Busy but here's a fishy.

Today at church Enos and I taught our sunbeams, "i am thankful for fish." Here's the fish i made especially for this lesson. The children got to make cutouts and go fishing... the funnest lesson by far to teach.

Tolands they are....

This is a picture i did for Stephanie and Eric Toland. She wanted something really stylized and i really think i captured them :) This is the best kind of drawing for me to do.. It's a blast!

Unintentional Late Night Dad Doodle

Say THAT five times fast... it's actually not that hard.. just fun. Anywho.. i'm up right now so i figured i'd post this doodle i did 2 seconds ago. i realized once i finished it that it looks just like my dad. so... there you go. Love you dad!!!

Doodle whilest thinking on my future.

Velda actually quite enjoyed being hasseled by the Wesley Brothers

Tom Sawyer wasn't as cool as they tell you in school

Something new to look at until i get back from St. George

Okay.. so i haven't really finished anything in the last couple of days but i didn't want to get yelled at by my sister Jessica so here i am posting things i made for my house and church.

Badges i made for my sunday school kids (3-4 yr olds).

My Favorite Things

So my good childhood Molly has a great blog where she gives away really cool stuff every once in a while... Well, for the next TWO weeks she will give something away free EVERYDAY!!.. so go check it out... it's SOOO worth it....just click on the picture below.

Linguini anyone?

So... here's my tribute to Ratatouille. It's my favorite Pixar movie and so i'm paying homage to a character who i LOVE, Linguini. A lot of people found him annoying (enos) but i found his charm to be like that of the crushes I had in middle school on weird nerdy boys... which seems fitting since this drawing started as a doodle while talking on the phone like that of a 13 year old girl. I guess you could say he's my cartoon crush.

ps... if you STILL haven't seen this movie... wow. you're lame.

Owl for a day.

Update of the children

Here's the new version i did. the older girl was a bit off but i couldn't tell until the client gave me some more pictures... Sometimes it takes a couple of goes to make it right. :) I think she turned out a lot better. I also added a couple of extras to give it a more finished feel.

Portrait of Children

A client of mine had me make this for her friend who tragically lost her children in a car wreck after getting hit by a semi. This story really touched my heart and i couldn't turn down doing a portrait even though i'd never done one in color before. This is such a sad story. But thankfully the woman has been blessed with triplets and is due in a few months i believe. I'm glad i could do this for her.

Harold the monster.

Forgotten plane sketches..

I did these at the airport while we were in Colorado waiting to go to VA. i had forgotten to post them.. Also i had just gotten done watching one of my favorite movies Meet the Robinsons... that redhead kid is inspired by Goob.

Brian helps Kitty with his big day.

I almost like the black and white one better.. it feels like a fifties educational cartoon.

One last glance before competition...

I was just thinking about body builders... women body builders in particular... Every time i see them on tv i can't help but watch with my mouth ajar at the sheer manliness of their bodies... it's like watching a car wreck happen... you have to watch. They really freak me out. It's like someone took a ken doll and put barbies head on... okay maybe not barbie.. she's too pretty... let's say skipper...or maybe a brat's doll head.

Crazy monsters

Sad Skeleton Baby

I know i know... let me guess..."you're bored"

These are some sketches i did on the plane and at the airport when i wasn't narcoleptic-ly tired. One of them is something i drew at church last sunday... can you guess which one? HA.

a Lovely Couple

This is a caricature of a couple i did freelance for.

Trying new things...

This is a picture i've created from two photos i found in the anthropology catalog that i LOVED.. i'm trying something new with my art. Just trying to expand my boundaries.
