CHSR ran an IndieGoGo Campaign to raise funds for renovations, I offered my service to create pop art as a perk. This is one of the perks I have fulfilled. The donor had me do his kids, which came out pretty cool, they look like they are about to discover their superpowers…. or is that just what I’m imagining?
4/18/2014? I think
I painted this up shortly before Easter, my last few weeks of lent have been creative light, I’ve been sick and just unable to concentrate, which sucks. Tek has been wanting me to try my hand at painting Warhammer miniatures, this is my first attempt. He didn’t have any purple so I mixed to make the best I could. I’d like to try again, and even then I think I can go back in and add some more detail here. Still, my first attempt isn’t bad I don’t think. It’s really tiny work, which is a challenge with my eyesight.

Today’s drawing is of Rory and his pal Shelldon, the turtle. I love how Shelldon is just hanging there, he’s pretty adorable. I drew this using the blending markers in ArtRage on my iPad.

This is a bit messy, but I like it messy sometimes. This Love Your Body piece isn’t inspired by one photograph but a collection of them. I created this without the use of of a model. I like how the quick lines and subtle color creates some emotion in this piece.

Pear Shaped? We’ve all heard it before. Are you a pear shape? An apple shape? You’re neither. You’re person shaped. People come in different shapes and sizes, we aren’t apples, we aren’t pears, we’re people. You may remember me doing an apple shape painting last year.
I made this using watercolor and blending marker mode in ArtRage on my iPad, it’s pretty neat being able to mix mediums without the hassle of waiting for something to dry.
I haven’t been able to do many creations this week, between a huge travel day and a nightmare of delays, then a full work week where I was only getting three hours of sleep a night, which resulted in me getting sick, it’s just been a nightmare. When talking to me husband on the phone about my mood he said “Have you been keeping up with your daily creativity?” I said what time do I have, but his point was valid, even with the little time I had, not creating was taking another toll on me, a mental one.
Also Art Month is over, but lent continues, so these will come pretty regularly till easter.
