Sketchbook Tuesday

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

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…

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!

I’ll Sail this Ship of Gnomes.

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”

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?  You should never watch how they make the…

Elder Gods have a lot of time on their hands…

This design was inspired by a twitter conversation with my friend rit.  I had just showed off The Crafty Octopus to my twitter friends, and everyone liked it.  But rit’s comments just made me have to go make this image.  The conversation has been recorded below, for posterity’s sake.

Dot says:  http://twitpic.com/q3z6a – How do you like this one (crafty octopus)? I was thinking of using it for a Dabbled tshirt

Rit says: LOVE the octopus. I would tattoo that on my body if it was more cthulu-ey

Rit says:  I’m thinking more preparing to devour the world than do some crafting
