City Girl and a blog award

It's Tuesday and that means that I'm supposed to post Melwick. He's going to be up tomorrow. Sorry for the delay. To hold you over until then here is another illustration I just finished and wanted to share.

This image is also the newest update on my newly updated website. I'd love to hear what you think about it. (meaning the website, but you can tell me what you think of the image as well)

And, last week I received this:

 Which was super nice of PZ desigs to find my blog and award it to me. I am finally finding time to pass it on. But first I have to tell you all seven things about me. Here we go:

1. In the very near future you may see me dressed up like Tinkerbell at a birthday party near you (if you live in Utah). I'm working on the ol' costume and will soon be attending parties as Tinkerbell.

2. Cooking is my new favorite Hobby. I just made some awesome bread and can't wait to eat it for dinner tonight.

3. Jeeves and Whooster is a really funny show. Doctor Who is my favorite show.

4. Going off of that last one, I have a crush on BBC drama's.

5. I didn't think I would like Twitter, but I really do. I've been a tweeter for a couple months now, and I have been avoiding Facebook as much as possible. It sucks away your time if your not careful.

6. I'm currently reading Linchpin. It's fantastic. My favorite of Seth Godin's books (that I've read) so far. I just have to apply it to life now... and I will so there.

7. I believe families can be together forever.

Ok, there are some things about me.

Girl's Night Out

Or Illustration Friday- Sweater
Really I have been working on this for a little while (not just this week) but one of those girls is wearing a sweater, so I'm posting it for Illustration Friday. I'm planning on using it for one of my next mailers.  I'd love to hear what you think about it.

Also I'm pondering the thought of opening my own online shop where you can buy some of my prints, or original paintings, maybe cards and the like. Do you think that would go over well? I can't decide.

Oh, and don't forget to check out my little blog story book about a confused but very famous wizard.

I love letting the watercolor do what it wants. I think it worked well in this piece.

Something about Clowns

I feel like I should say something about clowns since I am posting a clown illustration and all. I don't really have much to say about them though, except that the face paint makes them a little harder to draw, (try making a person look sad when they have a smile painted on) and I've been in the mood to draw them lately. But here is a cool thing, when I was "researching" for my clown illustrations I found a blog written by someone who loves clowns so much he can't stop talking about them, Pat Cashin's Clown Alley. If you ever want to know anything about clowns you can probably find it there. It was totally handy for me.

So now, instead of saying something about clowns, I'm gonna say something about people. I love that we/people can just really like stuff so much that we learn about it and write about it and love it and can't get enough of what ever it is. I love that most of us can become a little crazy about random things. It great, and you never know if maybe some of the stuff you are a little crazy about could even be helpful for other people too, like when they/she might want to draw a clown or two.

Sail

Here's an entry for this weeks Illustration Friday topic. I haven't posted and IF illustration for a while so it has been fun to have the time this week. So there you go.

Now on a totally different note I just have to say that I saw Word Girl for the first time today and it was so funny. If you haven't seen this fun cartoon you should totally check it out. I laughed and laughed and totally got sucked in.

The Plant

This was a spread for a picture book. It isn't going to go to press now but I still liked the sketch so I finished it up for fun.

Back to the Blogging world

For all of you who are completely sick of looking at that rat in the last post, (I know I am) here is a picture with plenty more where that came from. It's based on the poem "The Pied Piper of Hamelin" by Robert Browning.

I have been working on it all month and finally with other deadlines out of the way I have it done.

Hansel and Gretel, (the last three)

I finished my Hansel and Gretel Series, and here they are! If you missed the first three check them out here, and here. Thanks again to all my friends that helped by giving some great critique.
