Another day in a hectic life!

I know it has been a while and I apologize. No excuses, just life in general. I have a few sculpts in the works and am starting on an illustration series. When I say starting, I mean just today! LOL My eldest son just finished kindergarten...eeeeek! My middle son is who I call "The Instigator" and my youngest is just blossoming into a big boy right before our eyes. All in all they are a great time but it seems like I blink and the time has gone by!

I thought that I would post a custom work I did for one of my best friends. This is her daughter Katie, who...let's face it, is one of the cutest girls on the planet! I couldn't help but draw her and I'm not too thrilled how it turned out so I think at some point I will be drawing her again but for the moment this is what I have. My friend says she is happy with it and that means a lot to me seeing as I think she would be the type to tell me if she thought it was crap! LOL

I am my worst critic but I also KNOW when I can do better.

OK...TTFN! More soon. :o)

My new illustration

Here is the latest finished illustration.

I am working on some sculptures and hope to post something 3D next but they take much longer to complete. I am also getting prints done. amazing how much time I don't have!! ;o)

New girl

I used to want my ears pierced so badly that I would hang things from my ears to make them like earrings. I finally bugged my mother so much she gave in. :o) Eventually, I had many holes in my ears.

Friends in high places

Here is the latest illustration. I am getting frustrated lately...mostly I find it good that my finished piece doesn't look like how I pictured in my head but this monster bummed me out a bit. He was so much cooler in my head. Oh well, what can you do but move onto the next and hope that it turns out better. I used to have the mentality of not finishing things that weren't "perfect"...yeah, I'm over that now. LOL

So here he is:

New illustration

I FINALLY finished this bath illustration. I thought it would never happen. I started one and then I clumsily knocked it off the desk and when I went to pick it up it was bent in half! I had to start it over again. Then I don't know how but someone spilled some coffee on it! Yeah okay...that was me too. LOL So I had to start a third one! This is the end result and I tell you if anything happened to it again I was going to scrap the whole things as cursed!

I feel almost completely back to my old self, just the dregs of a cold. I tell you, we have been hammered with illness these past two months. I am hoping that is the end so I can truly get back to my work!
