Another fruit couple

I made another fruit couple. This time it's Carrot and Peach. Peach is the hottie of the bunch so she has lipstick on. Carrot's a lucky guy.

I feel good now

I feel very inspired lately. I bought a sketchbook a couple weeks ago and it's been like nonstop drawing. I haven't drawn in a sketchbook just for fun in the longest time so this is so great for me, just exploring new styles and techniques.

It's also been a really long time since I did some personal work... like months. Like, ever since I started my job. Drawing all day long, staring at a computer screen for 9-10 hours, you don't really want to go home and draw some more. But I'm getting back in my groove finally. I just churned out a couple things that I'm really proud of.

This pattern is going to be printed on some fabric. I already have a ton of ideas of what I'm going to do with it. Tote bags, kitchen towels, bibs...

This last one is a collaboration I did with a friend. It was shown at a local gallery's art show back in the fall/winter. The theme was cupcakes so we thought, cupcakes are generally thought of as cute. We took one of the least "cute" things we could think of and then juxtaposed it with these adorable little cupcakes. So this is what we came up with. It was a pretty big hit at the show.

I have lots more stuff that I'm working on and I hope I'll remember to post them here since I tend to forget about this blog lol.

My August

The studio paid for a coffee truck to come by so we got free coffee, tea and other drinks! A beautiful husky we bumped into downtown. Cute design at Yogurtland. Art battle winner! Bunny buns ready for the oven. The evil spider. Little baby Mason. The kitchen counter at work. Korean BBQ. My vegan dinner. Only here would you see that sign. Paralyzed cat in a diaper. Link and me downtown.

Overall, a really great August. We'll see what September has in store for me! :)

Let me tell you about...

It was a regular morning and we were leaving to go to work. As we walked out the door, I noticed a HUGE, black and yellow, most evil looking spider had made her web right beside it. It was a good location for her, since the lamp next to the door attracted a lot of moths and other bugs. It was NOT such a great location for us, since we needed to skirt around her and her massive web if we wanted to get in or out of our place. She was very large and very evil and scary looking. But little did we know what we were in for the next morning...

Finally she's done!

This took me a much longer time to finalize than Albert did but it was worth it. Here is the final version of his little daughter. She's so cute! I'm really in love with how she turned out. I'll be doing a turnaround next.

She doesn't have a name in the story because she isn't mentioned except for in one small part, but I think I want to give her a name. I love her so much I'm sorta entertaining the idea of incorporating her into something else unrelated to the app, like stationery or something. We'll see. I have a lot on my plate right now.


Oh and alsooo,

I GOT A JOB OFFER. I'M MOVING OUT MID/LATE AUGUST. SEE YA, MIAMI!

A few more sketches

Some Photoshop sketches of Albert's little daughter. Sketching in Photoshop is soo easy (hi undo button and copy/paste) but it's really not the same as pencil and paper. Speaking of which, I should probably get myself a new sketchbook.

Fattest weekend ever

This was my weekend of obesity and diabetes. Yesterday I had grilled steak and vegetables for lunch and then saw Harry Potter and had Korean BBQ. So double that steak PLUS pork. Today we went to Jaxsons, aka the best ice cream parlor in all of South Florida, ordered hot dogs and a giant, delicious banana split. I only had half of my hot dog... the one with the neon green relish (that I promptly removed from my hot dog after noticing its color). And we got pistachio, death by chocolate, and butter almond with our banana split. OH man the butter almond and death by chocolate ice cream was so delicious. Now that I look back on it, it's almost too much for me to handle... I'm definitely working out EVERY single day and eating really healthy for this next week. Oh man.
