My first FINISHED illustration of this year! I played with the color and decided with a different shading technique. More of a cell drawing than 'painterly'. Fun fun fun.<br />

Hi swimmers,<br />
<br />
I'm still drawing, though life is getting busy. Above is a current painting I did while between breaks. My muse (of course).<br />

Hi swimmers,<br />
<br />
One of my favorite things to do is reinvent characters of favorite story books. I haven't drew anything on 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' since college and these designs just sorta popped in my head.<br />
I think what inspired me to create this, was the scene between Alice and the Cheshire Cat, "Can you stand on your head?" in Disney's Alice in Wonderland.<br />
It was always my favorite scene as a kid, totally hilarious to me. :) Then from there, the ideas just started to flow.<br />
<br />
Keep swimming,<br />

It's almost time for the yearly clean-up and interface maker-over (I personally can't wait) and I'll be trying to post on regular basis too.<br />
The tank is about to reach clear skies... *grins*<br />

Thanks for the swim,<br />

Hey swimmers,<br />
<br />
I honestly do not know how I pulled this out of my head. Haha. I'm usually weary when it comes to Disney art. But wasn't as tedious as I thought and I like the final product. Below is the line art and above what she would look like with coloring.<br />
<br />
Honestly I had been watching, 'Once Upon a Time' on Hulu and the idea had popped in my head. But I wanted her to be 'accruate' to the Grimm stories. SO!She is dressed to impress in 16th century Germany and she still loves that apple...<br />
<br />
<br />
Swim swim swim,<br />

Good early morning swimmers!<br />
<br />
I just wanted to post something up just so you know I'm still drawing in my handy-dandy-sketchbook. I haven't had much time to post online, but I'm still drawing none-the-less. Though work has been my big time compressor, I've also started working on 'my secret project' a month ago.<br />
It's taking a bit of time, but its going very well. I'll let you know the details a bit later once I have some things finalized! In the meantime above is a sketch and illustration of my favorite Muse!<br />
<br />

Swim away,<br />

Hello! Day twenty-four has come three days late unfortunately. Hopefully my busy work schedule and devotion to 'other projects' won't get too much in the way. Anyways, today's subject is on family. So I made a quick sketch of Wood and his parents (traditional family portrait).</div>

Hi deep-sea divers,<br />
<br />
Its always scary sometimes to draw a new character when you know them to look an ENTIRELY different way...<br />
This use to be Charlie, but he has a mak-over (very rough right now) and also will receive a new name. ;)<br />
<br />
Stay a float,<br />
