Space Aliens

For this week's IF topic, which is Space, I have decided to post a sketchbook piece that I did last year. I knew I had something in my art pile that had space aliens in it! Enjoy. :-)

Medium is pen & ink/acrylics.

IF~Kernel

For Kernel I chose to do an illustration of a Victorian lady in a dress inspired by a pistachio. I wanted to do something different instead of a more literal take on the word. Hope you like it. :-)

Redneck Bride & Groom

I have this new idea for an illustration for a possible wedding card. I want it to be a redneck/hillbilly couple with rustic elements in/around the piece. I have a few thumbnails here of the bride (going with the center option) and some ideas with them in front of their first home. Working out the appearance of the groom, he's more of a challenge...

Changing my blog name

I'm thinking of some ideas to give my blog a new name. I have decided that I don't want to use my full name in my blog anymore but rather give it a fun title instead...possibly something that would be a good match for the type of work I do. Over the next few weeks I plan to post some design ideas for names/logos for my blog. If you have any ideas I would love to hear them! I am open to suggestions. :-)

Also, during the summer I will be working on some new illustration pieces, so new work coming soon. :-)

Polar Bears

Even though it's spring and winter is over, I did a couple of sketches yesterday of some polar bears. Mom with a cub and Dad with a cub. :-)

IF~Capable

This kid is capable of lifting those weights!

My design work being sold at Von Maur and AI Friedman!

I found out tonight that Von Maur is carrying a cookie jar that I designed for Grasslands Road. I think this piece came out really great and I can't wait to see it in person! I took a sceen shot of my page!Here's the link: http://www.vonmaur.com/Product.aspx?ID=81248

I also designed cereal bowls for Grasslands Road! These came from AI Friedman. :-)

I'm looking forward to seeing my pieces in other stores too! More stuff coming out soon! :-)
