since last weekend been tired and a li'l lazy, too. Here's an older drawing (June of 2008). My portrait attempt of an internet friend I've known for quite awhile now (goin' on three years soon). Here is the making of Ms. Bowerydweller from DeviantArt. The reference I used was quite small and blurred--I did the best I could with what I had.

I plan to do more portraits of random people when I get my motivation back.

Balloon - (IF)

2008-11-29T09:15:00.001-08:00

Opinion - (IF)

It wasn't only Nola's opinion that Poe's singing was dreadful. Cuddles thought so, too.

Crazy (old) doodles on oversize manila paper.

Wise - (IF)

2008-11-13T22:20:00.000-08:00

Here's my Illustration Friday submission. It's rather rushed (sloppily done) as today is the last day for this week's theme which is wise.
Anyway . . . what came to mind when I thought of the word wise, was the wise-man pose which is a (polarity) yoga position.

Place thumbs in ear canal, 1st fingers over eyes gently, 2nd fingers over bridge of nose, 3rd fingers over mouth and pinkies over chin.

The benefits are that it closes all the body’s senses allowing energies to go inward, balance and harmonizing. Eases anxiety and emotional tension.

Magical Yellow Snow

2008-11-11T21:45:00.000-08:00

My first lost soul drawing of Boohoobara, Boo, and heart flowers.

For anyone wonderin', I deleted my other blog, "A Spirit's Night" 'cause I really messed up the html stuff, and of course, I forgot to save the template. So, outta sheer anger I clicked the dreaded delete button and all was gone. No matter, I'm startin' over--and for the sake of my sanity I shall keep things simple (plain Jane) this time.
