Christmas art

I wanted to do something special for two very good friends this year for Christmas, so I decided to do some art of their children. Owen is 2 and little Gabriel is 3 months!

Draw Sierra!

Or, at least just her face. Some of the characteristics that define her look.

Sierra in the wind

As always, my favorite sketch subject.

Ring Bear

Quickie sketch tonight for a friend of mine who, only a month away from marriage, realized that it's called a 'ring bearer' and not a 'ring bear'.

Polly and the Pirates

Stopped by Floating World Comics in downtown Portland today and found volume 2 of 'Polly and the Pirates' by Ted Naifeh there. I've had volume 1 for years without even knowing the second was out so I picked it up. Cute story and beautiful art, check it out if you're into that sort o' thing. Here's a drawing of Polly about to get all stabby.

Pandas!

I was talked back into playing World of Warcraft. God help me.....

Birthday Fairy

Forgot to post this from a while ago, I've been transferring files from my old computer onto my new super awesome, gigantic, complete overkill, art/gaming computer! Hopefully won't have to upgrade now for a very very long time. This is another sketch/paint collaboration from me and the dad of the mermaid girl for his other daughter, Ruth, whose birthday was in July.

Coffee time!

Illustrations for some friends with an espresso theme....very fun project. And I actually did the colors this time (with some outside consultation, of course).

Quickie mermaid sketch for the evening.
