brrr!

winter is fast approaching..here, have some cute wintery doodles I did a while ago for some holiday cards

vacation woes

Off for same vacation time abroad. 

My destination: France! 

Going to enjoy Paris for a while as well as the town of Annecy, where the annual Annecy International Animation Film Festival is taking place! I'm SUPER excited for my trip..not so much for the flights I have to take to get there. But, ah Paris, soon my day dreams will come true - sipping on cafe au lait, croissant on the side, sketching the people and place of Paris....so, *SIGH* I guess some turbulence, air sickness, and bad plane food is worth it.

life drawin' sketches

Classic Jordo

if you've never heard a "FUN ALARM"...

 ...well, lemme tell ya, you're missin' out!

Some posing sketches of a friend of mine, 

who really should be the star of his own Saturday morning cartoon.

it's gonna be just dandy, candy

When lacking in motivation, and inspiration's nowhere in sight -

I listen to a song and just..doodle...

Here's my interpretation of Candy by Nat King Cole

acroBATics

Been getting back into some maqeutte making - sculpting is so much fun! Here's a little piece i did to get back into the swing of things. 

It's for the Laika House Creative Challenge that they put out on Facebook monthly, encouraging art of all mediums to depict a monthly topic. This month's was "circus animals"...I went for the obvious (enjoyable!) pun - acroBAT. Wire, Sculpey, fabrics, and acrylics were used.

let's misbehave

so I was doing some sketching...

..and I love to listen to a song and draw what image it brings to mind..here's one for this Cole Porter adorably naughty tune . . .

  

  

an unrelated sketch, but now that i think about it..could there be a story here?

only the warm colours

It's still cold here, I daydream of beach days and feeling warm rays of sunshine on my face.

This sketch was inspired by Nichole's wonderfully adorable pinup style.

(also, just realized, this is such a similar pose to my previous post - my subconscious must be wanting to recline lazily with one knee up...or something)

..in Celia colours

happy birthday Celia !

Here's a little commission piece I worked on - a poster design/image for a talented young jazz vocalist I know.

A Colourful Crew

A lineup of characters that come from behind the red curtains to entertain and amaze!

Clowns and bearded ladies to follow...
