i thought this was appropriate for this week's IF prompt *tribute*....my mad crazy love for mr. manning!
can't wait for football season to start!!!!
love Pippa and Peppermint, the candy cane striped zebra :)
my holiday 2012 card featuring my alter ego (Pippa) and her adorable little Christmas companion, Peppermint.
since i have such a LOVE of candy canes and all things peppermint, i just couldn't resist coming up with this cute and festive little zebra.
proof that you don't have to be an elf....or a reindeer to deliver some good ole' fashioned holiday cheer!
HAPPY HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!
LIMITED EDITION PRINTS (WITHOUT THE TEXT) SOLD HERE~
thank GOD! now i can go back to PAINTING :)
i am proud of myself for putting this site together all by my little self. and let me tell you, it was no easy task. like tuesday...i put in 20 hours...STRAIGHT! yeah, i'm determined like that ;)
have a look and let me (and pippa) know what you think....
www.theenchantedeasel.com
well, because i am on a mission to constantly better myself and my work, i promised myself i would re-design/re-do my website every year around this time.
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!:)
ok....so it's not really a *secret*...but my sweet little character Pippa is really ME!;)
i thought i would share some sketches of her as i am currently in the process of re-doing my website and the art work for the home page, bio page and contact page will feature Pippa :)
also, there's a sketch of Pippa in her new little Peyton Manning jersey....as a Bronco now, of course. because as we all know, Peyton is MY MAN! FOREVER! no matter where he plays, i will ALWAYS be his #1 fan!
ok....don't get me going about Peyton...;)

like everyone who knows me didn't know this was coming!
pippa loves peyton:)

greetings from hawaii!!!
Pippa, her new friend Peyton (like the name is a surprise with my mad love for Peyton Manning) and their bongo playing pig Penelope all invite you to try Kraft's Maui Luau sandwich. with yummy ham and swiss and a sweet touch pineapple (amongst a few other goodies).
let's hope the judges like it...
ALOHA!!!
love, Pippa
