Illustration Friday - Scattered

{Oil on Board, 2011}

This is a small part of a larger illustration that I have been working on. I started it quite a while ago and am now chipping away at finishing it. I thought it worked well for scattered, since thats what animals tend to do when startled. I still have quite a bit of work to do, but I don't think it will be done by the time the week is up, so I figured I would post what I have.

A Snowman and an Artwork Sale

{Sketchbook with Digital Color, 2010}

Even though we haven't had our first real snow yet this year (very unusual!), I am starting to get into the spirit of winter and the holidays. Every year I get an itch to draw a snowman... maybe its because I don't get outside and make one anymore. When I was a kid, that was one of those things you just had to do! Who knows, maybe I will do it this year!

{Etsy Banner, Click to Visit, 2010}

I also wanted to share that a bit later today I will be updating my Etsy shop with several illustrations that I no longer have room for. Our house is quite small and its actually a bit painful to get rid of some of my more favorite pieces! I plan to price them reasonably so that they will *hopefully* sell. There will be watercolors, oils and drawings. If you are looking for a Christmas gift or a piece of art for a nook in your home that needs a lil' something, please visit my shop!

Illustration Friday - Frozen

{Ink Pen in Moleskine, 2009}

I did a pen sketch in my sketchbook last night. This is probably all I will have time for this week, but I still think the little sketch has quite a bit of personality! I am busy preparing for Market Day (this Saturday, October 24th...stop by if you are in the Des Moines area!) and also some other little mysterious illustration based things that need to be tied up into neat little bows in the next few weeks.
