I'm Not Jaded

Hi guys! Sorry for my absence-- my computer suddenly started flailing and telling me "Danger! Danger, Will Robinson! Danger!"-- so I took it to Apple, hoping they could correct it. One week, three increasingly annoyed phone calls from yours truly, and one Logic Board later and I'm back!

This was done right before all hell broke loose; a commission for the owner of www.ImNotJaded.Com for her blog header. It was a lot of fun, she gave me lots of great references to work off of, right down to photos of shoes and lipstick colors! Thats how I like em', that way communication is crystal clear and everyone ends up happy :)

Happy Father's Day

I don't even know what to say about this, haha--

This is the card I threw together this morning for my dad for dad's day. I wanted to try out the goofy noodle-arm craze, and I can see why artists are all into it... its super fun, fast, and addictive!

Fan Art time! While all my friends are out catching the midnight Toy Story 3 release, I've been sitting around doodling (gotta wait for the boyfriend to see Toy Story, and he works night shift! D: )
Hopefully I'll get to see it tomorrow afternoon! If not, there is always the weekend-- I'm so excited for this movie!

And We Filled Each Other's Footprints In the Snow

So, I FINALLY got my Cintiq, after many moons of saving :)
I did this as a warm-up today and to get familiar with the feel of the tablet. It ended up kind of interesting, so I thought I'd share it :)
Its inspired by a line in Carina Round's song "Backseat" which goes:

"And we filled each other's footprints in the snow, full of warm, red alcohol. We were learning to make the world stand still, and it will, but until do I lie in the backseat of your mind?"

I think its a beautiful song, and it reminds me of some of the fun times I've had in the past few years of my life :)
