Kanji Cat
A late night doodle.. trying my new watercolour brushes. Does this pumpkin orange kitty mean Autumn is on the way? Hmm..
P.s. Thanks for all your votes in the Connecting Threads contest. My Roselyn design has 132 votes - far more than I expected. You guys are awesome!
Rainbow Sauce
I love spaghetti sauce. Onion, tomato, zucchini, carrot and (of course) garlic. So I drew it. I like how the colours run together the same way the flavours do.
Just a few random updates...
My hubby and I have been very domestic lately. We haven't done much to our new house since we moved in, so it's about time.
So, I hung some art in the bedroom last week. Since summer is here we bought a grill for the patio, and some cozy chairs for the living room will be here in a few weeks. One wall of the livingroom will be covered with bookcases (for his 700+ book collection).
I'm working on some custom fabric designs - unfortunately I can't show you anything yet, but I will when they are done!
Annaliese received her fabric from the Spring Cleaning giveaway - check out her blog post here: http://thepewteracorn.blogspot.com/2011/06/i-got-mail.html
Champ
Champ - Pencil - April 2011
My husband and I have been thinking about getting a dog, so naturally I have been drawing a lot of dogs lately.
This is Champ. I can't decide if I like the ears pointing in or out. He makes me smile!
I should be able to ship the giveaway fabric this weekend. Unfortunately, I still haven't heard from a few of the winners!

Pears
When I bought them this morning they were completely green, now after only a few hours they are yellow and fragrant.
Life is short!
Smoke and Mirrors
Smoke and Mirrors - Digital oil and ink - January 2011
New painting I just did tonight. It took about 3 hours. The shapes are inspired by vintage Japanese kimono patterns.
Project: The Myth of Vanity Sizing
A new blog header, just completed this weekend for Kathleen Fasanella, the author of The Entrepreneur's Guide to Sewn Product Manufacturing and the Fashion Incubator blog (both highly recommended for anyone interested in apparel manufacturing).
Kathleen just started a new blog about vanity sizing, a topic that has gained a lot of attention (and controversy!) from fashion-savvy consumers and media over the last few years.
Working from the concept of myth vs. reality, I created simple line drawings of clothes in black ink, representing reality; then mirrored the image on the right side in white to represent myth. A measuring tape, representing data, separates the two sides.
I used a "techy" grayish-blue for the background and punches of schoolbus yellow for highlights. The yellow is done in semi-transparent digital oil brush, so it blends with the blue background really nicely.
I love how it turned out! Go see it in action over at The Myth of Vanity Sizing.
Vasilisa the Fearless
Vasilisa the Fearless - Digital ink and watercolor - January 2011
Vasilisa is a character from Russian fairy tales. In one of the stories, her dying mother gives her a magic doll which helps her survive a number of difficult situations.
This is my version of Vasilisa, with her doll and the skull she receives from the witch Baba Yaga. Her fearless attitude definitely inspired me.
