Illustration Friday: Launch (Rooster Sketch)

By Dot | Published June 17, 2011

And I’m back from my art hiatus with an Illustration Friday!!

Really, I have been so busy with web design stuff, that I haven’t taken the time to draw, and that’s just sad. So I’ve had this robotic rooster in my head (he’s eventually going to be a big piece) and here’s my first attempt at a sketch of him. Doesn’t it look like he’s just launched a football into the air?

I really like this sketch so much I don’t want to mess it up by adding more… but alas I need to… Read on…

Sketchbook Tuesday

By Dot | Published June 22, 2010

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….

New Art! Ballooning Bot

By Dot | Published May 24, 2010

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… Read on…

My Tarot Card for the Super Punch 3 year Anniversary

By Dot | Published March 5, 2010

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… Read on…

IF: Propagate – Robot Matryoshka Dolls

By Dot | Published February 25, 2010

Illustration Friday prompt this week was Propagate… I’m not really sure HOW these dolls propagate, but I’m sure it’s interesting :)

This seemed to be begging for a caption, this was the one I came up with… any better ideas?

I’ll Sail this Ship of Gnomes.

By Dot | Published February 17, 2010

For my Illustration (not quite) Friday, this is my take on ‘adrift’..

I’ve always loved The Beautiful South (and the Housemartins before), but when we hear I’ll Sail this Ship Alone, my sweetie and I like to say “Sail this Ship of Gnomes”.. not quite sure how it started, but that’s why we have a lovely little sketch of a ship of gnomes for your perusal today.

Art Class – The process for IF “Focused”

By Dot | Published January 31, 2010

I’ve been such a slacker on drawing lately, sorry… I’ve been working on Foodwhirl (Go check it out..)!

For Illustration Friday today (yeah, I know it’s actually Sunday), I decided to work on a logo design for a friend’s organic food business. She’s a very focused person, and I thought this illo had a very focused look to it! Here’s the design, and also, the steps I did to come up with it! (They are similar to the process I used for the black & whites recently.)

Finished prototype:

So, wanna follow along with the process? … Read on…
