Why of course I didn’t take the sketch I never finished for the “Slither” theme, add some quick paisleys to the background, and try to pass it off as the Paisley theme this week! How could you even think such a thing!?

I did this little sketch the other evening while The Boy was in Kung Fu class. I liked it, so I inked it up last night. Kinda cute, huh? Somewhat inspired by The Far Side, and somewhat by the accidental results of my brother’s mouse-based science fair project, back in the day….

Over at The Decorated Cookie, there’s a great tutorial for decorating your marshmallows for your summer picnics. What a fun idea! She even goes step by step on how to do the featured drawings!
It’s been a while since I added to my how to draw on food series. And to my marshmallow collection. So here is something to cover both: marshmallows for your summer barbecue. These are incredibly easy to make and take mere minutes. You can put them on lollipop sticks and display them in a glass jar on your picnic table for a treat (assuming marshmallows won’t melt…

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…

One of the fun activities that we’ve been doing, to try to get our little video game fiend (yah, he’s a born geek) out of the house is taking a ‘photo safari’–sometimes we call it a ‘photography field trip’… The 4 year old gets possession of mommy’s point and shoot camera, and we go for a walk–sometimes through the woods, sometimes through the neighborhood. I’m actually pretty amazed at some of his shots (many are pure luck, like achieving the rule of thirds because he wiggled his hands accidentally!) but I do find it fun to look at the world…

Here’s a new logo design I am working on… It’s for a wellness company (yoga, acupuncture, nutrition, etc) and based on a symbol for abundance that the client liked – It’s meant to evoke a sunrise. (I’m still tweaking the design a bit, too–a few things that I’m not happy with yet!) Which do you like best?

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!

I literally squealed when I saw this at Superpunch this morning…
Noah Dziobecki created a dead on Star Wars-themed version of Goodnight Moon, called Goodnight Forest Moon. You can download the book here.
The Boy loved Goodnight Moon when he was little, and now he’s completely into Star Wars in all it’s forms. So this is totally cool. You can download a pdf of the book, and he gives very detailed instructions on how to print and make your own version.
