Had a lil free time – did a lil more painting. I’m having fun experimenting with some new ideas with this one.

Seattle Plague, round TWO!
The not-so-fun part about moving to a new city is the exposure to all the new strains of colds. I’m sick. AGAIN. Jim’s finally on the up after having been sick for the past week himself. On the plus side, this illness has the good fortune of not overlapping my birthday, Christmas, or a major […]
Peanut
I made a custom brush and spent about an hour and a half painting Peanut, my plush Mantyke. 🙂 He was a ton of fun, and I tried to incorporate techniques I’ve seen artists at my new job using, like blending in additional colors (like the green in the grey and the purple in the […]
All Good Things – WIP 01
Just started this one today. The characters are Arica and Vince, original characters who really only exist to give me something fun to paint when I want to make an original piece. 🙂 I’m very pleased with how good Vince looks already!

It’s become a way to gauge my progress, and I look forward to it every year. 🙂 This one […]

Ast 2009 Wip 05
I had a few hours to work on it today, yay! A new project at work is spilling over into weekends, but it’s for a really exciting project and I’m happy to put in extra effort to help make sure it’s awesome. It’ll be worth it, I hope. 🙂
Claw game success!
Jim and I went rollerskating two nights ago and this little fella caught my eye in the arcade. He was inside one of those claw machine games. I’ve had some luck at those games in the past, so I thought I’d try to retrieve him. I also thought of a nice coworker at my new […]
