My Portfolio

These range from rough to completely finished but all show examples of styles i draw.

Hold me closer tiny apple...

Sooo... since i'm learning to paint... i thought i'd post my learnings on here... This is all experimentation but i think it's worth documenting... don't cha think? anywho... here is my first still life since high school... it's not as bad as i thought it would be... next step... painting PEOPLE!!! ohhhh...scaryyyy.

santa's sleigh ride...

This is the beginning of a big picture i wanna draw of santa being pulled by his reindeer. I'm gonna start putting my name on everything so it can't be used illegally... aren't i fancy!! ha. This is another experiment in painting... (better than the cow i hope...stupid cow.)

In Remembrance...

After the whole Pushing Daisies incident i don't feel bitter at all.. i still like the show and watch it every wednesday...I do long for it though now and then. I'm glad we could stay friends after our breakup though... that's important. ;)

This girl i met

Okay.. so i met a in law of one of my future in laws and she was too cute for words!... so what do i do when i can't compete? I draw!!! I think i did a pretty good job of her.

My new logo?

I've been working on a simple logo for my freelance business and i just wanted to get people's opinions on what they think about this one...how does it make you feel? Would you trust this penguin with your life or does he look too suspicious? Does his chubby make him seem lazy? ha...no seriously.

Wintery Birthday

Here's a card i did for a friend's son's birthday.

Bored at work...

I haven't had a whole lot to do at work so i've been drawing nonstop. Here are some of the fruits of my labors.

The end.

Penguin Stands Alone???

I've had a few people ask me where i came up with Penguin Stands Alone... This is the sad truth of how it came it be....I've always loved penguins and then i "found out" that penguins are mates for life...(i know this isn't so...i'll get to that)...So i started calling my boyfriend, Penguin. We were "penguins" until we broke up...then i couldn't bare the thought of penguins because it had a sad connotation and i later found out they AREN'T mates for life and was sadly stricken with this information...Two years later i decided to start a blog....I still liked penguins but i didn't want the thought of the old boyfriend to come to mind every time i went to my blog..AND i was married to a new and WONDERFUL man...but i wanted this blog to be about my journey as a strong individual...Penguin Stands Alone came to mind and it just stuck....That's how i became Penguin Stands Alone. A little sad, a little happy.... all true.

Crappy Thanksgiving picture...

This is what i draw when i am bored and don't want to really try....I probably shouldn't be showing people this since i've started a business....HA. Oh well...i'll do it anyway...Happy Thanksgiving.

Not Much.

So many scribbles...

Nothing really special... just a post.

My Profile Picture

got sick of the old one..

My new header...

This is my final header...hope it makes everyone happy if not... too bad.. i like it. :)

My first professional blog header

Welp... here's the first REAL blog header i've done. Tara's was more of a spur of the moment decision to make it a blog header...which of course means... Tara, if you want something different after seeing this one... that's fine.. i'll fix it. I feel bad now since i feel like this one is 100 times better. Don't feel like i don't love you though...i mean hey... look at MYYYY header... it sucks!!! hahaha... without further ado....Molly's Blog Header....

My own list of junk

I've never done this but i guess there's not any real art to it.

1. I listened to Christmas music on the christmas station this morning on the way to work and nearly burst into tears. I'm not sure why. I think it's cuz i miss my family or because i've boycotted my anxiety medicine.
2. (jessica you'll like this one).. Joey Fatone might be visiting in a couple of months as a possible choice for a show we are trying to get funded at work. I don't like Nsync anymore but it makes me excited to think about. My boss is friends with him... or as i like to say... is boyfriend's with him. (he can't fire me for saying that can he?)
3. I'm at work by MYSELF today... it's depressing...(everyone decided to take the day off instead of taking the day after thanksgiving off...that's crazy isn't it? )
4. I've been working on an animation that i actually kinda like. Not so much because it's amazing(it's not) but because i like the little boy's personality i've made up in my head. I'll try to post it.
5. I'm feeling baby hungry right now... like this very moment i mean. Again... a result of the boycott?
6. Why do so many people grow up and get fat? I don't understand it. It's a little jarring to see someone you've known your whole life as a skinny stick and see them balloon to the size of the moon.
7. I had a bunch of percocet (11 to be exact) that i had because of an ear surgery but i've long since recovered from the pain but was still taking the percocet because it's too amazing. My friends at work had a seudo-intervention and made me flush them down the toilet. Too much temptation....Sorry Tara... it's not good to be so happy about taking a drug you don't need. God would be mad about it.
8. My nose has been clogged, runny or drainage-y for a solid 6 months now. I hate that. Doctors don't help.
9. Enos is such a good husband. He's quite the tender man. Always wants to cuddle and watch tv. It's one of our favorite things to do.
10. I'm gonna start doing Blog Titles on the side for extra money and because i've found that i absolutely love it. I'll charge 10 dollars an hour and since it takes about 10 hours to do, it'll be about $100. If you know anyone... send them my way. I'm building up a portfolio right now. (molly you're fine, obviously since we talked before i'd decided this.. don't worry.)
11. Thanks for checking my blogs.. it makes me feel loved.

GO AHEAD.....CHECK MY BLOG...A-holes.

There are a small CHOICE group of people at work who decided it'd be "funny" if they printed up a piece of morbid art that i did as a child and GIVE IT TO ME and then LAUGH and make jokes about how "this explains so much" and whatnot. Well... it wasn't funny and i was mad... so here's my way of getting back at them....Sorry Rob.. you didn't really do anything but i drew you too.

ps. sorry to those of you who don't get this joke...but this pretty much sums up everyone's personality...from left to right: Ammon, Rob, Matt, Myself

Hin Heinzen Family Blog

Well after much deliberation... i've split my blog into TWO different blogs... i know this makes it hard for people to WANT to check both but i can't keep sending people i don't know very well to my blog for ART if it's bogged down with comments and family pictures... so the new family blog with all my stories and family pictures will now be at www.hinheinzens.blogspot.com

The LIST

Most of you have NO idea how many things i have on my "To Do" list as art projects for everyone... here's a list. After this list is done i'm gonna have to take a break or i'll have a heart attack. okay...enjoy. These are in no specific order because i do them as i feel them. Sorry.

1. Molly's Blog header (thanks molly for letting me out of some projects!!)
2. Jessica's Lowe family picture
3. Amy's Aidan and Lauren picture
4. Mother's illustrated book of pictures for her seuss-ish poem
5. Enos' family portrait

i'm sure i've forgotten something.....But just so you know and won't ask me when things will be done... it may be a while. And don't feel guilty for asking... I enjoy doing art for people but the list has kinda gotten long and like i said.. i'll need a break after this.
