Daily Creativity: Sleeping TekType

A sleeping TekType in his natural habitat Tonight I lay next to my husband as he slept and sketched him, then I painted it.  I just loved how he looked laying there.  The green of his clothes mixing with the green sheets, pillow cases and duvet gave the tableau a very soft feel, it’s what pulled me to pick up a pencil.  I chose watercolor to make the painting as soft as I could.

This comes on a fitting day, as I post this it is July 4th, 2013.  My husband and I met for the first time face to face 11 years ago today.  We had known each other for about five years before then but we grew closer in the year before meeting.  Not to sound sappy, but it was the best fourth of july fireworks ever, and I had to go to Canada for them.

Daily Creativity: Skull

Skull_smThis is yesterday’s daily creativity, I was out most of the day and just not able to get in up until today.  I started drawing this while at the radio station and then finished it when I got home.  Skulls are fun, and I have a few around my house.  I’ve often worn skulls on my clothing and I remember in the past having a lot of negative reactions to it, but now I get positive reaction.  Little kids wear skulls now and it’s cute.  It’s interesting how societies perception of things like this keeps changing. I like the decoration on the top, and the shading and cross hatching on the cavities.  Ink on paper.

Daily Creativity: Rory has a crush

RoryHasACrushToday I drew this mental image I have from time to time of Rory acting out his crush.  Very few people know of the other animals in Rory’s story, but this is one of them.  Ishime, a panther cub.  Rory wants to give her a flower.

I drew this with fine tipped sharipes on paper.  I like the ability I have to do some fun ink things with sharpies but find myself wishing for the control of a quill.  Now if only I had a good way to utilize various ink colors with a quill?

Daily Creativity: Dexter

DexterTonight I was supposed to record with the DexterCast. I have been looking forward to it for weeks, right smack dab in the middle of a super busy work week (44 page publication) and fundraising for my volunteer gig.  Still, I was looking forward to it.  Sadly, today work exploded and I finally was able to finish for the day and start cooking supper when my alarm went off to record with the DexterCast.  Not only had I forgotten, but I didn’t even watch the episode like I had planned to.  I feel like scum.

So as an apology to the whole crew of the podcast I drew a little Dexter card for them.  Sharpies on paper (message is a font added later).
