Illustration Friday: Shades

Hey everyone!
Here is my latest Illustration Friday entry. The topic is "Shades." I wanted to do something fun so I worked up this idea of a skunk stuck under a lampshade. Also, here is another piece that a made a little while ago when I was working on my monster series. Enjoy!

West Collection!

Hey everyone
I wanted to make a post about a competition I entered. It's an art competition to be acquired for the West Collection, a renowned art collection from artists all over the world.  Each year they take submissions to be considered to be taken into their collection of work. The prizes are that they buy your work and you are forever a part of this really awesome collection that art appreciators and critics alike get to look at. Part of this year's competition is to get people to vote on your work with this new iPhone app. So if you have an iPhone, please check out my work and vote for my pieces. You can vote for as many as you want! I'm entering in the competition sort of late in the game, but your support is still welcomed.

I submitted work from my Nostalgia drawing series. Here are a couple of pieces that I entered. But please check them all out on the website!

Illustration Friday: Yield

This week's IF topic "Yield" was a little tricky. It took me a while to think of something that really struck me. But I came up with this little image of the hedgehog beekeepers collecting their bee's yield. I have a feeling that they would make great beekeepers. The bees would be just as concerned about getting stung as they would.

Illustration Friday: Intention

This weeks IF topic Intention has me thinking about the intentions we have when we are young. They may seem small, but at the time they are quite important. So I did a couple of drawings that came to mind with that theme.

Hunkering down at Jackson Island

I've really been into woodland creatures and settings in the woods lately. I finished this illustration last week that was inspired by Huckleberry Finn. I was thinking about how much fun it would be to camp out on Jackson Island and some nice gumbo cooking over a fire to share with my best friend.

Illustration Friday: Capable

This week's IF topic "capable" got me thinking about how we are all capable of anything. What are you capable of?

 Doing something amazing?

Are you capable of saying goodbye?

Are you capable of saying no?

Lunch Break

Here's my latest little guy I've completed. He's been chopping wood all morning long and a nice hot thermos of tomato soup sounds so good right about now.
