Yes, that's correct. A super-wonky hunk of lamb on a hunk of 2 x 4. I may just turn slightly edgy yet!

Something new for me- pen and ink. Real ink, real pen nibs. I love it- it gives me the line quality I've been looking for for so long! Why did I not try this sooner?
I drew up a few of these little cards yesterday...oh my goodness do I love to draw. I haven't had much time to sit down and focus lately- this was such a treat!

I've posted this painting before:


So now here it is with it's own little plush version!



The chicken bandit strikes again!

I'm always leaping from plush to paint. If you don't see me around these parts for bits, it's most likely because I am knee deep in polyfill.The gap is suddenly growing smaller though: I made a painting of one of my softies.

Hey good lookin'

Away in a wooden shoe
Originally uploaded by chicken widget.

I painted this to commemorate our birds, when they were brand new to us.
The first part of the old children's poem:
"Winken and Blinken and Nod
one night
sailed off in a wooden shoe"
had been running around in my mind for days. And for the life of me I couldn't remember how it ended! (Still can't.) I just got the most wonderful mental image from those lines...and here it is.

Actually, the painting has been done for a few days now. The scanning, resizing, etc- that is what takes forever.
This little guy is on his way to the diy:mia show.

What a great IF theme! I chose the character Raz, from the video game Psychonauts, because I just finished the game and I love the character design. I find this paining geeky on a few levels: 1. Fan art is geeky. 2. You could also say that the character Raz is geeky.
In any case, I adore the geeks. Probably because at heart I still am one.

Somehow, I can't get the title box to let me write in it. Agh. Anyway:

Here's a self portrait I did awhile back. I was very, very not into correcting anything as a point of principle then. I've gotten over that (mostly) now. I think it fits, though. I call it "Portrait of the artist as young hipster".

Not so much with the naming things. I think I'll stick with "Untitled."

So odd, becuase I conicidentally just did:

Sorry I don't have a better shot of it. These stickers are to go out on my orders, and also these little packets I'm putting together to mail out in the Sampler.

One from a set I did of rabbits illustrating song titles from The Smiths.

The first thing that came to mind (and kept on repeatedly coming to mind) was part of a Jonathan Richman song-
"And they could laugh,
and that's like, rejection-
you probably won't like that very well.
