New Art! Ballooning Bot

So, I tried to shoehorn in my drawing of Phineas and Ferb meet The Clone Wars for the Early theme on IF last week, but (although the piece came out AWESOME–the Boy loves it!) it was kinda a cheat. So here’s another take.

Oh! Foodwhirl giveaway ends today! Go enter quick!

Here is the ballooning robot in the early morning light.  I imagine he got up early, and just headed out on an adventure.  Not quite sure where the winds will take him, as his craft has very little ability to steer. (Maybe he’ll see the Ship of Gnomes!)

Cute huh?  Well, I think…

New necklaces (with Dot’s art!)

I’ve been working on a way to sell some of my artwork, in a way that is both affordable, and more ‘useful’ than just a picture you hang on your wall. So this is a couple of prototypes of my latest idea! (Excuse the pics, these aren’t the highest quality!)

I’ve been playing around with glass tile necklaces, with either prints from my artwork, or original drawings, as fun and wearable art.
Here are the 2 prototypes–based on the watercolor series (“Robot World“) which is currently in the Museum of Science in Boston. One is the robot from “A Clockwork Red” and…

A couple of robot sketches for Subterranean

The prompt on Illustration Friday this week is Subterranean…I’ll probably do another pic for IF this week, but I thought this was cool.. Which do you like better?

I was playing around with a fun little online drawing tool called Harmony that I found via Drawn.ca.

So I sketched part of the idea I had for illustration friday this week!  I really like the sparse feel to this… and it was fun   I’ll probably do another IF for Subterranean, but if not, here are these two!

Speaking of robots.. check out my news from yesterday about my robot cake being featured on MSNBC…

My Tarot Card for the Super Punch 3 year Anniversary

And it’s perfect for today’s Illustration Friday: Brave.  Doesn’t this king look Brave and True?  You know he had to be a robot.

About the project at Super Punch:

So, about this project. I wanted to do something special for the third anniversary of Super Punch, and three weeks or so ago, the idea popped into my head of inviting my favorite artists to create tarot cards.

See all the fabulous cards thus far at Super Punch.  There are some incredibly cool ones, from some very cool artists, and I’m honored to be part of the group!

An Unbalanced Robot

I was playing around last night, and came up with this guy. I think he’d make a cute t-shirt!
(I like this style, it reminds me of the Tracer Bullet strips from Calvin and Hobbes!)

An Illustration Friday Robot- on an actual friday, no less!

I dug out the paints and canvas for the first time in ages… what do you think? I’m thinking of a series of these for the new shop (which yes, I know, is so behind schedule).

So, the theme for IF this week is Modify, and I’m not sure exactly how this big bot is modifying the little bot, but I’m sure it will turn out well…
It looks a little more washed out here since it’s a scan of the art, but I’m quite happy with it.

Illustration “Friday” – Shaky

Old Mr. Buttons is a little bit shaky at times, but he’s always got a kind word and some candy.

Not my favorite coloring job, but I love the design of the old robot.
