Hello again

So it's been a while, but I've never been good at these things.  ANYWAY.  I work at an art store and this month we've been doing a sketch-a-thon type thing because we got some awesome free sketchbooks.  This is the little picture I did for "favorite fairy tale" day.  I chose the Elf in the Rose by Hans Christian Andersen because, come on, it's awesome.  If you haven't read it, do so, it's as messed up as you'd expect an HCA story would be.

Practice

I did some photoshop practice today inspired by one of those old spirit photographs.  I may do something more with this someday...someday.

Squid

I've been making necklaces out of my art lately and I bought a bunch of trays that don't fit any of my work, so I decided to design something for the tray.  Here's what I came up with:

Giant squid!  I love them.  It's pretty small, but I really like the way this came out.  I may even get a tattoo of it someday...you know, If at some point I'll find it's worth the money.

Pokeballs

Okay, so I did my first red and white pokeballs a very long time ago knowing that they'd probably been done a million times before.  And why not?  It's the perfect design.  While I'm also sure people have done the other ones as well, I've decided that I'm going to do nails for all the different kinds of pokeballs.  These are the ones I've done so far.

 Normal pokeballs.

 Great balls.

 Ultra balls.

Master balls.  These were probably the hardest to do and you can probably tell haha.

My next design will be premier balls.

Fancy Nails

I'm a little bit of a nail polish enthusiast.  I own more bottles than I should and spend too much time painting my nails.  However, I love it.  Seeing as I have more changes in nail polish than I have finished pieces of art at the moment, I've decided to post some of my hobby here.  This is an art blog, but it can be two things, right?  And nail polish is basically art.

So here a couple of the designs I've done so far.

These were modeled after the radiation symbol.  I got some fancy glow in the dark nail polish and thought it would be the natural step.

The last two are pretty self-explanatory haha.  They're just fun little designs I did.

There will be more of these coming in the future since I have a lot of backlogged images.  I hope you find them as amusing as I do.

The Girl with the Owls

This started out as a project for school, but I hadn't finished it until now.  Done in oils, as usual.

Aaaanyway, the owls were fun to paint in this.  Barn owls are cool.

Obligatory First Blog Entry

I am now starting a blog.  I mean, who doesn't have one these days.  I cross my heart and hope to die and stick a needle in my eye that I will update this.  If nothing else, it'll get me to do art more often.
