A gingerbread village
Here is another drawing in my holidays collection. I love gingerbread people and creating a fun world they could live in. This is a pen and ink drawing, digitally colored.
Here it is in my online store on a tote bag.
Dear Santa, a letter from a snow-globe
I designed this image a few years ago and I revised it a little lately, only changing the font. I want to start building a small collection of my favorite designs I’ve done for the holidays. I don’t really remember how I did this but looking at it today, it’s pretty cool. Since I was without a computer for a few years, lots of strange things happened and pieces of my life went up in smoke. I’m making a collection on this blog of rescued work because these drawings involved were substantial and I believe they are worth saving.
I think it makes a good Christmas card but I also like it on a kids’ t-shirt. check it out.
This is the first time in years that I’ve had more than a minute to catch up and breathe. I can now enjoy my art and I don’t have to put up a fight to allow it to just …be. I don’t know where all this will lead, but it is helping me adjust to my new life here in Mexico.
A little girl visits a pumpkin patch
This little girl is a watercolor and she is on her own in Pumpkinville. She brought a few miniature jack-o-lanterns with her to the fall party. She was surprised to see lots of blue cats everywhere. My goodness, what a creative thinker she is to explore this territory all by herself.
I decided to edit the painting digitally and present it as a circle. It has an old fashioned quality to me and I thought that there is enough fantasy here to play a little.
Here is the image on products.
a b c alphabet letters
These three little letters were an idea I had a long time ago and I did not forget about them. I love drawing and sketching little critters and I hope I can get a complete alphabet one day of little marching letters. When I drew them the sketch had little white feet of some kind and I carried it through here in the photoshop drawing.
The red and green above are the original ideas which I managed to save from oblivion.
I love the little legs and I think if I can be consistent throughout the alphabet on treatment of this kind of nice flowing design, white feet, treatment on their heads and eyes especially and the thick and thin variety in the black lines, I hope I may actually have something here. I did do an alphabet a long time ago and here is one letter done in scratchboard and gold. I can’t find it right now but it will show up. It was pretty awesome.
Of course, I know I’m going about this in the wrong way because these should be done in vector in AI and to do them as bitmap in photoshop is pretty labor intensive. But….I wanted to get the idea down why I still remember it. Also I have lots of brushing up to do in Illustrator and photoshop is right now easier for me.
