1. A New Frontier

It’s been about 4 months since I’d last posted anything on this ‘ere blog. With back to back deadlines and prepping for the arrival of our first newborn, the end of 2014 throughout the beginning of 2015 has been at the least to say chaotic and life changing..

If you follow me in any of my social media accounts you’ll notice an exorbitant amount of pictures {I apologize by the way..new mom syndrome you know..} of this little peapod,

Meet the new little addition to our growing family, Aria {yes we’re Game of Thrones fans} Rose. Born March 25th 2015 at 3:15 in the morning. It’s been a whole month since her arrival and aside from being sleep deprived, the late night feedings, milk vomits and spit ups, and her constant need to shriek at the top of her lungs..like ALL THE TIME…she hasn’t stopped putting a smile on our face since then.

she finds this all too amusing..

Now to top all that off I’m officially back to work! Hopefully the transition from old schedule to new schedule won’t be too bad

who am I kidding!?..

..Ah well..wish me luck!

In the meantime here’s the artwork I did for Highlights this past month!

Happy Monday!

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

See you all in 2012.

It’s going to be a great year.

3. Pulling the Mask Over His Eyes

some vigilantes just don’t know how to share…

As soon as Capee-tan America turns his head to see the the baby in distress Batman pointed out to him…b.m pulls a fast one on old capeetan.. Oh that sneaky sneaky Batman…

This is probably the closest thing I will ever get to doing any kind of fan art. I was going to do a turkey for this weeks quick sketch and color but by tomorrow afternoon (and for the next few if you’re hosting) I bet you’d probably be up to your gizzards in turkey. So instead here’s a little homage to a couple of my fave characters growing up…

WISHING YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY THANKS GIVIN! ENJOY!

4. Love Birds and Badgers

Every now and then I get to work on a commission that means a whole lot more than meets the eye. I love getting to work on illos knowing that it has so much sentimental value to the recipients..ah love..es strange! Here’s a quick look at some of the progress..

A few of our initial ideas. I personally would have loved to see the third one developed…maybe on my own time.

Just finished the rough color this morning. I was waiting till I finished the actual piece but I wanted to update today. Hopefully I’ll wrap the final up by next week. I can’t wait to see how this turns out. Wee. Here’s to love and forest animals..HAPPY FRIDAY!

5. Something in between

I was looking through my old college archives and found this renaissance inspired (digital) painting I did during my junior yr (or was it senior yr?) of college.  Since this weeks topic is old fashioned, I thought ‘well you can’t get anymore old fashioned than this!’ It’s taking a lot of restraint not to render the rough edges of this, but I think it’s good leaving the past unrendered, it’s easier to see how much ones evolved.

Have fab weekend yall! xoxo

6. Adrift? Ahead. AHOY!

Cap’n Chrunchy Munky and his first mate Nelson are on their way to embark on the greatest adventure of their lives! They’re gonna visit their muddah for Muddah’s Day.

Full speed AHEAD for some good old home cookin!” They say.

I was debating whether or not to post this video since the process in coloring the ship and waves took me a lot longer than usual and I was trying to cram it all in to fit the duration of the song (which is Dancing in the Moonlight by Toploader). But I figured I might as well post it up, since it won’t be doing any good just sittin’ in my archives.

Thanks for watchin!

7. I Remember When I Lost My Mind...

Happy Zany Monday to all!

This would be my first contribution to the topic "insanity" in which I posted a while back on me original blog @ beautifique. Mixed Media. Oil on canvas and I literally punctured a huge hole in the middle of it and took photo refs of my head sticking out of the canvas to get this sketch done. In doing so, I totally felt like I was insane. Can't wait for the next topic!
