Drawingsessssss!

This post has been trying my patience. I’ve been trying to get it up for almost a week now. The images have been giving me technical difficulties. I can’t get them to copy from here to there, or my usb key won’t read, or the scanner refuses to scan my spiral-bound sketchbook properly, or I fell asleep. Anywhodles, I finally just took a picture of them on my phone and sent them to myself. Then I popped into Photoshop to remove shadows and stuff so they don’t look like I took a photo of them with my phone – even though I’m telling you that. 😉 It’ll be our little secret. Don’t tell anyone. It’s just between us.

I did this one a bazillion years ago (or a month). I was sitting on the couch and my swiss army knife was sitting beside me, so I drew it. TA-DA!

I started drawing random patterns, and then it started looking like the texture in an iris, so I went with it… It took a while, but it kinda looks cool!

I got some new neon pencils and was fiddling around with them. I drew this elephant-bottle! I love all things neon!

More Drawingses!

Sometimes I start drawing something (like a water bottle) and things start going awry. The bottom of the bottle turns into a woman with legs. One leg is shorter and skinnier than the other and becomes a gazelle leg. A tail is added… And weirdness results!

One more for today. Just a punny picture I drew. Wouldn’t it be scary if your heart REALLY attacked you? YIKES!

Heart Attack!

Drawingses!

I’ve been at it again…

Wood Eye – crazy eyelashes and a wood-texture. Who wants a glass eye when you can have a wood eye?!

Aimless Fruit – what direction does your aimlessness go in?

Teeny Tiny – little random drawings mashed together in a crowd!

SuckSess – good or bad? Up or down?

Be sure to eat your veggies, and get lots of sun!

Hello! It’s been a long hiatus since I posted some drawings. I have a few that were ready last week, but clearly I was not 😉 Here are the two I had mustered in the last couple weeks, and an additional one for your viewing pleasure! You’re going to get your vitamin D, vitamin A, vitamin B and a smile!

I drew this one for Andrea, and realized after finishing this one that it could be a neat tattoo 🙂

A card I painted for someone’s birthday… who doesn’t like broccolli cake?!

Don’t ask me WHY I drew this one.. it literally just appeared in my mind and I started drawing it. I think he looks dashing in his knitted scarf!

Weekly drawings: Featured Artist :)

This week I am showcasing a featured artist! As promised, this week I am featuring the work of the talented Mariangela Giuliane! Giulie is from Brazil!!  A little quote from her:  “Sometimes I’m a good girl… but most times I think I’m a mystery, even to myself.” Guilie draws and creates art with just about anything she can find: pens, pencils, even on the computer! A lot of her drawings have a fantasy feel to them, taking you away into an imaginary world. Here are some drawings by Giulie!

Be sure to visit her blog to see more of her work:  http://mariangelagiuliane.blogspot.com

Weekly drawings: slipperslide, arn, and friends

Last week I went to a used book fair and found this interesting little book. At first I thought it was a joke, but after closer examination, I found that “A dictionary of The Queen’s English” was written in all seriousness!!!

The first two sentences of the preface read: To outsiders it sounds strange, even uncultured. But what many North Carolinians do to the King’s English was done centuries ago by the Queen. There are many humerous definitions found in this little book. All should be read with a southern American accent, like the following:

• Blowed (for blown and blew) – The wind had blowed all night. The steady wind blowed the ship off course.
• Mought (for might) – I mought go fishing today.
• far (for fire) – The far was blazing like the dickens!

Two of my illustrations are from this funny little dictionary, one is a close copy of a picture from google, and the other two – are from the depths of my mind! Enjoy, and don’t forget to click to enlarge or see more detail 🙂

My drawing of a slipperslide 🙂

The arn was sure heavy 😉

I did a virtual copy from a google image. I’d credit the original artist, but I didn’t copy the URL! 🙂

This is my interpretation of a death stare 😉

I was thinking about this amazing spicy been salad I had when in Thailand… and began drawing 😉
