Drifting : IF

This weeks Illustration Friday prompt was Drifting and there's no more pleasant drifting then along a slow river in an inter tube.

Tree Fall

This what happened to my yard last night. i think the 3 story tall tree that shades my house has to come down. There is a crack in the main trunk. So much fun =). g

Coffee Sketch 6/16/09

Unfold : IF (digital color)

i found enough time to try a digital coloring today.

Unfold : IF

This week for Illustration Friday the word is Unfold. It's going to be a busy week so i'm happy i got this done. i've been working with nib pens and really enjoying it but now i want an inkwell to make dipping easier (and less spills). The intent is to try coloring this but in case i don't end up with the time i'm gonna get it up so i feel productive =). For those who came via the static page and who might be interested, look ==>Here<== for the possibility of the colorized version later in the week.

Hope your all doing well and thanks for looking, g

Coffee Sketch 6/11/09

Just an experiment with ink pencils on dark paper.

Arboretum

Last weekend the family and i went over to the Arboretum. They have a really cool pond that the kids can walk around in that's full of tadpoles...



And a new exhibit called Animal Houses. We spent hours running around.



Hope your enjoying your week, g

Adapt : IF ... Digital Practice

Needing a lot more skill in coloring i decided to sketch something to color...it turned in to a way bigger thing then it was sposta. The sketch was at coffee, the inking was at lunch (and beyond), and i've just finished trying to mess around with it in Photoshop.



Next i'm going to print out a few copies on various papers and try markers on one and watercolors on another. (and for you Illustration Friday people, i'm the one Adapting to new media...i know it's a stretch ). Let me know what you think of this one.

Peace, g
