the other side of the garden party

i have to face this creature every day.

apparently it's a garden party

the family i am attached to like an urchin is having some sort of get together/reunion or what we ultimately decided was a 'garden party' this summer and i doodled this invite in flash for them. i didn't want to post it until i was certain people had received theirs in the mail! this was a lot of fun to do! i love working in flash because everything is so clean and easy! the magical fairy floating down is me, as it was insisted that the "peruvian pixie" be in the drawing too.

happy birthday tom (or i suck at getting things done)

yaay super late birthday present for tom cause last year he drew me the nicest clouds ever on his blog, Lead Sandwich!

i wanted to do something cute and rather simple in terms of lineart so i could dick around with the coloring! i've been wanting to try no black lineart for awhile and recently figured out a way so that it wouldn't take forever (but it still kind of did) but i'm rather pleased with how round and squishy it turned out! it looks really simple but it actually took a long time! yaaay tom!



















which one looks better?

valentine attempts

"roses are red,
violets are blue,
i like smashing zombie heads in
with you."

this was the original valentine i drew for my sweetie, fresh zombie love. i had intended for there to be some zombie heads floating about, but i was doing this at the last minute and i was already not liking the drawing, so i opted for something simpler that i could finish quicker...


















clouds eating axel's ear. he doesn't mind. i drew and redrew clouds' nose so many times that finally i realized i liked it better without a nose. the finished version was colored with prismas and set against a heart and put on a handmade card, but i didn't take a photo... maybe next post.

FLASH DOODLES

the top image refers to one night i planned to finish a batgirl drawing and my dog decided to get into chocolate, so i had to induce vomiting in him. not a pleasant night. the second image shows how i have the two best friends in the world, but often find myself sandwiched between two impassive boulders at night. the third is the result of provoking me, and the last is a simple portrait, complete with my favorite brown shoes!

the odd couple

due to the fact that clouds always wears oversized shirts, it was evident that she must have a mate of some sort. he finally came out on pen and paper and this is him: axel, because the name got stuck in my head and i couldn't get it out. wolfish (literally!), serious, responsible and very patient, he is almost the opposite of clouds. he may seem scary, but he's a gummy bear inside. i think the crux of their relationship is that she's an idiot and he thinks that's endearing. but she's cute as anything so it's ok.











and then my dear love went and spoiled me terribly by buying me a bunch of new prismas! so i colored up an semi-ok drawing i had of clouds and axel on halloween!


















axel is a skeleton and clouds is a cloud ... because she's special. she also refuses to touch the ground in light of her costume.

HAPPY BARFDAY

this is probably the oddest thing i've ever done. birthday present. this is the scariest face clouds can manage. i think its pretty horrifying. unfortunatley i messed up the format so the electric neon colors aren't as intense as the are on my screen...
