Working on a new army of creatures for Etsy! >:D see you sooooon! Lots of monsters - working more on their clothes than previous creations...

A New Year

So sorry for the lapse in posts, my dear readers. I haven't been as busy as I should have been of late - but what I have made I have been rather pleased with...

Life continues here for me - a move may be in my future - maybe in this next place I shall set down literal roots and my works in the world of plants can continue as can my own world of strangeness.

Hope you're keeping warm - if you're where its cold - or staying cool if you're where it is warm.

Back with more soon!

New Paper! New doodles! New Friends

Okay - I broke down and bought new paper! I was home where all my paper is stored and forgot to grab a single sheet! Feels good to be sketching again - I love so many forms for makin' stuff that I do get a little overwhelmed.

This is just a bit of fan-art from Final Fantasy XIV - be prepared for more of it! I made tons of doodles from The Saga of Ryzom... just like to give something back to the community and to friends and total strangers <3 These two are my good friends Doki and Pia <-- wonderful new buddies who make me smile everyday... the least I can do is send them a sketch!

Back at'cha soon with more dolls and pencilings!

A New Bro

Bosch - a little monster guy I made awhile ago - found a home with a wonderful woman with the name of Winnie - who has become so enamored with him - that she desired I create a few more of Bosch - trouble is - I can't. I've never been able to create the same exact thing twice - not even sketching... not even with a light box and the original next to me - I always see new ways to go - new lines to focus on - new ways to move the fabric...

So Bosch now has brothers - Bros who wear shoes:

Feathers, Fur and Glue, oh my

Busy working on new stuff...
Someone told me my work reminded them of The Dark Crystal and Maurice Sendak's work. Could I be more flattered? I think not!

Art Dolls Only is having another doll making challenge - I think I might just have to take part!

Back to work I get!

Mini Muses!

Okay - I haven't worked the little books out yet- most of paper in in another state... truth is - I ran out and am too cheap to buy more when I know I have it piled in portfolios.... so drawing has had to take a side seat.... but man oh man do I have faux fur!

And without anymore ramblings:

A sneak peek at some mini StoryKeepers:

Drat! Late again!

I think this is the longest gap in my blog to date! I am so sorry, my adoring fans (mom, dad and grandma) - I've been distracted - but I'm back on course!

The dragon, sadly, is unfinished... I have him half done - but each time I look at him I think 'who the heck needs a two foot dragon sculpture in their house?' and i put it aside to work on something else.

What, you ask?

A collection of tiny tiny dolls - reactionary I suppose, but cute! And oh'so'much fun! These little guys are my latest incarnation of StoryKeepers - a group of little story muses who help inspire people to create such things as: travel guides, self help books and blogs.

I think at the tallest they're about 2.5 inches - I think the size will be much easier for people to live with and allows me more flexibly as well.

I'll take photos of them as soon as I've finished them up... I want each to have a little book.... and I'm still working out just how to do that right.

Promise you though - by next week - you'll be over run with updates and images!

Love to you all! See you soon!
