Little Blue Octopus

Potter

2011-08-07T16:45:00.000-07:00

Some Harry Potter sketches because I haven't really done anything else useful and arty this summer!

There's the lovely trio brewing Polyjuice Potion with Moaning Myrtle being absolutely no help at all, Ron's head floating in the top right corner, Hermione with her jar of blue flames, Neville being Neville, Ron and Hermione arguing about homework, then a random Lupin feeling under the weather. :(

Cats

2011-07-12T13:07:00.000-07:00

I just thought that the whole world

should know how cute my cats are.

Stir

Here's my drawing for last week's Illustration Friday topic. I missed the deadline to put it on the website, but here it is anyway! This is the first time I've drawn for myself since winter break, but I'm going to try to start doing Illustration Friday at least twice a month. Right now art school is sucking up all my energy!

January

A Christmas card watercolor that I did for my grandmother. Little mice should always have tiny cups of hot chocolate in the winter!

October and College

2010-10-05T07:50:00.000-07:00

Some sketches from my Digital Foundations class sketchbook...

And also some hipster zombies, because it's almost Halloween...

July

2010-07-10T21:51:00.000-07:00

Wow, it's already July! I am so excited about college. I never thought I'd say this, but I can't wait for school to start again.

May

2010-05-14T20:02:00.000-07:00

Two more weeks of high school, then I'm free! I'm really terrible at this blogging thing. I guess the point of these is to update more than once every two months. Here are some more sketches. Some random medieval girl with a dog, Alice with the bottle that is not, in fact, marked "poison", a spider and his fly, and a monk-fish.

Arms!

2010-04-05T13:13:00.000-07:00

I felt like charcoal the other day. If you look closely, you can see that her earrings are little spiders

January

2010-01-19T14:16:00.000-08:00

I can't believe January is almost over!

I played Solitaire obsessively one day, and this is what came of it.

Clay Heart

2009-11-28T09:07:00.000-08:00

This is my first attempt at clay! It was more fun than I thought it was going to be.

East of the Sun, West of the Moon

2009-10-30T21:26:00.000-07:00

This is definitely my favorite fairy tale.

Deer Girl

Quick watercolor sketch

Sketches

2009-10-16T20:39:00.000-07:00

From that little black sketchbook that I carry around with me all the time.

Stuffed Things

2009-10-02T23:08:00.000-07:00

Little stuffed animals and a toast.

Watercolor

2009-10-02T22:35:00.000-07:00

Illustration for the fairy tale Little Red Ridinghood. And yes, that is a cap she's wearing, because in some version she has a cap instead of a hood. This one was influenced by the wonderful turn of the century watercolor artists Arthur Rackham and Kay Nielsen.

Art Upload

2009-10-02T22:25:00.000-07:00

I'm just uploading a bunch of stuff on different posts because it makes me feel more organized...
I think this took about eight hours or so to color.

Five tests...

2009-09-30T20:37:00.000-07:00

I have five tests for school tomorrow...
Here's a watercolor/ink picture I did for a friend.

Nesting Dolls

2009-09-28T15:07:00.000-07:00

I always thought that Nesting Dolls looked hungry.

Hello there..

2009-09-26T15:51:00.000-07:00

Just thought I'd get one of these. Maybe I'll keep up with it better than I keep up with my deviantart account.

So here's some art to start this thing off.

I love this band. Check out their website
