Daily Creativity: Rory’s reaction to a Poke Ball & the beginning of ART MONTH!

RoryPokeBall3/1/14: Today Marks the Beginning of ART MONTH! Art month is a tradition I started where I make sure I create something every day. It is the month of March, but often goes for longer, because it’s also for the length of Lent too, it came from me taking this on as part of lent one year. (You don’t always give things up, but do things to help you focus on God. Art helps me drown out life and reflect.)

So I thought I’d start us off this year with a drawing of Rory, I thought I’d try to draw him as a pokemon, asked Tek what I would need to do to display that, and he said a poke ball.  Well Rory will have none of that!  How dare you try to contain a dragon?  Imprisonment?  He thinks not!  So this was Rory’s reaction to being a pokemon, SMASH THE POKE BALL!

Daily Creativity: Will Coffin


Will Coffin from Flash PulpI was originally going to draw a baby version of the Flash Pulp character Will Coffin, but then I thought about how I can’t imagine anyone letting a kid wear a hook around his neck and a leather coat… so I drew my mental version of him instead.

Again, I ask you to check out the stories on FlashPulp.com

Daily Creativity: Baby Mulligan & April Fish


Baby Mulligan Smith from Flash PulpAnother bit of Fan Art for FlashPulp.com. We were discussing the idea of what some of the characters would have looked like as babies, so I started with a toddler version of Mulligan Smith. I always have an issue drawing children, they always look much older than I intend them to look. And yes, that is a slurpee in his bottle thank you very much.

You might notice I started dating my drawings. It’s something I saw Stanton Friedman do at the station the other day and it got me thinking it was a good idea. I think the date does more than just establish someone signed something, but when, when in their career. I though it was a nice touch, so I’m doing it now. Thoughts?

April Fool's Day Fish
Today is April Fool’s day, I hate pranks and I really don’t like the idea of tricks or people having a justified reason to pick on people. That said, I do enjoy a good Joke, like Google Maps having quest mode where you can look at the maps in 8bit, or the funny offerings at ThinkGeek (A K Cup that dispenses donuts? Priceless) Make sure you go and look up the Mass Effect Saturday Morning Cartoon on YouTube, that was awesome.

Years ago my husband explained to me the french custom (I don’t know if it is just Quebec or something they do in france too, but its part of his culture) of giving people fish on April First, so for the past few years I have honored this custom by drawing fish, here is this year’s fish.
