If you get a chance today, read Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech. It is profoundly relevant today!
Christmas Advent Illustrations
I'm drawing a Christmas illustration a day for advent. Here is what I've done so far. You can follow along on my facebook page if you'd like! Otherwise I'll post them all here once I'm done. It's getting me in the holiday spirit! :)
Let's Make Something
I am so lucky to have so many creative friends. One of the best of them is Lisa, who is a graphic designer AND photographer. She is equally talented at both and it's not fair, I know. Check out her awesome creations at www.wisteriadesignstudio.com. Last time we got together we said, "Let's make something!" So we went to Color Me Mine and hand painted some plates. Below are the before and after pics. Lisa's is the floral and mine is the goofy horse. It was fun but it also made me realize how talented traditional artists are. I am almost entirely digital these days and control Z (undo) has become my best friend. You can't control Z a hand painting. All you fine artists out there are amazing!
Christmas Type
Working on some hand lettered Christmas type for Tiger Print!
Pencil to Chalk
I figured out that if I do hand lettering using a dull pencil and then invert it to white in Photoshop over a chalkboard background, it looks like real chalk lettering. Here are a few comps I just finished for Michaels Arts & Crafts showing the before (pencil) and after (chalk).
