Moving and a couple sketches.

Where have I been? MOVING. It was hectic and awful, but it’s now all over and I am safely in Miami, Florida. :)

My blog updates have been woefully lacking, not just from the move but also because all the work I have been doing has been your basic logos and things– nothing too exciting! I do have a few sketches to show now, however. Heck, I’ll even show some of the less glamorous stuff I’ve been doing.

I’m working on a painting for a woman in Canada, for a baby’s room. It’s based on a Filipino folktale called “The Deer and the Snail.” It’s pretty much the Rabbit and the Tortoise… but with, you know, a deer and the snail. Snails are freaking awesome, so this will be a lot of fun.

Next up is another foray into international illustration. WTS Productions in Britain needed an update to their poster for “Father Christmas and the Magic Fir Cone.” A girl and the forest creatures discover a magical fir cone, but a nasty black cat and Baba Yaga want to steal it for themselves. Oh no!! I believe the story is based on a Russian folktale.

Like I said, I’ve also been doing a lot of pretty simple, quick jobs for people. This is the kind of bread and butter work I’ve been doing to practice various skills and just keep making money as I seek out the big jobs.

Mascot Design of girls with lollipops. This is my attempt at, um, “sassy.”

Green Goddess Logo, which is still in progress as the client is out-of-state.

Tattoo design – Client wanted a Meeple (from Carcassonne) riding a catfish in the style of those Koi tattoos you see all over the place. This was ridiculous and fun, and a good way to brush up on my Photoshop skills.mother daughter 300x398 Moving and a couple sketches.

This was a really small painting for a client who wanted to “look toward the future” after some life issues. She wanted absolutely nothing weird in it, so it might not resemble my usual work. ;)

    Congrats on getting moved, though Savannah will miss you. I love all the logos, though, uhhhhh…shouldn’t the woman’s boobs in the yoga logo be less…gravity defying? Just sayin’! ;)

    Hahaha, I drew her boobs normal actually in the sketch, modest Bs perhaps, and the client said it was all great except she wanted the logo lady to have bigger boobs and butt, and the man to have more muscled arms. So it’s really funny that you commented on that, heh. :D
