Welcome to the Peeps Nation

This is Peeps Nation, my latest photo project:

A different sort of project…

Easter is right around the corner and I feel the need to do a fun Easter project.   It will be a  photo project…using..Peeps. Peeps come in so many colors…oh it will be awesome.  I’m in the process of getting my ticket to Japan. I can’t wait to get there. I know it will be hard, but I am looking forward to the challenge.

So, stay tuned for my Easter Peeps photo set.

Confession…

Since my last post, I have been very fatigued and not feeling very well…thus I have not done anymore ATC’s nor have I finished my Valentine’s project. I feel unaccomplished because of this but what can I do. Starting March 1st I will stop producing art as I need to back up my studio.

On April 19th, I will be flying to Japan. I will be living there for at least a year. In my heart, I want to stay longer. I did do a couple of Valentine’s Day photos.
Enjoy!

Some more Year of the Rat ATC

I have just about finished my space themed year of the Rat ATC (artist trading card). I noticed I didn’t line the planet in the upper left corner. Other than that, it is done.

This next ATC I am having some issues with.

The main problem is deciding what colors to use. I want the star to appear iridescent like gem and rainbow will be the tail. I just know that the starry gem is going to take a while to do. I will have to build layers to get it how I want it. I am using gouche and acrylic on this ATC. The red and gold are working very well for me. The border will be gold leaf (using a gold leafing pen). I will definitely use those colors on the 3rd ATC I am working on!

News Flash: THE GIANTS WON SUPERBOWL 42!! WHOOHOO!!

Works in Progress…

So, I am working on 3 more Chinese New Year (Year of the Rat) art cards:

The first one I am working on I am trying to go for a space and time theme. I am using watercolor pencils and ink.

This is very much still progress…

A Banner…

I made a custom banner for my Vox blog. I will be making a banner for this blog in the next few days.

The design is one I came up with several years ago. The character, Mystic Mime,  was suppose to be for my main website, but I  decided to go in a different direction. I am happy I held on to that sketch, because it came in handy.

All for Love

I normally get depressed around Valentine’s Day. But I have found focus in doing these illustration inspired by Valentine’s Day. It is still early. Who knows how I will feel come February 12th or 13th
I think I have done all I can for the following illustration titled “Love Letter 1.”

The Soaring Heart

Four down, ten to go….

Year of the Rat ACEO

Ah, I almost forgot my Year of the Rat ACEO

Where does the time go???

I was able to get some art done today.
I started my 3rd Valentine’s Day collage/painting:

It still needs some work. I think it may need more tissue paper. Also, my woman’s face needs work. She just needs work in general.

Here is my Sunset ACEO.

I’m going to try a few more like this one.

The Year of the Rat

Here are two ACEOs I made in honor of 2008, the year of the Rat!

This one is watercolor and glitter.

For this one I used markers and glitter.
