Yep, another cat.

I just can't stop myself.  He's so fun to draw.

Adventure kitties

I am pondering a story for these characters.  Is this something you'd like to see? =)

Babies at the zoo!

Babies at the zoo!!!  I had a special time at the Oregon Zoo yesterday with my sketchbook.  The baby otter was out with mom, playing in a freshly dropped pile of snow and getting swim lessons. After was a wrestle fest in the den to get dry and warm. 



Another few animals caught my attention between that and when I reached the lion cubs.  Then I spent the rest of my time drawing with the cubs!

I hardly did the cuteness justice.  Drawing live lion cubs playing in the rain (they were caked with mud, by the way) is a once in a lifetime opportunity.  Thank you Oregon Zoo! 




Season's greeting cards

I made a few season's greetings cards for a few (lucky?) people this year, each of which was an individual watercolor painting.  This is my lovely 6-foot ficus that got decorated for Christmas instead of a traditional evergreen. Each card turned out a little different.

Painting!

These first three are based on photos found on the Humans of New York website. A great source for portrait inspiration!



I have a dream to make paintings of tasty food.  What better object of choice than sushi?


All of these are done in watercolor on the pages of a 9" x 6" watercolor sketchbook.  Pretty small.

Animated Arts PDX gesture extravaganza

Animated Arts PDX proved once again to be a super unique drawing experience! (Event held 1/3/13) 














From the sketchbook

My charming little niece Penelope.  She very clearly understood that this was a portrait of her.

Studies of kitties from photos. Can't go wrong with that.

My latest finished short film, Zombie Fairy, is officially complete!  It has been in the works for nearly 3 years. I am in the process of sending it to festivals and I will update this blog when I've found out when and where it's showing.  Here are some production shots to get you teased!  (Please do not re-post these images anywhere without my express permission)
