Happy Holidays

Holidays are crazy for just about anyone, but I'm glad I had the time to make a card this year! Take it from me though, vistaprint prices are alright - especially when you have a coupon - but skip lunch and pay extra for quality! The prints were okay, and I was still happy to give them out, but they could have been better that's for sure! Below was my process. Really simple. I don't like complicating things.

A Few Inks

During the month of October (which is a whole month gone already!) I managed to crank out a few "Inktober" sketches. The whole concept is pretty awesome - one ink drawing every day for the month of October. I made, maybe, the equivalent of a 5k in that respect. Here are some of my favorites. I did my best to stay Halloween-themed!

Mummy

Devil

Swamp Thing

Zombie

Ghost

Werewolf

Trick or Treaters

Happy Easter!

It's a bit late, but here's my Easter post! As usual I was swamped with pysanky to make for friends and coworkers. Overall I made upwards of 60, but only got to keep one or two in the end! Here are a few I snapped pictures of before I gave them away.

All in all it wasn't a bad egg season. Even had a couple successful classes! Here's to hoping next year will be just as productive!

Been a While

Hey there, it's been some time, huh? My last post was this past summer when I was getting into physical activity. It almost killed me! Well, I'm still running on and off. I did make it to 3 consecutive miles, but gosh is it a struggle every time. I still feel slower than a turtle sometimes!

I can't say much has been going on in the art world for me. I'd been very busy making pysanky for the past couple months. I had a new year's resolution to make a doodle a day, but it only lasted til the beginning of March! So much for that! Here are a couple scans -

You know, I really thought I had more scanned, but I guess they're still sitting in the ol sketchbook! I found that as the year went on, I also had less free time. Work piled on the hours, and I promised way too many people free pysanky. Way too many. But people see them and ask for them, and how can I say no? Perhaps I'm just a glutton for punishment.

Hopefully as we move past the Easter season I can find some inspiration to put to good use!
