Doodles from Today

The doodles were actually from last night when I was watching TABOO on National Geographic... I LOVE THAT SHOW! So amazing. The hair style in the last doodle was inspired by one of the tribal hair I saw on the show.

One more day to go before I have to go back to work. Sign...
(I did mow my lawn! YAY!)

Nate Williams Pillow

Got this awesome Tree House pillow by Nate Williams at Urban Outfitters this afternoon. I love the artwork and the fact that the cover is removable. The insert is really soft too! There is another design (see it here ) but the shop didn't have it, otherwise I would get it too...

Doodles from Today

I love long weekend! (Even though I had to mow my lawn... The grasses are too tall now, and I am too embarrassed to hire people to mow it for me.) I got to stay at home, relax and draw. Here are some doodles from this afternoon. I am hoping to put them on wood next week! Are you having a good weekend so far? Hope yours is relaxing and spent on doing something you love too!

Girl on Wood Block

I put her on a 3" by 5" wood block! I haven't done this for awhile and doing so just reminded me how much fun (and delicate) the process really is! I am planning to do more characteds on the wood blocks in the near future.

Artist: Gemma Correll... what a gem!!!

I am so in love with Gemma Correll's funny and whimsical drawings. The first time I saw them, I laughed out loud because they totally spoke to me and made me so happy! I have since then been a fan of her works; so when she told me that she blogged about me, I was so flattered! I have long wanted to blog about her artworks too, and here are some of my favorite pieces from her! Aren't they just so cute? I especially love the expressions on all her characters. She also does awesome hand letterings. Please check out Gemma's blog, her Flickr page and her Etsy shop.

2 Little Doodle Paintings

No heavy paint job tonight... Tonight I just painted some shapes with acrylic paints and then doodled on top of it. I found this really fun to do since I get to mix colors and paint (simple shapes... hard to mess up too much) plus I get to doodle which is my favorite! I love using really fine pens and draw thin lines that somehow make the artworks look like etchings. So I added indentation of frames to make them look like faux etchings... is that stupid? I kind of like it...

Faces

Acrylic+pen on cardboard
Man... it's a real test of patience to paint on a rough textured cardboard... so hard to get a clean edge...
