Illustration Friday... Ferocious

Sorry I missed last week, but I was away from my art supplies all week. This week is just a quick digital drawing of a funny ferocious pomeranian. I did this with an app on the HBO website for true blood.

And his ferocious owners...

Weekend Birthday Card Bonanza!

So May is a busy time in our family and extended family... besides Mothers Day there is a plethora of Birthdays and other occasions. Since my creative juices have been flowing I have gotten many comments about how everyone looks forward to my handmade cards! So here are 2 I did this weekend.

1. A tribute to my golden retrievers Colby and Angus... for Mom's Birthday

Done with Sky Blue and Black Sharpies and a wash of Royal Blue Goache.

Colby (LaLoo)

Angus (The Goose)

2. An Educational card for Sam's nephew (and also talented artist) Aaron.

Done with a few Shaeffer Calligraphy pens and inks... I had no card stock so it is mounted on a file folder I airbrushed and stippled a bit.

Sam wants a graphic novel about a Super Pomeranian.

I told him a pomeranian doing horrible violent things although funny is not believable... and he said... and Watchmen was?

Oh Sh*t it is almost X-mas

So in the hustle and bustle of the season... I'm just talking work and everyday life here... I have kind of overlooked the important fact that Christmas is in just 15 days. Now to some of you that is still plenty of time but for me this instills a little panic as I have vowed this year to not do my ussual Christmas Eve mad sprint through closing stores to grab whatever I can find.
Granted the nice thing is we are a small group, just Mom, Dad, Nana, Papa, Sam and the dogs to buy for. Yes I said dogs.... in our family they are just people with a glandular disorder.
I think I know what I'm getting for everyone but Sam... wait no, I have to do the usual and get him something with a Ferrari on it, and his usual socks and undies (must be Calvin Klein).
As for the golden's and the little dude (pomeranian) it must be something edible, as well as wrapped so they can shred the paper into a million pieces.
So for all of you who have done your shopping and have everything wrapped and sitting under the tree.... I say look who is all organized and high and mighty! Now I have to go fight my way through rude X-mas shoppers to find some tighty whiteys.
