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!
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.
Valentine's Animal Postcards
Happy early Valentine's day! I made some cute animal postcards that you can print out and share with your sweetheart and friends.
There are 4 postcards per page, each featuring a pair of cute animals - bashful piggies, love-struck bunnies, cuddling cats and lovey ducks.
I decided to go with some bright springtime colours for these cards - who says Valentine's cards always have to be pink and red? I really hope you enjoy these. :)
Some suggestions for cheesy sayings to write on the back:
Pigs:
Won't you be my Valenswine?
Bunnies:
Lettuce never be apart!
Cats:
You make my whiskers curl.
Ducks:
I'm quackers over you!
P.s. If you love these cards, share the love by donating a few dollars to help out some real-life cute animals!
Hearts on Noses Mini Pig Sanctuary in Maple Ridge, BC has been caring for abandoned and neglected pot-bellied pigs and other animals since 2002. Each pig at the sancutary gets to live with a friend in a little house with a fenced yard.
We love to go out and visit the pigs and bring them snacks (peanut butter sandwiches, strawberries and popcorn) and give them lots of back scratches. There are few things cuter in life than seeing little pigs line up for back scratches.
