and so it appears the time has come once again. and i just love making new *projects* for myself and making my plate so full that i can barely sleep at night because my head is bursting with idea after idea after idea....well you get the point...;) really no big surprise considering as a small child i had a hard time *resting*. it's the over-abundance of drive i suppose. but hey, NO COMPLAINTS from me! i'm a big believer in pushing yourself to be the best you can possibly be....
and for me, that is constantly growing as an artist and illustrator. so....within the next week, i will be re-doing the website over at www.theenchantedeasel.com (which is now "under construction"). i just wanted to feature little pippa and change up some of the layout and colors. oh, and i did i mention they went and changed their software?! let's just say that i have my work cut out for me!
although i do have a bachelor's in graphic design (as well as fine arts) i am NO FAN of web design....or any computer design. i'm old school...pencil, paintbrush, canvas, sketchbook. because....that's just how pippa and i roll...;)
oh, and new website means new blog. like i said, i love a full plate!:)
and a cute little monkey too...;)
this is the S.S. Aiden! complete with a little pirate (by the name of Aiden-who knew?!) and a crazy little monkey named Macaroon (i couldn't resist since i placed him in a coconut tree-AND i LOVE macaroons. self-serving, i know, i know....) anyway....
this is a custom illustration/painting i am working on for a friend of my step-mom's who is about to give birth to a little boy named....(3 guesses. it starts with an "A"....)
will be done this by tomorrow. tonight MAYBE....bec i'm feeling a bit more *ambitious* than usual.....;)
THEN....(so excited for this)...i will be working on a recipe for a contest from the wonderful nate and salli over at they draw and cook. the link here http://www.theydrawandcook.com/kraft-contest will explain all the contest rules and such. oh, and by the way, kraft...yes KRAFT foods has a hand in this one. so exciting.....:)

at it's finest!
working on 2 custom piece at once. this one for a little girl named lauren who loves her ladybugs.
and the latter one, a painting for a baby named grady (whose family are big phillies fans). myself being the die-hard atlanta braves fan that i am....well, let's just say i'm tying not to *accidentally* make him a brave ;)

i am selling PRINTS of this here in my etsy shop WITHOUT the name on the blocks-because i was smart and scanned it before i painted his name ;)

so, i'm thinking grandma may have *yielded* and bought little noah his much coveted green geiko galoshes....;)
this is a piece i did last year for a story called "the most boring birthday in the universe" for stories for children magazine. i thought it was a good example of *yielding*....in a cute way of course;)

here is a custom piece i just finished a couple of days ago...just took a while to post thanks to my UNCOOPERATE laptop....
if you're wondering why the whole Christmas theme??? well, the little girl was actually born on Christmas day AND is a ballerina. so....first thing that came to mind was my favorite ballet-the nutcracker.
can i say the little mouse is my favorite part of this....?;)
up next is the custom painting for her 2 little sisters (see sketch posted below). that is what i will be working on this coming week.

i have a bit of "free" time in between christmas gifts and custom orders so i wanted to try something a bit different. i am going to do a series (i hope) of 11x14 gallery wrapped canvases to be sold as ORIGINALS in my etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/enchantedeasel.
i thought it would be cute to kind of do a compilation of sorts on a theme for a child's room. yes, i will be doing boys too;) maybe a cute little astronaut/outer space theme or dinosaurs....
but my first one in this series will be called mermaid life with my sweet little maribel. this will look great in a little girl's room with ocean animals/beach theme. or maybe even in a bathroom. lots of bright, tropical colors are planned for this cutie:)
stay tuned....
