California Dreamin'

Lots of fun stuff is happening! 

Girls Drawin' Girls will have a table at SDCC where you'll be able to buy these 5"x7" prints and many other fine works of art from the uber talented ladies of GDG -  along with The Way Nature Made Her book which I'm sure will knock your socks off! 

A short week later, if you're in the LA area, you'll be able to see my framed "Seagrass" piece along with all the other originals from The Way Nature Made Her.

Details:

Saturday, Aug 6
8pm - 12am
Vlad the Retailer
704 Heliotrope Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90029

All these materials are getting packed up and shipped to Cali tomorrow...so I had to take lots of pictures because I hope they find themselves some lovely homes!

I ran out of color background ideas, so I thought, to finish off the set I'd use them all! Being a combination of every color, black will work just fine. :) 

After this I'm going to work on my children's portfolio a little bit. So say "so long" to the ladies! (Although it might be more like "see ya soon")

Girls Girls Girls!

Can't get enough of these quickie girl sketches. I've been practicing using NO LINES, it's so much fun. Next time I'm going to take a screen capture while I'm drawing so you can see inside my brain. Anyone have a suggestion for a new pose or outfit? I get lots of my inspiration from Modcloth, however, most of the clothes I start out drawing cover more surface area (I erase a lot). For example, the top girlie used to be wearing a knee length dress before. Ahem. 

The top image is going to be part of the Girls Drawin' Girls pre-sale pinup bookplate offer. Order a copy before July 10 and you'll get a unique extra gift. :) 

*Just for fun, here's my first pass at the top image (and my sketch):

Drawin' Girls

Hi everyone! It's been a really long time since I've posted on my regular blog since I was focusing on Goodbye, my 20s. Now that I've officially said see ya to my 20's, I'm back in action!

One thing I did recently was start a Tumblr page. 

The following images are some quick pieces I did to practice playing with color and texture. I plan to keep making more! 

I love Tumblr because it feels nice to just post a picture. The "Queue" feature is super awesome...it's just -really easy. :D

Next up, Girls Drawin' Girls Volume IV: The Way Nature Made Her is now available for presale! The piece below is my contribution for the underwater chapter. We all chose different plants to start...I picked Seagrass :) The book is a 174 page hardcover gem that comes with a free unique pinup bookplate (only through presale!)

There are so many talented ladies featured in this book, 84 lady artists to be exact!

Aside from all of this exciting news, I've been buried in a REALLY cool freelance project that I can't wait to show you! Until then, start having a great summer because before you know it...fall will be here! :D
