New Ebay Auction Art...

These brand new paintings are available on Ebay right now...very reasonable beginning bids, and the 2nd one is just over 3 feet tall. Click to visit the auctions.

When I really want something on ebay I use BidNapper.com, it allows you to set your maximum bid but does not place your bid until the closing minutes of the auction. This way you avoid emotional bidding, keep on budget and don't have to be around when the auction ends...and it's a free service for the first 15 days!

A Fun T-Shirt Design!

Camp Dogwood asked me to do their logo several years back and recently we hooked up again. I just finished this t-shirt design for their 2007 camps. I'm really happy with how it turned out. It's kind of fun to break out of my boxy compositions for a change. I started with a very rough drawing in my sketchbook which I scanned and then used my fabulous new Wacom Cintiq Tablet to finish it, it's an amazing feeling to draw on the screen.

The Princess and the Pea

Alice - our own, not so little anymore, princess...and her snoozing pal, IZzy.

Manimal

I'm starting a series of paintings based on imagery I have created in clay at Lill Street. This 16x20 painting is from a small sgraffito tile I blogged about last year, called Human Beast.I prefer the tile over this painting but it did make for an interesting translation.

Flowerful Canines

I recently painted and shipped these 3 pet portraits to Santa Barbara...Sadie, Chip and Sydney. Adorable subjects and I love that my wonderful clients chose the flower theme. Both Chip and Sydney are Catahoula Rescues. Click HERE to see other Catahoula's from around the country who are in need of homes and adoption.

Older, Smarter, Better!

I just created this t-shirt design for a wonderful Senior Animal Pet Rescue Group in the Chicago area: Young At Heart Pet Rescue. All proceeds from the sale of these shirts will go towards the many expenses an organization like this has in its efforts to save, sometimes treat and foster these dears until they find forever homes. The shirts will be available for sale at the upcoming Chicagoland Family Pet Expo.

Crash

Illustration Friday Theme = Crash. Ink Drawing painted with pixels of color. A fork in the road...depending on their speed maybe they won't crash at all...

I did this sketch with ink and digitally colored...immediate gratification...can you imagine what it will be like when my Cintiq Tablet arrives?!
