doodle-a-day

HI!

pink

Mira and I went to the zoo 

and I tried to take a bunch 

of pictures of animals - 

and then my camera died

so now I am going to draw as many as I can

Here is the first guy...

three birds

one

two

three

a bike

I saw this towny bike parked outside work one day.

I love it in yellow orange and green!

ugly bug ball

I realized I never shared this...

a while ago (something like 2 years now) 

I did this little book based on 

the silly kids song "Ugly Bug Ball"

it is all digital artwork

and all rights of the song belong to Disney, 

i just made the drawings :)

I tried to only use CMYK 

(the solid printing process colors- Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black) 

but the song mentioned a 

"queen in yellow, black and green" 

which I took to mean a queen bee... :) 

and she got green shoes.

Every good queen knows that the shoes match the crown...

and after the caterpiller met his queen more color arrived.

I think this could be more clear in the art, 

but I haven't had the chance to update it.

Need to add color 

and I would love to add my paper texture 

to this to make it more rich... 

someday... 

anyway, my first children's book illustration! 

on my own :) 

  

cigars?

a good friend is working on some cigar stories 

and I created some illustrations for him.

more to come...

Walrus

a quick doodle in reaction to a friends article. 

I don't know as though it is great, 

but it is 

so I am sharing it.

almost looks like the gulf is going to eat him...

poor guy

long legged cat and her friend dog

sometimes the inspiration comes from old friends
gone
but not forgotten

Frog

Frog from the archives of my sketchbook - a doodle became a drawing today.

Pages

Published

I am in print!!!

In the June 2010 issue of Denver Magazine...

I am so excited.

Check it out at your local news stand!

Here are the illustrations outside of the content...

Story title is the State of Education:

 this was the opening image - 

she is drawing the headline in the printed version
and it is an all green background

a little spot illustration for the part about science and technology...

a spot image for a section about graduation

these last three are little spot illustrations on little articles on the last page

this one was about boys vs girls

Hope this is just the beginning?

A car...

A good friend gave me a little illustration job.

This is what I created for her.

Vespa

we saw a green scooter today
and my good friend had her camera phone.

I decided I needed to make it in my green swirly paper.

maybe one day I can ride one made of metal 

meanwhile the digital one makes me smile.

peacock

Mira draws, scribbles 

and then declairs it is a peacock.

I dont' know if she knows 

what a peacock looks like, 

but I doodled one today....

just for her.

educational

striped cat

a quick squiggle today... 

getting my feet wet to start out the week

IF: Adrift

This ship is adrift? well, maybe in a gale force wind?

wonder woman chair

a friend posted a comment on a chair painting of mine 

that I am a shy artist. 

so very true. 

all art seems so personal and it is hard to put it out there to be judged

I struggle with being good enough in so many aspects of my life.

 Art is no different

i call this wonder woman chair...

maybe I will turn into an artist one day... 

IF: Muddy

my muddy little guy... 

a quick doodle not very original, but muddy none the less

Ugly Bird's Insanity

an ugly bird is contemplating belly button lint

silly bird, you don't have a belly button...

a doodle tonight and my first submission to monday artday...
