website updated

so it's been awhile...

but I have been busy. I am almost finished with my website and have not had much chance to get around to posting drawings these days... but never fear.. I will be back to posting some good ole fashioned hand-drawn, scanned-in stuff soon enough...

as I have been dusting off a lot of things around here and discovering some things that I had completely forgotten about, I realize that there are many more things I would like to accomplish with my drawings... don't know exactly what direction I want to go yet, but I am happy to see new inspiration in everyday things and in other very talented artists online... today I came acrost Peter Hoffman's site and really like how the media he uses adds texture to his illustrations and how it gives his work a different feeling than just a pencil sketch. [ Glashaus <-- his website ] below are a few more drawings I discovered while doing some more organizing on my computer today...

More RS illustration work..

Another illustration created for RS - promotional materials for the creative team. Hand drawn then painted in Photoshop. :D

Whew... welcome 2009! :)

Happy New Year :)

It is nice to be back again... The above is another caricature of one of my coworkers :) That was such a fun project... I am somewhat tempted to do a few more [already have some people in mind ;)]

Looking forward to really getting things started here, and seeing where things go. It is an exciting thing to be given a fresh start - looking at your dreams once again and having a clean slate to pursue them :)

Hope you all are staying warm!

Caricatures...

I came across some caricatures that I had done of some of my coworkers :P The above are my favorites... I used vellum finish bristol board and graphite to do the drawings, then scanned and digitally painted them in Photoshop

Artwork from work..

One good thing about being let go is that I had to clean out my desk.. I came across a bunch of artwork that I had forgotten about :)

One of my faves - and one just in time for the season, is the Santa I drew for the company Christmas card. Done entirely digitally [Photoshop + tablet]. At the end I started to run out of time, so the 'gifts' coming out of the bag were images that I added filters to. The rest, bag included was all created from scratch while looking at different references.

Ironic...

It is weird how things happen sometimes... I do admit that God's timing is impeccable.. I was let go last Friday and find it odd that I started this blog just the night before.

Weird.

But I am excited. Excited to be starting fresh... excited about new possibilities... even the unknown... and I guess it means I'll be updating a lot more :D

Christmas is in 10 days and I am an old married woman in 19... it is a great time for new...

Look for new posts soon!
