Figure Drawing

   Last night I went to a figure drawing session and it was so nice to be back doing it! (I didn't have to be dragged in kicking and screaming...how times have changed!) It was really relaxing after a day at work to just be drawing with people who enjoyed art as well, and I'm definitely going to go back. Here are a few of the  drawings I did.

Mother's Day

  Yesterday was Mother's Day! I hope everyone treated their mama's like ladies. I was very pleased with my wrapping job for my mom's present:

For one of her presents, I drew from a picture of me, my sister, and my mom from back in the day-

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mama's out there!

Cinco de Mayo!!

  Today is the best day of the year. It's Cinco de Mayo! And if I ever needed more reason to have Mexican food, today is the day to do it. Margaritas! Chips and salsa! Quesadillas! Burritos! Ok, ok, you get the point. Avocado man is back again, so remember what your avocados had to go through today for your bottomless chips and guac basket.

Happy Earth Day!

  It's Earth Day! We have to take of this place because it's great. And yes, Earth has hands...

she's just like us!

Commissioned Paintings

   I was asked by a friend to do 2 paintings for her and the assignment was ANYTHING I WANTED TO DO! The absolute dream, but it was actually really a challenge for me. But I'm really happy with how they turned out and I can see myself doing more work in this style.

Illustrator Problems

      The struggle is real when you step on your very nice, 24 inch ruler. To be positive, now I have 2 rulers? Quit your complaining, BACK TO WORK!

Spring Please Spring

   Winter cold has decided to return to NJ, but I'm keeping a positive attitude in hope that Spring will come back and bring happiness throughout the land.
