Mission Completed: New Piece for Bockfest

As you may know, I will be at The Craft Menagerie this Saturday! I've been busy getting ready for the event the past few weeks. To my surprise, I've finished up my prepping ahead of time. With this little bit of extra time I have I wanted to come up with a new piece in celebration of the event. The Craft Menagerie is part of Cincinnati's Bockfest, and since the goat is a staple image of Bockfest, I decided to come up with some goatie goodness of my own to bring to the celebration! Look for prints of my little billy goat at The Craft Menagerie located in Arnold's Bar during Bockfest this Saturday, 11am-4pm!

Feline Friday: Sticky Situation

This is another sketch from the personal project I've been working on. I still have a long way to go, but things are starting to become more clear. It may be a little hard to tell, but the cat is stuck in a web. Oh, the things he gets into. Happy Friday!

Feline Friday: Valentine, once more

Here's the cutie I came up with for the card I will be sending to my niece this year. Slightly similar to the cat Valentine I already came up with, but a little more appropriate. This time I made the kitty look like my niece's cat. I think she'll like it. Happy Friday!

Mission Completed: Another Valentine

As Valentine's Day is drawing closer, it was becoming more and more apparent that the "Because I Love You" card was probably not the best option to send to my 3 year-old nephew. Since I like to send my niece and nephew little surprise packages filled with holiday goodies, I really needed to come up with an illustration a bit more appropriate. This is what I've come up with for the little guy. He LOVES trains. I'm not sure about his feelings towards giraffes, though I'm sure they are more positive than not. I still need to come up with something for the niece. Gotta go fill up some more sketch book pages!
