New Art

It's been a while and I wanted to blog about some of the artwork I've been doing lately. I learned about LiveTrace in Illustrator from a friend of mine and have been going a little nuts with it lately. How come I never learned about this amazing tool in college?! I'm better at drawing by hand than on the computer, but I love the freedom that the computer gives me when it comes to changing size and color...Enter LiveTrace - the perfect way to combine the joy I get out of drawing by hand and the ease of editing work on the computer! I'm trying to get Shoebox Greetings to hire me as a freelance artist so I sent them four card samples for them to look over. I hope they like them! If not, I might have to print out a few copies and stick them in the card aisle at my local pharmacy!

March 27th: Sweet Thang

I'm currently on a road trip, living in an RV. Living on the road is great fun, but eating healthy can be challenging. I try to eat healthfully as often as I can, but everyone likes a sweet treat now and again. Thank goodness for cotton candy in Tupperware. My friends traveling with me and I are making it a point to acknowledge the genius of cotton candy in to-go form by eating it often. For some reason cotton candy in Tupperware just insn't as friendly as cotton candy on a stick to me, but then again, cotton candy on a stick can be a bit off-putting if not approached properly (anyone who has challenged themselves to remain clean while eating a freshly twirled cotton candy can vouch for this). Thus, the inspiration for my doodle today.

February 3rd: Getting Glassy


Here's an old wine glass that I rescued from the recycling bin and painted.
