Bunny is so hungry, there’s a storm in his belly.
My attempt for Illustration Friday’s Storm. Some parts of my Illustrator process take too long so I wanted to see if I could work on those with this image. The experiment was a success, working in AI is a puzzle sometimes.
I’m reading a few books at the moment:
Drawn to Life Volume 1 : 20 Golden Years of Disney Master Class by Walt Stanchfield
A Field Guide to Fabric Design: Design, Print and Sell Your Own Fabric by Kimberly Kight
Making an Impression: Designing and Crafting Artful Stamps by Geninne D. Zlatkis

My attempt for Illustration Friday’s word, Ocean.
Been battling a cold that is clearly from the depths of Hades. Going on week no. 2 of this and I’m over it. Hoping to re-open the shop by the end of this month and trying to see if it is time for me to upgrade some software and my OS. I just want to paint and draw, that’s all.

This little bird is wearing his new slouchy hat. Another attempt for New for Illustration Friday.
So far so good with the more goal. Painting more, coming right up!

Christmas is over? Bah humbug! Can’t be, I love it too much and it is flooding my sketches still. ;)
This is my attempt for Illustration Friday’s word, New.
I’m enjoying my vacation and all of the organization for months is paying off now. All we have left is my side of the master closet (ahem), Raul’s office/my sewing room and the pantry to go. I love ABFOL and the biggest takeaway from her site was the mail system. That is by far the best thing for us because we don’t continually each have a pile of mail to go through for each of us. We have a folder for each of us, a TO PAY folder, and a TO FILE folder. That way we can go through our own folders when we want to and there is no paper trail or paper piles all over. For coupons I got a little zip up pack from the Container Store and I keep that in the main car we drive. That way the coupons are always with us on the go. Plus I installed apps for Michaels and JoAnns so I can have their most up to date coupons as well.
Do you have any organization tips? I am pretty much obsessed with it now.

The shy little fox would rather stare at a lone red leaf without a care.
This is my attempt for the theme of Shy for Illustration Friday and it is also an entry for 52 Designs. Now available in my shop.
I will update again with shots of my studio, organizing has been a great help and I feel like I have more room to dream even bigger now.
Sweet dreams, goodnight.

I used to get a little lonely when I rode the light rail, so I figured this little guy would get lonely at the bus stop. Hope it doesn’t take too long to arrive.
