Boo!

It is (was) Halloween time and this year I seem to have had cyclops' on the brain! Behold! A cyclops pumpkin and sketches for an alphabet made entirely of wonderful one-eyed monsters!!!

Illustration Friday - Frozen

A silly painting inspired by perhaps my favourite thing to eat. ICE CREAM!!!!!!!!

Sketchy!

Just a couple of neat pages from my sketchbook.

Chicken and Fish

This is just an experiment based on a silly drawing from my sketchbook. It's painted with gouache. I kind of forgot about it. I suspect it's something I will be using more often in the future!

Mumble Tease

So this is the name and logo I have finally some up with for the t-shirts that I've been printing in my basement and selling to wonderful people who think the shirts are also wonderful.




These are the tags I made for the t-shirts I'm selling at a local boutique. Each shirt comes with two tags, a small one with a silly drawing on the front and the logo on the back, and then a large one with a blurb about the shirts on the front and the size on the back. FUN!!!

I've never painted on a road before...

This was a volunteer project I did for the community I live in. They are celebrating 50 years as a community. I painted the white outline on the road, and then kids in the neighborhood painted it in. They were lots of them and they were very speedy and I had trouble keeping up!

Collaboration with Chika!

Chika and I were part of the group show "Ampersand" at the Art Life Gallery in Calgary in August. The show featured 14 different pieces, all of which were done collaboratively. It was a blast! What you are seeing here was actually our second attempt at it. The other side of the board, which is about 2 by 4 feet, has our first attempt on it, which we abandoned after deciding we didn't really like the direction it was going... The piece was done without any planning, and I must admit partly under the influnece of delicious rum. Good times!!!

More T-shirts!

Yikes! I'm bad at keeping up with these things. I'm selling the shirts at the Freshlife Boutique in Calgary.

New Stuff

This is a late birthday card that I gave my sister at the end of our travels. I thought of all the most memorable moments and the neatest things we did and saw and drew them on the card.

This is a card my sister and I sent the parents from New Zealand for their 34th wedding anniversary. All I had was pens to draw with. I chose an animal from each of the countries we'd visited and had them relaying the message. Then on the back are my sister and I wearing cute dresses we'd picked up along the way, saying hello.


This is a commissioned painting (2 by 6 feet) I did for a friend. I saw where the painting was supposed to live, and then was given complete freedom to do whatever I wanted. This is what happened. All the white trees were silk screened onto the wood, and the bottom stripy part is scrap fabric from an old sweater of my mother's that I shortened so I could wear it. So much fun!
