king in pencil

just a little character sketch of the king! I do enjoy his curly-q mustache very much. 

queen in pencil

Just one of the several concept sketches I've been doodling for a new promotion piece. I'm not sure how I feel about the circle filled background, I think that may change. My favorite part about the whole design process (besides laying down the final stroke of watercolor) is the idea phase.. so you may see more versions of this in the near future!

fat catt and licorice

Matt and I have been toying around with the idea of a children's book (written and illustrated by us!!) called fat catt and licorice. This of course is based off our own cherished kitties and their quirks (they never fail to make us laugh). We are always making up stories about them and what they really do when we aren't around. But... we are pretty sure catt just sleeps most of the time and licorice is hiding under the covers- he's a typical scared-y black cat. However their typical day would obviously make for an extremely super boring book. Hence our made-up stories of their imaginative adventures!

Below is a picture of licorice actually above the covers!



He meows a. lot. and has giant mitten like feet- which are so adorable!


So here just a few quick sketches of mostly cat head shapes and expressions.
More to come!

Ok it's been what seems like eons since I've been on here. (again).
But I promise to make a much better attempt on the updates! so many awesome things have come up that I can't not share.
first of these updates is love bird drawings!! (no surprise right?) A really good friend of mine's brother is getting married. His fiance contacted me and wants some images for buttons! and how perfect is this, the theme is lovebirds! It's a fall wedding with a great color scheme of plum, blues, greens. Needless to say I'm quite excited. here are some of the quick idea sketches I sent her this morning.
enjoy!

nest lady

just a loose progression from my last post/promotion idea
I sketched several different styles for the tree hair but I just wasn't happy with the results howeverrrr I'm liking this one a little more!

Just one of the few sketches I've been toying around with for a new self promotion piece.
This one is... a tree/bird lady!

illustration friday- legendary

The legendary Sasquatch isn't as ferocious as everyone thinks!
Not really a finished piece... just a sketch/idea done with my handy dandy mechanical pencil on bristol paper.
